BERTIE AND THE CRIME OF PASSION SIGNED COPY
N.Y.: Mysterious Press 1995. 1st US edition January 1995 so stated. Fine in dust jacket. SIGNED by Lovesey at title page. "Lovesey's third spirited mystery to feature Edward VII Prince of Wales as a dogged often fatuous but ever-successful amateur sleuth Bertie and the Tinman finds the royal in Paris in 1891. There Bertie is discreetly enjoying the City of Light's pleasures and his platonic meetings with reigning actress Sarah Bernhard when Maurice Letissier prospective son-in-law of Bertie's old friend Jules d'Agincourt is shot dead at the Moulin Rouge. Present when the unseen gunman fired were Jules his wife his newly betrothed daughter and his younger son all celebrating the engagement while along with dozens of other patrons they watched the frenzied dancing of the notorious La Goulue and her partner Valentin. Bertie's detecting instincts are aroused especially as he becomes aware of the victim's libertine ways and of his fiancee's involvement with Glyn Morgan a penniless 50-year-old painter. When the Surete arrest Morgan for the crime Bertie convinced of his innocence is spurred to bolder explorations of the city's seamier aspects producing at last a surprising confession. A lively evocation of fin-de-siecle Paris a lightly ironic tone and some tidy plotting add up to another easy-to-take confection from this reliable British author." -- Publishers Weekly.

LOWNDES, William
A Report Containing an Essay for the Amendment of the Silver Coins.
8vo. 159 pages, plus 1 page notice by the Treasury at rear, bound in contemporary cottage style panelled calf, five raised bands, gilt tooling and titled to spine. With a nineteenth century armorial bookplate to front pastedown. Some wear to boards with minor loss to foot of spine, otherwise in very good condition, internally bright and crisp, a pleasing early work. [Palgrave]: "With a view to the recoinage of 1696, he was requested to undertake an investigation into the state of the currency, the results of which were published with the title A Report Containing an Essay for the Amendment of the Silver Coins ... In this important work, while he repudiated any measure which would have the character of debasing the currency, he suggested, as a necessary measure for placing it upon a satisfactory basis, that all denominations of the silver coin should be raised 25 per cent. Lowndes had carefully examined the records of the mint and other documents, and he ably defended his position with historical arguments based upon these materials. He also maintained that the price of silver had risen to 6s. 5d. an oz., and that if the measure he proposed were adopted, persons who melted down the coin would have "less profit by fourteen pence half-penny in the crown". Further arguments he used in support of his scheme were that it would encourage the bringing of bullion to the mint to be coined, and would make the coinage "more in tale, more commensurate to the general need thereof". To meet the objection that people would lose 20 per cent on contracts already made, he maintained the scarcity of silver. He computed the amount of "weighty money" hoarded up at £1,600,000. The most famous of the replies to Lowndes' Essay was written by John Locke, and was entitled Further Considerations Concerning the Raising the Value of Money, wherein Mr. Lowndes' arguments for it in his late report concerning "An Essay," etc., are particularly examined. While the opposition accepted the views urged by Lowndes, Montagu and the government adopted those of Locke, and the recoinage on the old standard was carried on Dec. 10, 1698 [sic: actually 1695], in the House of Commons, by 225 to 114."
