17147280London: For Richard Wilkin 1714. Octavo 19 x 12.5 cm. 16 218 13 pages. FIRST EDITION. “Mary Kettilby’s collection of cookery recipes and medicinal and home remedies from a tasty “green-pease soop without meat†to gooseberry wine. Households that could not afford French cooks or French cooking came to form a growing audience for books by women that contained unpretentious recipes cut to suit a less costly cloth for pickling and collaring rather than ragouts. Where Hannah Woolley had led plenty of female cooks with their eye on the profitable middle market followed with books like Mary Kettilby’s collection of recipes 1714 and Eliza Smith’s Compleat Housewife 1734†Colquhoun Taste: The Story of Britain through its Cookery 2015. Kettilby’s book purported to be a collective effort: the preface stating that ‘a Number of very Curious and Delicate House-wives Club’d to furnish out this Collection’. Maclean however pages 79-82 doubts this and notes that evidence from later editions indicate Kettilby to be the main author. Apart from the Preface there is no introduction of any sort: the recipes follow immediately after the chapter headings. The book is clearly divided into chapters of recipes for food and for remedies but within the chapters there is no definite structure. For example the first chapter begins with six recipes for soups followed by recipes for collared beef ‘French-Cutlets’ collared mutton stewed pigeons broiled pigeons dressed turbot and then patties ‘for a Dish of Fish’. The recipes are given either as goals as ‘To make Hogs-Puddings’ or as titles sometimes with descriptions as ‘A very good Tansy’. Quantities are given in whichever units are convenient as ‘a Gallon of grated Bread’ ‘three Pounds of Currants’ or ‘nine Eggs’. Often quantities rely on the cook’s judgment as ‘as much Sugar as will make it very sweet’. Temperatures and timings are given when necessary as ‘a cool Oven: Half an Hour bakes it’. Later binding in 19th century style. Half-calf gilt-decorated spine marbled endpapers. The front paste-down contains the bookplates of two significant culinary collections: Thomas Scruggs & Margaret Cook and Marian Hatch. The Hatch bookplate was designed and engraved by British engraver Alfred J. Downey. With the bookseller's ticket of Philip C. Duschnes to the rear pastedown.

191336796Atlanta: The Atlanta Publishing Company 1913. Soft cover. Poor. Wraps. Approx. 8" x 5". 144 pages. Complete. Wraps are in poor condition. Paper is extremely fragile with multiple chips tears and loss to the covers and spine. A poor earlier glue repair job has left the remains of the covers stained. Covers are mostly detached and at the time of this catalog description are barely attached by old tape repairs. First and last pages are near detached. Page edges for the first few pages are chipped and creased. Browned pages to the text<br /> <br /> This extremely scarce coverage of the Leo Frank Trial was published shortly after the trial was completed. Two years later a mob broke into the Milledgeville prison where Frank was an inmate and kidnapped Frank. The mob drove Frank to Marietta Georgia where he was hanged. From the author name not provided on page 2 - "This work ends with the conviction of Frank in the superior court of Fulton Atlanta county. Trial did not end the case for immediately after the young defendant was sentenced to pay the death penalty a motion for a new trial was made and it will be months probably years before he hangs if he ever does. From the day of conviction however the fight for Frank's life became a technical legal battle. The real story ends with the trial and every essential feature is given here." The last two pages of this narrative express the fears of Atlanta officials if a not guilty verdict and the potential of lynching before the jury reached its guilty verdict. An extremely scarce fragile and period narrative of one of the most violent Civil Rights abuses in Georgia history. No physical copies located in OCLC. No copies showing in auctions or the trade. Leo Frank was a superintendent at the National Pencil Company in Atlanta. He was charged with the murder of Mary Phagan a 13 year old employee of the National Pencil Factory. She was found murdered at the factory on April 26 1913. <br /> <br /> From the New Georgia Encyclopedia: "Based mainly on the testimony of the janitor who had been held in seclusion for six weeks before the trial on orders from Solicitor General Hugh M. Dorsey the jury convicted the defendant. Frank's attorneys were unable to break Conley's testimony on the stand. They also allowed evidence to be introduced suggesting that Frank had many dalliances with girls and perhaps boys in his employ. Atlantans hoped for a conviction. They surrounded the courthouse cheered the prosecutor as he entered and exited the building each day and celebrated wildly when the jurors after twenty-five days of trial found Frank guilty". <br /> <br /> Shortly after the trial concluded the appeals process began. From New Georgia Encyclopedia: "Within weeks of the trial's outcome in early September friends of Frank sought assistance from northern Jews including constitutional lawyer Louis Marshall of the American Jewish Committee. Marshall gave advice about what information to include in the appeal but Frank's Georgia attorneys ignored his counsel. Frank's lawyers filed three successive appeals to the Supreme Court of Georgia and two more to the U.S. Supreme Court all on such procedural issues as Frank's absence when the verdict was rendered and the excessive amount of public influence placed on the jury. Ultimately the U.S. Supreme Court still on procedural grounds denied Frank's appeals; however a minority of two Oliver Wendell Holmes and Charles Evans Hughes dissented. They noted that the trial was conducted in an atmosphere of public hostility: "Mob law does not become due process of law by securing the assent of a terrorized jury." Governor John Slaton of Georgia reviewed the testimony and went to the Pencil factory. After reviewing the case the Governor commuted Frank's sentence in 1915. This infuriated Georgians leading to Atlanta riots and the safety of Frank Slaton. Slaton left the state for 10 years after his term in office ended. In August of 1915 25 leading citizens of Marietta kidnapped Leo Frank and drove him to Marietta where he was hanged. The Atlanta Publishing Company unknown

2024Paris: Olympia 1966. Small 8vo pp.223. Original green stiff paper wrappers lettered in black to panels and spine. Some wear to spine new price stamped to rear panel and the printed one deleted some light creasing and edgewear to front panel. A piracy of the Olympia title Hell Is Filling Up originally published in 1961. The half-title and title page use fonts dissimilar to those used by Olympia but the green wrappers are faithfully reproduced and the text has been reproduced without being reset. The immediate giveaway is the Traveller's Companion number given to the book: 215. The Traveller's Companion series only went as far as 96. The identity of 'Peter O'Neill' who wrote two books for Olympia remains unknown. An interesting Olympia curiosity. Paris: Olympia, 1966

A very good copy in a later binding of a rather unwieldy work.<br /> <br /> A later printing of Wade's incendiary 1820 catalog of abuses performed by the Church The King the Government and various business interests against the people security and progress of Great Britain. A continued bestseller demonstrating a fervent appetite on the part of the British public to read Wade's excoriating denunciation of the upper classes and their merely wealthy counterparts. On a number of fronts this public airing of secretly dirty laundry met with some political and social success and led to some very public gestures at reform. Effingham Wilson unknown
47600Berlin: 1848: Vereins Buchdruckerei. Broadside 27cm x 20cm ca 10-3/4" x 8". Printed in blackletter on white wove stock. Slightly toned with old vertical and horizontal fold-lines; creased at margins; Very Good. Satirical broadside in the form of a fictional speech by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV in which he ironically expresses support for the demands made by liberal parliamentarians at the May 18th Parliamentary Assembly in Frankfurt-am-Main. These included expanded rights for the underprivileged classes including most importantly universal male suffrage; attenuation of executive power; the election of a permanent German parliament and monetary reforms including a unified German currency. The great wave of liberal revolt that washed over the European Continent in 1848 proved short-lived; by 1851 most of the newly-established liberal régimes had been quashed by reactionary movements with radical leaders either imprisoned murdered or driven into exile. Out of this crucible would arise the Franco-Prussian War and the militant Marxist nihilist and anarchist movements of later in the century. A highly evocative document of the first wave of German radical revolt. Rare; OCLC and KVK note three locations only all in Germany. Vereins Buchdruckerei unknown

183988235London UK: Henry Smith 44 Drury Lane 1839-1840. First Thus. 12mo. 14.5cm. Disbound retaining buff rear wrap stitched possibly at some point removed from a sammelband. 36pp. Clean and bright with a 1" closed tear to the lower spine edge of the title page; internally fresh lacking the frontispiece plate depicting "The Marquis and His Molls at The Union and Mother Emerson's". A very good clean copy indeed of a vanishingly scarce publication. <br /> <br /> Published under two identifiable imprints; one by "John Wilson" of Long Acre actually the rather shady Edward Duncombe and this volume by "Henry Smith" who was actually notorious smut peddler William Dugdale. Wilson's imprint is the one from the Madeline Kripke Collection currently residing at the Lilly Library in Bloomington Indiana and was long thought to be the only surviving copy. Another copy of the Wilson/Duncombe surfaced in trade in a catalog from the luminous and erudite Karen Thomson in the mid 20-teens and presumably disappeared into a private collection. This copy is the only traceable copy of the Henry Smith imprint with no visibility in OCLC at all. <br /> <br /> Precedence is undeniably difficult to establish; Dugdale was trading at 94 Drury Lane in 1837-1838 and was next door or more likely downstairs at 94 ½ Drury Lane in late 1839 after a brief few months over on Wych Street. He was verifiably printing and publishing work under the "Henry Smith" shingle in 1838 and was presumably still using it in 1839 but in 1840 he was over on Holywell St. off The Strand. <br /> Duncombe on the other hand can be placed at 78 Long Acre having taken a rental on a shop in what was most likely late 1839 it is recorded that in 1841 he hung the name "John Wilson" over the door apparently to the surprise of his landlord who testified in court that there was no such person at that address although there is scant evidence to suggest he wasn't publishing under Wilson prior to that. Purely for amusement purposes it should be noted that during the time this work was printed neither of these two piratical gentlemen was further than 4 minutes walk from each other. <br /> Ms. Kripke stuck to a date of 1840 for her "Wilson" copy and a date of 1840 can be applied to the Smith imprint via a periodical advertisement discovered by the publisher of "The Penny Bibliography"; Mr. John Adcock https://john-adcock.blogspot.com/2009/03/penny-bibliography.html. <br /> The fact that it bears the 94 Drury Lane address suggests a printing date of late 1839 although seeing as both Dugdale and Duncombe were perpetually in and out of court and jail for various crimes against decency throughout their entire careers any accuracy in the timeline can be ascribed to accident rather than intention.<br /> <br /> This copy rather sadly lacks the frontispiece which presumably would have looked much like the one Duncombe/Wilson used in his publication although his has a rather proprietorial publisher's imprint across it depicting a virile young rake cavorting through a number of the establishments mentioned within. <br /> <br /> A significant link in a long chain of bawdy guides rake's progressions and "Gentlemen's Kalendars" that owes much to Harris's Lists of half a century earlier; "Larks of London" occupies a clearly rather cramped space alongside "The Swell's Night Guide Through The Metropolis" by "F.L.G." and the "Man of Pleasure's Illustrated Pocket Book" and their ilk. Stopping short of active descriptions of sexual acts but making no bones about their availability and the addresses where they could or should be purchased it also expands into discussions of the relative quality of food drink and gaming facilities whether the company can be construed to be "Low" or of a more elevated nature and a certain strategic interest in how to get the very best from a night on the most irredeemably vice-ridden town in the Empire.

80649N.p. n.d. s.i. Octavo 23cm. Printed buff wrappers; 32pp all halftone photographic reproductions. Mild external creasing and soil; pencil note to front cover "from Leslie / Sept 11th 1932"; another faint pencil annotation to rear wrapper indecipherable; else clean and unmarked Very Good. <br /> <br /> Reproduces thirty official U.S. War Department and Signal Corps photographs all being battlefield photos of atrocities from the European theatre in WW1. Most are extremely graphic images of dead and mutilated soldiers the only text being brief captions providing sardonic commentary: "Abandoned;" "Decapitated;" "Asphyxiated;" "Where Children Played;" "The Price They Paid" etc. Issued without date or attribution nor has our research uncovered any definitive bibliographical data but the pamphlet was clearly intended to generate anti-war sentiment. Date uncertain; most OCLC records suggest a 1920s date but we suspect the pamphlet was issued later probably around the penciled date on front cover to discourage further American entanglements in the European conflict then just predictable on the far horizon. unknown
