19864140Butter Field Books Old Isleworth Middlesex 1986. First Edition. Hardcover Original Cloth. As New/Near Fine. A description of the daily private life of a great Leader is valuable only to the degree that the eyewitness is both intimate and honest. There have been so many conflicting accounts of the life of Mary Baker Eddy accounts varying from the cloyingly adoring and suspect to the viciously hostile and demonstrably untrue that to come across an absolutely straightforward record of the last days of the great 'Revelator ' of Christian Science is a rewarding experience. In Adam Dickey we are fortunate in finding someone whose transparent sincerity and whose love for 'Mother' illuminates every page. Here is the ideal witness; his naiveté of approach his utter unawareness that he may be providing ammunition for the irreverent testify to his honesty. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xlvi 54.

RGW19251AAquatint and stipple partly printed and partly hand-coloured tear in top border just coming into engraved surface Sophia Western is the heroine in Fielding's novel 'Tom Jones'. Beneath the title is a four-line inscription ' Adorned with all the charms in which Nature can array her; bedecked with beauty youth sprightliness innocence modesty and tenderness breathing sweetness from her rosy lips and darting brightness from her sparkling eyes the lovely Sophia comes!' Here she is in a Regency dress rather than an early 18th century one. This print is sometimes known as the 'Skipping Girl': physical exercise has disturbed her bodice.

Dickson was born in 1721 at Aberlady and studied at Edinburgh University where he took the degree of M.A. He passed his life between his cherished country employments on a large farm of his father's where he lost no opportunity of gathering experience from the conversation of the neighbouring farmers and the duties of his holy office. Having early shown a great taste for agriculture he watched its processes carefully and made rapid progress in it as he always connected practice with theory. On moving to Dunse he found more real improvements in the art and also more difficulties to be surmounted than had been the case in East Lothian. Observing that English works on agriculture were ill adapted to the soil and climate of Scotland and consisted of theories rather than facts supported by experience he determined to compose a "Treatise on Agriculture" on a new plan. The first edition of this appeared in 1762 and was followed by a second in 1770. This treatise is practical and excellently adapted to the farming of Scotland its first four books treating of soils tillage and manures in general the other four of schemes of managing farms usual in Scotland at that time and suggestions for their improvement. "Probably the most important of the authors of the period". And fifty years later J.C. Loudon wrote "decidedly the best work on tillage which has appeared in the English language and was and still is held in universal esteem among the practical farmers of Scotland". New Edition.

Walker travelled through northern England southern Scotland spent four years in Ireland and settled in York.

In 1778-79 he gave a series of highly successful lectures in London which prompted him to set up home there in Hanover Square. From his London base Walker continued to travel and his lectures on mechanics were packed by artisans in northern towns.He was friendly with most of the eminent industrialists and scientists of the Lunar Society. He staged a highly successful performance of his new eidouranion in the Theatre Royal Haymarket which was accompanied by the music of the coelestina a mechanical harpiscord producing a continuous sound which had patented in 1772. His <i>Epitome of Astronomy</i> 1782 went through thirty editions. He visited Paris in 1785 toured Flanders Germany France and Italy in 1790 and published his views of French life.
