RICKMAN Thomas
An Attempt to Discriminate the Styles of English Architecture. Second Edition. [with] An Elucidation of the Principles of Architecture usually denominated Gothic. First Edition.. An Attempt to Discriminate the Styles of English Architecture. Second Edition [ with] KENDALL. An Elucidation of the Principles of Architecture usually denominated Gothic. First Edition. AN UNUSUAL GOTHIC 'DOUBLE'
2 works in one vol. 8vo., with an engraved frontispiece and 13 engraved plates (first work) and 23 engraved plates (second work), some very light spotting (mainly marginal) on plates; handsomely bound in twentieth century half calf, marbled boards, back ruled, tooled and lettered in gilt, a highly attractive bright, crisp copy, ideal as a gift or for presentation. Since the binding is lettered only for the Rickman it is possible that a previous owner did not realise that TWO important works are present here (the latter, unnamed, work being much the scarcer).Rickman provided the first systematic treatise on Gothic architecture in England. Its influence was profound, for his terminology was employed by virtually all subsequent writers; much of it, indeed, is still current today. First published in 1817 in Liverpool (where the present issue was compiled), one of its most valuable features was its descriptive list of (over 800) extant buildings illustrating the principles of English architecture and helpfully arranged by county. In this updated edition the number of buildings is greatly enlarged. Kendall's VERY SCARCE analysis is based on the ornaments, arches, columns etc., of Exeter Cathedral; the work is intended for practising architects who are taught the main elements which must be followed meticulously to achieve the pure pointed style. Kendall (1766-1829) was Surveyor of Exeter Cathedral and responsible for much restoration after about 1805. His important work was reissued once only, by Bohn in 1842. A FINE OPPORTUNITY TO ACQUIRE TWO KEY AND BEAUTIFULLY ILLUSTRATED GOTHIC TEXTS IN A SINGLE, HANDSOME BINDING.

WALSH J.H.
The English Housekeeper's Book: being practical Advice for purchasing the Supplies of the House, and for Brewing, Baking, Preserving and Pickling at Home. WANTING ONE LEAF BUT EXCESSIVELY SCARCE
8vo., First Edition, with engraved frontispiece and 13 engraved plates, title and fore-edges mildly spotted, recipe in a neat contemporary hand on frontispiece recto; original dark green pebble-grain cloth, red roan back, wanting B7 (pp. 15-16), neatly rebacked with large fragments of old backstrip gilt laid down, yellow endpapers, a very good, firm copy of a very scarce work. RARE; AND APPARENTLY UNRECORDED IN THIS GUISE. This may well be a third edition, with an original title, of Walsh's 'English Cookery Book'. This latter work was first published in 1858 (Cagle 1045) with a second edition in 1859 (see Simon BG 1595). A possible substantiation is that all three works acknowledge [in the title] the assistance of 'a committee of ladies'. The present work is considerably more illustrated. Further to confuse, Walsh states in his Preface (dated 1857) that the present work, together with its possible forbears, are all themselves extracted from his 'Manual of Domestic Economy', the bibliography of which is equally labyrinthine. Not in BLPC; Cagle (but see 1045); Simon BG (but see 1595). We have able to find no copy in any of the standard bibliographies.

THE FIRST SYSTEMATIC TREATISE ON GOTHIC ARCHITECTURE IN ENGLAND, and by far the most influential - Rickman's nomenclature was adopted by most subsequent writers and continues in use to this day. The work was first published in Liverpool in 1817 instancing 833 examples, with a second, slightly larger version appearing two years later. The present edition lists well over 3000 buildings (mainly churches), the majority inspected personally by Rickman, AND EXTENDS THE SCOPE OF THE WORK TO INCLUDE IRELAND, SCOTLAND AND WALES. This is the penultimate edition published during the author's lifetime and includes new lithographed plates by the author. A most attractive copy. See Eastlake pp.122-126.

The text was corrected, the county list of abbies made more complete and the index entirely remade and extended. The illustrations in particular were completely overhauled, omitting several and substituting others deemed more suitable or informative. In this wartime second impression, gone alas, is the laid paper of the earlier work, but this is a bright copy nevertheless.
