82611 May 1859. 12mo 4 pp. Bifolium. Watermarked 'TOWGOOD'S SUPER FINE 1859'. Eighty-seven lines of text. Text clear and complete on aged and grubby paper. With little hope of influencing the editor of Punch the author feels compelled to 'write and tell you what I and many others think about your Publication and the malignant spite you display towards individuals who happen to incur your wrath'. This 'malignity' he feels 'must be derived from that murderous old ruffian from whom your publication takes its name and which alone prevents it being an influential publication. Men laugh at the jokes in it and admire the skill of Mr. Leech and his assistants but II have yet to find the Man whose opinions were ever changed by anything he saw in "Punch".' He gives two examples of 'many instances of individuals who have been persecuted' by the magazine: the actor Charles Kean and 'Mr Williams of Lambeth'. What had Kean 'done to incur the wrath of "Punch" Simply offended one of its staff'. As for Williams he had stated 'in a Speech to the Electors of Lambeth . that he had been offered a Title which he rejected - now that was nothing but the truth for you know very well that a Baronetcy really was offered to Mr Williams and rejected'. The author accuses 'Punch' of being 'ready enough to make yourself a mere tool of corruption . trying to do that by ridicule which those in power could not do by flattery'. Quotes 'the advice given this day by the "Weekly Dispatch" to the "Saturday Review" before concluding 'You need not make any funny remarks about any grammatical errors that may appear in this letter. If there are any I admit them for I do not profess to be a Scholar'. 1 May 1859. unknown

25462The Clarendon Hotel Bond Street London. The entries all said to date from 1831. The Clarendon Hotel was once - as ‘Routledge’s Popular Guide to London’ stated in 1862 - ‘the most fashionable place in London’ and the present collection of autograph signatures from its guestbook all of them said to date from 1831 bear witness to the fact that - as ‘Gilbert’s Visitor’s Guide to London’ 1851 states - it was ‘frequented by the Nobility and Gentry and Foreigners of rank’. Its reputation had been made during the Regency period and in 1820 ‘Leigh’s New Picture of London’ stated that it ‘and Jaquiers are now one hotel’. The hotel’s fame is indicated by the fact that two years after the date of the present collection in 1833 the its pretensions were ridiculed from Scotland by ‘Blackwood’s Magazine’: ‘“I hope†said M‘Goul “it’s a goot house - no sand crunching upon the floor nor the rafters plack with peat reek.â€â€™ Walter Besant provides information regarding the hotel in his ‘Survey of London’ 1911 ‘At No. 169 on the west side of Bond Street was the Clarendon Hotel formerly the town house of the Dukes of Grafton and afterwards the residence about 1741 of the elder Pitt. The hotel was closed in 1877 and replaced by a row of shops.’ The revised ‘Survey’ 1980 provides more information. The present collection of material consists of a large number of autograph signatures on gilt-edged leaves extracted from the Clarendon Hotel guestbook: a total of seven full leaves dating from between 15 October and 2 November 1831 and nine slips cut from leaves seven of them dating from the April 1831. The material is in good condition with minor signs of age. Accompanying the material are two Typed Letters Signed to Mrs I. McArthur of Croydon from the City of Westminster Public Libraries. The first from the City Engineer and Surveyor W. W. Ratcliff 28 January 1953 refers her to the author of the second written three days later from the Archivist G. F. Osborn which states: ‘The Clarendon Hotel was situated on the west side of New Bond Street. Its number in 1831 was 169 but the building of that date covered the approximate frontage now taken up by Nos. 173-178 New Bond Street. At one time in the 1830s but not I think as early as 1831 it extended backwards and included No. 20 Albemarle Street.’ An autograph postscript reads: ‘Asprey corner of Bond St. & Grafton St. is 165 New Bond St. It must have been between Grafton St & the Bond St. entrance of the Royal Arcade backing on to what is now the Royal Institution 21 Albemarle St.’. Also present is a meticulous collection of manuscript material relating to the autographs presumably the work of Mrs. McArthur or associate including a four-page transcription of the material not entirely accurate dated by the writer to the year 1831 in a neat close hand an alphabetical index of names 2pp 4to and six pages of biographical information 6pp 4to relating to signatories. There are around 180 entries of names and titles with addresses occasionally added in another hand. A small percentage for example Talleyrand and Admiral Sir Thomas Hardy are clearly NOT the signatures of the parties named in these cases apparently entered by the same hotel staff who added the addresses but the range of variation between the different entries coupled with some spot-checking indicates that most are genuine signatures of the parties named although on some occasions the names of women are given in the hand of the ‘head of the family’. A few individuals for example the Count of Montara Sir Brook Taylor and the future prime minister Palmerston sign several times. An entire list of the names is as follows: the first four among the non-signatures Lord Southampton; Lord Godrich; Prince de Talleyrande; ‘Mr Wood 13 <> St.’; Lt.

6740c. 1818 London: Printed by G. Brimmer 15 Water-lane Fleet-street; and sold by G. and I. Offer Postern Row Tower Hill and J. Higham 6 Chiswell Street. On one side of a piece of unwatermarked wove paper 32 x 25 cm. Good on lightly aged and creased paper. Attractively produced within a decorative border with the title in gothic script and the text beginning in a single column before splitting into two. Printer's and publishers' details at foot with advertisement of five works published between 1815 and 1817. After three scriptural quotations begins 'ALL Sinners who are arrested by the HOLY SPIRIT tried in the Court of Conscience cursed and condemned by the just and holy law of God and in consequence thereof become willing to serve his Majesty JEHOVAH in the Royal Regiment of SAINTS and in CAPTAIN IMMANUEL's Company or NEW JERUSALEM where the company now lies; .'. Contains two poems: the first 26 lines beginning 'These soldiers are bold and well they may Since Christ their Captain leads the way;' and the second 16 lines 'GIRD thy loins up Christian Soldier Lo! thy Captain calls thee out;'.

A single copy of an earlier version produced in 1791 and with significant variations is held by the Bodleian. Excessively scarce: no copy on COPAC. According to BBTI Brimmer was active between 1802 and 1824 and George Offer no G. and I. Offer in Postern Row before 1794 and until 1824. [c. 1818] London: Printed by G.

196226295Italie, Rome, Bozzesi Editeur / Série " Télé Romans " n° 2 de 1963. In-8 agrafé de 66 pages au format 26 x 18,5 cm. Couverture illustrée en couleurs. Plats, dos et intérieur frais. Cette publication, intitulée 2 télé romans Jungle, proposait la série télévisée américaine, Sheena, Queen of the Jungle, inédite en France, et qui est une version féminine de Tarzan. Cette dernière était suivie d'un épisode de la série Captain David Grief , d'après Jack London. Les deux titres paraissaient une semaine sur deux. La série télévisée, Sheena, datant de 1955, composée de 26 épisodes, était interprétée par Irish McCalla, et est renommée ici, pour des questions de droits : Zeeyna. Contrairement au succès remporté par la séries Star Ciné, cette série ne connut qu'une existence éphémère, de 12 numéros publiés. Le numéro annoncé dans le fascicule 12, pourrait ne pas avoir été publié. Ce fascicule contient : Zeeyna, Reine de la Jungle : La Terre des Animaux Fous et Captain David Grief : La Recherche Dangereuse. Très rare édition originale, surtout dans un tel état de fraicheur.

The investigation focused on Spiro Agnew's activities as Baltimore County Executive and as Governor of Maryland. It was found that Agnew had accepted bribes and kickbacks from contractors in exchange for public service contracts. In September of 1973 Agnew engaged the K Street law firm of Paul Weiss Rifkind Wharton & Garrison. Martin London became his lead attorney. London together with Jay H. Topkis and Max Gitter drafted a "Memorandum In Support of Motion" addressing the question as to whether it would be constitutional to indict or criminally try a sitting Vice President. The memorandum puts forth historical arguments as to why "the constitution bars a criminal proceeding against the Vice President of the United States". In the meantime following a precedent set in 1826 by Vice President John C. Calhoun Agnew asked the House of Representatives to initiate an impeachment investigation into bribery charges. The hope was that his name would be cleared by such an investigation. However Speaker Carl Albert after consulting the parliamentarian and other members denied Agnew's request on September 26 1973 stating that the request "relates to matters before the courts. In view of that fact I as Speaker will not take any action.at this time". On October 5 1973 Solicitor General Robert Bork responded negatively to Agnew's request to enjoin the grand jury proceedings investigating him. He provided the United States District Court for the District of Maryland with a brief stating that "considerations based upon the Constitution's text history and rationale which indicate that all civil officers of the United States other than the President are amenable to the federal criminal process either before or after the conclusion of impeachment proceedings." Spiro Agnew resigned from his office on October 10 1973 pleading no contest to a single charge of tax evasion.</p> Washington, DC, September 28, 1973. paperback
16 p. 8vo. Disbound. William, Atkinson (1758-1846), was ordained priest in 1782, and in 1784 was appointed lecturer at the parish church of Bradford, Yorkshire. At Bradford he was embroiled in various controversies, poetical and political. He kept a printing press in his home and often issued pamphlets of his own on ecclesiastical and political topics under the name of the Old Inquirer. Between 1794 and 1829 he published a further twenty-five pamphlets, all of which took an increasingly reactionary approach to a variety of political, religious, and economic subjects. A consistent target was dissent; at one time he brought out a small serial called The Looking Glass, in which he bitterly expressed his views on this topic. He engaged in a short pamphlet war with `Vindex' (Edward Parsons) on the loyalty of dissenters. Atkinson was described as a `man of rare scholarly attainment, but of somewhat eccentric character' (Venn, Alum. Cant.). He was said to have been of Herculean build. We suspect that the subscribers' list here and the large sums pledged may be fictitious, and part of Atkinson's pamphlet war with a supposed 'Constitutional Association, for Suppressing Seditious Publications'. This pamphlet is VERY SCARCE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! ENGLAND BOX 5
