In 4° (23,5x16.5 cm); (8 compresa antiporta con ritratto a piena pagina del Conte Camillo Silvestri), 144, (8) pp. Legatura in piena pergamena con titolo manoscritto da elegante mano coeva al dorso (una piccola mancanza della pergamena all'angolo interno alto del piatto anteriore). Esemplare all'interno in ottime condizioni di conservazione. Prima ed unica rara edizione di questa biografia scritta dal letterato vicentino Michelangelo Zorzi, dedicata al celebre giurista, letterato, Socio dell'Accademia degli Incogniti, fra i più importanti personaggi di Rovigo del suo tempo, il Conte Camillo Silvestri (Padova 14 giugno 1645 – Rovigo 6 gennaio 1719) che fu anche uno dei più grandi esperti d'antiquariato del suo tempo. Silvestri si laureò a Padova in diritto civile e canonico il 6 marzo 1663. Il 15 dicembre 1672 fu inserito all'interno del Magnifico Consiglio rodigino e venne eletto regolatore per diversi anni di seguito. Ma le sue cariche pubbliche furono innumerevoli: presidente del consorzio di Campagna Vecchia, Sovrintendente a molti luoghi pii, Provveditore alle Vettovaglie; Revisore dell’estimo del territorio di Rovigo e Ambasciatore presso il doge e il Senato veneto. Fu proprio la Repubblica di Venezia a concedere a lui ed ai suoi discendenti il titolo di Conte e l'esenzione dai tributi feudali (questo anche per onorare due dei suoi figli morti in una battaglia navale contro i turchi nell'Egeo). Nel campo della cultura, importantissimo fu il suo contributo alla formazione e Museum Silvestrianum Rhodiginummiglioramento della collezione antiquaria del Museo di Rovigo dove confluì il suo celebre “Museum Silvestrianum Rhodiginum”. Silvestri è anche ritenuto un anticipatore della topografia storica moderna. Prima ed unica rara edizione in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Rif. Bibl.: IT\ICCU\NAPE\010747.

8vo., First Edition, some very minor spotting (mainly marginal); original grey-blue boards, vellum back, paper label lettered in manuscript (a little chipped and faded), uncut, a remarkably crisp, clean copy. A SIGNED PRESENTATION COPY FROM THE AUTHOR TO JOSEPH STORRS, WITH THE FORMER'S HOLOGRAPH INSCRIPTION ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER. With 2pp of publisher's advertisments of other works (including the revised edition of Hoyland's 'Epitome of the History of the World') bound in at end. John Hoyland (1750-1831), Quaker, writer on gipsies and author of other works, wrote this seminal study as a result of 'observing the very destitute and abject condition of the Gipsy race in the counties of Northampton, Bedford and Hertford'. The work is based on that of Grellman. For further details on Hoyland, his temporary disassociation with Quaker society (due apparently to his romantic entanglement with a gipsy girl) and his involvement with gipsies in general, see DNB. PRESENTATION COPIES FROM HOYLAND ARE RARE. A SPLENDID COPY IN CONTEMPORARY BINDING OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT AND INFLUENTIAL WORKS ON GIPSIES EVER WRITTEN.

DE HAVILLAND WITH HIS SIGNED AND DATED HOLOGRAPH INSCRIPTION ON FRONT FREE ENDPAPER VERSO. Reginald Saumarez de Havilland ('Havvy'), Assistant Master at Eton, played a fundamental role in the development of the school's boating prowess. In 1892 he succeeded Donaldson as coach of the famous 'Eton Eight' and in the following year replaced the Eight's previously characteristic short, sharp stoke with a much longer draw on a sliding seat. He presented his ideas (and much else) n the standard work 'Elements of Rowing' (Eton, 1913). Lyte's standard history was first published in 1875 and successively updated and re-issued in 1889 and 1899. A magnificent copy in virtually fine state.

The present work is the first volume, complete in itself, of Miscellaneous Papers on Scientific Subjects. Initially published as a single-volume work, it was so well received that the project consequently progressed to a 3-volume series (1837-68). Thomas Seymour Burt (1805-1890), Captain in the Bengal Engineers, Major of Engineers in the Spanish Service, was a dedicated explorer and a prolific writer. Among his books are Narrative of a Late Steam Voyage from England to India (1840); Account of an Excursion in Search of Ancient Inscriptions (1847); A Metrical Epitome of the History of England (1852); Poems Consisting of Tales from the Classics (1853); Account of a Voyage to India, via the Mediterranean (1859); The History of England, from the Earliest Records (1886).

First Edition, 4to (260 x 205 mm), [2], 72pp., large paper copy, with an additional portrait of the author engraved by John Collyers, title-page printed in red and black, added engraved title depicting Neptune with trident framed by scenes of the celebrations, large folding engraved plan of the table layout along the quay, one further engraved plate, contemporary crimson morocco-backed boards, original pink printed label on upper cover, spine rubbed and joints cracked. A festival to celebrate the fall of Napoleon I, April 1814. a vivid account of the 'grand festival' in Great Yarmouth was written by Robert Cory, a local businessman and the builder of a suspension bridge across the River Yare which collapsed in 1845 with considerable loss of life. Inclusively was again the order of the day, and on a larger scale than at Cambridge: over 9,000 people were fed at fifty-eight tables stretched along the waterfront. An afternoon of feasting, donkey-racing and a 'pig hunt' culminated in the burning of a vast, symbolic bonfire representing the 'Funeral Pile of the Buonapartean Dynasty'. Despite concerns prompted by the participation of 'the lowest order of society', everything passed off peacefully. Even the weather obliged: the drizzle stopped five minutes before dinner was served.
