1823BIBLIO-16528Harding Mayor and Lepard London first edition 1823. Original boards with original paper cover-label rebacked in cloth small 8vo. 78 2 pp. From the introduction: "The following Journal of a celebrated siege on which the Novel of Peveril of the Peak has conferred additional interest differs materially from any accounts of it which have been previously given to the public. It appears from internal evidence to have been composed in the intervals of action and to have been completed before the spring of 1644 when Lathom which is described as entire in one of the concluding paragraphs was demolished: and the author was certainly an inmate of the mansion and a man acquainted with classical literature who retained the provincialisms of Lancashire but had formed a regular style by habits of composition. Within the narrow circle thus left for conjecture one literary character will be found Colonel Edward Chisenhall of Chisenhall author of "Catholike History;" but as the journalist mentions his known courage and mercy mingled with valour the reader must judge for himself whether these compliments are sufficient to overbalance all the other strong coincidences which point to this officer as the probable author. He must however remember that the work was written when the delicacy peculiar to modern days would operate with comparative weakness on the author of an anonymous narrative composed under circumstances of unusual excitement and possibly never intended for publication. The MS. from which the present little volume is printed forms part of a collection of tracts relating to the local struggles in Lancashire during the great civil war preserved in the library of a gentleman of that county by whom it was presented to the publishers." The journal has also been attributed to Edward Halsall. 1841 ownership inscription of Richard Smithson on front free endpaper which is somewhat creased covers rubbed contents lightly agetoned otherwise Good.

1880136848Douglas & Johnson St Victoria BC: R. Maynard Photographic Artist c1880. Undetermined. very good. Two 8 X 8 CM photographs affixed to 8.75 X 17.5 CM yellowish studio card with rounded corners. The sides of the front and the back of the card contain the photographers information. Slight wear to edges and a little soiling to card. Nice image with clear detailing part of the image is a little out of focus. Slight fading and only a little soiling. The side edges of the card curl upwards slightly. Pencil notation of title on rear on which some words are illegible as shown in title very good From the series 'Views of British Columbia and Vancouver Island for sale'. Richard and Hannah Maynard moved from Cornwall England to Canada in 1852. Richard had been an apprentice boot maker in England and upon arrival in Bowmanville he again set up a shop to do his trade. In 1858-59 and 1862 Richard left his family to prospect gold. During this time Hannah began studying photography. In 1862 the family moved to Victoria. After the move Richard went up the Stikine Rover placer mining while Hannah and the family remained in Victoria. It is believed that it is during this time that Hannah first opened 'Mrs. R. Maynard's Photographic Gallery'. Richard returned in 1863 to find her successfully entrenched in the business. Hannah taught Richard the photography skills she had learned. As it was somewhat usual for a woman to be a professional photographer during that time there is often confusion as to who actually took some of the photographs his name often being attributed to her work and vice versa. Richard pursued his photographic interest in the wilderness as well as opening a new boot shop in Victoria it was common at the time to be a professional photographer on the side of running another business. Hannah's main interest laid in the studio and the experimental possibilities of the camera. As Richard limited his photographs to the outdoors it is easy to tell the studio portraits are Hannah's. Richard took every opportunity to work outdoors; however sometimes Hannah went on his trips with him and also took photographs. Because of this overlap between the couples photographic subject matter in relation to landscapes it is difficult to ascertain who is responsible for the creation of many of these images. 1880 R. Maynard Photographic Artist unknown
