1790ref. 24683Dublin: Byrne 1790. First Irish Edition. 8vo pp. 160. Front hinge loose. Bound in rubbed and some worn leather backed paper boards paper lacking from front cover with some library stamps inside. A good copy for all that. Entirely printed in red. An English edition appeared the same year. See Tourneux Bibliographie de l'histoire de Paris pendant la revolution Francaise 3.13483; ESTC T108411 for the UK Edition; not in Martin-Waller or Saricks. The original French edition of this pretended to be the official list of pensioners published by the government. It was more likely issued to embarrass the ruling class portraying them as a group of loafers living off the work of the population burdened with taxes. It's appearance in England is an indication of the British Jacobean interest in the French goings on. The existence of a Dublin printing is especially strange given that the Irish working population spoke mostly Gaelic and this nasty work is not really aimed at the ruling class who were the subject of its satire. The British library Catalogue offers a possible attribution to Jean-Baptiste Martin Louis La Reynie de la Bruyere q.v. Querard 4.558-559. Byrne unknown

ref. 42129Edinburgh: Morrison & Gibb Printed for Private Circulation. Edinburgh: Hersdilia was a 454 ton steam yacht 171 loa manned by a crew of 19 and built in 1895 in Leith. In July and August 1896 she took a cruise to Norway and the Orkney Islands with a party of about a dozen the entire adventure being recorded here in the sort of hi-falootin' language reserved for the Upper Classes in the late Victorian era. The characters are given names such as "Lord High Admiral" "Cerberus" and "Dr. Angelicus" and the prose is riddled with weary tropes such as "in the after deckhouse incense is burned to 'My Lady Nicotine.'" The account records sea-going events and activities big waves! of course but also gives a readable narrative of their adventures ashore. This is followed by about 20 pages of mostly unreadable poetry penned by members of the expedition. Aside from a pleasing book design and a real sense of how better folks took their recreation back then the redeeming virtue of this work is its scarcity. Not in Toy. Worldcat shows only 5 libraries holding copies. Good condition in original binding showing light soiling and wear. Morrison & Gibb Printed for Private Circulation unknown
