HORNBY (Thomas)
Dissertation on Lime, and its use and abuse in Agriculture, embracing a view of its chemical effects, illustrated by collateral remarks and observations.
First edition, 27, [1]pp., presentation inscription from the author at head of title-page (slightly cropped), text lightly age toned, disbound. The rare first edition by the York surgeon who was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. "I have been unable to find a copy of the first edition... the second edition of which was printed by J. 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. Hornby was a friend of Dr. Hunter, and he had a very real appreciation of the value of the developing science of chemistry to the farmer."?Fussell. No first edition recorded on Copac; OCLC locates the National Agricultural Library (America) & Institute of Social Studies (The Netherlands) copies only. Fussell, p.105-6; Perkins, 821 & 822 (second and third editions only); Goldsmiths'-Kress, 20909 (second edition).

Horne, Charles F.; Hess, Selmar.
GREAT MEN AND FAMOUS WOMEN. A Series of Pen and Pencil Sketches of More than 200 of the Most Prominent Personages in History. Soldiers and Sailors, Statesmen and Sages, Workmen and Heroes, Artists and Authors. ORIGINAL PARTS ISSUE.
Issued (by subscription) in sixty-eight (68) original parts. Large 4to. 240 x 310 mm. Paper wraps, somewhat worn with soiling and loss to a few parts. Each part contains 3 full-page engravings (one which is photogravure by Messrs. Goupil & Co. of Paris or other eminent makers) plus 24 pages of biography, illustrated with monochrome sketches. The contributors were also famous persons, and include: Theodore Roosevelt; H. Rider Haggard; Henry George; Margaret Sangster; Harriet Prescott Spofford; Albion Tourgee; Ella Wheeler Wilcox; Edward Everett Hale; Hans Christian Andersen; Thomas Carlyle; Will Carleton; Edward Everett Hale; William Lloyd Garrison; and many others. Books in parts are works which were published piecemeal (mainly in the 19th century) over a period of months or years. Each unit usually having a separate magazine-like cover. This method of publishing benefited the publisher as it was thought that the price of a weekly or monthly part at one shilling or a quarter was affordable to a wider readership than the price of pound sterling or $ 5.00 for a bound volume. They also qualified for mailing at a cheaper rate. Since they were meant to be bound by the purchaser, very few have survived into our present era. This edition apparently not in Arents (1957). Complete sets in this form are RARE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PARTS 1

Hugh Williamson (1918-1992), book designer with Oxford University Press and author on printing [Andrew Block, London bookseller]
‘I can’t really afford even a guinea for a book’: Hugh Williamson Oxford University Press book designer. Autograph Letter Signed to London bookseller Andrew Block describing his collecting interests and constraints and giving a wants list .
Undated; on letterhead of the Oxford University Press Warehouse and Trade Department London. See Nicolas Barker’s typically-elegant obituary of Williamson in the Independent. 2pp 4to. The obituary of the recipient Andrew Block 1892-1987 in ‘The Private Library’ was subtitled ‘the doyen of booksellers’; his business was established in 1911. On aged and worn paper; folded three times. Signed ‘Hugh Williamson:’ and addressed to ‘Mr Block’. Thirty-one lines in a close calligraphic hand. Having been ‘particularly lucky’ every time he has called on Block and having acquired ‘the 12mo Baskerville the Pickering in Caslon’s types and the plays printed by John Bell’ on his last visit he asks him to ‘keep an eye open for one or two cheap items’. Before giving a list of books he ‘particularly’ needs from the Aldine Press to Baskerville he describes his interest ‘in the development of roman and italic types which means that most of the books I need were printed before the end of the 18th century. On the other hand I can’t really afford even a guinea for a book unless it’s the kind of thing I could sell again for as much as I gave in case of need. The result is that I’m willing to put up with bad condition in the binding missing plates and text pages etc which might put off the “proper†collector.’ Undated; on letterhead of the Oxford University Press Warehouse and Trade Department, London. unknown
