Description:
London: Macmillan and Co., 1906.. viii,314,[2]pp. Gilt decorated medium blue cloth. A few stray marks to cloth, slight tanning to endsheets, otherwise a very good copy. Fifth printing of the fourth edition of this popular consideration of aspects of the life and religion of Burma. This copy is inscribed on the half-title: "Francis H Bacon from Claude Bragdon Jan. 1908." The donor, Claude Bragdon (1866 - 1946), was an accomplished poet, architect, designer and student of esoteric practices. He helped translate and wrote an Introduction to P.D. Ouspensky's TERTIUM ORGANUM. Francis H. Bacon (1856-1940) was an architect, designer, and archaeologist. Further, this copy also bears the later ink ownership signature on the front free endsheet of poet / publisher James Laughlin, who likely found this text of particular interest as background for his work in Burma in association with the Ford Foundation.

Description:
London: Printed for A. Hamilton, January - December 1772.. Volume title and frontis, 716,[12]pp. including Supplement, plus Appendix ([3],*284 - 328*). Octavo. Very neatly disbound. Short worm- track in lower margin of frontis and volume title, otherwise very good and crisp. The complete volume for the year, including the Supplement and the Appendix. All plates and portraits are present, but the July issue seems to be wanting the engraved "Celebrated Epigram Set to Music." Several of the engraved plates are after Gravelot. Founded in 1769, Hamilton's periodical is now best known for having published a substantial number of contributions by Thomas Chatterton during 1769 and 1770. In its original incarnation, it persisted until December 1796, offering along with the usual array of political news, records of deaths and bankruptcies and the like, a large component of poetry, popular and occasionally risqué anecdote, satire and fiction. The volume frontis includes in the background a Satyr exposing… Read More

Description:
Dublin: Printed by Samuel Fairbrother ..., 1714.. iv,18pp. Small quarto. Disbound. Unfortunately quite grubby, discolored and worn, with chip to terminal leaf affecting two words on E1r, along with a small pinhole affecting one word, lacking b1 (a later insertion) but a functionally complete copy of a rare book. First (and only) contemporary edition of this memorial poem to Sir Francis Hamilton, 3rd Baronet (c. 1640 -1714), MP for Country Cavan. Foxon and ESTC report an elusive leaf printing 'verse to the reader' that appears to have been a late addition to at least one copy-- it is not present here. Pages 15-18 carry a poem, "To the Honourable The Lady Hamilton." A rather dim copy (at best), but ESTC locates only two copies: BL and Trinity College Library. OCLC/WORLDCAT only summons up records for digital or microform holdings. ESTC T40561. FOXON M470.

Description:
[New York & Brooklyn], [nd. but likely not later than 1907].. [2],251 leaves. Quarto. Closely typed double-spaced (with stretches of single-spaced) carbon typescript, on rectos only, with a small handful of corrections in ink. Bradbound in worn faux-leather over boards binder. Pastedowns of binder chipped and partially detached, typescript generally in very good order. A typescript of this unpublished collaborative novel cowritten by the pioneering female war journalist and suffragette and her socialist husband. Hamm (1867-1907) went to Cuba and Puerto Rico to cover the Spanish-American war. She also volunteered as a nurse for the Cuban national guard. Based on these experiences, Hamm wrote a number of books and articles about the war and its political consequences, as well as books examining the New York and American moneyed classes. She died of pneumonia at the age of 40. McMahon (1875 - 1956) met Hamm in the course of his own work as a war correspondent and they married days after Hamm's divorce… Read More

[Lexington, KY: Press of Carolyn Reading, 1954].. Cinnamon brown paper over boards, edges untrimmed, printed spine label. Spine extremities worn with surface crack along lower joint, slight tanning/foxing at extreme edges, small smudge on upper board, internally very good. First edition, edited and printed by Carolyn Hammer. One of only 100 copies printed in Victor Hammer's American Uncial type. Inscribed on the front free endsheet by Carolyn Reading (who would marry Victor Hammer in 1955): "for Rowley Atterbury January 1955 from Carolyn Reading." A fragile and uncommon production. Atterbury, founder of the Westerham Press, "ran one of Britain's most important postwar commercial printers, and was one of the first people to see the potential of computers to transform its work. Despite modest beginnings - when he borrowed £200 to set up as a jobbing printer in a garden shed - he took a lead in the transition from an analog to a digital industry. By 1976, when he printed a booklet for the 500th… Read More

Description:
[Florence: Stamperia del Santuccio, 1931/2].. [30]pp. Small quarto. Drab boards, printed spine label. Boards and label a trifle tanned and worn, light but persistent foxing, but a very good copy of a fragile book. OPUS II of Victor Hammer's first press, inscribed and signed by him in Kolbsheim, Alsace, in 1936. He had reestablished the press there in 1935 on the estate of his friend, Alexandre de Grunelius, who had commissioned him to build and paint a private chapel. The edition consisted of only 69 copies printed in black and red in Hammer's beautiful Samson Uncial type, five of them on Japanese paper, and the remainder on Magnani paper. This is one of fourteen paper copies reserved as unnumbered 'seconds.' Fritz Arnold assisted Hammer in the printing of this edition. Hammer returned to this text in 1938 and with Jacob Hammer's assistance, printed another edition consisting of 12 copies. Holbrook notes that there was not an edition binding but the spine label is formally set for that purpose.… Read More
