Views of the Parish Churches in York; with a Short Account of Each
First and only edition of this collection of carefully rendered yet somewhat naive lithographic views of York churches. 23 plates, including the frontispiece, each accompanied by a page of letterpress description. Complete with the 24th and final plate, which was published as an afterthought and thus is not included in the list of plates. A LARGE-PAPER COPY, WITH THE PLATES IN INDIA PROOF STATE. With the bookplate of John Tricks Spalding. 4to. Attractively bound in 19th century half crushed morocco and cloth, WITH SPALDING'S INITIALS, IN STYLIZED LETTERS, BEAUTIFULLY LAID INTO THE FRONT COVER IN MOROCCO. Light wear to extremities of binding, light occasional internal spotting. Plates bright and fine. A very good copy of a rare book.

Melling, Antoine-Ignace, Joseph-Antoine Cervini, Victor Petit, Eugene Ciceri, Andre Gorse, et al.
Voyage pittoresque dans les Pyrenees francais [with] Souvenirs des Pyrenees [with] Bagneres de Luchon et ses environs [with] Les Pyrenees dessinees d'apres nature [with] Alpes et Pyrenees
AN IMPORTANT COLLECTION, IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, OF 19TH-CENTURY DEPICTIONS OF PYRENEAN SCENERY, executed in lithography (often hand-colored), aquatint, and engraving. ***(1) An unusually fine set of Melling's large folio "Voyage pittoresque dans les Pyrenees francais" (1826-1830), complete with 72 delicate aquatints, a map, a lithographed portrait of the artist, and the text by Cervini. Attractively bound and with clean, unfoxed plates (most unusual for this book). ***(2) TWO fine sets of Victor Petit's folio "Souvenirs des Pyrenees", with about 50 lithographs per set. The first set is beautifully hand-colored on fine wove paper; the second set uncolored on chine. As usual with these albums, the sets offer interesting bibliographical differences. ***(3) Two beautiful sets (30 lithographs per set) of Petit's folio "Bagneres de Luchon et ses environs", one colored and one uncolored on chine. ***(4) Two excellent (and different) complete sets of Ciceri's "Les Pyrenees dessinees d'apres nature", both very fresh, in their original bindings. ***(5) Two copies (one colored, one uncolored) of "Alpes et Pyrenees" (1842), both in publisher's cloth. ***(6) Several additional albums by Gorse (two, one with rectangular lithographs and one with oval), Allom, and others, including a few miniature albums. Many of these items are quite rare, and all are in very good condition. Several hundred prints in all. An outstanding collection. (I may consider selling one or more items separately. Please enquire.)

Brady, Robert
An Introduction to the Old English History, Comprehended in Three Several Tracts: An Answer to Mr Petyt's Rights of the Commons Asserted; An Answer to a Book Intitled Argumentum Antinormanicum; The Exact History of the Succession of the Crown of En
FIRST AND ONLY EDITION of this extremely important compilation of legal and historical writings relating to English legal and political history from Anglo-Saxon times down to the Civil War. 12, 412, 60, 68, 15 pp. LEAVES Nn3 AND Qq4 ARE BOTH PRESENT IN TWO STATES (CANCELLANDUM AND CANCELLANS). This bibliographical quirk is entirely unrecorded: no source mentions any cancels in this volume. Each of the three tracts has a separate title-page, but the pagination is continuous. Printed mainly in Roman types, but with many words and phrases printed in black letter (Gothic) types. The appendix is taken entirely from the Domesday book, and is thus in Latin. The extensive glossary (68 pp) represents an important advance in English legal lexicography. Many terms in this glossary are given in Anglo-Saxon and Middle English. Folio. Beautifully bound in 19th-century half morocco and marbled boards. Binding somewhat worn at extremities, but still very solid and attractive. Internally FINE AND BRIGHT. A rare and important book, perhaps unique in this state.
