1774réf. 00009390London: J. Lister for T. Becket and P A. de Hondt 1774. First English language edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 5 vol. 8vo. For pagination please inquire. Contemporary full calf spines in six compartments each with a red morocco label lettered in gold and with a second smaller red morocco label with the volume number in gold; all edges decoratively stained bright yellow. Volume three illustrated with the publisher's device on the title page. Nineteenth-century bookplate in each volume an engraving of a hawk perched on a branch with the name William Tector below it. First editions of all volumes; the first two volumes are the 1767 editions translated largely by Thornton and credited to him volumes three and four are the 1772 editions translated by Richard Warner and credited to him and the fifth volume first published in 1774 was also translated by and credited to Warner. Thornton provided translations for a majority of the plays in the first two volumes and collected notes from himself and from various classical scholars of the day for his translation. Thornton died before he could complete his translation of the twenty plays so Warner finished the work. Brueggemann 459. Moss 468. Oxford Classical Dictionary 1194-1196. Smith 254. Smith cites a quote from H.T. Riley in Bohn's Classical Library edition of this work: "As a poetical work it is impossible to speak of it in other than terms of admiration.". This is the first complete edition of Plautus' twenty comedies and his fragments to be translated into English. In the British Monthly Review for July 1774 the set is called "a very ingenious and respectable translation . recommended to the public as a valuable acquisition to the classics in the English language .". Plautus' plays are the earliest Latin works to have survived complete. Twenty complete plays are known to have been written by him with fragments from others surviving. His plots portray love affairs misunderstandings or the swapping of identities and many of his plays are known to be influenced or adapted from Greek New Comedy. Plautus' comedy incorporates metatheatrical references and the expansion of stock characters' roles. Plautus enjoyed portraying Roman patriarchs as villains and captive slaves as roguish comedic heroes. He remains a staple of classical curricula today with his plays often being the most humorous of a course's required readings. A handsome example of this important set. A Very Good set with minor foxing to the preliminaries the boards show minor wear to the joints bindings firm and secure and a few small areas of darkening to the front board of volume one. J. Lister for T. Becket and P A. de Hondt hardcover

réf. WALTER-FILM000419No binding. Very Good. Fine Art Print Vintage original 12 x 8"" 30 x 20 cm. midget/mini window card poster USA. Bette Davis Humphrey Bogart Lola Lane Isabel Jewell Mayo Methot Jane Bryan dir: Lloyd Bacon; Warner Brothers. Brilliant tale of hostesses told with as much candor as post-Production Code Hollywood was allowed. Working girl Bette Davis displays herself in one of her most glamorous gowns on this fine Warner Brothers poster of the period. The beaded gown represented in red on this card was made for her by Orry-Kelly. This is the film which marked Bette Davis' return to Warner Brothers after she walked out on the studio fed up with the weak roles they were giving her. She got her wish in this role. Here she plays Mary Dwight the cynical world-weary hostess of a club run by gangsters. Living with the other hostesses of the club her kid sister comes to visit and the truth of their means of living must be hidden. The woman are constantly being hauled into headquarters and questioned about their bosses. Davis' character is beaten by them to keep quiet. But then her kid sister is murdered and she unravels to the district attorney Humphrey Bogart. A classic crime melodrama. Wonderful rich colors. Very minor creases. Tow tears at the right side of the card have been reinforced with archival tape. One is in the lower area of her hair and the other just below her arm. Pin holes at each of the four corners have been filled in and reinforced with archival tape. Two small tears at the bottom have also been reinforced with archival tape. The top blank area of the card has been trimmed NEAR FINE. unknown books
1899réf. 0001206WASHINGTON DC LEIPZIG LEIPSIC. Very Good. 1899. On offer is the original 1899 manuscript diary handwritten by Rebecca P. Warner known by one and all as Bess or Bessie who was 26 at the time. Bess the oldest of 9 children offers the reader a unique view of how a prominent wealthy Washington DC family the lived at the end of the 19th century but even more important is the very intimate interesting view of Germany during one of the country's most fascinating eras of historical development pror to World War I. Bess' father was Brainard Warner Sr. who was a lawyer but made his fortune in banking real estate and land development. His company was responsible for the oversight or building of over 1000 buildings and homes in the Washington DC area. Bess's mother was Mary Jacobs Parker Warner who was descended from Edward Doty a Pilgrim and indentured servant who sailed over on the Mayflower signed the Mayflower Compact and helped to settle Plymouth Colony. This diary describes Bess' trip with her sister Anna and brother Brainard Jr. to Leipzig Germany where Brainard Jr. was the US Consul. Bess does a super job of detailing setting up house in Leipzig and also about their daily lives there. They also did a lot of traveling within Germany and she describes that as well. Research notes that the Warner family endured a lot of sadness. They lost three children at birth or very early in life. They lost their mother Mary Jacobs after the birth of Lucy who then died. They lost their son and brother Southard who committed suicide at age 33 by shooting himself while stationed as a consul in China. Then Brainard Warner Sr died two years after the death of Southard. Here are some snippets and observations from a casual reading: They went to the motette at St Thomas Kirche which was very beautiful. The church was crowded. Students belonging to a club were there. They stayed after the service and thought they might see a German wedding. They have them nearly every Saturday after motette. They got caught in the middle of a religious service. They were sitting right in front of the minister and Bess was afraid they'd get called up to do something In the evening Mrs Young telephoned to ask them over. Brainard had an engagement but Bess and Anne went. They left Leipzig for Chemnitz and went directly to the consulate where they had supper. They went with Mr Monaghan to Schellenburg where his family was summering. "This was a queer little town located on the top of a mountain" There is a beautiful castle and some old walls. Aside from that Bess thought it was an uninteresting place to spend a summer. They left on Monday. They went to a parade in honor of the King of Saxony. About 5000 men were received. They expected to see the King on horseback but he was on foot with other officers. They met Professor Gregory who showed them around some parts of the University. In the afternoon Brainard Anne and Bess called on Mrs Monroe. Brainard went out in the evening with friends. "Today is the Emperor's birthday and all the flags are out. We stood for a long time to watch the Lieut General review the officers. It was a fine sight. what little we could see though the crowd But we were nearly frozen it was so cold" Bess practiced and then went for a lesson with Herr Krause only he wasn't in. She went again at 4 pm. "He was very discouraging and said I had no independence of fingers" Bess thought it would take her several lessons to get the right finger position and that there was no royal road to piano playing. "Hard work is the only road to success in anything". She went home. They had letters from Mamma and Pa. Then they went over to hear the St Thomas Kircke choir practice such beautiful voices. They had a number of people who stopped by for visits." We actually had a count call on us Graf Laisher who was very bright and interesting. He is studying medicine at the University" He said he couldn't speak English but he was very fluent. He proceeded to show them some of his feats of exercise and they were petrified because of their rented furniture. But everything was whole when he left. In the evening Bess and Anne went to the home of Mrs Morris. They danced but it was more of a lesson for the young grandson. He fancied Bess as a teacher and so they whirled around in a circle for 2 hours. Bess wrote that dancing on the ship over was "nothing compared to my feelings after dancing in the mad German fashion" Bess Anne and Lucy went to the Catholic Church which the royal family attended. "I must say I was thoroughly disappointed in royalty as exhibited here. The king queen and two other members of the family sat in boxes on a level with the gallery of the church and just to the left of the altar. Princess Matilda is one of the coarsest people I have ever seen. She spent most of her time yawning. She must weigh at least 200 lbs. We only stayed while the King and Queen were there." The diary has approximately 141 pages of entries from January 1 1899 to August 2 1899 with some gaps in this 4" x 6 ½" diary.

A Fine UK first edition & first printing slipcased hardback - no dustjacket as issued - Paula Rego is an artist of astonishing power with a unique and unforgettable aesthetic. Taking its cues from the artist this fascinating study invites us to reflect on the complexities of storytelling on which Rego s work draws emphasizing both the stories the pictures tell and how it is that they are told. Deryn Rees-Jones sets interpretations of the pictures in the context of Rego s personal and artistic development across sixty years. We see how Rego s art intersects with the work of both the literary and the visual and come to understand her rich and textured layering of reference: her use of the Old Masters; fiction fairy tales and poems; the folk traditions of Rego s native Portugal; and her wider engagement with politics feminism and more. The result is a highly original work that addresses urgent and topical questions of gender subject and object self and other. - All my books are always securely packed with plenty of bubblewrap in professional boxes and promptly dispatched within 2-3 days - SIGNED BY PAULA REGO - Pictures available upon request. .

1877réf. 886Vernon Township Richland County Ohio 1877. Folio. 310 x 200 mm. 13 x 8 inches. Manuscript in ink. 500 pp. missing the first 3 pages. Contemporary calf well worn spine separating. Paper stock a bit brown with age; final 30 pages and lower board damaged by water. With faults a legible and useful history of Vernon Ohio. Valuable compilation of early records for the town of Vernon Ohio which was organized March 9 1825 out of the north half of Sandusky and was at this time six miles square. The population in 1840 was about one thousand. After 1845 Vernon became part of Crawford County and is well watered by the tributaries of the Sandusky River. This 'clerk's book' contains records of indenture cattle ear marks election results and an alphabetized census of "white male persons subject to perform military duties" taken in 1844. In addition there are local ordinances testimonials and depositions on town issues records of road condition and expenditures to maintain them land conveyances surety bonds and trustee services and miscellaneous town financial business as recorded by the town clerk. In addition to the records of town business and there are recorded a number of indentures from local women binding their sons to local farmers to learn the business of running a farm. In March of 1841 Mary Ann Nicolin is recorded as making an indenture for her son John the Baptist Nicolin age seven with Thomas Roe for four years. The contract outlines the terms of the indenture and mentoring that John the Baptist Nicolin will receive from Mr. Roe. Another example is an indenture between Barbara Brown and Peter Bauer binding her son age seven to Bauer until he reaches the age eighteen. One can only guess what the situation was that compelled Mrs. Brown to apprentice her boy for eleven years to local farmer to learn the trade of farming. John Warner and George Keller were town clerks both coming from York County Pennsylvania in 1837 as did several of the other early settlers to Vernon. Names of dozens of other early settlers who populated Crawford County are found in these records with information on their lively hoods and positions in society. "This section of country presents the evidence of real prosperity. It is inhabited largely by industrious energetic and hardy people who came from Pennsylvania Maryland and other Middle States." 886 . unknown
