178057363London: G. Kearsly 1780. First Edition. 8vo pp.4 91 1. Includes the half title removed from a bound volume. Very good. Not in Adams nor Sabin. Refers to the Gordon Riots also called No-Popery Riots that took place in London in June 1780. The Anti-Catholic agitation was instigated by Lord George Gordon. From Wikipedia: "The Gordon Riots of 1780 began as an anti-Catholic protest in London against the Papists Act of 1778 which intended to reduce official discrimination against British Catholics. The protest evolved into riots and looting. The Gordon Riots by Charles Green. The Popery Act 1698 had imposed a number of penalties and disabilities on Roman Catholics in England; the 1778 Act eliminated some of these. An initial peaceful protest led on to widespread rioting and looting and was the most destructive in the history of London. Painted on the wall of Newgate prison was the proclamation that the inmates had been freed by the authority of "His Majesty King Mob". The term "King Mob" afterwards denoted an unruly and fearsome proletariat.The Riots came at the height of the American War of Independence when Britain was fighting American rebels France Spain and the Dutch Republic. They led to unfounded fears that they had been a deliberate attempt by France and Spain to destabilise Britain before an imminent invasion similar to the Armada of 1779. G. Kearsly unknown books

123238France: c. 1809-1820. 8vo 36 leaves printed rectos only illustrated. Brown pebbled cloth rebacked leather backstrip with raised bands gilt-stamped bees and the binder's title "Florilége" sic in the compartments green coated endpapers. Cloth considerably stained backstrip rubbed pages lightly toned and foxed but sound overall. § A curious book appearing to be a lithographic facsimile of a manuscript in which pious reflections are inspired by wayside flowers in the format of a flora. With adept illustrations of the flowers and some religious scenes apparently drawn by the author printed on better paper in monochrome in one of three inks and tipped to each facing page. There is no title page instead the book opens with a quote from Chateaubriand's Les Martyrs published 1809 beneath which is the stamp "Déposé" and the handwritten inscription "Propriété de l'auteur." the name that follows is unfortunately illegible. The author appears to have been a French priest appending the suffix "ptre" here and also to the printed name "Jean" which closes the facsimile manuscript. Presumably multiple copies would have been printed but no others have been located. This copy came from the famous eccentrica and erotica collection of Gershon Legman. c. 1809-1820]. 8vo hardcover books
