19001627Original manuscript. c.1900. Quarto red cloth album with bevelled edges 25.5 x 19.5cm containing 28 fine black chalk drawings on thin tracing paper depicting various ancient Persian and other Middle Eastern rulers mounted at the corners to the leaves. Each sheet approximately 18 x 15cm. Seven images with red manuscript titles in Cyrillic beneath. Armorial crest in red ink and small old bookseller's printed description affixed to the front pastedown. Old pencil note to the front free endpaper stating "Tracings from the tombs". The album itself is significantly worn and lacking the spine the upper board held by the cords only and with the first five leaves loose and other leaves becoming so. The leaves with light foxing and marking and occasional nicks to the extremities. Possibly lacking one drawing at the beginning. The first drawing is detached and has creasing to the corners affecting the image at one corner several other drawings are detached at one or two corners but still remaining mounted to the leaves with minor loss to the blank corners and with a little wrinkling to the extremities otherwise the images are in good order. An intriguing album of finely-executed black chalk drawings depicting twenty-eight rulers from Persia the Middle East and Mediterranean with named individuals including: "Rut-n-nu"of Egypt; "Dikran II" Tigranes the Great 140-55 BC King of Armenia; Amastris c.340-39-284 BC Persian princess and ruler of Heraclea the first woman in the Mediterranean publicly identified as the political economic and administrative royal authority; Nicocles King of Paphos d. 306 BC; "Turan Khan"; Mithridates; and "Sheikh al Arab".</p><p>According to the early twentieth-century bookseller's note affixed to the front pastedown the drawings are "tomb tracings" of Persian and Egyptian portraits. The first image titled "Rut-n-nu" depicting a portrait from an Egyptian temple which was also reproduced by the French Egyptologist Jean-François Champollion in his "Monuments de l'Egypte de la Nubie" 1835-45 certainly appears to indicate this. However the remaining drawings all very much in the Persian manner and uniform in their style and execution and of which we can find no other examples/copies puts a question mark over this apparent origin.</p><p>Provenance: from the library of Dr. Hugh J.

1850355490717558London 1850. Hard Cover. Eighth Edition. Originally published in 1844 by John Churchill. vi 319 pp. The Eighth Edition of this important work on creationism had the "note conclusory" see page vi re-written and is referred to as the Cheap Edition". Publisher's original half-leather binding with marbled boards and matching marbled end-papers. Five raised bands to the spine. Title in gilt to the spine. Former owner's book-plate on the front paste-down. Red speckled page block edges. Two other former owner's neat names on the second free end-paper one of whom has written on the verso: "Carter in a lecture 1954 says that Vestiges of Creation was published first in 1844 and is probably by Chambers". Overall a VG copy. Vestiges influenced Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Chambers a self-taught Amateur Naturalist was the anonymous author of Vestiges which was highly influential in mid 19th century scientific and political circles. Vestiges was much maligned by its Victorian critics but it has fared well at the hands of modern historians and is now perceived as an important piece of Victorian literature. It was originally written anonymously due to its controversial nature. At the time of cataloguing I can find no UK editions of this title being offered for sale and a only a couple of US editions from a roughly comparable era. Scans invited. hardcover

The book as is the other I have listed Volume 5 is a slightly odd collation and consists of - a Full page Engraved Frontispiece of 'His Gracious Majesty George the Third' opposite a most attractive Engraved Title Page to Volume IV dated 1811 with a small rectangular engraved vignette 'View of Horseguards from St James Park'. Both pages have some light damp-staining. This is followed by The Title/Contents page for 'The Royal Military Chronicle or British Officer's Monthly Register and Mentor for MAY 1812' followed by a full page engraving of ' The Duke of York ' pages 3 to 88 pp NOTE: ALL the Frontispieces have some light and varied dampstaining and most have tissue guards : Then follows - 'The Royal Military Chronicle.

Then follows the Index to Volume IV: Finally - Bound in at the End is = 'The Life of Charles XII. King of Sweden". Translated from the French. And Now Published with Additions and Corrections. Published 1812 by J. Davis Military Chronicle Office. This is 'The Supplement to The Royal Military Chronicle' . iv 142 pp. Generally this volume is Internally VERY Good. Please also see my listing for Volume V as this too seems to have also been a personally bound volume and going from the list of 'Embellishments' at the end of the Volume V Index which lists 6 portraits starting with 'His Majesty George III' - it would appear that Volume 5 should have started with the Chronicle for November 1812 with his portrait relating to the content of these issues and all of that has been bound in THIS volume by the former owner. Contents include: - Operations in Estremadura in 1811 Journal of the Campaign in 1809 The War between France and Russia; Russian Army Estimates of the Strength of France and Russia; All current 1811/12/13 Military movements/info together with Biographies and Obituaries of the major Military figures of the day Casualties of War etc and Various articles on Campaigns Medical problems etc older Memoirs etc ; Elements of the Art of War; Journal of the Eighty-Third Regiment; Journal of Occurences at Dominica; Journal of the Seige of Tarifa; Recruiting Officers; Extracts/Articles from The London Gazette and all things Military of this period etc etc etc. Images available on Request.
