181765412mo paginated 225-252. Extracted from volume XI of 'The Pamphleteer' London: A. J. Valpy Tooke's Court Chancery Lane. 1818 1817. Text is clear and complete. On lightly-aged paper. Title page reads: 'An Address to the Guardian Society. London. 1817. No. XXI. Pam. Vol. XI. P'. The following gives an impression of the sceptical tone in which this pamphlet is written. 'Your Society is declared to be "for the preservation of public morals" a most praise-worthy and highly commendable institution. But how do you propose to preserve the public morals Why by "providing temporary asylums for prostitutes removed by the operation of the laws from the public streets and affording to such of them as are destitute employment and relief." This may be very well so far as it goes; but it is certainly going a very short way towards the preservation of public morals.' Both this reprint from Valpy's magazine 'The Pamphleteer' and the original are scarce with the only copies of either on COPAC at the British Library Cambridge and LSE. A. J. Valpy, Tooke's Court paperback

1844ABC_47845Leiden & Düsseldorf: Arnz & Comp. 1844. Expertly bound in contemporary gold-tooled half red morocco and red cloth over boards. Folio ca. 51 x 70 cm. With a tinted lithographed title-page mounted on India paper incorporating 11 vignettes illustrative of falconry by and after J. B. Sonderland. Further with 14 hand-coloured lithographed plates of falcons and falconry accoutrements and 2 tinted lithographed plates mounted on India paper of heron hawking. The illustrations are executed by Wendel J. Dillmann Portman and von Wouw after J.B. Sonderland J. Wolf C. Scheuren or G. Saal and Portman and von Wouw. Two parts in one volume. First edition of "the finest work on falconry which has ever been produced; not only on account of the beauty of the plates wherein the hawks are depicted life-size and of the natural colours but also for the general accuracy of the letterpress" Harting. The very beautiful plates include ten after Joseph Wolf which "are by far the finest ever produced in any book on falconry. It is impossible to describe the mellowness and beauty of the colourings" Schwerdt.Wolf is described by Jackson as an "artist who ranks among the world's finest animal painters" and the present images were largely responsible for launching his international career. "Wolf's success lay in his sketching from life after painstaking study of the anatomy of the animals and his care to get the structure correct and then paint fur and feather with extraordinary fidelity. But all the marvelous technique and deep knowledge was subservient to his ability to capture a moment in the life of his subject and preserve it in paint. Archibald Thorburn said of Wolf's pictures 'There is an indescribable feeling of life and movement attained by no other wildlife artist'" Jackson. Sir Edwin Landseer went further describing Wolf as "without exception the best all-round animal painter that ever lived".The letterpress text includes extensive sections on the terms used in falconry on the equipment used descriptions of the birds that were currently being flown and those that were not used. The text continues with recommended methods of catching or taking a suitable bird how this bird should be treated and how it should be trained and then how it should be flown. This is followed by a lengthy historical survey of falconry in Europe Africa Russia Asia and the Americas. The text finishes with a six-page bibliography of works on falconry and an explanation of the plates. According to the exhibition catalogue documenting the falconry books in the Dutch Royal Library The Hague 1993 probably no more than 100 copies were printed of which no more than 50 can be located today.A very good complete copy.l Cottrell 24; Fine Bird Books 1990 p. 138; Harting 194; Jackson Dictionary of Bird Artists of the World p. 496; Landwehr 174; Nissen IVB 832; Schwerdt II 150; Thiébaud 833; Zimmer 554.

1844ABC_45290Leiden & Düsseldorf 1844. Elephant folio 55.5 × 73.5 cm. Arnz & Co. Stored loosely in the original publishers cloth-backed printed boards. Tinted lithographed title-page with a pictorial border comprising 11 scenes of hawking by J. B. Sonderland 2 hand-coloured lithographed plates of falconry equipment by Portman and Von Wouw and 10 of 12 hand-coloured lithographed plates of hawks by Wendel after Joseph Wolf 8 mounted on paperboard. 4 90 VI 2 pp. First and only edition of a superb work the finest work on falconry that has ever been produced both on account of the beauty of the plates and general accuracy of the text. The lifesize illustrations of the birds are by far the finest ever produced in any book on falconry. It is impossible to describe the mellowness and beauty of the colourings Schwerdt. This famous book on falconry by H. Schlegel and A.H. Verster van Wulverhorst is known chiefly for its lifesize coloured illustrations of birds of prey lithographs after watercolours by Josef Wolf. The extensive research in the literature and the description of procedures by two laymen in the field of falconry still cause amazement among falconers.The work contains 17 illustrations: successively the tinted title-page two coloured plates with hunting gear and falconer's equipment two tinted plates of pictures of the activities of the Loo Hawking Club not present and 12 coloured plates with images of birds of prey in their natural surroundings.The last twelve plates show magnificent figures of hawks. Perhaps the most famous is that of the Groenlandais or white gyrfalcon which Tuijn shows to have been based on a portrait of the bird by Pierre Louis Dubourcq 1815-73. The other plates are from originals by Josef Wolf 1820-99 the German artist who ranks among the world's finest animal painters Jackson.Covers of portfolio somewhat rubbed and stained; spine cloth and extremeties professionally restored. Some foxing and browning in the plates; several marginal tears and chips professionally repaired; rebacked. Lacks 2 lithographed hawking scenes by J. Dillmann after Sonderland.

182784953London: by the author and sold by all booksellers 1827. Shakespeare's portraits First edition published three years after James Boaden's work on the same subject. Wivell had risen from impoverished beginnings and an apprenticeship to a wigmaker and hairdresser before reaching public notice as an artist with portraits of the Cato Street conspirators awaiting trial. This led to a commission to draw portraits of the participants in the "trial" of Queen Caroline in the House of Lords thence to abundant portrait commissions from the royal family the aristocracy and leading theatrical figures. This publication however brought his prosperity to a sudden end as its sales failed to cover the expense of producing the plates reducing Wivell "from affluence to comparative poverty" Art Journal 206. He was rescued by an uncle's legacy and his own ingenuity subsequently inventing a rope fire escape that was credited with saving hundreds of lives. Jaggard notes that the edition size was 500 copies of which 50 had plates on India paper and 25 were printed on large paper. Octavo 207 x 135 mm in 2 parts the supplement with separate title.

1861269911861. Leiden und Leipzig Harzenberg und F.A.Brockhaus 1861 Folio VI pp. 1 Bl. 68 pp. 1 gef. Tab. 7 getönte lith. Tafeln Halbleinenband mit Rückentitel und Buntpapierbezug; minimal fleckig. Erste Ausgabe! "Im Jahre 1849 traf ich zum ersten Male ein schräg verengtes Becken in meiner Praxis an und konnte die Diagnose mit hinlänglicher Sicherheit feststellen und mein therapeutisches Verfahren darnach einrichten. Bei vier schnell auf einander folgenden Schwangerschaften war ich so glücklich die Frau durch das Einleiten der künstlichen Frühgeburt am Leben zu erhalten und nachdem sie im Jahre 1853 diese Operation beharrlich abgelehnt hatte und bei der Geburt eines ausgetragenen Kindes an Zerreissung der Gebärmutter gestorben war kam ich in den Besitz des Beckens. Wenige Jahre später 1857 begegnete mir ein zweiter Fall dieser Art und zwar bei einer unverheirateten Erstgebährenden in meiner Klinischen Anstalt. Auch in diesem Fall konnte ich nur mit Sicherheit die Gestalt des Beckens diagnosticiren sondern es gelang mir auch ein richtiges Urtheil zu Fällen über die relative Weite des Beckens welches eines der kleinsten war die bis jetzt beschrieben worden sind. Das Kind wurde durch den Kaiserschnitt lebendig zur Welt gebracht die Mutter aber erlag der Operation bereits am zweiten Tage. Diese beiden Fälle erweckten in mir ein sehr lebhaftes Interesse für diese Art fehlerhaft gebildeter weiblicher Becken und bereits im Jahre 1857 fasste ich den Entschluss das schräg verengte Becken zum Gegenstand einer wissenschaftlichen Arbeit zu wählen welche geeignet wäre sich an die klassische Monographie Naegele's anzuschliessen eine Uebersicht dessen zu liefern was in den letzten 20 Jahren von verschiedenen Geburtshelfern und Pathologen darüber geschrieben worden ist und die Lehre des schräg verengten Beckens bis auf unsere Zeit fortzusetzen." Vorrede Abraham Everhard Simon Thomas 1820-1886 studierte in Leyden wo er 1845 promovierte. Er liess sich in Rotterdam nieder wurde jedoch nach Leyden als Professor der Geburtshilfe und Gynäkologie berufen. Hier fing er da die durch Du Pin früher für den geburtshilflichen Unterricht gestiftete Poliklinik ganz vernachlässigt war bald an eine geburtshilfliche Poliklinik zu eröffnen und hat dadurch das Material für den Unterricht speziell für den praktischen Teil so vergrössert dass es fast nie an Wöchnerinnen mangelt welche in ihrem eigenen Hause die nöthige Hilfe von den Studierenden empfangen eine Methode welche für die selbständige Entwicklung der Jüngeren selbstverständlich von grossem Einfluss war. Auch sein theoretischer Unterricht wurde von jedem seiner Schüler als vortrefflich gerühmt. Seine Monographie "Das schräg verengte Becken" gilt bei Sachverständigen für eine echt klassische Arbeit; sein Vorschlag beim verengten Becken nicht auf die Füße sondern auf die Knie zu wenden ist seit dem fast überall angenommen. -cf.

The Departure - Second Class" and "The Return - First Class" are a pair of moralistic narrative works a popular genre in Victorian times and demonstrate the growing trend towards emigration particularly to Australia.

Despite their discomfort this shows how the railways opened up travel to the less wealthy as well as those with money. It also shows how the industry allowed travel nationally and internationally with the posters in the background advertising passage to Australia highlighting the growing trend of emigration.

He led the United States through its Civil War and in doing so preserved the Union of the United States of America abolished slavery and strengthened the federal government. Lincoln began constructing his cabinet on election night and sought to create a cabinet that would unite the Republican party. His eventual cabinet would include his primary rivals for the Republican nomination and although his appointees held differing views on economic issues all were opposed to the expansion of slavery into the territories of the United States. The most senior cabinet post of Secretary of State was appointed to William Seward who had recently failed to win the 1860 Republican presidential nomination and Lincoln's choice for Secretary of the Treasury was Ohio Senator Salmon P. Chase Seward's primary political rival and the leader of a radical faction of the Republican party that sought the immediate abolition of slavery. George Stinson and Co., Publishers unknown

1872003726Privately printed. HAYWARD Abraham. Lady Palmerston. A Biographical Sketch. A signed presentation copy with autograph correspondence of Viscountess Palmerston and Lord Palmerston bound in. London reprinted by permission from The Times of September 15 1869; dated June 1872. Slim 8vo 21 pp. Contemporary full green morocco boards with dense gilt fillet borders and elaborate gilt corner and frame tooling upper cover lettered in gilt; spine gilt ruled. Rubbing to extremities minor wear at corners but a handsome and well-preserved presentation binding. Internally clean with manuscript material neatly bound in at the front. Very good. Presentation copy inscribed by the author to Alfred Montgomery with the inscription leaf bound in at the front: "Alfred Montgomery Esq. with best regards A.H." Bound in with the pamphlet are five autograph letters addressed to Alfred Montgomery: four from Emily Temple Viscountess Palmerston and one from Henry John Temple 3rd Viscount Palmerston dated 1856 and signed "Palmerston". The Palmerston letter was written during his first term as Prime Minister 1855-1858. The Lady Palmerston letters concern social arrangements and engagements. The pamphlet itself was privately issued marked "Not for Sale" and printed shortly after Lady Palmerston's death in 1869. Hayward's sketch is one of the earliest biographical appreciations of her role within Whig political and social life. Alfred Montgomery 1814-1896 was a senior Admiralty clerk private secretary to Lord Wellesley later Commissioner of Stamps and Taxes and of the Inland Revenue and a well-known Victorian society figure. According to contemporary accounts he was a well known dandy that had 'known domestic trouble and been rewarded by non-domestic success'. He was clearly closely associated with the Palmerstons and both wrote to him personally with the letters that have been bound in. A highly unusual Palmerston association volume most likely a commemorative memento put together by Montgomery. The result being a privately printed biographical text authorial presentation inscription and contemporary autograph correspondence of both Lady Palmerston and the Prime Minister himself preserved in a presentation binding. .
