235 pages. Abundantly illustrated in black and white. "The fascination of sailing barges is not merely picturesque: the handling of the vessels, their function, development of design and the various subtle adaptations of hull and rig for different conditions, form an intricate story. The author's research has revealed much information not previously recorded, and this illuminating study will certainly find its way into the permanent bibliography of sail." - from dust jacket.

Manuscript note in volume one: "Bought at Poynder Sale. June 1855. Sotheby. Lot 67. 1L. This is probably John Poynder (1779-1849) - but his very valuable library was apparently sold by Sotheby in 1850. 'Barnabae Itinerarium, or Barnabee's Journal' is the most famous of poet Richard Brathwaite's (1588?-1673). It appeared in 1638 under the pseudonym 'Corymbaeus.' It is a sparkling record of English travel, in Latin and English verse. It was neglected in its own age, but being reprinted under the title of 'Drunken Barnaby's Four Journeys,' achieved a considerable success during the eighteenth century, and is still in some vogue. The authorship was not ascertained until the publication of the seventh edition by Joseph Haslewood in 1818. Previously supposed authors were known as: Corymbaeus; Philogenes Pandonius; Musaeus Palatinus; Clitus-Alexandrinus. Southey pronounced the original the best piece of rhymed Latin in modern literature. There are great details of 17th century English social life, and drinking customs.

Three Volumes. 8vo. 185mm. Original quarter leather bindings. Bindings very worn. Volume I lacks spine and front board detached. Early ownership of E. Vans Agnew Maitland May, 1887 on front paste downs. Elphinstone Vans Agnew (1856-1904) was a member of the Scottish gentry. 'Beauchamp's Career' is a novel which portrays life and love in upper-class Radical circles and satirises the Conservative establishment. Meredith himself was inclined to think it his best novel, and the character Renee de Croisnel was his favourite of his creations. Some call it one of the finest political novels in English. These 'tripple deckers' are rather scarce today. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! LITERATURE BX 6
