Title page shaved at foot without loss leaf A4 shaved at foot with loss of catchword scattered spotting. The sole edition of a detailed account of the 'gross abuses' meted out to Quakers in Newgate Gaol Bristol by Isaac Dennis his Wife and Servants and the Cruelty they acted toward these poor Men in the west-house'. Quaker persecution in Bristol as with elsewhere in England continued in the decades after the Restoration with legislation such as the Conventicle Act designed to supress nonconformist worship and reimpose Anglican uniformity. But the election of the high Tory John Knight d. 1718 as Sheriff in September 1681 led to a significant increase in the number of Quakers imprisoned there. The persecution that the Friends received in gaol which are fully evidenced and witnessed in this tract included denying visits the confiscation of worked goods brutal treatment and graphic threats of death and violence.

A fair copy. Newton published this edited and revised edition of the German Bernhardus Varenius' 1622-1650 textbook on the mathematics of geography and navigation for his students at Cambridge in 1672 making this Newton's first publication mere months before the publication of the Opticks. While the English editions were much reprinted in Cambridge and then London this first German edition is scarce outside of continental Europe. Published while Newton was Luasian Professor of Mathematics of Cambridge 1669-1702 Newton's version became the standard text on the subject for over a century. This edition reproduces Newton's Latin text with copies of the plates seen in the earlier Elsevier edition of 1650. While Newton's works were read and received within Germany from their first publication this is the first of his works published in Germany. USTC 2647283. VD17 39:115486D.

T." is the publisher Thomas Thorpe however the identity of the dedicatee W. H. has been the matter of widespread and often bitter dispute and is considered to be one of the most elusive figures in literary history.<br /> <br /> With striking images illustrating the following Sonnets by Shakespeare:<br /> <br /> Sonnet 7 traces the path of the sun across the sky; Sonnet 12 the poet realizes that the young man's beauty will be destroyed by Time; Sonnet 27 the poet laments that the night which should be a time of rest is instead a time of continuing labor as in his imagination he wrestles to reach his beloved; Sonnet 34 the sun is overtaken by clouds and the sun/beloved is accused of having betrayed the poet by promising what is not delivered; Sonnet 53 the poet praises the beloved as not only the essence of beauty but also as the epitome of constancy; Sonnet 66 the poet gives examples of the societal wrongs that have driven him to become weary of life and long to die except that he would thereby desert the beloved; Sonnet 97 the poet remembers his separation from his beloved as a period as bleak as winter; Sonnet 116 the poet meditates on what he views as the truest and strongest form of love that between minds; Sonnet 123 the poet muses that there is nothing new under the sun; Sonnet 127 the poet defends his love of a mistress who does not fit the standard conventional definition of beauty; Sonnet 144 reflects an allegory of a person tempted by a good and a bad angel.<br /> <br /> Missing Sonnet 106 . Eleven powerful images by Isaac Friedlander.<br /> <br /> Prolific etcher and wood engraver Isaac Friedlander 1890-1968 was born in Mitau Latvia. Friedlander a fervent opponent of Czarist rule was sentenced to death at the age of 16- a fate he managed to narrowly escape. He moved to Italy in 1912 where he befriended Russian artist Maxim Gorky. During this time he studied etching drawing and relief printing at the Academy of Rome. He emigrated to the United States in 1929 eventually settling in New York where he worked as a full-time artist until his death. His work often emphasizes his native Riga the urban drama of Depression-era New York and the horror of the Holocaust. Friedlander's works are represented in numerous museums including the Smithsonian Bibliotheque Nationale and the Brooklyn Museum. No printer unknown

1791007574London: S. W. Fores 1791. First Edition. 18th Century broadside of song lyrics and hand-colored etching of foxhunting scene. Uncommon in physical form. Dibdin 1745-1814 was a singer-songwriter nearly two centuries prior to the elevation of that combination. There were always composers who publicly performed their own music of course. He was more versatile than that though. He also wrote operas novels and plays. He collaborated with legendary theater manager David Garrick and served for a time as the Music Director at Covent Garden. The "Oddities" for which this song was written was performed in 1789. Visible part of broadside under glass and matting 36 by 24 cm. With wood frame and matting 50 by 36.5 cm. The frame is of a burled cherry we believe the matting green with a thin white beveling and we believe most would find the framing attractive and worth retaining. S. W. Fores unknown

All 90 games annotated with an index of openings.</p><p>In 1963 famous cellist Gregor Piatigorsky and his wife Jaqueline gave a cup through the Piatigorsky Foundation for a chess tournament that would include two grandmasters from the USSR and two grandmasters from the USA. Four grandmasters from other countries filled out the playing list. The final player line-up consisted of Tigran Petrosian Paul Keres Samuel Reshevsky Pal Benko Fridrik Olafsson Svetozar Gligoric Oscar Panno and Miguel Najdorf. The tournament ran from the 2nd of July to the 30th of July 1963 in Los Angeles USA. The players met in a double round all-play-all and the joint winners Petrosian and Keres returned to the Soviet Union with more than half of the $10000 prize fund offered by the Piatigorsky Foundation. After the New York 1927 event this tournament was the strongest until such time to be held in the USA.</p><p>After the success of the First Piatigorsky Cup 1963 the second was organized by Gregor and Jacqueline Piatigorsky in Santa Monica California from July 17-August 15 1966 with Isaac Kashdan directing. The stellar field included the current and next two World Champions plus a slew of Candidates-level grandmasters in a double-round robin event: Jan Hein Donner Robert James Fischer Borislav Ivkov Bent Larsen Miguel Najdorf Tigran Vartanovich Petrosian Lajos Portisch Samuel Reshevsky Boris Spassky Wolfgang Unzicker. The Piatigorskys invited both Reshevsky and Fischer in spite of the Fischer - Reshevsky 1961 match fiasco. Spassky played steadily and was at or near the lead most of the way unsheathing his claws when the time was right. Larsen gave him some competition for a while even taking the lead in Round 10 but three losses in a row the last being to Spassky put an end to his challenge. But it was Fischer who captured everybody's attention and made this into a "Tale of Two Tournaments". In the first half a three-game losing streak the last being to Spassky left him in ninth place at the halfway mark 2.5 points behind Spassky. Nothing daunted he won his first four games in the second go-around and caught Spassky by round 16. Their draw in round 17 didn't change anything but the last round saw Fischer with Black against Petrosian while Spassky had White against tail-ender Donner. Petrosian had been having a lousy tournament his two losses to Larsen both being of the immortal variety. In final round he hunkered down and secured a draw with Fischer while Spassky demolished Donner to take first place. In fact Petrosian's even score made him the first world champion since Alekhine to achieve "only" an even score in a tournament.</p><p>The World Chess Hall of Fame produced an exhibition of Jacqueline Piatigorsky from October 25 2013 through April 18 2014 of which the pamphlet corresponded to the event.</p><p><strong>Condition: </strong>Both volumes inscribed on front end paper or half title to Michael Jeffrerys with photograph of him and her over the chess board tipped to half title of volume one else near fine.</p> Ward Richie Press and World Chess Hall of Fame hardcover
