ESTCR202888. An early owner of this book, John [Johann August] Kruse was born in Germany in 1822. He qualified as a pharmacist at the University of Gottingen in 1847 and moved to London to manage a pharmacy for Dr S. Weil, a medical practitioner, in 1852. The next year Kruse went to Australia to manage Dr Weil’s new pharmacy in Richmond. Business was slow and in 1856 Kruse opened a second pharmacy ‘John Kruse and Company Chemists and Druggists’ at 207 Bourke St East. A year later the Richmond shop burnt down and pharmaceutical production was moved to 207 Bourke St and, later, to new premises at No. 184. Kruse played a pivotal role in the development of the pharmaceutical industry and pharmacy training in Victoria and helped to establish the Pharmaceutical Society of Victoria in 1857. During the 1860s Kruse manufactured pharmaceuticals and health products including mineral waters, tonics - such as Kruse's Fluid Magnesia, Acidulated Syrup of Raspberry and Lemon, insecticides and, for a short time, dynamite, before establishing his own analytical chemistry service. (A small advertisement on the front page of The Argus, Melbourne, Vic. Thursday 25 September 1862, announces that Mr. John Kruse has commenced manufacturing Fluid Magnesia … Also, Acidulated Syrup of Raspberry and Lemon, which forms in certain proportions with Kruse's fluid of magnesia, a most agreeable and cooling effervescent drink... .) Kruse was a highly-respected member of the pharmaceutical industry and won many awards for his health products. In 1878 he established the Melbourne School of Pharmacy, the forerunner of the Victorian College of Pharmacy, Monash University, where apprentices were taught chemistry, botany, materia medica and Latin. The school was monitored by the Pharmacy Board of Victoria, to which Kruse was appointed in 1880. Kruse died in Victoria in 1895.

The New Whitby Medley, Descriptive of the eccentricities of the soi-disant Ass******** for the prosecution of wandering Auctioneers, Hawkers, and Pedlars, and containing Hints to the Bridge-street Committee Informers, and busy MEDD-lers. By a Knight of the Hammer, whipper-in to the New Whitby Hunt or Ass******** ... Whitby: printed and sold by R. Rogers, 1815. 8vo. 24pp. Disbound. Ink note to final leaf verso upper margin ‘Nov 2nd, 1815 No 500.’ This may well have been the printer’s copy. £480.00 A short treatise written in prose and verse about auctions and auctioneering practice. There are references to prominent Whitby families, including Medd, Watson, Nicholson and Yeoman, who by their ‘illiberal combinations’ sought to restrict the sale of goods within the town. The crux of the dispute was the granting of auctioneers’ licences and their relationship with vending by hawkers. Obvious simmering came to the boil with the sale of a small library of books; the ‘preliminary observations’ plus a subsequent prose statement deal with this. There follows a section of satirical verse and finally a prose conclusion which hopes that ‘persecution of a wandering auctioneer or unlicensed hawker’ will not be forthcoming. However the final paragraph indicates that any profits from the publication would be set aside for a probable lawsuit. Under such circumstances further issues of the Medley were promised but lack of any record in Smales indicates the fracas subsided.

A description of the safety lamp, invented by George Stephenson, and now in use at Killingworth colliery. To which is added, An account of the lamp constructed by Sir Humphrey Davy. With engravings. 1st ed. London: printed for Baldwin, Craddock and Joy; Edinburgh: Archibald Constable and Co.; Newcastle: E. Charnley. (Printed by S. Hodgson, Union Street, Newcastle), 1817. 16p + 4 plates (one bound upside down). Original blue sugar-paper covers, tear to front cover, small hole to the back. Some light creasing to outside page edges. This copy has been sent through the post to Sir Horace St. Paul with his Grosvenor Square address in London hand-written, possibly by Stephenson, on the back cover, which also bears a Newcastle post mark dated January 29th 1817 and shows a delivery mileage of 277 miles. The controversy over who was first, Stephenson or Davy, to devise a workable miner’s safety lamp engendered much heated debate, at the time and subsequently. Although it was Davy’s lamp which was eventually the most widely used, modern opinion seems to confirm that Stephenson’s was the better design and more efficient lamp. Sir Horace St. Paul (1775-1840) was Member of Parliament for Bridport and his family seat was Ewart Park, near Berwick on Tweed. His interest in mining arose following his marriage in 1803 to the daughter of John Ward, 2nd Viscount Dudley, who had extensive mining interests on his Dudley estates. Ward endowed his daughter by granting St. Paul an interest in his Dudley coal fields. Using the new technology pioneered by Stephenson, St. Paul was able to drain the mines and extract coal from a greater depth than had hitherto been possible. The site of these operations – Bumble Hole – is now a nature reserve. £1,000.00 44: PETER HILL: Email: peterhill.books@btinternet.com LEE, Sophia. The Life of a Lover.In a series of letters.

A superb folio MANUSCRIPT MAP depicting the region from Sheffield and Chesterfield in the east to Buxton in the west. The great detail includes the country estates of Chatsworth and Haddon Hall near Bakewell. In the centre of the map is the little village of Eyam immortalised in history during the Great Plague of 1665. It arrived in the village in August of that year in a consignment of cloth sent from London. A few days later the tailor George Vicars to whom it was sent was its first victim. Showing the ultimate self sacrifice to stop the spread of the disease the villagers cut themselves off from the rest of the world. The Earl of Devonshire nearby freely supplied the village with food whilst it ran its course. Fourteen months later it claimed its last victim, a total of at least 260 had made that sacrifice. The proposed road runs south west out of Sheffield and is now known as the Abbeydale Road or the A621. The table comparing the distances of two different routes is upper centre. William Fairbank was part of a four generation family of local surveyors. The companies papers, maps, plans, books and letters are in the Sheffield City Archives. The tradition was begun by his grandfather William Fairbank I, born 1687/88. He was a schoolmaster from a family of Quaker’s said to be from Halifax. He practiced surveying from Sheffield. He died in 1759 leaving a son William Fairbank II (1730-1801) also a schoolmaster and surveyor. His son was William Fairbank III (1771?-1846) the author of this manuscript. He was trained by his father and went into partnership with his brother Josiah as W. and J. Fairbank of West Hill, Sheffield. Eden (1975); Leader, R. E.

He was apprenticed to a house-painter in York, where he lived in the parish of St Michael-le-Belfrey by the minster. By 1786 he had established himself as a drawing-master, and his practical skills and antiquarian knowledge commended him to John Carr, the architect, who employed him as clerk of works during the restoration of the minster in the early 1790s. Halfpenny was responsible for the sensitive repair of many of the decorative features in the minster, and he made careful drawings of much of the medieval detail. These drawings, which were often taken from the scaffolding erected for the restoration, were engraved by him and formed the basis of [the above work], which he published in twenty parts to subscribers between 1795 and 1800. The series, which comprised 175 details of ornament and four general views of the interior and chapter house, established his reputation and has subsequently been used as an important source for details lost or damaged by the minster fire of 1829. The engravings were reprinted in a single volume in 1807, and a second edition was published in 1831 shortly after the fire.

Referenced by: Herbert, A.S. Historical catalogue of printed editions of the English Bible 1525-1961. No. 1442. (Known as the Macklin Bible) & No. 1730 . ** Thomas Macklin (1752/3 - 1800) was a British eighteenth century print seller and picture dealer. Macklin married Hannah Kenting in 1777 and started a print selling business in London in 1779. His first year, his sold 7,000 copies of a print of Rear Admiral Richard Kempenfelt. In 1781, he inherited £20,000, which he used to speculate in the print market. Macklin is most famous for his Poet's Gallery, a project he announced on 1 January 1787. He planned to commission 100 paintings illustrating famous English poems, which he would publish monthly as engravings between 1790 and 1795. He also held an annual exhibition in Pall Mall, like John Boydell and his Shakespeare Gallery. However, the war with France cut into his profits, as prints could not be traded across the channel, and his partner, Edward Rogers, died. The project produced paintings by Joshua Reynolds, Henry Fuseli, Thomas Gainsborough, John Opie, Angelica Kauffmann, Thomas Stothard, and Francis Wheatley. Francesco Bartolozzi engraved most of the prints. Just two years after beginning the Poet's Gallery, Macklin undertook to publish an illustrated folio Bible in multiple volumes to promote "'the glory of the English school' of painting and engraving and 'the interest of our HOLY RELIGION'". A new typeface and a new kind of paper were designed for the work. The finished Bible had 72 prints, 16 of which were by Philippe Jacques de Louthenbourg. Many of the same artists who were participating in the Poet's Gallery worked on the Bible project. 703 people signed the subscription list, including George III. Macklin's Bible project was expensive to produce: he paid Reynolds £500 for his Holy Family, for example, and the total cost was estimated at £30,000. To realize this project, he was forced to sell some of the paintings from the Poet's Gallery by lottery in 1797. Macklin died on 25 October 1800, just five days after the last large engraving was finished for the Bible. The vignettes were not finished until six weeks later. According to the Dictionary of National Biography, "...the Macklin Bible endures as the most ambitious edition produced in Britain, often pirated but never rivaled." Macklin's influence was felt in the world of the arts not only as a publisher but also as a patron. The Dictionary of National Biography records that he may have spent as much as £300,000 as a patron of the arts." - See Wikipedia £2200.00 56: NANGLE RARE BOOKS: - Email: julian@nanglerarebooks.co.uk VIRGINIA WOOLF’S Room of One’s Own.

Very good, edges slightly chipped and bumped but a crisp and attractive set of images with well executed human figures in the foreground. William Hayward Brakspear (1818-1898) worked in the office of Charles Barry before he established his own practice in Manchester. His two sons - Hayward Richardson Brakspear (d.1899) and Sir Harold Brakspear, a noted architectural restorer (1870-1934) - were articled to the practice. There was an architectural competition for the Admiralty Building in 1884 and one can speculate about whether or not these fine drawings might have been produced for this competition. 77: GEORGE KELSALL: - Email: ben@bgk1967b.plus.com GRAY, George Robert.

Harding, 8vo, London 1814, a third edition being issued by the same printer in 1821... dismissed as “not likely to have added much to the knowledge of the subject”. Perhaps that was not the object. It may only have been to advise a limited public of what he thought.

Quarto, 12 unnumbered + 442 numbered leaves, with 100 very fine wood-engravings, page edges stained red, title printed in red & black. Dante's text neatly marooned in a sea of Christophoro Landino's commentary. In slightly rubbed full 17th century vellum, spine title gilt. There is an old paper repair to the lower margin of the first opening of the text (see photo), and 2 faded stamps on the title-page, but otherwise the book is in very crisp condition.

ULYSSES. John Lane the Bodley Head, 1936. No.181 from a total edition of 1000 copies. (One of 900 copies on Japon Vellum Paper bound in Linen Buckram, Unsigned). NOT a fine copy ! NOT in a dustwrapper ! Spine very very very very faded to brown from green, slight mottling to the outer edge of the front board - ripe for a swanky rebind. £999.00 This disgusting novel purports to describe a day in the life of a handful of Dublin degenerates as perverted as Mr.Joyce himself. It makes mockery of our Mother Church, and of everything that an Irishman holds dear. No wonder then that Mr.Joyce has fled to the Continent. Were he to be found walking the streets of Dublin it would the duty of every right-thinking Dubliner to give him a bloody nose ! Why a respectable English publisher should force us to dip into this filth remains a mystery - Mr.Lane should be severely reprimanded.

Pamphlet, 16 pages containing Mozley's 6 lithographs in sepia with facing text. Wrappers rather grubby, one lithograph very slightly creased. £200.00 The pamphlet was produced to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the first publication of the Bodley Head edition of Joyce's Ulysses. You might feel that with a nipple count of only one, Mozley has played a bit safe with his illustrations, but the book is certainly rather scarce. Rev.Jonathan Williams. THE HISTORY OF RADNORSHIRE. Subscription edition, 1905. Large quarto, 452 pages, many b&w illustrations. Full (modern ?) leather, black leather label, spine gilt. Covers slightly rubbed, otherwise a nice copy. Williams finished his history of the county in 1818 but could not find enough subscribers to subsidise its publication. Extracts from the text appeared in Archaeologia Cambrensis in 1859, but this would seem to be the first publication of the full text, with additions to cover the rest of the 19th century. The collation of this copy is very odd, although the prelims are present there does not appear to be a pukka title-page. The book is both very rare and very boring. £395.00 THE GYROSCOPE THROUGH THE AGES. The Sperry Gyroscope Company Ltd, Brentford, January, 1952. Pamphlet, 44 pages, many illustrations in blue & black.

Signed By The Author. £995.00 137: CHRIS PHILLIPS: - Email: batholdbooks@yahoo.co.uk Collectors of books about criminology will be familiar with the “Notable British Trials” series and I will be bringing to York a first edition of the volume about Harold Greenwood who was accused of poisoning his wife by arsenic. The case hinged on whether or not she had been killed by the arsenic found in her body and the book comes with a draft copy of pages 2-6 (of 6) of the forensic report drawn up by Dr. W. H. Wilcox, the Consulting Medical Adviser to the Home Office. The typescript is amended and signed by him. Older book collectors will remember the wall posters put up in primary school classrooms in the early 1950s featuring nursery rhymes, road safety advice, etc. and I will be bringing a small quantity of these very colourful lithographic posters to the bookfair. In a book containing a number of interesting clerical autographs and handwriting specimens, collected during the 19th century, is a rare example of the signature of Sir Joshua Reynolds, the portrait painter and first President of the Royal Academy. 138: MODERN FIRST EDITIONS: - Email: drchristianwhite@googlemail.com The Colossus, SYLVIA PLATH, William Heinemann, 1960 [8] pp 9-88 The annotations which appear to be written by a woman date from the early 1960s. Thus the annotator records on the verso of the final leaf of the book, ‘Coffee with Ted & Frieda June 13th 1961 at 116 Regent’s Park Rd. N.W.1., an address just around the corner from where Plath, Hughes and their daughter Frieda were living at the time. Another note in the margin of ‘Mushrooms’ records ‘Read personally, Feb 28th - World of Books - the clipped reading - Ted and she are awfully alike, but she’s wildly maniacally original, and obsesses. He’s in control...’ The printed dedication to the book ‘For Ted’ is underlined three times with “7 yrs; vampire?” written underneath. Throughout the book there are marginal underlinings and emphasis marks, with a list of poems and brief commentary written on the front free endpaper. Taped to the top of the page is the article entitled ‘A Poet’s Epitaph’ printed in The Observer of February 1963 which was written by Plath’s friend Al Alvarez. Famously the article concludes ‘The loss to literature is inestimable’. Setting aside the annotations the book is in near Fine condition. The green buckram binding and gilt spine lettering are bright and the text clean. The Dustjacket is complete with some browning to the spine and minor discolouration to the front. There is a closed 4cm tear along the hinge at the top left of the front panel. Overall the jacket is probably near Very Good. There remains significant potential for future research into the owner of the book and her relationship with Plath and Hughes. £1,250.00A scarce example of the Bishop’s Bible in Richard Jugge’s edition of 1577. The Bishop’ A THANKYOU GIFT INSCRIBED BY E M FORSTER E M Forster, Abinger Harvest, Edward Arnold, 1957 in DJ,[4] pp 5-400 A charmingly inscribed example of this collection of E M Forster's shorter writings. Forster has written a gift inscription to his friends Faith and Michael Culme-Seymour on the front free end-paper 'For Faith With love to you and to Michael from Morgan after his visit and his (safe) return May 27th 1959'. Additionally the author has crossed out his printed name on the title page and signed it below. The Culme-Seymours lived at Rockingham Castle in Northamptonshire and this book is presumably Forster's thank you present sent after a visit. The couple appear to have become close to Forster in the late 50s and an extensive correspondence involving all three of them is divided between the archive of King's College, Cambridge and the Mary Lago collection at the University of Missouri. Forster has added one more annotation at the foot of the inscribed front free endpaper with a penned reference 'see p.380'. This reveals Forster's discussion of the reasoning behind war at the beginning of 'Hymn before Action'. It seems likely to allude to a conversation held during Forster's visit touching upon Michael Culme Seymour's distinguished naval service during the second world war. The book is near Fine in condition with bright olive green boards and gilt lettering in a Good Dustjacket that is browned and folded. £650.00 139: BOOKLORE: - Email:ralphcorbett944@btinternet.com BURTON, Richard F.
