Ownership inscription on verso of each frontispiece bookplate on rear pastedowns. First volume with ink stamp on pastedown and titlepage. Lightly foxed. Some light wear and soiling. Very good. A very rare complete set of this interesting and important Tennessee periodical containing all twelve articles entitled "Early History of the Southwest" which constitute the main interest of the magazine for modern readers. After the magazine ceased publication with the December 1852 issue the editors followed their intention stated in their last editorial and gathered all of the narratives into a book issued in January 1853 entitled INDIAN BATTLES MURDERS SEIGES sic AND FORAYS IN THE SOUTH- WEST. ".This was a collection of narratives by various authors. These had appeared separately as articles in the SOUTH WESTERN MONTHLY MAGAZINE printed in Nashville during the years 1851-52. The magazines are considered frontier periodicals of extreme rarity - the 1853 book.is all but unobtainable. Apparently few copies of the book were printed judging from the very few times one finds records of its sale." - Allen. The actual first appearances in print of all of the items in the book are the periodical versions. <br> <br> Articles include "Sketch of the Captivity of Col. Joseph Brown" "The Indian Massacres in the Vicinity of Bosley's Spring." "Indian Murders around Nashville - Narrative of John Davis Esq." "Scalping of Thomas Everett and his two sisters near Buchanan's Fort." "Indian Battles and Murders - Narrative of General Hall" "Perils attending emigration from Virginia to the West.burning of Sigler's Fort. Narrative of John Carr" "The levy of men sent out from North Carolina.narrative of Mr. Samuel Blair" "Narrative of John Rains" "Massacre at Cavet's Station." Virtually all of the narratives describe Indian fights in Tennessee between the 1780s and the War of 1812. <br> <br> An important rarity of Indian warfare on the Old Southwest frontier. This set has a remarkably large number of plates; other sets we know of have far fewer. All seem to be remainders from New York publications used as illustrations without regard to text.

180925207London: Published as the Act directs by Thos. Daniell Howland Street Fitzroy Square 1809. Aquatint by Thomas Daniell after James Wales coloured by hand on 'Whatman' wove paper. Do Tali' the remarkable two storied cave complex from Plans of Hindoo Excavations in the Mountain of Ellora.<br/> <br/>This plate was engraved by Thomas Daniell after a drawing by James Wales in 1803 and is from the part of Oriental Scenery known as "Hindoo Excavations in the Mountain of Ellora near Aurangabad". The huge complex of cave temples was actually begun by Buddhists in the 6th century eventually including Hindo and Jain temples as well. The Daniells' Oriental Scenery is considered one of the finest illustrated works on India. Thomas Daniell and his nephew William spent nine years in India making studies sketches and drawings of the scenery architecture and antiquities that graced the countryside. They then devoted a further thirteen years to publishing their remarkably accurate aquatints. In Britain the impact was explosive. A cult of Indian architecture landscaping and interior decoration arose with the Royal Pavilion at Brighton as its centerpiece. The Daniells gave the English public their first accurate look at the exotic sub-continent. Their great achievement still lies in their ability to blend the picturesque with the real resulting in images that capture the European taste for the sublime landscape while still remaining faithful to their subjects. The Daniells brought the romance of the English landscape to the antiquities of India and provided England with an accurate vision of this wondrous country. The sixth part of Oriental Scenery is twenty-four plates based on drawings by James Wales primarily of the excavations at Ellora. The title of this section was Hindoo Excavations in the Mountain of Ellora near Aurungabad in Decan. The mountain contains 34 "caves" that were created to serve as monasteries and temples for Buddhists Hindus and Jains each religion having several spaces. Do Tal here called Dotali was one of the Buddhist "caves". It is three stories high and was built in the 8th century.<br/> <br/>Abbey Travel II.420 no. 122; Martinelli and Michell India: Yesterday and Today p. 210 no. 143; cf. Lowndes I p.588; cf.

1880167580Sydney: 1880-85. Rabbie Burns in Australia A unique manuscript book recording the meetings of the first six years of the Sydney Burns Club together with a scarce facsimile printing of Burns's original manuscript for the poem "Scots Wha' Hae" presented to the Highland Society of New South Wales in the 1890s. Together these items offer a fascinating insight into the preservation and promotion of Scottish culture in late 19th-century Australia. The minute book is written across 50 pages with several additional manuscript pages loosely inserted. Following the club's foundation in 1880 the club hosted Burns Night celebrations arranged concerts of Scottish songs and campaigned for a memorial statue to the poet in Sydney which was unveiled in 1905. The first entry records the club's inaugural meeting on 10 September 1880: "This evening a number of gentlemen. members of the Highland Society of N.S.W. met at the Rooms Waterloo Chambers to take into consideration the desirability of forming a Burns Club. Mr A. Kethel was voted to the Chair and explained fully the good to be derived from the study of the works of Burns and other Scottish authors". The facsimile of "Scots Wha' Hae" is inscribed at the head of the first page "A replica of the Original Copy - printed privately for the Town Council of Edinburgh - Copy belonging to Baillie J. Murray presented by him to this Society" with the society's ink stamp on the final page. We can trace only one other copy of the facsimile held by the State Library of Victoria. Burns wrote the lyric poem in 1793 in response to the trial of Glasgow lawyer Thomas Muir of Huntershill who was convicted of sedition and deported to Botany Bay Sydney. It takes the form of a speech by Robert the Bruce and in the manuscript is titled "Bruce's address to his troops at Bannockburn". The poem has long served as the unofficial national anthem of Scotland. Folio 314 x 212 mm. Contemporary red half calf black pebble-grain cloth sides spine and front cover lettered in gilt paper label to spine lettered "Sept. 1880/85" in manuscript marbled endpapers and edges. Together with a single bifolium facsimile folded to 352 x 257 mm.

18804504264Sydney: Turner & Henderson 1880. In remarkable original condition. Duodecimo pp. 22 ii; original wrappers preserved in a folding cloth box. <p><p>The rare catalogue of the Society's inaugural exhibition held at the Garden Palace which had been purpose-built for the Sydney International Exhibition in 1879. An impressive two hundred and twenty oils watercolours and drawings were hung: Mrs. Alfred Williams' painting Ophelia the most expensive at £75 was highly praised by the Bulletin art critic at the time. Her identification as Mrs. Florence E. Williams gives more understanding of the high price as she had exhibited under that version of her name at the Royal Academy since her teens before coming to Australia. </p> <p>Her inclusion was significant for as Joan Kerr has noted "Florence's paintings seem unique for Australia at the time when domestic genre paintings are almost unknown." Florence was a founding member of the Art Society and had been a friend and pupil of and much influenced by Millais. As one of the very few figure paintings in the exhibition Ophelia gained most attention but she also had four other oils in the exhibition. An earlier painting not in this exhibition of a crimson Rosella set against lush vegetation and Mount Wellington was sold for a record $90000 in 2015.</p> <p>As well the catalogue notes W. C. Piguenit's Sydney Harbour from North Shore priced at £52.10.0 in modern times it reached $198000 at Melbourne auction. The catalogue also records works by Collingridge Halstead and Short as well as seven New Zealand watercolours by J C Hoyte the President of the Society. The list of "Working Members" names 80 artists and the Honorary and subscribing Members 47 notably Sir Henry Parkes.</p> <p>From 1871 the New South Wales Academy of Art had held annual exhibitions and had urged the establishment of a Public Art Gallery. This had as much to do with inter colonial rivalry - Melbourne had opened its Gallery in 1861 - as it did about fine art. Once a permanent home for the collection had been found the New South Wales Academy of Art dissolved in 1880 and it was acknowledged that an "artists' society" was needed: a society of professional artists rather than the more inclusive Academy. Artists led by Arthur and George Collingridge sought to establish an Australian school of painting and the first exhibition of The Art Society of New South Wales was held in December 1880 following its formation in July of that year. </p> <p>This catalogue notes that the Society was established for the "promotion and preservation of the Fine Arts in Sydney" and to "enable professional artists to exhibit their works advantageously." Further aims of the Society were lectures on art and a sketching club. The Life Class already established will "give rise to a greater variety in the works."</p> <p>This catalogue is a rare surviving record of the Art Society's first exhibition and succinctly captures the impressive depth of Australian Art in the late nineteenth century.</p> </p> .

1898176660Brecon: Printed and Published by David Jenkins "Brecon and Radnor Express" Office 1898. First and only edition of an immediate reprint with additions of a local newspaper account detailing the ceremony and celebrations for the dedication of a memorial to "the non-commissioned officers and men. who fell in action during the Zulu Campaign of 1879". Ten men from the regiment won Victoria Crosses for the campaign and six of them attended the ceremony. No institutional copies have been traced. The 24th Regiment gained legendary status for their actions following one of the greatest military disasters in British history when the unfortified camp at Isandlwana was overwhelmed by a massive Zulu force. Five of the men present in 1898 had won their VCs for their bravery in the desperate defence of Rorke's Drift events depicted in the 1964 film Zulu although not entirely accurately. These men were Frederick Hitch Henry Hook Robert and William Jones and John Williams. Edward Stephenson Browne received his VC for the later Battle of Hlobane. In 1907 after a sustained campaign lieutenants Melvill and Coghill were the first to receive posthumous VCs for their attempts to save the regiment's colours at Isandlwana. Another VC winner from the 24th David Bell also attended. He had earned his medal in 1867 in the Andaman Islands for rescuing several comrades from dangerous surf when their boat capsized during a storm. Octavo pp. 34.

The Thain family is featured in the book "From Amroth to Utah" by Roscoe Howells. Flake 1783. From the Preface to the Twenty-Second Edition-<br /> <br /> "No book published by or for the Latter-day Saints has run through so many editions or been sold so extensively as the Hymn Book of which this is the twenty-second edition. The demand for it continues unabated and since the publication of the Latter-day Saints' Psalmody which contains music for every hymn in this book a new interest has been added to it and its usefulness enhanced. In this edition will be found a metrical index which the book formerly did not contain. This feature will be especially valuable to choirs. A few hymns have also been added to the end of the volume. That these additions may prove acceptable to the public and that the book may continue its cheering and consoling mission indefinitely is the desire of The Publishers. Salt Lake City Utah. June 1897.
