186443586West Chester: Republican & Democrat Printer 1864. 1864. First edition. 8vo. 21 x 14 cm 8 1/4" x 5 1/2" original sewn wrappers contemporary marbled color wrappers 8 pp. Accompanied by a 30.5 x 24 cm 12" x 9 1/2" engraved broadside of four mounted riders chasing a horse thief and the front rider calling "Stop Thief." The engraving is signed Reuben S. Gilbert who was an active wood engraver and illustrator in mid-19th century Pennsylvania. Throughout the country in the mid 19th century a number of vigilance associations were formed primarily for the apprehension of horse thieves and other stolen property. The New Red Lion Vigilance Association was one of the associations which originated from Red Lion Pennsylvania into towns of eastern Pennsylvania Maryland and Delaware. Apparently these vigilance associations achieved great success in the recovery of property and the apprehension of thieves. The 8 page section of the association's by-laws contains six articles and each broken down further to sections plus a sheet with the names of all 41 members of the association. The By-Laws state " Believing that an advantage would accrue if citizens who reside in the neighborhoods contiguous to each other would organize themselves into a body for the purpose of using individual exertion for the recovery of stolen property and detection of thieves that they may be brought to condign punishment in conformity to the penal laws of the State we the subscribers do therefore agree to form ourselves into an association for the aforesaid purposes to be known by the name of the NEW RED LION ASSOCIATION for the detection of thieves and recovery of stolen property and have for the government thereof adopted the following By-Laws." Article III of the By-Laws states; "Sec. 1. For the purpose of securing as much dispatch as possible in event of property being stolen there shall be nine routes of pursuit passing through and beyond the following points; -- Philadelphia Norristown Middletown Reading Lancaster Penn Hill Brick Meeting House in Maryland; Wilmington and Old Chester on which the members shall be distributed in as equal numbers as possible and be required to ride each on his respective route whenever notified." Article III further states in Sec 2. "If any member of the Association shall have a horse mare or gelding stolen ot unlawfully taken away he shall immediately notify sixteen members thereof who shall reside most convenient to him and furnish each of them with an exact description of the horse mare or gelding so stolen or unlawfully taken away as is capable of upon which notification and information they the said members thus applied to shall set out and ride two and two together at least fifty miles on their respective routes in which distance if they receive no intelligence of the thief or thieves nor the creature stolen they may return home; but if they receive any information which induces a belief that they are on the right track they shall pursue on while there is any reasonable probability of overtaking the thief or thieves; and every member so pursuing shall keep a regular account of his route and expenses which he shall submit to the Board of Direction for their inspection; and if a majority thereof shall approve the same they shall direct the treasurer to discharge it." Both the By-Laws and the broadside are in near fine condition. This set is very scarce with OCLC listing a copy of the broadside and wrappers at the Hagley Museum.

1894519193B.T. Batsford London 1894. 1st Edition. Unframed Photograph Print. Very Good Condition. Trinity College's fountain built 1601-02 and rebuilt in 1716 marks the centre of Great Court—the largest enclosed court in Europe. Charles Latham was one of the most influential architectural photographers of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods renowned for his evocative images of country houses and formal gardens across Britain and Italy. His work helped define the visual language of architectural publishing and preservation. His first major commission was for J. Alfred Gotch's Architecture of the Renaissance in England 1894 from which this photograph is taken where his collotype plates captured the texture and grandeur of Elizabethan and Jacobean houses with remarkable clarity. Latham later helped shape the visual identity of Country Life magazine which we always have in stock photographing both historic estates and newly built homes. His images became central to the magazine's appeal combining editorial elegance with technical innovation in print reproduction. Each of Charles Latham's architectural photographs captures a singular moment of craftsmanship patronage or domestic ambition from heraldic chimney-pieces to formal garden fronts. Whether collegiate civic or aristocratic these buildings speak to the stylistic confidence of their age. Many remain inhabited studied or preserved today making each image not just a historical record but a quietly resonant portrait of continuity. Published in 1894 this fine Victorian-period image has been carefully removed from Gotch's monumental work. Printed in Leipzig Germany by Sinsel & Co. on thick cream-coloured paper this image reflects the firm's hallmark clarity and tonal depth featuring the building's name in sepia ink below a ruled border with Latham's beautifully composed black-and-white photograph taking centre place.

188243592London: RTS 1882. 4to. 27.5cm viii224p. with 93 engraved plates & illustrations large folding colour frontis map In publisher's fine binding: see provenance below. In full levant blue morocco gilt decorated raised bands gilt panel border and centre decorations gilt spine title elaborated gilt border decorations on the boards in outside gilt and blind ruled borders bevelled boards wide gilt decorated inner dentelles all edges gilt a fine bright copy rare in this binding. ~ ~ ~ Provenance: I purchased this book from colleague David Mason David Mason Books at the Ottawa Antiquarian Book Fair in 1991. David had never seen a copy in this binding. He had purchased this copy previously from Helen Kahn Rare Books of Montreal. Helen remembered having one other copy in the identical binding but in red morocco. The fact that there were two copies bound exactly the same indicates the high probability that they were done by the Publisher in London. The other possibility is that they were ordered by Lord Lorne for presentation but in that event one would expect presentation notation. My understanding at the time is that both copies were in new condition. <br /> ~ ~ ~ Lord Lorne the Duke of Argyll presented his "pen and pencil" pictures not as a chronological account of his Canadian travels but as a collection of impressions moving from Bay of Fundy to Vancouver. Lorne was Governor General of Canada 1878-83 and presents this publication in an elegant format lavishly enriched by Whymper's engravings from his sketches including some native people scenes and those of Sidney Hall and others and from photographs by Notman. - Waterston p163.
