A very rare book of which we could not locate a single copy held anywhere on the globe.

1771601311771. ANONYMOUS. Anecdotes of a Convent. By the Author of Memoirs of Mrs. Williams. 18th-century full calf gilt-lettered red and black morocco spine labels. Dublin: Printed for J. Potts and T. Walker 1771. 2 Vols. First Irish edition published in the same year as the London edition. Rare Worldcat lists only two copies of this edition and seven of the London edition. This epistolary novel has been attributed to Helen Maria Williams but this is most unlikely as she would have been ten-years-old at the date of publication. The chapter describing events at the convent has been included in Terry Castle's anthology The Literature of Lesbianism Columbia University Press 2003 though it deals with a young woman falling in love with another woman who turns out to be a man raised at the convent and unaware that he is male. Some light toning and foxing light wear to conrers front free endpaper of Vol. 2 lacking else a very good copy. unknown

181213603London: Published by J. Deeley No. 95 Berwick Street 1812. Coloured aquatint. Printed on wove paper. In excellent condition with the exception of some light sunning where a mat was in place. Plate mark is faint. Image size: 14 3/4 x 19 5/8 inches. A commanding view of Ludlow Castle in Shropshire.<br/> <br/>After the Norman invasion a string of castles was planned along the English/Welsh border to guard against the unconquered Welsh and Ludlow held one of the strongest defensive positions. The castle was built by Walter de Lacy in the late 11th century and his family retained the lordship until the end of the 13th century. It then passed through various hands until it was taken over by the Mortimer family. In 1425 it was passed to Richard Plantagenet the leader of the Yorkists in the Wars of the Roses but it was taken and sacked by the Lancastrians in 1459. In 1461 when Richard's son became Edward IV the castle became Crown property and remained so for 350 years. Edward and Richard the two princes in the Tower spent most of their childhood at Ludlow and Edward was there when he heard of his father's death and his accession to the throne as Edward V. They went to London for his coronation but were imprisoned in the Tower and shortly afterwards murdered. Henry VII's eldest son Prince Arthur and his wife Catherine of Aragon were staying at Ludlow when he died in 1502 and his heart is buried there. His death led his younger brother to become Henry VIII on their father's death and to marry Arthur's widow who became the first of Henry's six wives. The buildings fell into disrepair during the 18th century but were restored by the Earl of Powis in 1771. Published by J. Deeley, No. 95 Berwick Street unknown books
16795420Burgos 1679. No Binding. Very Good. Folio 28.5 x 19 cm. 1 f. title page 14 ff. with engraving on title page. Disbound. Very minor handsoiling a few leaves trimmed close at upper margin resulting in partial loss of printed folio numbers manuscript foliation contemporary annotations to final page. Generally very good. Very rare Spanish legal document concerning tithes certified between the Archbishop of Granada Alonso Bernardo de los Rios y Guzman served 1677-92 and the Prior of the Carthusian monastery of Granada. While the text offers a fascinating and surprisingly detailed account of this ecclesiastical suit and is especially rich in prosopographical material the work is primarily of importance for its early copperplate engraving of the Virgin of Atocha depicted as the miraculous patroness of Madrid. The revered statue a wooden carving now thought to date from the thirteenth century is here depicted clothed in its golden baroque regalia and crowned with radiating halos for centuries the Virgin accrued the rich votive offerings of royal visitors. Housed in the Basilica de Neustra Señora de Atocha in Madrid the Virgin was long especially favored by the kings and queens of Spain and her presence on the title of this legal document functions as a manner of royal certification the text ends with the printed approval of Carlos II here simply "YO EL REY". OCLC and KVK locate only one copy of this text that housed at the Universidad de Sevilla. Not in Palau; the present copy collates with the Seville copy. <br/> <br/> unknown books
