GLOUCESTERSHIRE. G. NAYLER
A Collection of Coats of Arms borne by the Nobility and Gentry of the County of Glocester Gloucester. RARE GLOUCESTERSHIRE ARMORIAL IN ORIGINAL BOARDS
J Good 1792. Sm. folio First and Sole Edition with copper-engraved illustrated title and 62 fine copper-engraved plates showing 372 coats of arms some mild age-staining mainly marginal and a few leaves with inoffensive worming in lower blank margin; publisher's boards cloth back very neatly recased new paper label a very good relatively clean copy. This copy is complete with all plates; it has been bound without the introduction and list of subscribers that are sometimes present.This very scarce work is generally attributed including Halkett & Laing to Sir George Nayler Garter King-at-Arms but DNB states 'it was in reality the work of one Ames an engraver at Bristol' an opinion shared by Moule. Anderson adds that the arms are taken 'chiefly from Atkyns's and Rudder's histories'.The title-vignette shows Time as an angel supporting the ancient arms of the City of Gloucester with the cathedral in the distance.Anderson p.106; Austin 12084; Moule DCXCII p.469; Upcott Gloucestershire VIII p.264.

Harpur Trust Bedford 1973 first edition. 191 pp small 4to 10" H hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0950291706 Map endpapers. B&w plates. "On 27 February 1574 died Sir William Harpur - a Bedford boy who went to London became Lord Mayor and endowed his old school. On 4 August 1873 Qu een Victoria approved a revision of the scheme under which the Harpur Trust operates. This book traces in lively detail the educational battles of the past up to those of today. It shows how the Trust till 1897 supplied practically all Be d f o r d ' s e ducation. It describes how government intervention obliged the Trust to concentrate on four main schools which have since become know all over the world. The subject matter goes beyond Bedford and Bedfordshire. The book oulines th e ba si s fo r t he Trust's work the development of farmland in the village of Holborn to becoming part of the heart of London. This endowment has made the Trust one of the most important educational foundations in the country. Comparisons wi th ot her sc ho ols i nd ica te the rich complexity of England's educational system. The influx of service and professional families brought to Bedford boys and girls who later served country and Commonwealth and an appendix gives some indicatio n o f t heir ran ge of s erv ice ."

Goddard Henry with an introduction by Patrick Pringle
MEMOIRS OF A BOW STREET RUNNER
New York: William Morrow and Company 1956. HC. good w/lightly chipped dustjacket hardcover LIBRARY BOOKPLATE. B&W frontis. This book is unique and probably always will be. It is the first autobiography of a Bow Street Runner ever to be published; and it is unlikely there will be another now. The Runners were disbanded in 1839 and if any of Goddard's colleagues wrote their memoirs they are hardly likely to have survived. This book goes some way to restoring them to life.The full story of the Bow Street Runners is lost for ever because the main materials no longer exist. Almost all the official records were destroyed - not by accident or policy but simply because they were not thought worth keeping - when the Bow Street Police Office moved across the road in 1881." 253pp. William Morrow and Company unknown
