179512064Dublin: John Gough 1795. Later printing. Leather bound. Good. Isaac Jackson's The True Reading Made Easy printed in Dublin by Quaker printer John Gough in 1795 an important work in establishing piracy laws in England. Sixteenmo 142 2 pp. Period leather binding double ruled line border blind stamped on covers. Corners and edges rubbed worn through in places. Spine worn cracked with partial separation at front and back joints some loss of leather at ends. Some soiling and dampstaining to covers. Despite issues binding is stable. Woodcut illustrations all pages present. Toning to text pages some dog-eared pages from handling corners torn on pages 65/66. No notations except for a gift inscription on the front pastedown. Additional title page precedes the 1795 title page with the imprint listed as Dublin Printed and Sold by and for Robert Jackson 1793. Robert Jackson was Isaac Jackson's son and he had printed an edition of this book prior to his death in 1793. OCLC locates only one copy of the 1793 edition in the British Library. No copies of this 1795 Gough edition located in OCLC or NUC. Even with its flaws this is a nice example of a scarce eighteenth century primer. Isaac Jackson 1705-1772 was a printer bookseller and typefounder. Before becoming a printer in 1737 Jackson was a Quaker schoolmaster. He compiled his first Reading Made Easy in the 1740s and after several pirated editions began to appear he revised this work in 1759. When Jackson died in 1772 his printing and bookselling business passed to his son Robert 1748-1793 who printed The True Reading Made Easy in 1793. Robert died this same year and the business passed to his sister Rachel 1755-1836. The following year Rachel decided to retire and chose John Gough as her successor. Gough carried a large selection of children's books in his shop and he too printed The True Reading Made Easy in 1795. Gough died in 1818. John Gough unknown

51-5611Philadelphia: Printed by Sherman & Co. for Rev. Abraham de Sola 5633 1872-73. Quarto. 22 x 28.5 x 2.5cm. 8 1011pp.Original gilt with cartouches on roan covers and the rubbed name of the original owner C. Macnec or Macneo or Macned. New goatskin spine label and endpapers by the artisan binder Sasha Mosalov.OCLC Number 1007213457Notes:Tables 4 p. with green and red borders for recording "Marriages Births Deaths Memoranda" at end.This is the first English translation of the Hebrew Bible produced and published in the United States. The translator Rabbi Isaac Leeser 1806–1868 was the head rabbi of the Synagogue Mikveh Israel in Philadelphia where he became America’s most prolific Jewish writer. He compiled a Hebrew reader and Jewish catechism and also edited The Occident the first Jewish periodical in America. Leeser’s translation of the Pentateuch was published at his own expense in 1845–1846 and the complete Bible was published for the first time in 1854. .Abraham de Sola 1825-1882 was a renowned rabbi scholar and lecturer whose popularity went far beyond the bounds of McGill or Montreal. Born in London to a prominent Sephardic Jewish family he gained recognition at a very young age for his writings on Eastern languages and literature as well as on Jewish history and scripture. In 1847 at only twenty-two years of age he moved to Canada to become the Rabbi of the Spanish and Portuguese Jewish Congregation of Montreal a community he continued to serve for thirty years. In 1853 McGill invited de Sola to become Professor of Hebrew and Oriental Literature and later also appointed him Lecturer in Spanish Literature. The great popularity of his lectures is perhaps best demonstrated by an extraordinary invitation in 1872: he traveled to Washington D.C. to deliver the prayer which opened that year’s session of the United States Congress. He was the first non-Christian theologian to perform this ceremony and his speech was very well received. Philadelphia: Printed by Sherman & Co. for Rev. Abraham de Sola, 5633 [1872-73] unknown

Title-page to first part in red and black to second part in black only woodcut initials and head- and tail-pieces with final errata leaf. Top corner of title-page a little frayed first leaf of text with 2-line note in blue biro to head margin head margins a bit dusty with very occasional light dampstains occasional spots of foxing a few paper flaws to fore-edge margins. Small scorch marks to pp.47-8 and pp.101-4 affecting a few letters smudgy mark ink or wax to fore-edge margin pp.115-22 ink spots to p.345. Contemporary semi-limp vellum fore-edges slightly overlapped. Quite browned covers somewhat creased ties lost turn-ins lifting without ffep but still good and sound overall. Latin inscription in an old hand to title-page translates roughly as 'from the common library of the preachers of Dijon'. First appearance of Casaubon's edition of this collection of biographies of the emperors from Hadrian to Carinus considered to be the first critical edition and also the first to use the title Historiæ Augustæ. The title as recorded on the 9th-century Codex Palatinus manuscript of the Vatican Library is Vitae Diversorum Principum et Tyrannorum a Divo Hadriano usque ad Numerianum Diversis compositae and it is generally thought that the work may have been originally known as de Vita Caesarum or Vitae Caesarum. In early editions 'the emphasis had been laid on the Latin text but in the seventeenth century the work of the editors included not only textual emendation but comment and illustration. Of these editions the first was that of Casaubon published in 1603. It was not unnatural that these biographies should have attracted the editor of Suetonius and Polybius and the scholar who wrote in the preface to his edition of the Historia Augusta that "political philosophy may be learned from history and ethical from biography."' from David Magie's introduction to his 1921 Loeb edition. Though its authenticity was regarded with a little scepticism Casaubon's edition was for hundreds of years used as a genuine source by historians including Edward Gibbon in the first volume of his Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. Browning sums up the tricky position the work occupies: "in modern times most scholars read the work as a piece of deliberate mystification written much later than its purported date however the fundamentalist view still has distinguished support. The Historia Augusta is also unfortunately the principal Latin source for a century of Roman history. The historian must make use of it but only with extreme circumspection and caution."

1812154499London: T. Egerton 1812. First published 1796 last revised by Landmann's son George in 1853 for the seventh edition. All editions of this groundbreaking work of military education are uncommon perhaps a couple of dozen locations world-wide for all just 8 for this inevitably uncommon at auction. Landmann 1741-1826 had taught for many years at the École Royale Militaire in Paris before his appointment in 1777 as professor of fortification and artillery at the Royal Military Academy: "A letter from the Board of Ordnance to the lieutenant-governor of the academy introduced him as a gentleman who 'has seen a great deal of service and acted as ADC to Marshal Broglie in the last war'. He was highly thought of and was a technical scholar who had great influence over the many young men he taught for a period of nearly thirty-eight years" ODNB. His clever adoption of the catechetical form to inculcate the basics of the complexities of fortification was ahead of its time and clearly effective. Octavo 210 x 130 mm. With 3 engraved plates at the rear. Contemporary full calf red morocco longitudinal label to spine. Bound with half-title. Slightly rubbed particularly at the extremities front joint cracked to the cords but holding front board a touch discoloured endpapers lightly tan-burned text mildly toned but overall a very good copy. unknown
