First and only edition of this Juvenalian satire on London "this great wicked unwieldy over-grown Town one continued hurry of Vice and Pleasure". This disbound copy in notably good condition.

The author then goes on to condemn among others the excessive lifestyle of the fop the evils of effeminate sodomites and the practice of cursing too frequently. His diatribe against gluttonous eating is illustrated with a diagram of a three-course menu including Soupe au Bourgoise Beef à la Tremblade and Fricasee of Salamanders which he ridicules as having nothing to recommend it "but the Expence and hard Names" p. 31.

1906149996New York: The Macmillan Company 1906. First edition of London's beloved novel. Octavo original pictorial cloth with white and gilt lettering pictorial endpapers. Tissue-guarded frontispiece and 7 color plates by Charles Livingston Bull. With usual cancel title page. BAL notes that the cancel page occurs printed on either wove or on laid paper the rest of the text sheets are all laid paper but no priority or other significance. BAL 11896. Association copy inscribed by London's step-sister at Jack London Ranch "Dearest Jessie I could not think of a more appropriate gift for your birthday than a 1st edition of 'White Fang' written by the boy you & I watched grow into manhood & prominence and whom we both loved. All love & best wishes for many happy returns of the day- Mother. Jack London Ranch June 15 1935." In 1905 London purchased a 1000-acre ranch in Glen Ellen Sonoma County California on the eastern slope of Sonoma Mountain. Desirous that the ranch become a successful business enterprise he continued to write purely as a commercial enterprise. The ranch was ultimately an economic failure but it was during this period that London published some of his best-known works including White Fang 1906 The Iron Heel 1908 and Adventure 1911. Eliza Shepard moved to Beauty Ranch Glen Ellen in 1910 where Jack hired her as both ranch supervisor and overseer of the Wolf House Project. Following Jack's death Eliza partnered with his widow Charmian and continued to handle most business matters including the continuation of the ranch and movie rights. In near fine condition with rubbing to the spine. Jack London's bookplate tipped on to the front free endpaper. Accompanied by a letter of authenticity from Christophe Stickel Autographs laid in. White Fang takes place in Yukon Territory and the Northwest Territories Canada during the 1890s Klondike Gold Rush and details White Fang's journey to domestication. It is a companion novel and a thematic mirror to London's best-known work The Call of the Wild which is about a kidnapped domesticated dog embracing his wild ancestry to survive and thrive in the wild. Upon its release it was an immediate success worldwide and became especially popular among younger readers. Robert Greenwood called White Fang "one of London’s most interesting and ambitious works." It has been adapted for the screen numerous times including a 1991 film starring Ethan Hawke. The Macmillan Company hardcover

Nisbet Modern half red morocco blue paper sides with a red morocco title label on the front lettered and decorated in gold. With a folding engraved map of the islands in the Southern Pacific Ocean dated June 26 1818. 3 1 blank 8 86 pp. Rare work on the history of Otaheite present day Tahiti and the work of the London Missionary Society LMS in the region in the late 18th and early 19th century. The present edition is the second which was published only a few months after the first but has been significantly enlarged with nearly twice as many pages and a map of the islands in the South Pacific Ocean. It was written by and printed for members of the LMS which is possibly why it is quite rare. We have only been able to find three other copies in sales records of the past hundred years.The London Missionary Society was established in 1795 with the intent to do missionary work in Polynesia. Their first voyage to the South Pacific took place in 1796. Thirty missionaries and their families travelled aboard the ship Duff captained by James Wilson 1760-1814 to the various islands on which they were posted namely Tongatapu the Marquesas Islands and Tahiti. The present work gives a short account of this voyage based on primary sources and tells of the experiences of the missionaries on Tahiti in the years after including conflicts with the locals and the operations of the first printing press in the Pacific Islands which was brought to Tahiti by missionary William Ellis 1794-1872 in 1817. The work also includes a translation of four letters from the converted king Pomare II 1782-1821 dated 1807 1815 1816 and 1817 which were sent to the missionaries.The work is lightly browned throughout.

1853186203London: Waterlow & Sons 1853. An essential guide for the Victorian Londoner First edition scarce. Fares for horse-drawn cabs in 19th-century London could be highly unpredictable and inexperienced visitors were often exploited. In 1853 the London Hackney Carriage Act increased regulations over the industry and tasked the Commissioner of the Police with enforcing them. This handbook was published to educate potential customers on the new regulations. Cab fares were stipulated at sixpence per mile within a four-mile radius from Charing Cross Road. Beyond this fares were a shilling per mile. This is illustrated with a large folding map at the front of the handbook. Other regulations covered speed and quality of vehicle. We have traced copies at just five institutions in the UK and two in North America. Small octavo. Folding map of "A Circle of Four Miles from Charing Cross" opening to 375 x 400 mm some hand-colour. Original brown wavy-grain cloth blind frames to covers title and arms of the City of London in blind to the upper edges sprinkled brown "Index to Map" printed on front pastedown. Contemporary ownership inscription to front flyleaf "S. V. Walter 1854". Wear to spine ends a few spots of soiling to sides a little foxing to outer leaves short splits to folding map at stub.

1914362105Bosworth Inc 1914. Ephemera. Near fine. A terrific large poster for a 1914 silent film based on a Jack London short story. London's story of the same name published in the January 1900 issue of The Atlantic is set in Klondike-era Alaska. One of the central characters Naass is an Aleut whose great-great grandfather was a shipwrecked White European. <br /> <br /> Naass describes himself as "a chief and the son of a chief born between a sunset and a rising on the dark seas in my father’s oomiak." He left the Aleutian Island and came to mainland Alaska. "I turned away from the ocean which never rests and went among the lands where the trees the houses and the mountains sit always in one place and do not move. I journeyed far and came to learn many things even to the way of reading and writing from books." This last is the basis for the image on the poster. <br /> <br /> Hobart Bosworth wrote with Hettie Grey Baker directed and starred in the film version. The poster shows Bosworth as Naass—but looking rather more indigenous than he does in photographs—sitting on a dock and writing in a child's school workbook. The image is a more sympathetic depiction of a Native American that was common at the time.<br /> <br /> The film was released on September 3 1914 by Paramount Pictures. The upper right corner includes an "Authenticated Film" logo for authorized adaptations of Jack London's work. This logo may have resulted from the fact that competing film versions of The Sea Wolf were released in 1913. Bosworth was London's preferred actor and director for film adaptations.<br /> <br /> This is a three-sheet movie poster measuring 42-1/4 by 82 inches assembled from two large stone lithographs on paper mounted to a cloth backing. An exceptional example linen backed with only minor restoration in the margins and the tiniest bit of overpainting to the yellow background at the top. A rare poster. Bosworth, Inc unknown

Some documents soiled or dampstained a few with tears but overall good to very good. Calendar of the archive included.</p> <p> The City of London Truss Society a highly successful British charitable organization began operating in 1807 and continued well into the twentieth century Sir Geoffrey Keynes the well-known surgeon and bibliographer served on the Society's medical staff in the 1930s. A notice published in the Philosophical Magazine in 1813 describes the genesis of the Society:</p> <p> "From the great number of persons among the laboring poor who were afflicted with hernia and for whose relief no adequate provision existed on the 14th of October 1807 Dr. Squire Dr. Herdman John Taunton the Rev. H. G. Watkins James Horton Michael Bartlett Joseph Atkinson John Middleton John Gardner and John Whitford met at the City Dispensary and formed themselves into a Society 'for the relief of the ruptured poor throughout the Kingdom the City of London Truss Society'" Philosophical Magazine 43 1813: 316. </p> <p> John Taunton 1769-1821 surgeon to London's city dispensary was appointed the Truss Society's first surgeon; after his death his son John Colley Taunton took over the post remaining there until his own death in 1858. By 1813 the Society was treating nearly 2000 patients annually; by Taunton's death in 1821 this number had increased to over 3500; and by the end of the nineteenth century the Society was employing three surgeons and seeing over 10000 patients per year. </p> <p>The archive we are offering contains 65 documents of which all but seven are handwritten. Of the 58 handwritten documents the majority are letters to and a few from John Colley Taunton. The most notable correspondent represented here is physiologist and surgeon Benjamin Collins Brodie 1783-1862 whose letter to Taunton advises him on a urinary tract infection in a patient. Four of the letters are from surgeon William Kingdon 1789-1863; two of these recommend poor patients to the Society's care. 31 letters are from Samuel Cartwright 1789-1864 a dentist and one of the vice-presidents of the Truss Society; nearly all of his letters have to do with donations to the Society and several include the exact amounts given. Another group of letters is from Mary Tanner presumably a patient; two of these letters include prescription notes in what is presumably J. C. Taunton's hand. Also included in this archive are three of the Society's annual reports for the years 1862-1864; a printed subscription card; and two printed invitations from the Society addressed to Walter K. Taunton. A complete calendar of the archive is included. Royal College of Surgeons Plarr's Lives of the Fellows Online. </p> <p>. unknown
