Westwood & Satchell. <br/><br/>PRESENTATION COPY INSCRIBED TO HIS WIFE:<br/>"For my beloved wife Margaret B.

MacKay George Henry
Shooting Journal of George Henry Mackay 1865-1922. Edited by John C. Phillips with a four page Introduction by him.
Cambridge Massachusetts: Privately Printed for John C. Phillips by The Cosmos Press 1929. First Edition. One of 300 copies. Portrait frontispiece plates from photographs. 373 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Original cloth-backed marbled boards. Fine. First Edition. One of 300 copies. Portrait frontispiece plates from photographs. 373 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. One of the interesting and uncommon privately printed volumes edited by John C. Phillips. George Mackay born 1843 worked with his father in the India trade and went round the Horn several times. He was an avid sportsman in Massachusetts and along the eastern seaboard of America. He spent portions of each year on Nantucket - he married Maria Starbuck - and on West Island Rhode Island. In later life Mackay became very active in efforts to preserve breeding colonies of birds when the feather craze threatened them with extinction. Mackay effectively abandoned shooting after 1897 then resumed the journal in 1921-2. His journal serves as a long-running observation of natural conditions on Nantucket and West Island and a record of sport in a vanished era. Biscotti p. 342 Privately Printed for John C. Phillips by The Cosmos Press unknown books

BROADSIDE Fencing
Angelo's Infantry Sword Exercise; Established by the Prince Regent's Command
By Authority W. Clowes 1816. The Figures by I. J. A. Atkinson Engraved by I. Robinson with hand-colour. Large broadside 31" x 21. The Figures by I. J. A. Atkinson Engraved by I. Robinson with hand-colour. Large broadside 31" x 21" Highly attractive instructional single-sheet. Along the top are a series of figures showing the "Preparatory Movements" or postures beneath is a large circular "target" with the directions of the seven cuts and guards together with the words of command for the Infantry Sword Exercise. The figures are by John Augustus Atkinson who was noted for his "spirited and lifelike" figure-drawing; "His figures artistically arrested in movement show rather an actor's sensibility than a draughtsman's skill. " DNB Here he shows a range of contemporary infantry uniforms including the Rifle Brigade and a Highlander. <br/>Angelo's Fencing Academy was established in 1759 by Domenico Angelo Malevolti Tremamondo who had first established himself in London as a riding master. Angelo as he became known set up a highly fashionable "école d'escrime" in Soho which enjoyed the patronage of the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Devonshire. Such was his perceived authority in the area of the art of the fence that the plates of his L'École d'Armes were reproduced in the Encyclopédie illustrative of the section on "Escrime." Angelo's eldest son Henry who had put the final polish on his fencing skills studying in Paris under Motet became virtual head of his father's académie around 1785 and continued its reputation as "not only a school-of-arms but as a school of deportment as well" Aylward The House of Angelo p. 38. In turn Henry's son also named Henry inherited the business when his father "retired from ther active conduct of the school" in 1817 DNB.<br/>The present item is dedicated "To Field Marshal His Royal Highness The Duke of York. by Henry Angelo Junr." who we must presume to be the latter Henry despite the dating to 1816. At this stage in the history of the House of Angelo it was probably unnecessary for him to seek patronage with a well-placed dedication and in 1833 he was appointed Superintendent of Sword Exercise in the Army. However it does appears that this was based entirely on personal merit his method being such that "even the soldiers themselves are anxious to learn it" Aylward p. 190. <br/>A wonderful survival of the Angelo dynasty a school-of-arms that became "in the end nothing less than a British Institution" ibid. p. 183.

Grand Gordon
The Silver Horn and Other Sporting Tales of John Weatherford
New York: The Derrydale Press 1932. First Edition one of 950 copies. With 6 drawings by J. Alden Twachtman. WITH FINE FORE-EDGE PAINTING OF A RACE OVER TIMBER SIGNED BY F.R. CROSS. 1 vols. 8vo. Original red boards gilt spine. THE ONLY COPY WE HAVE EVER SEEN WITH ALL EDGES GILT. This must be a unique copy but done by the original edition binders because the pastedown and endpapers are the same as the regular edition. Bookplate. Laid into quarter crimson morocco slipcase and chemise. CROSS F.R. First Edition one of 950 copies. With 6 drawings by J. Alden Twachtman. WITH FINE FORE-EDGE PAINTING OF A RACE OVER TIMBER SIGNED BY F.R. CROSS. 1 vols. 8vo. WITH SIGNED FORE-EDGE PAINTING UNDER GILT EDGES. One of the most successful Derrydale titles and though a collection of stories a leading candidate for The Great American Sporting Novel. We know of no other Derrydale book with fore-edge painting; it was possibly done at the behest of Eugene V. Connett III the proprietor of the Press perhaps as a gift. The painting appears to illustrate the climatic racing scene from the story "Enid Ashley's Knight Errant" which appears in the book. <br/>UNIQUE.
