Some wear around the upper front joint of the binding; boards chafed; there is a loss of several letters and 4-5 words along the gutter of the last page of the Contents; the running title is also affected; on the verso an ornamental ruling line and the final letter "r" in the word Herausgeber.

Front free endpaper is torn; several pages loose in the first signature. 8vo 10 2 3 -184 pp. Vignette title the second title page with the frequently reproduced woodcut of a horse. Rare. One of the earliest American veterinary books in the colonial era. Though the horse is main subject the inclusion of all kinds of domestic farm animals insured its use in the rural Pennsylvania German farming towns. The medicinal recipes are presented in a thoroughgoing fashion with the admonition from the author that many botanical remedies in the available literature mainly the Philadelphischen Calender that always contained a section devoted to botanical cures and practice bear multiple names but are identical. Something his readers should be aware of when following the recipes. He also warns that general treatment and care of animals is as important as the suggested remedies on offer.

1705rif. 792L1Bath: From My Shop in Bath 1705. First edition. Disbound. Good. 7" by 4.5" . None. A very scarce eighteenth century pamphlet defending the healing properties of the water in Bath to one Dr Radcliffe of Tunbridge Wells. ESTC reference no: T62772.In this letter the anonymous author appeals to Radcliffe who is an 'enemy to our Bath-waters' as he vilifies them 'as good for little or nothing'. In the pamphlet the author addresses rumours that Radcliffe the physician to George of Denmark planned to poison the waters of Bath with a toad. This rumour has become a part of the legend of Beau Nash of Bath who was said to have calmed people's fears claiming he could neutralise the toad's poison with music which resulted in him raising money for an orchestra to play at the baths. The author tells Dr Radcliffe that he needs to stop speaking ill of the waters in Bath as it was once his favourite 'Tunbridg has been your Favourite formerly next Bath and then Tunbridg again; which argues you have much more fancy than judgement'. Unbound as issued. A very scarce work with this being the first edition. A second edition 'improv'd and corrected' was printed in the same year. Unbound as issued. Externally generally smart. A few light chips to the extremities. Several marks to the front leaf. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright. Occasional light spots to pages. Good From My Shop in Bath unknown

1920rif. 6067Paris: N.p. 1920. Two manuscripts 7" x 9.25" preliminary draft 23 pages entirely illustrated and written in pencil. The other manuscript 9" x 11.5" contains 17 leaves recto and verso; the text written in pencil but with beautifully detailed gouache illustrations 4 full page and the remainder inset in the text. Housed in a paper folder. The preliminary draft is toned and smudged in places while the color manuscript remains bright and clean. Stunning illustrated manuscript of a Japanese legend from the "City of Pleasure" concerning the beautiful courtesan Otzoumi and the Buddhist priest Itzari. The text of this story appeared in a compilation La cité d'amour au Japon Courtisanes du Yoshuwara by Dr. Tresmain-Trémolières in 1905. The cover and the spine of the paper folder which houses the manuscript both have written manuscrit a Cottin. Perhaps this is a hint as to the author/artist or perhaps means in the style of say Eugène Cottin or another. The gouache pieces are bright colorful detailed and fantastical and to us seem to us to resemble the Art Deco style of George Barbier. Certainly a manuscript worthy of further study. From the library of Jacques Loreau 1920-2010 operatic tenor and avid collector of 19th and 20th century literature and theater. . N.p. unknown

The exterior of the case is richly decorated overall with inscribed scenes outlined in red orange green and yellow lacquer over a black lacquer background.

These are as follows: for the top panel the left side portrays King Ajatashatru consulting with his ministers regarding where he should seek repentance for his wicked deeds. To the left of center the King is kneeling before Venerable Kasyapa surrounded by attendant Bhikkhus apparently expressing remorse. A single robed figure to the far right Ven. Ananda sits in meditation seeking the Dharma. Around all four sides of the case there are processions of figures in courtly dress all culminating in the center of one long side where a single central figure the Brahmin Dona sits on an ornate platform facing a naga dragon. According to the inscription above him Dona is in the process of distributing the Buddha's relics. The interior surfaces of the three sections are covered in plain red lacquer; the base in black lacquer.
