An authentic narrative of the siege of Plymouth by the Royalist troops in the year 1643

46943with various interesting particulars relating thereto carefully reprinted from ancient documents : together with a notice of the fortifications of the town at that period its forts outworks walls gates draw-bridges &c.; and an attempt to trace and point out the existing remains of those ancient fortified barriers. Plymouth : G. P. Hearder 1843. Duodecimo modern marbled papered boards with gilt-lettered Morocco title-piece to upper board; pastedown with ex libris of G. & N. Ingleton; original printed blue wrappers bound in title with ownership inscription of noted Plymouth Dissenter Robert Govett 1813-1901 pp. 58 folding colour map; occasional light foxing a very good copy with a newspaper article on the Siege of Plymouth cut from the Western Daily Mercury 11 December 1874 mounted on 3 leaves at rear. A scarcely recorded account of the Siege of Plymouth by the Royalists in the Civil War locally published in the bicentennial year of the bloodiest episode in the city's history. Although the source documents on which the narrative is based are not explicitly stated it seems likely that the diary of John Syms Puritan naval chaplain and librarian was one of them. Having refused to surrender to the Royalists the citizenry of Plymouth signed a solemn covenant to fight to the last man; although poorly armed the defenders managed to overcome a formidable attacking force commanded by Sir Richard Grenville. The town held out for the next four years until the Parliamentary army finally prevailed over the Royalists. With the death of Cromwell in 1658 and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 however retribution was exacted by King Charles II against the leaders of the Plymouth resistance many of whom were imprisoned.

Anon [after SAINSON, Louis Auguste de, 1800-1887]Biblio.com

An Aboriginal man of King George's Sound Western Australia. Circa 1835.

34377Watercolour on laid paper with watermark of a horse and rider and pair of scales 200 x 148 mm sheet; captioned in ink 'Nouvelle Hollande' at bottom left and with a foliation number '184' in the same hand at bottom right; the sheet is unmounted verso blank and the drawing has survived in fine condition - virtually in its original state; removal from a sketchbook at some point is confirmed by the slightly roughened top edge of the sheet which also shows evidence of the original stitch holes. This watercolour sketch was made by an anonymous French artist probably around 1835. It appears to be a conflation of several images by the voyage artist Louis Auguste de Sainson 1800-1887 which depict Indigenous people at King George's Sound Albany Western Australia. Sainson made his sketches in situ in 1826 during the Astrolabe's scientific round-the-world voyage under the command of Dumont d'Urville. His drawings were reproduced as engraved plates in Voyage de la Corvette l'Astrolabe Paris: J. Tastu1830-35 and elsewhere. The male figure wears a short animal-skin cloak characteristic of the type worn by the men in Sainson's King George's Sound drawings. His arms are outstretched with the wrists limp and hands downturned a highly distinctive gesture that appears to have been copied directly from the identical body language of several of the subjects in Sainson's famous drawing titled Port du Roi Georges. Nouvelle-Hollande. Un naturel montre à ses Compagnons les Cadeaux qu'il a reçus à bord de L'Astrolabe which depicts an Indigenous man showing his companions the trinkets given to him by the Astrolabe's crew. Furthermore the way in which the man is shown in full profile with knees slightly bent his straggly beard and hair accentuated is strikingly similar to the manner in which the left-hand figure in Sainson's Nlle. Hollande. Naturels du port du Roi Georges is posed. Finally the native grass tree Xanthorrhoea australis is placed at the bottom right of the image just as it is in Sainson's Vue d'un Étang près la Baie du Roi Georges. unknown

Eccentric Biography; Or Memoirs of Remarkable Female Characters Ancient and Modern.

180321250471803. London: Printed by J. Cundee . Sold by T. Hurst. 1803. 12mo. Contemporary sprinkled calf with restorations; pp. xii 349 eight stipple-engraved portraits including frontispiece; binding worn; occasional light spotting or browning p. 173 with flaw to lower outer corner; otherwise a good copy.First edition of this anonymously published compendious biographical dictionary of remarkable women who defied gender roles or led independent lives and had a positive impact on their societies and the perception of women.Almost programmatically the volume opens with the biography of Alice a 106-year old African-American slave in Pennsylvania who remembered the days of William Penn and the first settlers. At the age of 95 she still could be seen in full gallop on her daily way to church. Alice of Dunk's Ferry as she became known died in 1802 in Bristol Pennsylvania and is considered now to have been the formost local aural historian for the eighteenth centrury. In the entry for Alice is a reference to a portrait ""See annexed engraving"" p. 3 which is not listed in the directions to the binder and strangely enough can only be found in the later 1804 Worcester Massachusetts edition printed by Isaiah Thomas 1749-1831 a New England pioneer politician writer publisher and printer to whom this text is sometimes ascribed.A precursor of this dictionary is the 1801 ""Eccentric Biography; Or Memoirs of Remarkable Characters"" published by T. Hurst. It contained biographies of both genders; however far fewer of women about a fifth of the almost one hundred biographies collected in this first edition. Among them are biographies of the cross-dressing Chevalier d'Eon Mme de Pompadour Angelica Kaufmann Mary Wollstonecraft the longest and most laudatory biographical entry in the volume Mary Astell Catherine I and II empresses of Russia and other outstanding female lives from history.See Sabin 21754 for the Boston edition of ""Eccentric Biography of Remarkable Characters"" and a Boston 1825 edition. unknown
