Extremities a trifle rubbed and marked. Bookplate of Nottingham Public Libraires to FEP with their occasional ink-stamps throughout wrapper worn. 'Breathes there a man who questions the righteousness of our cause Is there a man who would bid our sword return unsprinkled to its scabbard Is there a man in all Christendom who would bid us stand still Then let him look down the well in the barrack yard of Cawnpore!' The second located copy of an impassioned sermon preached by Methodist minister Robert Newton Young 1829-1898 on the occasion of a day of humiliation appointed to mark the atrocities committed against British soldiers and citizens - particularly the Massacre at Cawnpore - during the Sepoy Rebellion of 1857. Young adamant that the Mutiny was the result of the government of India sanctioning 'idolatry' and 'popular superstition' references other contemporary military tragedies to demonstrate British resolve notably the recently concluded Crimean War: 'The cavalry charge at Balaclava was doubtless such a passage of arms as seldom falls to the historian to record; Inkermann was the modern Agincourt. British valour was doughty and incomparable as ever; but it cannot be forgotten that the most magnificent army that ever left our shores melted away like the snow-drift'.

Photogravure portrait frontispiece 21 chromolithograph plates of bird eggs numbered I-XXI 16 lithograph plates tinted chromolithographic or uncoloured depicting birds nests and landscapes lettered A-P and a folding colour map of Lapland. John Wolley 1823-1859 was an ornithologist and egg collector first becoming interested in the subject whilst studying at Cambridge. Over time he became something of an expert on the Dodo and later on the Great Auk. His studies led to travels in Europe and Scandinavia and it was during one of these trips in the 1850s that he interviewed the men that had killed the last of the Great Auk species the previous decade. Wolley fell ill after one of these foreign trips and eventually passed away at the tender age of 36. On his demise his notes and remaining egg collection passed to his close friend Alfred Newton who painstakingly edited and published Wolley's notes over the next half century. Alfred Newton 1829-1907 became one of the pre-eminent ornithologists of the age being one of the founders of the British Ornithologists' Union in 1858 and ascending to the chair of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy at Cambridge in 1866 a post that he held until his death. In these later decades Newton also edited or contributed to many other important ornithological works such as editions of Yarrell's Birds the Encyclopaedia Britannica and his own Dictionary of Birds four volumes 1893-96 but his editorship of Wolley's work was by far his crowning achievement in print. The first letter is dated September 1864 and is evidently written to James Thomas Edge 1827-1894 originally James Thomas Hurt he took his mother's maiden name early in his adult life. Newton explains that he had asked Van Voorst to send Edge a copy of the work but that the publisher had ignored his instruction to inscribe the volume with his wishes. This omission prompted Newton's belated letter which had been delayed due to a summer long bird watching trip to Spitsbergen. The later letters are both addressed to Edge's son Thomas Lewis Kekewich Edge 1856-1931 the first of these references the senior Edge's collection - the importance of certain pieces within it and the need to ticket them. Newton's final letter is dated March 1907 just three months prior to his death. He is glad that Edge has had "the 4th and last part of this book and seems to like it" and commends an extract that Edge had quoted from his father's journal in a previous letter apparently confirming a conclusion John Wolley had also come to. Interestingly Wolley's father Francis also changed surname during his adult life - taking on his wife's maiden name. Prior to becoming a Wolley Francis' surname had been Hurt. Thus it transpires that as well as sharing a keen interest in ornithology and oology John Wolley and James Thomas Edge were second cousins. The ephemera comprises an 1865 printed sale notice from the auctioneer J.C. Stevens offering a "Rare & Remarkable Egg" of a bird "presumed to be quite extinct" which he states was "probably the Dinornis ingens of Owen". Richard Owen had been sent a fragment of an unusual bone that had been excavated in New Zealand in the late 1830s. After studying it for several years he came to the conclusion that it was almost certainly a part of a bone from a giant flightless bird which he named Dinornis novaezealandiae more commonly known by its Maori name of Moa which had long since been extinct. Also inserted is a 24 pp. sale catalogue of eggs dated 1858 offered by the same auctioneer the eggs collected by John Wolley himself in Lapland the previous year. A handsome set of a what is ordinarily an uncommon work this set rendered unique with its the family association letters from the editor and the related ephemera. London: Sold by R.H. Porter unknown

He played an active role in the Royal Academy repeatedly serving on their council and in 1852 became a member of the hanging committee. Originally a theatre painter Stanfield was described by Ruskin as "the leader of the British Realists and next to Turner the noblest master of cloud forms of all our artists" ODNB.

18905207Washington DC: Judd & Detweiler Printer 1890. Octavo 19.5 x 13.5 cm. 110 pages. Subtitle on cover and flyleaf: A Cook Book. "Index" page 17 is actually a table of contents. Advertisements on pages 1-14 and 95-110. First edition. Two hundred twenty ascribed recipes gathered in support of a beloved urban space where "The seats in the church are free at every service". The dishes bear echoes of a British and conservative culinary orientation: Clam Chowder English Rice Pudding Farcied i.e. stuffed Tomatoes Shrove Tuesday Pancakes Apple Roly-Poly Pickled Lemons Shrewsbury Cakes Soft Gingerbread Fig Pudding. Included is a Plum Pudding that made the rounds in post-Civil War cookbooks attributed to Mrs. General Sherman. Seldom is the immediate fund-raising goal of a church cookbook forthrightly stated but Mrs. Valk and Miss Newton left no doubt: "The ladies who have compiled this little volume hope that it may accomplish the double mission of helping to conserve domestic serenity and of pushing forward the good work to which its proceeds are to be devoted-the erection of St. Paul's Parish Building". The community now known as St. Paul's Parish at K Street was born of the missionary fervor that swept Washington in the aftermath of the Civil War. The first church was constructed in 1868 on 23rd Street between Pennsylvania Avenue and I Street NW not far from Washington Circle. No photographs of this first building appear to have survived. At once resolutely Anglo-Catholic and "free" - that is without reserved or rented pews - St. Paul's has since that time embraced an urban mission at the heart of the District. After the federal government seized the location by eminent domain in 1944 St. Paul's congregation built the church it now occupies on the south side of K Street. A number of pages spot- or splatter-stained a few with marks in pencil. Some soiling to edges of text block; textblock firm despite shaken covers. Bound in red publisher's cloth stained with black titling and blind-stamped decorative pattern; corners bumped. Good. Scarce. OCLC locates two copies; Cook page 49; no in Brown or Cagle.

1892457459Cincinnati; Chicago 1892. Near Fine. A small archive of six letters written to C. Jay French general manager of the American Bell Telephone Company including two holograph letters and a telegram written in 1879 by the Theodore Vail who oversaw the building of America's first coast to coast telephone system. The remaining four letters are from four business colleagues in 1892. Each set of letters is neatly pinned together at the upper left corner: the first with an autograph note by French; and the second with a clipping outlining French's career. Both sets are in fine condition overall.<br /> <br /> Contemporary journalists called Theodore Vail the “Cincinnatus of Communications†and modern biographers call him “one of the two or three foremost organizing geniuses in the history of American industry.†In 1878 he was called to run Bell Telephone as its general manager just two years after Alexander Graham Bell patented his invention of the telephone in 1876. He helped establish the country’s first commercial telephone exchange lines in 1878 and organized the Bell empire in the 1880s.<br /> <br /> The two Vail letters retained by French reveal his direct management style: the first was written to the head of a regional Bell company at Cincinnati to introduce French: “… As he will be in your city for a few days I would like if you would give him all the insight possible into the manner of conducting an exchange and also any other information in regard to the Telephone business that may be in your power.â€<br /> <br /> The second letter outlines French’s duties: “You will make it your first duty to visit the different agencies of this Co. and establish a correct uniform and prompt system of reports to this Company … You will consult freely and fully with all agents … You will impress upon the agents the necessity of the Company being fully advised as to the operations of the agency. In all cases we desire reports of the business – In all cases also it is the desire of this Company that the agents’ interest be consulted.â€<br /> <br /> The other set of letters were written by four leading managers to congratulate French for his promotion to general manager of the American Bell Telephone Company in 1892. A scarce cache of letters documenting the beginning of America’s telephone exchange network. A list of both sets of letters is available. unknown
