177928070London: G. Kearsly 1779. Fifth edition improved and corrected with upwards of 50 additional illustrations and explanatory remarks. 4to pp. 6 5-56. Bound without the half-title in new boards and end papers small paper repair at the bottom of the title-page. A fine clean copy. The British Mueum attributes this to Shute Barrington the Bishop of Landaff; however the NYPL copy has a MSS note suggesting the author is Charles Fox a more likely candidate. Not in Halkett and Lainge. The lady president of this "mock meeting " is Aa BAss Cs late Ma ss of Cn. known as AmeIia Baroness Conyers Late Marchioness of Carmarthen who eloped from her husband with a John Byron who with his second wife was the parent of Lord Byron. Parliament granted her husband a divorce in May 1779. In reading through the Parliamentary debates for 1779 we find a dismayed Bishop introducing a bill to discourage adultery: i.e. attempting to prevent the adulterer read woman from marrying her lover. Citing the increase in the number of divorces in this recent reign the Bishop calls upon the Parliament to punish such behavior before the entire social fabric unravels. During the discussion in the House of Commons Charles Fox vehemently opposes this bill calling it "unequal unjust and tyrannical." In this marvelous scathing tract the titled ladies discuss their marriages perceptions of their lords and power and in the final vote recollecting an incident from Don Quixote decide to toss the Bishop about in a blanket. It seems highly unlikely that the conservative Bishop would have had such a laugh at his own expense. On a more serious note this is an important look at the state of marriage and divorce during the late 18th century in England. G. Kearsly unknown books

192919847New York: E.P. Dutton & Co. Inc. Very Good in Fair dj. 1929. 2nd printing. Hardcover. book is lightly worn with a touch of dust-soiling and faint spotting on the top edge of the text block; the jacket alas is badly compromised due to a large chunk having been torn away from the top left corner of the front panel taking with it about half of the title. "Body horror" novel about the psychological havoc wrought upon a famous pianist when his hands mangled in an accident are surgically replaced by those of a recently-executed murderer. Originally published in France in 1920 the novel was first filmed as a 1924 silent in Austria directed by Robert Wiene of "Caligari" fame; subsequent movie versions acknowledging the source novel were MAD LOVE 1935 starring Colin Clive and Peter Lorre and THE HANDS OF ORLAC 1960 with Mel Ferrer and Christopher Lee. It was also unofficially remade without source attribution as HANDS OF A STRANGER 1962 and is often acknowledged as an inspiration for the 1946 thriller THE BEAST WITH FIVE FINGERS. Rare in the dust jacket this example of which apart from the noted large missing piece is virtually unworn and is a great candidate for professional restoration. Alternatively one could take the much less expensive approach of obtaining a beautiful facsimile of the original jacket from the well-known purveyor of such things; details upon request. . E.P.
