The 2nd title with novice golf pro Lee Ofsted and homicide detective Graham Sheldon. SIGNED COPY signature only by the author on the title page. "Exhibiting admirable follow-through the authors of A Wicked Slice bring back young golf-pro/sleuth Lee Ofsted in a classic cozy that draws extra appeal from its golf-tour milieu. After a record opening-day round at New Mexico's Cottonwood Creek Country Club Lee is out front in the Women's Professional Golf League High Desert tournament. But the twinge of tennis elbow that bothered her on the 17th hole flares after she attempts CPR on a man she finds on the course apparently the victim of a lightning strike. Unable to save Ted Guthrie the antagonistic president of Cottonwood Creek's board of directors Lee can't swing a club either. Withdrawing from the tournament she goes to work with the TV crew covering the tour and is thus on the scene when venerable sports announcer Boyd Marriner dies in the cafeteria. Using her TV role as an investigative cover Lee probes both deaths joined in her sleuthing by her boyfriend Graham Sheldon a California cop who comes to visit. The pursuit of a killer leads to nighttime danger on the high desert golf course before the game and winning Lee can resolve the puzzles of both the homicides and her heart." -- PUBLISHERS WEEKLY.

A charming tribute with subtle overtures from three Swedish bachelors living in Mexico to three California sisters whose hunting prowess was described in an article in the "Mexican Herald." Headlined "Three California Dianas.

The letter reads in part: ".we think it would interest you to know that your bravery and pluck are known even outside your own Country . We have read and reread the article and . we could not restrain ourselves from sending our respects. Down here you would find a great field for your guns. We have all kinds of big game . it is nothing unusual to meet an 8 or 9 feet sic tiger on the roads when we are out riding. We will described one of our hunting experiences that might interest you." The letter goes on to relate how after wounding and trailing a deer towards a lagoon "a big Puma jumped out from the jungle and pounced upon our poor wounded deer. A rifleshot and we had both deer and Puma." The letter continues: "We are three Swedes 26 28 & 31 years old and run a fruit plantation in partnership in the district of Huasteca on the shores of the beautiful Panuco river. We have been here only 5 months but we have found the prospects for the future very bright. We would greatly enjoy a few lines from you as to ascertain whether our epistle ever reached you . and if the article is a ghost-story or not." They close "With admiration for the 3 brave Dianas in California. unknown

LEILA ADA, THE JEWISH CONVERT: AN AUTHENTIC MEMOIR.
Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1853. 12mo. Vii, 230 pages. First edition. Tissued frontispiece engraving of Leila Ada, inscribed "Yours in Jesus, Leila Ada. " A quote from the first chapter: "The Mishna is said to be an oral law, received from the lips of God, and intended as an exponent of his written law. But we should transgress the purity which religion demands, were we to quote some of its puerile and absurd follies. If those who penned it set about their work with an intention to shock common sense, and load the Jewish religion with contempt, they could scarcely have acquitted themselves better. And let no one suppose that our strictures are unkind: any one at all acquainted with the Mishna, will at once perceive them to be within the bounds of that charity and pity, which we owe to those who err. Indeed, it were but too easy to quote passages which would justify our severest censures. But withal, the Mishna is surrounded with a degree of obscurity and hardness, owing to its orientalisms, and a considerable pervasion of a sort of Hebræo-Grecism in its structure. This obscurity has given rise to another commentary, called the Gemara, or completion. One Gemara, written in Palestine, forms with the Mishna, the Jerusalem Talmud, and another, written at Babylon, composes the Babylonish Talmud, Thus the Mishna, which the Jews declare to be God's own interpretation of his law, requires interpretation from man, and the whole together forms a mighty work of twelve folio volumes. These are the volumes which contain the whole of the Jewish divinity; for, dishonouring to God, they have almost completely withdrawn the Jews from the study of Moses and the Prophets. In common with the rest of her nation, the Talmud formed the basis of Leila's religious education. Of the Old Testament she knew comparatively little. It is far from certain, indeed, that she knew a great deal of the Talmud. For this there were causes: -first, she did not like its study: she tells us in her Reflections, that while believing in its divinity, as she was instructed, she experienced a smothered dislike to many of its forms, observances, and precepts. 'I felt it, ' she says, 'smouldering at the bottom of my heart long before I had moral courage to permit a single thought upon it. I shuddered at my suspicions as blasphemous, yet I could not conquer them. But as the Spirit of God opened my eyes, I felt no difficulty in fully avowing my severest thoughts upon the inane, absurd, debasing studies of the Talmud. I felt no compunction while I openly declared to my own heart that it was an impure, stupid fabrication, composed by fallen and sinful man. ' What a volume is contained in these few thrilling sentences! Would the sons of Jacob speak out, how many would tell us the same story? Impossible it is but that among them there are thousands who, while they dare not repudiate the Talmud, are conscious of a feeling of offence at its impurities, and absurdities. Secondly, her father, although strictly a Jew in belief and profession, gave himself little trouble about their requirements and observances, and, therefore, was very far from pressing them upon his daughter.

An only child Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library . . . in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall in North Yorkshire was surpassed only by three collections those of Earl Spencer and the dukes of Devonshire and Buckingham. According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." With just 40 copies printed this first printing there was a 1933 second edition is very rarely seen on the market. Robert Triphook unknown

(WOMEN) HUTH, HELEN ROSE
Splendid album containing 50 watercolors 70 photographs and fine calligraphic selections of poems and prose
This magnificent imposing album was made by a prominent late-Victorian hostess patron of the arts and gifted artist.<br />Folio. Approx. 225 pages heavy card. Brown morocco gilt-stamped "H.R.H." metal lock and corner-pieces gilt edges rubbed at joints. Excellent condition.<br /><br />Helen Rose Huth was the wife of the banker Louis Huth. The Huths were major art collectors who displayed their art in the gallery built for the purpose at their home Possingworth. Helen sat for both George Frederic Watts and James Abbott McNeill Whistler who painted the celebrated Arrangement in Black No. 2: Portrait of Mrs Louis Huth. Whister required many sittings and when she complained that Watts never treated her that way Whistler replied "And still you know you come to me!" After Louis Huth's death in 1905 she married Archibald Howe.<br /><br />The album the product of vast labor contains 50 watercolors all but four by Mrs. Huth comprising studies of flowers landscapes and other scenes in Possingworth East Sussex and Scalpay and other Hebridean locations; 70 photographs of buildings landscapes people and paintings; and six pen-and-ink or pencil sketches. Many of the watercolors bear signatures dates and places. The album is filled with elegant calligraphic transcriptions of poems and prose pieces by Victorian writers the Brownings being particular favorites often with pen-and-ink floral borders. A number of the unsigned poems appear to be by Helen Rose Huth herself.<br /><br />The earliest watercolor in the album is dated 1879 and work continued until at least 1905. In that year Louis Huth died. A photograph of his tombstone is displayed opposite a portrait of the banker. A fine seated studio portrait of Helen Rose Huth dated 1895 appears early in the volume. The photographs are often connected to the subjects of the poems they accompany.<br /><br />Provenance: Helen Rose Huth 1837-1924. The Huths' fine country house Possingworth Park completed in 1866 "was a highly ornate neo-Gothic mansion … The house contained 42 bedrooms large oak panelled reception rooms and a conservatory named the Winter Garden. There was also a large picture gallery. Louis Huth was a passionate art collector and his house was designed to display artwork at its best. A large picture gallery on the ground floor was designed specifically to exhibit his most treasured artworks. … Possingworth was also the venue of a secret meeting between Major Generals Montgomery and Eisenhower in 1942. There they laid plans for the cross-channel invasion that was to take place two years later" Holy Cross Priory website. The house is now Holy Cross Priory. <br /> hardcover
