Adam Clarke (1762-1832) was an Irish born Wesleyan divine. He is probably best known for his Bibliographical Dictionary and commentary on the Bible, but I believe that his first published work is his Dissertation on the Use and Abuse of Tobacco. This was a popular anti-tobacco tract which was also reprinted several times during his life. It was one of the bitterest attacks on the habit, and became the textbook of the oppositionists. The work highlights the respiratory and muscular risks of using tobacco, and tells of the results of tests carried out on pigeons and a cat.

Very Good Turkish, Ottoman (1500-1928) Original wrappers. Roy. 8vo. (23 x 16 cm). In Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 94 p., richly illustrated. The first and only edition of this rare Turkish illustrated book including the lecture notes for the Turkish military schools, on the principles of establishing a factory and industrialization, given by Kagitçi, who was the pioneer of the Ottoman / Turkish paper industry, who defended the thesis that a national paper industry should be established in Turkey and that there are all kinds of possibilities to achieve this in the period, who served as an "Industry Teacher" in the Military Academy Command High School of Materials between 1927-1934. This is one of the first works on its field in the rising early Republican Turkey in the period, including Ahmet Hamdi's book "Fabrikacilik" [i.e. Fabrication] published in 1919, and supporting the industrial breakthrough that was initiated after the proclamation of the Republic. Kagitçi went to Germany to study papermaking with the permission of the institution he worked for. He worked in the pulp and paper mills of Hannoversche Papierfabriken Alfeld-Gronau Company in Germany at the end of 1925. He went to France in 1926 and served as a worker in the pulp, paper, and cardboard factories of Papeteries de France. After learning the watermark technique in Lyon and the pulp deposition techniques in Metz, from the source and by practice, he enrolled in the Institute of Papermaking, affiliated with the Faculty of Science of the University of Grenoble. Mehmed Ali Bey, who completed his education at the institute with first place in 1927, returned to Turkey with the title of "Paper Engineer". The projects of a factory that will produce paper, cardboard, packaging paper, newsprint and cigarette paper in Turkey were prepared under his management. Özege 5356.; Not in OCLC.

Thomas Jennet (1769-1846) bookseller and printer, a native of Kirkdale, Yorkshire, was apprenticed to, and later partnership with, Robert Christopher, trading as 'Chrisopher & Jennet'. After Christopher's death in 1819 Jennet traded alone. He was the most important printer in Stockton, a magistrate and three times Mayor. After his death the business was continued as 'Jennet & Co'. A search of both Copac and OCLC fails to find any catalogues issued by Jennet. Emerson Charnley I (1782-1845) bookseller and politician, son of William and Elizabeth, 'the veteran emperor of Northumbrian booksellers' according to Dibdin who stayed with him in 1834. He published many important catalogues of antiquarian books until he gave up that side of his business to concentrate on new books in 1843. He supplied 'Literary societies, mechanics societies, book clubs, village libraries, schools... on the most liberal terms' according to an advertisement of 1839. He was active in Newcastle politics, his shop being the headquarters of the Whigs on the town council. Succeeded by his son, Emerson II.
