This is a presentation copy of the first library catalogue of Frances Mary Richardson Currer an Englishwoman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." 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 books

Illustrated with 84 plates of which 34 are full-page hand-coloured plates 27 are hand-coloured and affixed to text pages and 23 are with tinted details or uncoloured and 1 coloured map showing localities of abbeys etc. Half brown morocco and cloths spine with raised bands forming six compartments marbled endpapers all edges gilt A rare beautifully illustrated work with magnificent hand coloured lithographs celebrating Yorkshire’s storied architectural heritage. A monumental visual and historical survey The Monastic Ruins of Yorkshire is among the most ambitious 19th-century publications devoted to Britain's early architectural heritage. Comprising 84 lithographic plates 61 hand coloured after on-site drawings by architect William Richardson and lithographed with remarkable sensitivity by George Hawkins the work offers sweeping detailed views of the region's most storied monastic sites: Fountains Abbey Rievaulx Whitby Bolton Kirkstall and many others. The accompanying texts by the Revd. Edward Churton M.A. supply rich historical commentary detailing each abbey's foundation its monastic order phases of architectural development notable benefactors and the devastation wrought by the Dissolution of the Monasteries under Henry VIII. Yorkshire's landscape rugged expansive and historically wealthy in natural resources was ideally suited for the growth of monastic communities. From the 12th century onward the region became a stronghold for the Cistercians Benedictines Augustinians and Premonstratensians whose abbeys often flourished under aristocratic and royal patronage. Yorkshire's remoteness from court life its vast agricultural estates and its political significance as a northern frontier made it a vital religious and economic center in medieval England. These monasteries were not only spiritual havens but also hubs of learning manuscript production and agrarian innovation. The prominence of Yorkshire in England's monastic landscape also made it disproportionately affected by the Dissolution 1536-1541 which stripped religious houses of their lands and wealth and left their architectural shells to decay. By the 19th century these ruins overgrown sublime and emblematic of a vanished order became focal points of Romantic imagination and national identity. The present work reflects this cultural turn merging antiquarian interest with a Victorian appreciation for the picturesque. This copy is notable for its original hand colouring. While some examples were issued with colour tinting or were embellished with modern hand colouring this copy preserves the original hand-colouring. Abbey Scenery 381. Robert Sunter unknown books

From "Philosophical Magazine" February 1912 vol. 23 no. 134 . Owen Willians Richardson 1879-1959 would go on to win the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1928 for his work on the thermionic phenomenon and especially for the discovery of the law named after him. "The law for the discovery of which the Nobel Prize was specially given was first announced by him in a paper read before the Cambridge Philosophical Society on the 25th November 1901 in the following words as recorded in the published Proceedings: 'If then the negative radiation is due to the corpuscles coming out of the metal the saturation current s should obey the law s = AT1/2e-b/T. This law is fully confirmed by the experiments to be described.' Richardson continued working at this subject at Cambridge until 1906 when he was appointed Professor of Physics at Princeton University in America where he remained until the end of 1913 working at thermionic emission photoelectric action and the gyromagnetic effect."

2022réf. 203591New Haven CT: Yale University Press 2022. Hardcover. As new. Octavo. Hardcover. Bound in blue paper with matte jacket. 375 pages : map ; 24 cm. Parliament's decision in 1807 to outlaw British slaving was a key moment in modern world history. In this magisterial work historian David Richardson challenges claims that this event was largely due to the actions of particular individuals and emphasizes instead that abolition of the British slave trade relied on the power of ordinary people to change the world. British slaving and opposition to it grew in parallel through the 1760s and then increasingly came into conflict both in the public imagination and in political discourse. Looking at the ideological tensions between Britons' sense of themselves as free people and their willingness to enslave Africans abroad Richardson shows that from the 1770s those simmering tensions became politicized even as British slaving activities reached unprecedented levels mobilizing public opinion to coerce Parliament to confront and begin to resolve the issue between 1788 and 1807.
