1840réf. 3417Through Russian Waters RUSSIA - TRADE FORMS. Vice Consolato di Russia. Manifesti cominciando dal 1840. Trapani 1840-49. Small folio pp. 196 of pre-printed shipping manifest forms of which 137 completed in ink; contemporary flexible vellum-backed marbled paper boards with ink-lettered label to upper board; corners bumped and spine a little chipped. Fine documentation of the maritime trade from the harbour of Trapani in Sicily. The manifest gives bills of lading from January 1840 to March 1849. The pre-printed manifests are completed in ink giving the name of the freight ship and its captain the destination and then details of its freight i.e. type and quantity of merchandise names of senders and recipients. Trapani boasts some of Europe's oldest salt marshes and salt extraction has been a major business for centuries which still flourishes to the present day. By the nineteenth century Sicilian sea salt was exported to European countries as far away as Norway and Russia. These shipping manifests document that it was sent to destinations as far afield as Constantinople Abo Stavanger Carlscrona Stockholm Bergen Odessa Reval and Riga. Clearly some of the shippers acted on their own account being both captains of the ship and shipper whereas others acted on commission. The shipping routes went through Russian waters which explains the accounts kept by the Russian Vice Consulate.

1816réf. 40803London: Printed for J. M. Richardson Cornhill Opposite the Royal Exchange 1816. 3-28pp. Light scattered foxing. Bound in modern cloth withdrawal stamp on front pastedown; inoffensive faint blindstamp on blank corner of title leaf. Else Very Good. Our collation matches that of the bibliographers. The nameless author disclaims any "intention to advocate the revival or regret the abolition of the Slave Trade. . . It is a traffic so objectionable in almost every respect that being abolished for the most part I hope never to see it revived and that every endeavour will be made to realize those advantages which the zeal of the authors of the Abolition has induced them to expect." However "The passage of the registration bill would constitute an unwarranted interference of the central power in the planters' private affairs" Ragatz. The property right of the West Indian colonists in their slaves is non-negotiable. Slaves comprise "the most valuable property of our colonists." Parliament's interference with "the private rights and private property of our colonists. . . would absolutely and tyrannically deprive the individuals whose property it is proposed to regulate and affect of those constitutional means of redress which all British subjects are entitled to." The pamphlet prints resolutions of West Indian Planters objecting to any such intrusions on their rights. The anonymous author objects to the African Institution's "representations of the miseries and hardships of slaves and in circulating ignorantly and unguardedly no doubt the most unfounded calumnies on the subject. If these gentlemen were to compare the situation of the Irish peasantry with that of our colonial slaves they would find they were comparing the extreme of wretchedness with comparative comfort."

réf. 96986First Edition. Hardcover. Half suede and marbled papered boards 430 × 310 mm with 140 leaves containing 66 samples of fabric circa 1870 mounted one to a page on 69 almost consecutive pages; binding a trifle rubbed; the contents are in superb condition. The samples vary in size but they must average around 40 to 50 square centimetres each; they are accompanied by extensive technical details including threading and loom settings handwritten neatly and in the one hand in Italian. One page has no sample one has two samples two have a sample but no explanatory text two are blank as are about 200 other pages in the book. Ten early entries also include detailed and really quite charming hand-drawn diagrams. The text seems to describe how to actually MAKE the cloth . The inkstamp of 'A. Lohbauer Buchbinder Stüssihofstatt No. 4 Zürich' appears on the front endpaper with '1871 / 1219' added in ink. When the item was originally purchased we initially assumed it to be a catalogue of cloth for use by the bookbinder but closer inspection makes this highly unlikely. For a start many of the fabrics are far too delicate and beautiful for such utilitarian purposes. Whatever its original intended purpose the scrapbook now takes on a much more significant role as home to 66 exquisite jewel-like pieces of fabric upwards of 150 years old. hardcover
