1936ref. SHEL1455Portland OR: Midwest Portrait Studios 1936. No Binding. Very Good. Hand-tinted convex photograph under glass of a hunter holding a rifle with a dead cougar laying on a rack behind him. Frame size 12" x 18". Small chips to the frame. The framing was done by Midwest Portrait Studios in Portland Oregon. The printed paper covering the back is mostly detached & curled at the edges. I have not taken the photo out but it appears to be in fine condition. I thought the hunter looked familiar but I was never able to identify him. The newsprint on the back of the cover the Oregonian November 29 1936. It should not take too much of an expert to identify the rifle but I am not that expert. Midwest Portrait Studios unknown

1681ref. 705L21London: Nathaniel Thompson 1681. First edition. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 11" by 7. None. A fine very scarce political and religious tract written at the peak of the Popish Plot and therefore ant-Catholic hysteria in England and Scotland. A very scarce pamphlet. ESTC reference no R19980. This is setting A referred to by the ESTC with signature mark 'A' on A1 under 'es' of 'unless'. The first line of p.4 reads 'Lastly if he has' with a lower case 'i'. This work was written in response to Elkanah Settle's pamphlet 'The Character of a Popish Successor'. Settle was a poet and playwright who took an active share in the anti-Popish agitation. However later he exposed Titus Oates and with the Revolution of 1688 his political leanings were more towards the Whigs. This is an analysis and response to Settle's pamphlet. Following this work Settle later recanted his 'The Character of a Popish Successor' and cited the danger of the opinions he expressed. Bound in a limp cloth binding. Externally very smart with just the occasional marks. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright with just the odd light spots. Very Good Indeed Nathaniel Thompson hardcover
