160914228London; Printed by Thomas Purfoot for Clement Knight 1609. 1609. Quarto sig. A-K4 L1 lacks the final blank. Later spotted full calf blind double fillets to boards titles gilt to spine all edges speckled red. An early English account of Morocco by an anonymous pamphleteer sometimes called 'Robert Cottingham'. This volume gives an account of the privateer and adventurer Sir Anthony Sherley's 1565-1636 ambassadorships from Rudolf II Holy Roman Emperor to Mowlai Abd-el-Aziz son of Ahmed II Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. These accounts were made famous in Samuel Purchas's influential 'Purchas his Pilgrimmes' 1614 which is a rather more robust volume. Sherley was a remarkably well travelled Elizabethan gentleman beginning his career as a captain in Robert Dudley's forces before becoming a knight of Henri IV and then launching military expeditions to West Africa Sao Tome and Jamaica. Sherley journeyed to Persia where he became the representative of the Shah in Moscow Prague and Rome. Effectively exiled from his own country Sherley went to Prague where he became emissary of the Holy Roman Emperor to Morocco. He would later became an admiral of the Spanish fleet in the Levant. He died in 1635 penniless and obscure. This pamphlet presents Sherley's experiences in Morocco as well as accounts from other travellers like him as it would have appeared to the English reading public for the first time. Slight nicks to boards joints beginning to crack. First and final leaves a little soiled and small contemporary ink numeral to title-page. Modest paper repair to margin of C4 and occasional light spots of soiling to margins only. A very good copy. Rare in commerce we can locate one copy only at auction in the last 70 years.

180511760London: Tabart and Co. Good with no dust jacket. 1805. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Front & back covers are loose and the spine is missing. ; Note that this is five books bound as one. Wilkinson's first book is a first edition. "Visit to a Farm-House" is a second edition also dated 1805. "The Benevolent Widow" is a third edition. "Prince Lee Boo" is undated and page 31/32 is clipped. "Hamlain" is not a first as it is dated 1804 and I believe the work was published in 1799. It may however be a first Irish printing as it was done in Dublin.

18854622Anhée Wallonia Belgium: Abbaye de Maradsous 1885. First edition. Complete. A collection of 20 large albumen photographs laid onto backing card with description of each printed to the bottom edge showing the Abbaye de Maredsous and the Ecole Abbataile. These are held in a red clamshell box with black and gilt decoration crest and titles. The box has significant fading / spotting from damp but is still holding well and has done its job of protecting the photographs inside. The photographs are of high quality and show the building of the abbey and the new school there. They are dated by the fact that the school was founded in 1881 earliest date and that the the Abbey was completed in 1892 but in these images is still some way off completion. Interesting architectural prints but also of the students and staff at the school both being educated and relaxing. A very nice collection. Images are mostly 17cm x 24cm and backing cards are 25cm x 32cm. Box is 35cm x 27cm. Abbaye de Maradsous unknown
