Vaughan" are to her husband are dated from 1672 to within a year of his execution in 1683. "These letters are written with such a neglect of style and often of grammar as may disgust the admirers of well-turned periods and they contain such frequent repetitions of homely tenderness as may shock the sentimental readers of the present days. But they evince the enjoyment of happiness built on such rational foundations and so truly appreciated by its possessors as too seldom occurs in the history of the human heart" editor. London.

18712240144Boston: Alfred Mudge & Son 1871. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. See photos for condition details. Hardcover green cloth beveled boards with gilt text on front and spine. Exterior shows scuffing and soiling along with edge and corner bumps/wear. The top and bottom edges of the spine are missing sections of the cloth. The main reason for the very low condition grade of fair is because the first end page has been torn out presumably to take out the signature of the original owner. There is only one blank and page and the front still present. The only handwriting that was found in the book is opposite the title page no other markings noted. Pages are toned due to age and there is some pulling and spots and the rear hinge is cracking. This book is in early temperance publication on the evils of liquor and is uncommon to find the original publication - even in this condition. <br/> <br/> Alfred Mudge & Son hardcover

Au verso du 1 f. on lit : “Edition unique, tirée à seulement cinq cent exemplaires”Né à Bruxelles en 1789, Pierquin de Gembloux est l’un des érudits les plus originaux du XIXème siècle. «Sa bibliographieforme à elle seule un magnifique poème où se mêlent, s’affrontent et se complètent l’histoire, l’archéologie, la numismatique, la philologie, pédagogie, la médecine, l’hygiène, la poésie… Qu’il ait été un «fou littéraire» rien n’est moins sûr… Que son œuvre soit «hétéroclite», l’affirmative l’emporte si l’on admet qu’elle a débordé largement, en son temps, les règles de la médecine, de la morale, du goût… Enfin si Pierquin restait inqualifiable, rétif à nos catégories, inassimilable, on ne refusera pas de discerner dans cette déshérence la raison même, la raison suffisante de la faveur que nous lui avons prodiguée.» N.

182828241London: Longman Rees Orme Brown and Green 1828 1828. First edition. Fine copy. 8vo contemporary brown calf brown morocco spine label gilt decorations and lettering. Bound without the half-title. In 1783 Mary Berry 1763-1852 author and friend and editor of Horace Walpole went on the Grand Tour of Europe with her father and sister Agnes and returned there particularly to France many times. Her richly woven Comparative View represents observations gathered in over thirty-five years of travel to France during which she was a keen observer and reporter. While not descriptive of the sights and scenes or the arduousness of the journey Berry's writings are insightful social commentary similar to the writings of Mary Wollstonecraft Helen Maria Williams and Harriet Martineau. In 1831 Berry published a companion volume which brought her cultural study forward from 1789 to 1830. <br/><br/> London: Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, 1828 unknown books

187012823Newnan Ga: October 1 1870. Broadside 7.75 x 9 inches with engraved vignette at center. Old folds moderate foxing and dust-soiling light staining. Short closed tear to bottom edge. Overall very good. A delightful mid-19th-century Georgia railroad broadside advertising changes to the ticketing system for one of the southern rail lines owned by William Byrd Berry. Here rates for travel between Berry's hometown of Newnan and Carrollton or Bowdon are specified and the rates for children under the age of 10 are noted as half price. Further the broadside stipulates baggage is capped at fifty pounds and the excess will be charged "Express rates." The work is signed in type by "W.B. Berry & Co." and dated October 1 1870 in Newnan. The text is enhanced with a striking central vignette of a locomotive pulling several railcars through a mountainous region. William Byrd Berry 1831-1902 was a prominent businessman and landowner born and raised in Newnan Georgia. He served as president of various banks and was involved in a number of railroad interests in the state. As far as we can tell the present broadside is unrecorded. October 1 unknown
