18542657London: Saunders and Otley 1854. First edition. First edition. Octavo. Original blue embossed cloth with gilt design on cover. A very scarce book cited in Quarterly Review: "The book called 'Morbiida'- and which needs no second title- is the production of one who has evidently received his inspiration at second hand. Unable to elaborate it for himself he freely dilutes some of the finest of English poetry." And then in the Eclectic Review "It is sickly and feeble. The author has evidently mistaken his vocation. He might make as times go a creditable man in various professions but Nature in endowing him with a polished mediocrity evidently intended him for anything rather than a poet.". 168 pages. <br/><br/> Saunders and Otley hardcover books
1859423474Salt Lake City 1859. Unbound. Near Fine. A hand-colored sixth plate ambrotype portrait of a young man wearing what appears to be a battle shirt identified on the verso of the plate and in pencil on the paper lining behind the image as "Leivingston Moore. Salt Lake" and dated April 22nd 1859. Slight tarnish along perimeter of image; some tarnish on mat; lacking half of the leather covered case.<br /> <br /> According to Census records Livingston Moore was born in 1840 in Jamestown Missouri lived in St. Louis and finally died in Moran Missouri in 1911. Likely a Mormon Livingston Moore lived most of his life in Missouri which had a large Mormon population until The Missouri Mormon War took place in 1838 and forced more than 10000 Mormons to leave the state. Many settled near or in the city of Nauvoo Illinois. Moore's census records do not indicate why he was in Salt Lake City in 1859 but it is possible that he was sent there as a member of the Nauvoo Legion a militia employed by LDS leaders for protection of the community. Between May 1857 and July 1858 a confrontation between the Mormon settlers in the Utah Territory and the U.S. Federal Government took place referred to as the Utah War. This armed dispute stemmed from an attempt by President James Buchanan's administration to replace Brigham Young as governor of Utah Territory. Although the conflict was over by April 1859 it is conceivable that Moore may have been stationed in Salt Lake in case any additional uprisings occurred against the Mormons. unknown

18800064001880-1917. Full Morocco. Very Good. Oblong 21 by 30 cm. 92 numbered leaves with content with log entries more or less statistical on all the versos and pictures and/or original drawings mostly mounted on 58 rectos with some additional loose material. 129 numbered leaves in all. Several of the log pages have mounted photos obscuring the log as it is clear that this game book was at some point re-purposed to be a more general album with some emphasis on sports including also fishing foxhunting and sailing but also there are two pages of photos from South Africa with photos of native tribesmen ostriches a hut Cecil Rhodes house etc. 13 original works of art -- watercolored pencil pen and ink -- in addition to numerous painted fish hook and fly vignettes these sometimes done directly onto the page. Most charming are the comical illustrations of anthropomorphic foxes. Sepia photos are of the country estates their stately homes and rural settings of the hunts as well as the people involved -- the hosts and guests during these country weekends. Many but by no means all of the photos have captions helpfully identifying the participants or the locations. And the log proper provides the names of those participating in the shooting and often what would now be regarded as obscenely large kills. Among the many aristocrats and wealthy in the photographs and/or logs are Lady Randolph Churchill Jennie Churchill Arthur Balfour Lady Minto Mary the famous 4th Countess Henry Lascelles the 5th Earl of Harewood the 5th Earl of Carnavon of King Tut fame as well as the owner of the castle used in Downton Abbey Baron Rothschild Lord de Grey Lord Ashburton Prince Murat the Duke of Buccleuch Prince Duleep de Singh Lord Rosebery and on and on. Country homes include Longleat Greystoke Castle the Hirsel Highcliffe Castle etc. Alexander McDonnell was a son of the 5th Earl of Antrim and a clerk in the House of Lords. Obviously he was very well connected and surely very popular among the upper echelons of English society back then. And we would note that many of the most illustriously titled have frequent entries here; what we have here is a window into a cohesive social network it is our sense. Condition: morocco binding has moderate to heavy wear along edges some scuffs on the boards and spine. The leaves can have a waviness the result of the interaction of the mounted material upon the leaves. A few photos are loose. There is a little bit of a scrappy quality to the book as befitting a log book that was partially turned into something much more and this quality is part of its charm as well. <br /><br /> books
