KING (Daniel)
The Vale Royall of England. Or, The County Palatine of Chester Illustrated. Wherein is contained a Geographical and Historical Description of that Famous County, with all its Hundreds and Seats of the Nobility, Gentry, and Freeholders; its Rivers, Towns, Castles, Buildings Ancient and Modern. Adorned with Maps and Prospects, and the Coats of Arms belonging to every individual Family of the whole County... Also, An Excellent Discourse of the Island of Man; Treating of the Island. Of the Inhabitants. Of the State Ecclesiasticall. Of the Civil Government. Of the Trade; and, Of the Strength of the Island.
First edition, small folio (285 x 180 mm), [12], 99, [7], 239, [11], 55, [1], [6], 34pp., signature A incorrectly bound in after signature B, complete with the engraved title page, the printed title page, a double-page engraved map of Chester, a double-page engraved plan and inset prospect of Chester by Wenceslaus Hollar, a double-page engraved map of the Isle of Man with 8 inset prospects, 2 double-page engraved plates (one with repair to a closed tear), 15 other engraved plates, including armorial plates, and engravings in the text, small piece of blank lower corn of title page torn-away, finely bound in nineteenth-century green straight-grained morocco, gilt tooled dentelles, boards with a gilt roll tooled floral border, spine with five raised bands, two compartments lettered in gilt direct, others ornately tooled, all edges gilt, fine. Frances Mary Richarson Currer's copy in a fine morocco binding. A choice copy with a fine provenance and bound in a sumptuous full green morocco binding. "In 1656 King published in London The Vale-Royall of England, or, The County Palatine of Chester Illustrated, for which he wrote the preface. In it he printed for the first time two essays on Chester written by William Smith and William Webb more than forty years earlier, as well as an essay on the Isle of Man by James Chaloner. This book was illustrated with etchings mostly by Wenceslaus Hollar, which were unsigned and for this reason have often been attributed to King himself."?(Oxford DNB). Frances Mary Richardson Currer (1785-1861) was England's earliest female bibliophile and was described by Dibdin as the "head of all female book collectors in Europe.". Currer inherited both the library of her great grandfather, Richard Richardson (1663-1741) and her grandfather Mathew Wilson of Eshton Hall. With the additions added by Currer the library became of considerable importance, and in its day, it was surpassed only by those of Earl Spencer, the duke of Devonshire, and the duke of Buckingham. Most of the books in her library were auctioned at Sotheby's in 1862, realising ?6,000. A second sale took place in 1916 which raised more than ?3700, and the residue of her library was sold in 1979 and 1994. Provenance: Contemporary signature of Joseph Hopkinson to head of engraved title; The front pastedown has the armorial bookplates of Mathew Wilson and his grand-daughter Frances Mary Richardson Currer. Wing, K488; Upcott I, p.61; Cubbon I, p.461.

KING E.
Old Times Re-visited in the Borough and Parish of Lymington, Hants. Second Edition. FROM THE LIBRARY OF PROFESSOR BILES OF THE 'TITANIC' ENQUIRY
Roy. 8vo., Second and Best Edition, with portrait frontispiece, title in red and black, and 21 plates (one double-page); original buckram gilt, gilt back, bevelled edges, uncut, covers lightly age-marked else a very good, internally spotless copy. King's work, first published in 1879, immediately established itself as the standard popular reference on the ancient New Forest town; local interest generated the inevitable additions and corrections, but the planned second edition, incorporating the numerous addenda, was deferred by the author's death. This best edition, compiled and published by the author's son from his father's meticulous notes, benefits from much new material and many fresh illustrations. This copy was formerly in the library of Professor [Sir] J H Biles, the eminent naval architect [of 'Titanic' Enquiry fame], and bears his elegant blind-embossed art nouveau bookplate (with press-mark in manuscript) on front paste-down. John Harvard Biles (1854-1933) was apprenticed at Portsmouth Dockyard, studied at the Royal School of Naval Architecture and joined the Admiralty in 1877. His talents were quickly recognised and in 1880 (at the age of only 26) he was appointed chief designer to the major shipbuilder J&G Thomson on Clydebank where he created the revolutionary designs for the 'City of Paris' and 'City of New York'. In 1883 he left to join the foundling consultancy established by Sir Edward Reed, where he quickly became a driving force (the consultancy continues to the present day as Sir J H Biles & Co.). In 1891 he was awarded the Chair of Naval Architecture at Glasgow University (then perhaps the most prestigious such appointment in the world) where he devoted himself to teaching and consultancy on a world-wide scale. IN VIEW OF HIS EMINENCE IN THE FIELD OF SHIP DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION, PROFESSOR BILES WAS AN ASSESSOR IN THE ENQUIRY INTO THE LOSS OF RMS 'TITANIC' AND SUBSEQUENTLY HE SERVED ON THE BOARD OF TRADE ENQUIRY INTO LIFEBOATS AND LIFE-SAVING APPLIANCES WHICH AROSE AS A RESULT OF THE TITANIC LOSS. For his services to the 'Titanic' Enquiry and naval architecture in general, Biles was knighted in 1913

Knollys, Major Henry.
English Life in China.
Octavo. Pp. ix, 333, (6) publisher's catalogue. Half-title present. Hardcover, bound in the original publisher's full brown cloth, upper cover and spine lettered and decorated in gilt and black, some stray spots on back cover, floral endpapers, trimmed rough, spine ends very lightly bumped, inner hinges about starting. In fine condition. Excellent copy, bright and fresh, beautifully preserved interior. ~ First edition. Sir Henry Knollys (1840-1930) served as a major in the Royal Artillery, later became private secretary to King Edward's daughter Maud, queen of Norway. He was a descendant to a distinguished British family. Sir Francis Knollys (1514-1596) was an English statesman, became a member of parliament in 1542 and was knighted in 1547. His father, Robert Knollys, a courtier in the service of both Henry VII and Henry VIII. Sir Francis's three sons were all courtiers and served Queen Mary in parliament or in the field. Henry Knollys published extensively; on "English Life in China" he said: "The statements contained in this book have, at all events, the advantage of having been recorded on the spot, and at the time when they were originally deduced. Taken down day by day in shorthand, I venture to hope that the opinions may possess the freshness, sometimes so conductive to accuracy, of first impressions; while the authenticity of the facts has been safe-guarded by subsequent careful revision."
