1820ref. 20114England 1820. Half Calf. Marbled paper pastedown on boards. Very Good. A military-related manuscript rife with exquisite drawn and painted illustrations of ships cannon ammunition and other military equipment. 8vo. 25 by 21 cm. 10 223 pp. Not including the blank leaves following which constitute about one fourth of the leaves. In unpaginated pages at the beginning there are a calligraphic title page a full page pen-and-ink drawing of two warships -- basically serving as a frontis -- and a two page index. The illustrations appear throughout the manuscript as do numerous tables -- this being a manual of sorts how else to deal with the niceties of ammunition The illustrations can be renderings of simple geometric principles to realistic depictions of warships facing off. Many of the illustrations are small vignettes of hardware -- the utilitarian purpose of the artwork might not sound especially exciting but the precision of the drawing is such as to inspire awe. There are a number of pages given over to such small illustrations. Rather than a count of the total number of illustrations we would say that there are 40 pages in which there are illustrations that are ones that reflect artistic skill by the creator of this manuscript. The text is written in a very consistent and neat cursive -- one should have no trouble reading any of the text. We would not regard most of the handwriting as calligraphic. Only two title pages feature bona fide calligraphy. Alas we do not know who put together this book or exactly when. It has a resemblance to student notebooks and course summaries of the period both ones created in England but also the United States. But given the length and thrust of the thing we are inclined to see it as the effort of an instructor. Perhaps there was an ambition to publish as well. Not knowing the identity of the creator militates against having a conclusive answer to the mystery. Based on the warships depicted we pin the manuscript as circa 1820. The spine leather is torn rubbed rough. Scattered soiling of the leaves within with browning conspicuous along page edges. Still well-preserved and attractive. unknown

Signaturas a-k8 l4. Portada renacentista dentro de un tabernáculo arquitectónico xilográfico. Encuadernación del siglo dieciocho en pergamino. Primera y única edición de gran rareza de este libro publicado anónimo que ataca la astrología judiciaria aquella que con sus predicciones se pueden declarar los efectos en las personas según la posición de los astros. Al tiempo que defiende la astrología natural aquella que predice los fenómenos naturales según los movimientos del sol la luna y las estrellas denuncia el uso de la astrología judiciaria para elegir el momento de las acciones como totalmente falsa y rechaza que la acción humana esté sujeta a la determinación de las estrellas debido a la existencia de la libre voluntad. No puede sacarse por ninguna parte de la obra ni el nombre del autor italiano ni el del traductor castellano si bien está generalmente admitido que el autor es Girolamo Savonarola. Nicolás Antonio menciona una obra de Antonio de Beja titulada Tratado de astrología judiciaria. Buen ejemplar de este atractivo gótico castellano en su estado original. Pequeño taladro que afecta a una palabra de la última linea hasta mitad del volumen por lo demás perfecto. Juan de Junta hardcover

1840ref. 13454London: Saunders and Otley 1840. First. Hardback. Very Good. A very good copy. "Science fantasy novel of romance and adventures set in antediluvian days the sentence construction of the text of which makes for difficult comprehension. Depicted is a world free of storms and earthquakes peopled by vegetarians. There are two kinds of long-lived humans - people of ordinary stature and a race of giants the latter being the offspring of the union of women and angels winged beings who still occasionally come to Earth. There are scanty descriptions of buildings vaster than post-deluge ones. Noah's Ark is described and there is some discussion of its provisioning for the flood which the author concludes in one of his numerous intrusions into the text was caused by man's wickedness and the close approach of a comet. There are numerous references to passages in the Bible to support his reconstruction of antediluvian life and he concludes that the post-deluge changeable climate and man's becoming a carnivore led to the shortening of his life span. The author is clearly that of 'A Fantastical Excursion into the Planets' Saunders & Olev 1839 stated on the title page of the present the volume. I believe him also responsible anonymous 'A Legend of Another World'." Locke: Spectrum II:4. In the original cloth. The cloth's a little toned and rubbed the spine label has some chipping. Pencil note and evidence of price erasure to the front a little creasing to the leaves. Evidently not the copy Locke read as much of it is unopened. Saunders and Otley unknown
1684ref. 13619London: Brab. Aylmer 1684. First Edition. Hardback. Very Good. Very good condition. The sole edition. A fascinating Restoration study of astronomy astrology and theology sitting at an important junction in human understanding examining not just the physical nature of comets but also the supernatural; I guess you could say the rational and supernatural were on a collision course at the end of the 17th century. Edwards was a clergyman and spends some of the book defending the interpretation of comets as supernatural portent but also examines the physical aspects of the objects. The book is an important astrological work too.A few years before publication Kirch's comet had been seen in the sky and would subsequently be discussed in Isaac Newton's Principia 1687. On the one hand then we have the Principia pointing the way forward for the next four centuries; on the other Cometomantia representing the increasingly embattled older tradition of interpreting celestial phenomena not merely as physical objects but as signs invested with divine meaning. Bound in full calf. Some loss to the leather on the upper board about 3cm in a triangle. Hinges worn with string showing some chipping and flakiness. Internally pretty tight with an ownership inscription to the front pastedown. Some staining to the inner margin but largely a pleasing copy. Rear endpaper missing so final page of text is the last page. Full title: Shewing their Original Substance Place Time Magnitude Motion Number Colour Figure Kinds Names and more especially their Prognosticks Significations and Presages. Being a brief Resolution of a reasonable Query viz. Whether the Apparition of Comets be the Sign of approaching Evil Where also is inserted an Essay of Judiciary Astrology giving Satisfaction to this grand Question Whether any certain Judgments and Predictions concerning future Events can be made from the Observation of the Heavenly Bodies Both occasioned by the Appearance of the late Comets in England and other Places Brab.

1825ref. 13618London: J. & H.L. Hunt 1825. First Edition. Hardback. Very Good. Very good condition. An uncommon book one copy located in commerce 2022. A political satire in the form of a fantastic tale wherein our protagonist finds a magical recipe allowing him to give animals the power of speech which ends badly - it turns out that the animals were planning to rebel with the eponymous ass leading the charge and ultimately installing himself as the supreme monarch. They formulate their own laws and principles including the Rights of Brutes. Critically the animals end up corrupt factionalised and immoral just like the humans. The book presages and is remarkably akin to Orwell's Animal Farm but there's nothing to link Orwell with Hunt at least as far as this book's concerned and given its scarcity and the fact it wasn't reprinted in his lifetime any connection is speculative at best. Still it's an important satire and equally important to the speculative canon using animals to abstract humanity in a Swiftian manner. Bound in half calf over marbled boards. Some rubbing to the boards and leather an area of loss to the leather at the lowers spine with some splitting. Leaves a little toned but largely in excellent shape. J. & H.L. Hunt unknown

1861ref. 12471c.1861. 240 by 600mm 9.5 by 23.5 inches. Watercolour on paper. The first modern bridge at Lambeth was a suspension bridge designed by Peter W. Barlow. Sanctioned by an Act of Parliament in 1860 it opened as a toll bridge in 1862 but doubts about its safety coupled with its awkwardly steep approaches deterring horse-drawn traffic meant it soon became used almost solely as a pedestrian crossing. It ceased to be a toll bridge in 1879 when the Metropolitan Board of Works assumed responsibility for its upkeep it was by then severely corroded and by 1910 it was closed to vehicular traffic. unknown
1760ref. 11350c1760. 280 by 390mm. 11 by 15.25 inches. Manuscript map in pen and ink en grisaille on paper. View of the mouth of Havana Harbour taken from a shipboard vantage point emphasising the two forts that guarded the mouth: on the left the 'Castillo de los Tres Reyes Magos del Morro' Morro Castle and on the right 'Castillo de San Salvador de la Punta and marking the boom chain barrier stretched between the two. Havana was attacked by the British towards the end of the Seven Years' War and this would seem an appropriate date for this image. Seeing that Morro Castle presented a formidable challenge should it be attacked from the seaward the British simply landed troops on Cuba who approached from the landward side and commenced siege operations on 11th June gradually battering the walls into ruin. A breach was made on 30th July and the castle taken by storm. With the key to its defences lost Havana was quickly compelled to surrender. unknown
