[Finger Ring Jewellery Design History ] - Beck, Reverend JamesBiblio.com

A Manuscript Study on the History of Finger Rings / Finger Ring Jewellery Design written and researched by a scholarly Victorian clergyman in Suffolk.

187231740AB1872. Suffolk c.1872. 69 11 pages. Hardcover / Half Morocco with gilt lettering to spine. Very good condition. This unpublished Manuscript of an unfinished Work on the History of Finger - Rings by Reverend James Beck includes for example the following chapters: - History of Finger Rings Eqyptians as true inventors of the Finger Ring "according to Pliny the Greeks could not have known of them at the time of the Trojan Wars as no mention of them is made by Homer" - Beck dissects the meaning of Rings on certain fingers and explains why the "Ring Finger" was chosen as such: "By some this finger is called the digitus medicus or medicinalis but its more correct name is annularis Digitus anularis today known as Ring Finger" ".it was selected as annular finger because it was less employed than any of the others & it was protected by the middle & little finger hence as Atteus Capito says it was better suited for preserving a Ring. Aulus Gellius mentions that the anatomists had discovered a vein which extended from the Heart to the fourth finger of the left hand & that on this account it was selected as the ring finger." The Manuscript makes further cases for Rings worn on the other fingers on the hand. Includes sections on: - Signet Rings / Signet Rings with Crystals and Enamels / Rebus / Letters and Coronets / Signet Heraldic - Rings with angraved Cameos - Sergeant at Law - Rings The manuscript includes a larger section on Rings for Serjeants at Law - Rings of Investiture / Rings for Poet Laureates - Xtian Rings Christian Rings / Iconographic Rings - Rings for Prelates - Doctors of Divinity - Canons & Priests - Rings for Consegrated Virgins / Rings used as Reliquaries "The custom of putting Relics with Rings" - Rings as Gifts at Marriage of Servants / Ring Money - Ad Memoriam Ring etc. etc. - Finger Rings as Charms against Diseases "annali virtuosi" Beck lists here a story of a Charm - Ring against Epilepsy which was found at Kemp Weston in Somerset - Finger Rings as Talisman "Crapaudine - Talismanie" - Rings with merchant Marks Attractive quarto bound in half deep red morocco over cloth covered boards with gilt lettering. Blue endpapers and paper stock throughout; circular stamp of Assay Office Library Birmingham on flyleaf. A sequence of pasted letters about 10 pages in all precede the manuscript starting with a letter to Beck from Thomas Clifford Allbutt inventor of the Clinical Thermometer and co-founder with Sir William Osler of the History of Medicine Society from the Royal Archaeological Institute about works held in their library on finger rings; a book order form from W H Smith; and a brief note from the former Bishop of Glasgow Walter Trower. Becks manuscript has a typed title page and is dated circa 1872. His history of rings runs to 69 pages with an additional 11 pages of notes laid down on the blue paper stock. Beck proceeds from the ancient Egyptians through the classical world occasionally adding illustrations dealing with signet rings and rings of office such as the Serjeant of Law as well as the ring of the poets laureate. The final notes become increasingly fragmentary at the end. James Beck 1819/20-1886 was educated at Corpus Christi College Cambridge serving as Rector of Parham Sussex and subsequently of Bildeston Suffolk; in 1867 he married Caroline Jeannette Bignell Walter. This volumes has the feeling of a family memento probably bound up after Becks death to preserve his hard work on this fascinating subject. Source of Description: Dr.Christian White. hardcover

[Adelaide Railway Station]Biblio.com

A collection of nine vintage photographs showing the construction of the Adelaide Railway Station between 1926 and 1928

146428Very Good. Nine vintage gelatin silver prints eight approximately 220 × 285 mm one 138 × 206 mm all but two captioned or dated on the verso. Some prints with some residue on the verso from previous mounting; two with drawing pin-holes in some corners one of them with slight surface loss near a bottom corner the other with slight loss to a top corner; some with trifling chips or creases at the extremities; overall in excellent condition. The earliest image dated June 1926 shows the site on North Terrace before the commencement of construction; two show the station platforms in October 1926 and March 1927; two show the railway yards at the approach to the station one before construction one in December 1927; and four show the progressive construction of the western southern and eastern frontages of the station dated between April 1927 and March 1928. An interesting observation by Paul McGuire appeared in 'The New Triad' Volume 2 Number 7 1 July 1928: 'The Railway Department also has been showing its superiority to mere prettiness too. A magnificent station is nearing completion and the Assembly hall has already revealed itself as a splendidly conceived piece far superior to anything of its kind in Australia. The walls are scarcely finished and they are already blotted with posters dodgers and various advertising signs. The architects themselves have protested but in this case too we will be pleasureably sic surprised if the official mind sees beyond its balance sheets'. We have not identified the photographer or traced these particular images in institutional collections or elsewhere but they have the appearance of official photographs by a professional. 9 items. unknown

[FISHER, James Hurtle]Biblio.com

A Cabinet of Portraits consisting of Distinguished Characters British and Foreign: accompanied with a Brief Memoir of each Person

182580009London: William Darton 1825. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. London William Darton circa 1825. Octavo xii 64 pages plus 64 engraved portraits with tissue-guards. Early gilt-decorated half calf and marbled papered boards a little rubbed and bumped at the extremities; corners and the rear leading edge a little worn; 'Vol III' label missing from the spine; occasional scattered foxing and offsetting; a very good copy. Provenance: James Hurtle Fisher with his armorial bookplate on the pastedown and his signature in ink at the head of the engraved title page. Sir James Hurtle Fisher 1790-1875 'was one of the most important pioneers of South Australia' 'Australian Dictionary of Biography'. He commenced practice as a solicitor in London in 1816 and 'was drawn into the colonizing movement in 1835. He was selected as resident commissioner one of the most important offices under the South Australian Act . second only to the governor'. Fisher 'left England in July 1836 with the governor's party in the "Buffalo" arriving on 28 December 1836 at Holdfast Bay where the official oaths were administered a proclamation was read and a ceremony marked the beginning of settlement. In January 1837 Fisher erected his reed hut and Land Office near the survey camp of Colonel William Light at the north-western corner of the new capital site; the destruction of these temporary buildings by fire on 23 January 1839 caused both men serious loss. Fisher had been allowed to draft his own instructions which were not shown to Governor Sir John Hindmarsh. Disputes between the two men over their respective powers had begun on the voyage and were soon revived in the new Council of Government and more violently outside and led in February 1837 to the Resident Magistrate's Court binding the participants over to keep the peace towards each other. The new governor George Gawler was appointed both governor and resident commissioner a radical departure from the principles on which the colony had been founded'. Fisher returned to his profession and became a leader of the South Australian Bar. In October 1840 he was elected first mayor of Adelaide; in 1860 he became the first resident South Australian to be knighted. The destructive fire referred to above is described in detail in the biography of Light Dutton and Elder 1991. Light was living 'in the wood and reed surveyor's hut alongside Fisher's equally combustible house in the parklands on North Terrace. In his own account ". we discovered Fisher's house to be on fire. At the same time the breeze freshening up the destruction to both houses became inevitable. In less than ten minutes both houses were burnt to the ground mine catching fire at the roof by a lighted piece from Fisher's. We saved nothing of value"'. Accordingly personal mementoes such as this presumably brought by Fisher to South Australia on the 'Buffalo' must be of the utmost rarity. William Darton hardcover

御布令之譯. Ofure no ke. Illustrated Interpretations of 70 Types of Small Civil Crimes.

1876164297Osaka.: Manabe Busuke. 真部武助. Meiji 9 1876. Black and white woodblock print on Japanese washi paper 4 small text sheets pasted on two panels and lower margin for revisions and addendum 38 x 68cm This interesting kawaraban which was published in Osaka in 1876 details over 70 types of small crimes with charming little black and white illustrations. It was published in order to explain the newly introduced civil law at the beginning of Meiji period to the Japanese public. The crimes are generally called "Ishiki Kaii Zaimoku" Different Style Crimes. A number of the crimes depicted in the notice concern the relationships with foreigners such as sharing accommodation with offering lodging to foreigners without permission or boarding a foreign boat without a boarding certificate. Some regulations are also focused on stamping out forms of behaviour which were likely to be regarded as shocking or uncivilized by foreigners - including prohibitions on running public baths with mixed bathing punishments for the sales of erotic prints shunga and a prohibion probably unenforceable on urinating in the street. Other types of crimes relate to public safety and disturbance such as shooting arrows on the street or playing music instruments after midnight selling blowfish fugu - prohibited because of the risk of poisoning and keeping pigs in your house in built-up areas. The life of urban areas in the 1870s is captured in regulations that prohibit behaviour such as extinguishing street lights or carrying uncovered buckets of human waste outside the prescribed hours. The four articles which specify the punishments for those crimes are also noted and they include incarceration or a penalty as well as reporting that there is some possibility of exemption under mitigating circumstances. Five small tipped in sheets provide information about additional regulations promulgated after the original sheet was published. As Japan became a modern nation and introduced a new legal system the public needed to learn the content as well as their context of small crimes and their punishments. This illustrated notice explains in detail what not to do in a newly modernised society and the consequences in case of a breach of the rules. . [Manabe Busuke]. 真部武助 unknown
