1835réf. 1847Derby: Thomas Richardson. c.1835. 12mo. Nineteenth-century quarter roan over grey paper-covered boards the spine with titles in gilt. Page edges untrimmed. Illustrated with a folding hand-coloured frontispiece. 24pp. A good copy the binding secure albeit with a 4cm crack to the head of the upper joint a little chipping to the spine ends a splash mark to the upper board and a touch of wear to the corners. The contents with a little offsetting to the title page from the frontispiece and toning to page edges are otherwise in good order. An uncommon early nineteenth-century 'seduction narrative' concerning a fictional young woman named Fanny Bilson who leaves her modest country life to find employment in the fast-paced morally-corrupting surroundings of London. Though besieged by the dubious advances of numerous men Fanny manages to maintain her honour and ultimately escapes back to the safety of her parental home "delivered from the most dangerous temptations to which a woman can be exposed" now in the company of a respectable suitor. There was also a London edition of this title published by Dean & Munday however we have not been able to establish priority. Derby: Thomas Richardson. hardcover
réf. 50719London : H. Such Printer & Publisher 177 Union Street Boro' S. E. after 1863. Broadside sheet size 255 x 185 mm printed in two columns with title of the first ballad in bold at the head of the left-hand column and with a woodcut illustration and title of the second ballad at the head of the right-hand column; publisher's serial number '499' in bold at lower right; printed on cheap and brittle paper which has browned edges with chipping and a few old tape repairs to verso partial loss of the opening capital letter of Young Henry otherwise the texts of both ballads are complete. An extremely late transportation broadside with versions of two convict ballads that are both known from much earlier printings. The State Library of New South Wales appears to hold the only copy of this particular broadside in Australian collections. The narrator of Young Henry the poacher sings that he was brought up near Southam in Warwickshire. After being caught poaching game one night in Squire Dunhill's Park he is convicted at the Warwick Assizes and sentenced to 14 years' penal servitude in Van Diemen's Land. He is brought out on the transport Speedwell then with some poetic licence! ""marched to Sydney"" where he is sold to a gentleman as a book-keeper. Having found happiness in his work he then falls in love with a convict servant from Wolverhampton named Rosanna and in the final stanza he proclaims that he and his sweetheart are now ""rattling off our chains in foreign lands to roam"". The ballad Botany Bay is also told in the first person. Its narrator sends a stark warning to other young men to heed his advice and ""quit night walking and shun bad company"" else they suffer the same fate and are transported to New South Wales. However it is important to note that the London printer and publisher Henry P. Such did not commence business at 177 Union Street until 1863 meaning that this broadside was printed at least two decades after January 1842 when the last ships bringing convicts arrived in New South Wales; and at least a decade after the last convict transport arrived in Van Diemen's Land in May 1853. While it is true that convict transportation to Western Australia persisted up until 1868 neither of the ballads in this broadside makes mention of that destination. Interestingly the present broadside is listed as number 499 out of 930 songs in the Henry P. Such catalogue of songs published around 1890. On the title-page of his catalogue which has been digitised - see below Such states that these songs are 'constantly kept in stock'. If they were also constantly being added to this might suggest an original publication date as late as 1875 for number 499 Young Henry the Poacher / Botany Bay - roughly the mid-point between 1863 and 1890: 'Henry Parker Such was one of the last London publishers of broadside ballads. In a letter to the folk song collector Francis James Child dated 23 August 1890 Harvard University MS Eng 863 Appendix no. 5 Sabine Baring-Gould writes: The only three printers of Broadside ballads now in London are Fortey S. Andrew’s St Seven Dials. He has no catalogue & no collection of his old ballads. Still – you can have something from him. Then there is Such 177 Union St Borough who has a catalogue. It is now out of print but he is reprinting. A third is Taylor 92 Brick Lane Spitalfields. I have not been to him to see if he has a catalogue.' Ian Maxted Exeter Working Papers in Book History https://bookhistory.blogspot.com/2013/01/baring-gould-and-such-song-catalogue.html This all leads us to conclude that the present broadside was already being regarded as a historical and musicological curiosity when it was printed and sold - whether that was in 1863 or as late as 1875 - as by this time the two ballads had already become part of the burgeoning phenomenon that was the craze for English folk-song collecting; and needless to say neither ballad by this time carried the same urgency or potency as it would have done in the 1820s or 1830s. unknown

réf. 46943with various interesting particulars relating thereto carefully reprinted from ancient documents : together with a notice of the fortifications of the town at that period its forts outworks walls gates draw-bridges &c.; and an attempt to trace and point out the existing remains of those ancient fortified barriers. Plymouth : G. P. Hearder 1843. Duodecimo modern marbled papered boards with gilt-lettered Morocco title-piece to upper board; pastedown with ex libris of G. & N. Ingleton; original printed blue wrappers bound in title with ownership inscription of noted Plymouth Dissenter Robert Govett 1813-1901 pp. 58 folding colour map; occasional light foxing a very good copy with a newspaper article on the Siege of Plymouth cut from the Western Daily Mercury 11 December 1874 mounted on 3 leaves at rear. A scarcely recorded account of the Siege of Plymouth by the Royalists in the Civil War locally published in the bicentennial year of the bloodiest episode in the city's history. Although the source documents on which the narrative is based are not explicitly stated it seems likely that the diary of John Syms Puritan naval chaplain and librarian was one of them. Having refused to surrender to the Royalists the citizenry of Plymouth signed a solemn covenant to fight to the last man; although poorly armed the defenders managed to overcome a formidable attacking force commanded by Sir Richard Grenville. The town held out for the next four years until the Parliamentary army finally prevailed over the Royalists. With the death of Cromwell in 1658 and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 however retribution was exacted by King Charles II against the leaders of the Plymouth resistance many of whom were imprisoned.

réf. 46776Title from caption at centre of image. Albumen print of calendar for 1866 with two illustrations one of shipping in Hobson's Bay the other a view of the city of Melbourne from the Yarra; carte de visite format 101 x 63 mm mount; recto of mount imprinted at bottom margin 'Pt. No. 5 / Copyright Secured'; verso blank; print and mount are both in fine condition. Cartes de visite of this type - usually featuring a short rhyming verse and with a pictorial theme - were printed as novelty items to be placed as a frontispiece in the family's or collector's photograph album. However this Melbourne-themed example which comprises a miniature calendar for 1866 with tiny illustrations is one that we have never sighted before. Nor have we seen an example from any other year. The publisher too remains a mystery as we can trace no mention of 'The Victorian Album Almanack' in Melbourne newspaper advertisements or notices of the period. A bona fide Melbourne carte de visite curio. unknown
