réf. 9018London: Roadway Timetables Bookings & Publications Ltd. 1932. No binding. Very Good. 1010 x 1265 mm. colour printed lithographic map with blue edged border all the way around with original folds in very good condition. An unusual Quad-Royal poster of the London Underground in that it is laid onto a map of Central London at the scale of just under 7 inches to the mile. A note in the upper margin states 'Southgate extension of the Piccadilly Railway from Finsbury Park is now under construction .' this helps in dating it as the Southgate station opened on 13 March 1933. In 1933 the iconic Underground design by Harry Beck was first published. In this the lines of the Underground are colour coded and do not detract from the street plan itself. Red circles denote the stations which are reminiscent of the earlier design introduced in 1908. Stingemore style lines are shown in different colours. It extends from Willesden Green top left Drayton Park and Holloway Road top right Oval lower right Hammersmith and Walham Green lower left and London Bridge and the Oval stations lower right.

1876réf. 0008153MIDDLETOWN CONNECTICUT HARTFORD. Good with no dust jacket. 1876. Leather. On offer is the working log and financial ledger of a sea captain in the Connecticut River and coastal trade moving coal and stone by water between the river towns of Connecticut and larger coastal markets. The book belonged to Captain Charles Hubert Bacon 1843-1917. Captain C. H. Bacon was part of a lineage of New England sea captains whose coastal trade in raw materials laid the foundation for an expanding America transporting the stone and coal that built the booming New York metropolis. See biographical notes for more on the Bacon family. For nearly 100 pages Bacons log tracks almost two years of his workload as Master of schooners mainly the George Gillum which historical newspaper records show Bacon as Master for many parts of the years 1876-1879. A further 38 pages at the rear of the diary act as a ledger of the Captains work-related debts and payments to local tugboats laborers and others providing further insight into the people and boats with whom he did business. Capt. Bacons meticulous record keeping allows researchers to trace his exact routes and the expenses associated with his work. For example on some days he would load up coal at Chappells Dock in New London CT from FH. Chappell & Co. On the Thames and deliver to places like Gowanus Creek Red Hook and Harlem. He indicates stops at Portland Haddam and Maromas which were hubs for brownstone and granite quarries. He also references stops at other Eastern Seaboard hubs and ports such as Tottenville New London New Haven Wethersfield Rock Landing Essex and more. The log is especially interesting for its repeated references to tugboat towing. Captain Bacon frequently notes when his schooner was taken in tow identifying the tug the route or location and the amount paid. He is frequently towed by the O. V. Coffin a steam tug built in 1870 in Philadelphia PA. but he also worked with dozens of other captains and vessels in towing his schooner to its destinations. Some of the dozens of other vessels he names are Steam Tugs such as the Admiral Farragut A. M. Smith J. Warren Coulston. He similarly discusses many Steam Propellers such as the General A. E. Burnside which was owned by Thames Tow Boat and Co. And captained at the time by Roswell M. Waterman. Finally Capt. Bacon interacted frequently with other ship captains such as Master Richard L. Buell who at this time was master of the Gleam a Sloop built in Brookhaven New York. Excerpts: Towed to Saybrook by the tug O. V. Coffin $12.00 Nov 26 1876. Cash for towing in and out of Gowanus Creek by the Hattie Backus $9.00. Sailed from Red Hook to Perth Amboy. Arrived at 3 PM Dec 5 1877Tracking the daily minutiae of a 19th-century coasting captain such as Capt. C. H. Bacon down to the specific tugboats hired the exact routes sailed and the costs for wharfage and stevedores is crucial. It transforms abstract economic history into tangible human reality. These hyper-local ledger entries act as the raw unfiltered data of the American Industrial Revolution revealing the true fluctuating market rates for labor and transport that official government summaries often smoothed over or missed entirely. By mapping these granular transactions historians can reconstruct the intricate messy supply chains that built modern cities demonstrating exactly how independent contractors and everyday laborers physically drove massive economic shifts one ton of coal and one block of brownstone at a time. Some representative excerpts follow: Towing from Saybrook to Middletown by Tug AM Smith $15.00 Arrived at 12 Midnight April 26 1877Finished discharging and sailed to the Quarry. Cash for discharging 159 tons of coal at is $2224 April 27 1877. Sailed from Off Old Field to Layhook Canchored at 2pm R Buell Pilot at Layhook Towing from Layhook to Middleton by the Tug J. W. Coulston $12.00 May 12 1877Discharging stone for Samuel Dean & Bro stoneyard in Brooklyn Gowanus Creek Tow for Help $10.50. Wharfage $6.00 Dec 4 1877This would be a highly desirable addition to a collection focused on maritime archives the urban development of New York or the Northeast coasting trade during the Industrial Revolution offering a primary lens into the grit stone and everyday enterprise that literally built modern America. Condition: The book is leather-bound measures approx 5.75x3.5 inches and contains about 120 pages. It is 100% complete with the majority of the book being Bacons daily log and embedded financial notes and the final 38 pages being a ledger of financial transitions where he lists debts to be paid and payment dates. The manuscript is written in pencil and is legible. The cover binding and pages are all in good condition with expected signs of age. Bio Notes: Charles Hubert Bacon 1843-1917 was born in Middletown Middlesex County Connecticut to parents Captain Charles Bacon 1815-1902 and Eunice Bridgham 1816-1851. His father was a sea captain for many years but by the 1870 census the senior Bacon had given up sailing for a life of farming which is how the young Cpt. Bacon was confirmed as the keeper of this log book. In 1868 Capt C. H. Bacon married Adaline Annolia Bailey 1850-1930 and together they had at least seven children. One of their sons Cpt. Charles Russell Bacon 1871-1937 continued the family tradition of captaining ships on the river and after working his way up was best known for commanding the SS Hartford which ran between New York City and Hartford until 1931 when it was retired and scrapped. ; Manuscript; 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall; 120 pages; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF; 19TH CENTURY; CAPT C.H.

1629réf. 913London: Printed by Iohn Hauiland and are sold by R. Allot 1629. This 1629 edition contains all 58 essays. And is the First edition to contain The colors of good and evil. Bound in the original limp vellumlacking ties recently recased and a little rumpled but a very largeclean and unsophisticated copy of an early quarto edition. His long attempt to reform the intellectual habits of the European mind began with the publication of The Advancement of Learning in 1605 which attacked the unprofitable scholasticism that inhibited the growth of knowledge and the mental prejudices that helped to keep men in ignorance. Above all he deplored the poor and confused state of knowledge about the operations of the natural world. Novum Organum begun about 1608 published 1620 called for a systematic study of the natural world and of the causes of things and proposed the inductive method as the most reliable instruments of enquiry. Bacon worked out the principles of the experimental method in this book and developed them in De Augmentis 1623. Sylva Sylvarum a proposal of 1000 experiments to be undertaken was published posthumously in 1627 together with New Atlantis a Utopian fragment written about 1617 that urged the foundation of a college for scientific research. A short book that enjoyed much popularity in his lifetime was De Sapientia Veterum 1609 translated as The Wisdom of the Ancients 1619 which tried to demonstrate that the myths of the Greeks were coded accounts of their knowledge of the physical world.” Quoted from The Seventeenth Century by Graham Perry pages 264-265. “Bacon’s Essays the fruits of his political and social observations were first published in 1597 enlarged in 1612 and again in 1625. This 1629 edition contains all 58 essays. And is the First edition to contain The colors of good and evil and has divisional title page; register is continuous. Some copies may have been issued without this but the present copy has it. “Of Bacon’s literary as distinct from his philosophical and professional works far the most popular and important are the Essays they are the most original of all Bacon’s works those which in detail he seems to have thought out most completely for himself apart from books and collections of commonplaces. The last edition referring to that of 1625 the first to contain all fifty-eight essays teems indeed with quotations and illustrations but they are suggested by his own matter and do not suggest it. Though the Essays have the same title as the larger collection of Montaigne the two works have little in common except that rare power of exciting interest and the unmistakable mark of genius which is impressed on them both.” DNB STC 1149; Gibson 15 Pforzheimer 31.

1934réf. 7731London: J. Weiner for Roadway Publications 1934. Lithograph in colours 40 x 50 inches 101.5 x 127 cms blank verso; quad royal map published for display in stations across the Underground network. The first edition of this map was printed in 1932 but the introduction of Beck's diagram did not obviate the need for geographically accurate maps which pinpointed the location of Undergound stations in the central area in relation to the surface topography. The lines themselves though colour-coded are given minimal prominence so as not to disrupt the street plan. The red discs denoting stations are in the style of the earliest roundels introduced in 1908 and superseded by the modern bar and circle bullseye in 1917. In the context of this map even in minte form they prove a highly effective means of drawing the eye to the stations without intruding greatly on the surrounding cartography. The map was printed under licence from G.W. Bacon & Co Ltd a firm noted for its large-scale mapping of London whether in the form of folding maps or the detailed Atlases of London and Suburbs published from the 1880s onwards. Map J.

Este trabalho é a primeira utopia sobre a Austrália e a obra de Campanellas A Cidade do Sol e a de Bacon Nova Atlântida foram duas das mais reimpressas obras do século XVII sobre a utopia de uma república ideal muitas vezes em conjunto com a Utopia de More e com a Oceana de Harrington. Este trabalho publicado anonimamente é provavelmente a primeira «distopia» segundo McMullan vide Politics of Unease p. 236 e teve uma importante influência na obra As Viagens de Gulliver de Swift. Joseph Hall 1574-1656 foi um bispo inglês satírico e moralista. Os seus contemporâneos conheciam-no como um escritor devocional e um controverso de alto nível do início da década de 1640. Esta obra parece só ter sido atribuída formalmente a Hall em 1674 embora Milton tivesse atacado a obra e o próprio Hall na altura por ser desprovida da mensagem moral necessária à sátira. No texto o viajante fictício 'Mercurius Britannicus' visita quatro nações com nomes de origem latina incluindo: Crapulia Viraginia Moronihah e Lavernia respectivamente gula luxúria loucura e engano. O índice realça os vários nomes de lugares dentro de cada região para enfatizar a anedota. Os mapas ilustram o imaginário do continente australiano e antárctico e com não-lugares também nas Américas daí a sua inclusão nas bibliografias de Church e Sabin. EN Duodecimo twelvemo. 75x125 cm. 16 213 19 pp. Binding: Contemporary hard parchment. Illustrated with 4 maps and leaflets and 1 epigraphic survey printed plate p. 64-65 hors text. Copy with faded ex-libris stamps on the back of the title page. The engravings and maps present in the book are in the following order: Frontispiece with portrait of a banquet. Terra Sancta Lavernia between pp. 32-33. Pamphagonia between pp. 34-35. Epigraphic survey between pp. 64-65. Frugiona between pp. 98-99. Moroniae between pp. 118-119. Mare Pacifico del Sur between pp. 192-193. This work is the first utopia about Australia and Campanellas´ A Cidade do Sol The City of the Sun and Bacon´s Nova Atlântida New Atlantis were two of the most widely reprinted seventeenth-century works on the utopia of an ideal republic often in conjunction with More´s Utopia and Harringtons Oceana of all the 17th century works on the ideal republic. This anonymously published work is probably the first English «dystopia» McMullan Politics of Unease p. 236 as well as an important influence on Swifts As Viagens de Gulliver Gullivers Travels. Joseph Hall 1574-1656 was an English bishop satirist and moralist. His contemporaries knew him as a devotional writer and a high-profile controversialist of the early 1640s. This work seems to have been only formally attributed to Hall in 1674 although Milton had attacked the work and Hall himself at the time for being devoid of the moral message necessary to satire. In the text the fictional traveler Mercurius Britannicus visits four nations with names of latin origin including: Crapulia Viraginia Moronihah and Lavernia respectively gluttony lust madness and deception. The index highlights the various placenames within each region to emphasize the joke. The maps illustrate the imaginary Australis and Antarctic continent and with non-places on the Americas as well hence its inclusion in Church and Sabin.

BL BNF DNB GBV and BVB; European Americana 696/104 Grosser. Francis Bacon described by DNB as "the British Socrates "was educated at Cambridge and studied law at Gray's Inn. He was elected to Parliament during the contentious period of religious division and he wrote many opinions on the issue which he hoped would bring him favour with Queen Elizabeth. He allied himself with the Earl of Essex but the friendship was tested many times over the years with both men having alternating high profiles at Elizabeth's court. Bacon was a prolific writer not only in parliamentary opinions and on works of law but he also wrote literary scientific and philosophical essays. ~ Simon Johann Arnold's edition of Bacon's collected works rendered in Latin from the original English. First published in 1665 this more complete edition features an array of Bacon's work concerning philosophy literature and science. ~~ Samuel Grosser was a classical scholar and member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences. He was rector of a school in Gorlitz Germany for more than 40 years and wrote a number of works related to political history. This work gives a synopsis of pre-18th century European and American geographical and political history. Christoph Schrader was an educator and inspector general of schools in the Duchy of Brunswick- Wolfenbiittel. He contributed in large measure to the pedagogical structure of the principality after the Thirty Years' War. This work is a chronological guide to historical events from the birth of Christ to 1688. unknown
réf. 20341Paris: Maeght Editeur. 1966. First edition. First edition. Inscribed by Francis Bacon to the director of the Tate Gallery. Publisher's original colour lithograph card covers. The contents with five single sheet colour lithographs and one folding triptych colour lithograph loose as issued. Further illustrations throughout. The text by Michel Leiris and an interview with Bacon by David Sylvester is in French. An excellent near fine copy the covers without tears or creasing the contents bright throughout. A very attractive complete example of the Francis Bacon issue of Derriere Le Miroir. Inscribed by the artist in green pen on the inside cover "To Norman Reid / with all my best wishes / Francis Bacon". A fabulous association copy. The recipient Sir Norman Reid served as the Director of the Tate Gallery from 1964 to 1980. During his 16 years as Director through major acquisitions and ground-breaking exhibitions he transformed an English institution into an internationally acclaimed museum recognised as one of the leading museums of modern art in the world. A trained painter himself Reid formed strong relationships with several major artists that led to important works being donated to the Gallery. Mark Rothko's Seagram murals and work by Barbara Hepworth Ben Nicholson Naum Gabo and Henry Moore were all gifted to the Tate largely as a result of the personal respect the artists had for its Director. Notably the year of this publication and presumably Bacon's presentation inscription coincides with the Tate's first purchase of a Francis Bacon painting Portrait of Isabel Rawsthorne 1966.
