Modern half-calf over marbled boards spine with raised bands gilt-stamped black morocco lettering-piece; pp. xvi 478 2 complete with half-title and errata leaf; partial fading to binding a little spotting initially and at the end some scattered brown spots early stamps of Birmingham Library to title-page and at the end; a good copy.Uncommon first and only edition of these letters by the tutor to the two sons of the ambassador-extraordinary to the Russian empress Catherine the Great Lord Cathcart sent to St. Petersburg in 1768. Richardson served as well as secretary to Lord Cathcart and was therefore well-positioned to observe society events in the capital and obtain information on the Russo-Turkish war. As a Scottish humanist William Richardson 1743-1814 describes the social position of the peasantry as being 'in a state of abject slavery' p. 193; one chapter is headed Reflections on the Effects of Despotism and he has not much good to say about the clergy.ESTC T136683. hardcover

Pictured are cast members Geraldine Chaplin Julie Christie Tom Courtenay Alec Guinness Ralph Richardson Omar Sharif and Rod Steiger. Photo is signed Alec Guinness and Ralph Richardson. Circa 1965. Please inquire for more information.<br/> <br/> Sir Alec Guinness was an English actor. In the BFI listing of the 100 most important British films of the 20th century he was the single most noted actor represented across nine films six in starring roles and three in supporting roles including five directed by David Lean and four from Ealing Studios. He won an Academy Award a BAFTA a Golden Globe and a Tony Award. In 1959 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to the arts. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960 the Academy Honorary Award for lifetime achievement in 1980 and the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award in 1989. Sir Ralph David Richardson was an English actor who with John Gielgud and Laurence Olivier was one of the trinity of male actors who dominated the British stage for much of the 20th century. He worked in films throughout most of his career and played more than sixty cinema roles. From an artistic but not theatrical background Richardson had no thought of a stage career until a production of Hamlet in Brighton inspired him to become an actor. He learned his craft in the 1920s with a touring company and later the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. In 1931 he joined the Old Vic playing mostly Shakespearean roles. He led the company the following season succeeding Gielgud who had taught him much about stage technique. After he left the company a series of leading roles took him to stardom in the West End and on Broadway.<br/> <br/> unknown
1855035033New Haven CT: Thomas H. Pease 1855. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. First Edition. 2 Vols bound as 1. Willard Clark 217pp; Matt F. Ward 176pp. Library style binding with reddish brown cloth boards gilt titles on spine. Square tight binding and unmarked pages. Foxing throughout Clark volume. Toning to the Ward volume but no evidence of foxing. Two pamphlets bound as one each the lone edition of the title in question. Finely detailed contemporaneous sources on a pair of infamous nineteenth-century murders. In the case of the Clark trial he "was apparently infatuated with a girl who married Wight. With no warning he shot Wight through the head while Wight was kneeling to tie a bundle. The crime and trial were in New Haven Connecticut; Clark was acquitted on the ground of insanity." The Ward case began with a matter of school discipline and devolved from there: "Butler the principal of Louisville High School had whipped Matt Ward's younger brother. Matt demanded an apology of Butler not for the whipping but for calling the boy a liar. The apology not forthcoming words followed; and Ward having come prepared for blood shot Butler. Kentucky justice was that Ward was promptly acquitted. A pair of uncommon pamphlets available in a single bound volume. Size: Octavo. Thomas H. Pease Hardcover

Through these quotations he "sought. to justify the preposterous theory of John Horne Tooke that each word had a single immutable meaning.
