1849rif. 6425New York:: V.G. Audubon 1849-54. First Royal Octavo Edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. A fine original hand-colored lithograph on paper. Royal Octavo 10.5 x 7 inches. Drawn from nature by John Audubon drawn on stone by William E. Hitchcock and lithographed printed and colored by JT Bowen Philadelphia. Accompanied by the original text written by the Reverend John Bachman DD. The Quadrupeds of North America; portrayals of 155 four-legged mammals native to North America depicted in their natural environment was a collaborative effort between the premier nineteenth century American Ornithologist Naturalist Artist and Frontiersman John James Audubon 1785-1851 his sons John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon and the naturalist Reverend John Bachman. The four men were unified in their desire to document and portray what they recognized as a dwindling resource; America's native animals amidst the natural beauty of the untouched American landscape. Their collective wisdom predicted the impending effects of Manifest Destiny- man's encroachment on the wilderness and natural landscape of North America- and as such was the impetus for the journey. To document and then portray America's native animals in the splendor and majesty of the uninhabited North American landscape the team traveled westward from Audubon's home in Mill Grove Pennsylvania up the Missouri River and through territory just previously explored by Lewis and Clark; from the Canadian border of the Northern Russian Territories- now Alaska- then southward to Mexico. Arduous and monumental the journey is recognized in the pathos of the compositions. However the true legacy of the work rests on John James Audubon's prolific vision and mastery of his subject and medium. Heretofore unseen The Quadrupeds of North American is a wildlife classic: an essential and timeless contribution to both Early American culture and the Art of American Wildlife Painting. The American Review a Whig journal heralded the national origin of the Quadrupeds: "We have at last have a Great National Work; originated and completed among us- authors artists and artisans of which are our own citizens the Bible of Nature!"

1775rif. 3730London: Printed for T.Lowndes 1775 1775. First edition. 4to. 265x210mm. pp. iv 764 10 index. Ten engraved plates frontispiece portrait of the author and a further nine. The verso of the second leaf of preliminaries is numbered vi. Some foxing in places but otherwise internally very good with the plates in excellent condition. Handsomely bound in slightly later red straight-grained morocco upper and lower covers decorated with two double fillet borders in gilt enclosing a continuous "drawer-handle" design in blind and framing a continuous swag and drop border in blind. Spine with five double raised bands decorated in gilt and blind and lettered in gilt to the second and fifth compartment. Edges of the boards decorated in gilt. Turn-ins decorated in gilt with a wavy dotted line and ears of wheat with a flower motif in the corners. All edges gilt. The binding is of a very high standard. It is unsigned but the tooling and overall design conforms to the work of the German emigré binders and we would tentatively attribute the binding to either Christian Kalthoeber or John Bohn and date it to the 1790s or the very early years of the 1800s. A previous owner has inscribed the verso of the front free endpaper "Bound by Edwards of Halifax ". This seems unlikely but it is possible given the subject matter of the book and the links between Edwards and the German emigré binders that this copy did pass through Edwards's hands. John Watson 1723-1783 was that perfect eighteenth-century combination of clergyman and antiquary. He was the curate of Halifax between 1750 and 1754 and retained links with the town throughout his life. Starting with Druidical remains and moving through Roman affairs Watson brings the reader up to the eighteenth century. He covers the history of Halifax and provides details of the main buildings in the town as well as exploring fascinating byways such as "Remarks on the Dialect of Halifax""Vocabulary of Uncommon Words used in Halifax" and "A Catalogue of Plants Growing in the Parish of Halifax".

1850rif. 0010080France. Good with no dust jacket. 1850. Ephemera. On offer is an outstanding example of the Catholic Churchs teachings at a grass-roots level in 19th century France. This beautiful handwritten sermon is titled Sermon de III Dimanche de Careme Sermon for the 3rd Sunday of Lent and notes that it is given by Monsieur le Cure the Parish Priest. The handwriting is small and clear and an excellent example of the penmanship of the time. The source of the sermon is unknown. There is no specific reference to a parish community or author. We do know from its title that it was written to be given at a mass on the 3rd Sunday of Lent. The Easter Season of Lent and Easter Sunday is the most important in the Catholic church more so than Christmas. An excerpt from the sermon: Les miracles que Dieu fait en notre faveire sont toujours des marques de la bonte et de la misericordie et les infirmites que JC aurit sont la figures des differentes maladies de notre ame .Translation: The miracles that God does in our favor are always marks of goodness and mercy and the infirmities that JC would have are the images of the different diseases of our soul.Throughout his text you can see where he has crossed out words and edited expressions. This was very much a living manuscript in his hands. For a social historian this is an excellent look into the world of the average French person and into the thought processes of the clergy who so dominated life in the small towns and villages of France in the 19th century. This manuscript measures 6.0 inches by 6.25 inches and contains 34 carefully handwritten pages. It is 100% complete. The manuscript is simply folded along a centre line. There is no cover but the pages are in fine condition. ; 16mo 6" - 7" tall; 34 pages . unknown

Heavily rubbed and marked without lettering-piece. Later ink ownership stamp of I. Tritton to FFEP occasional slight chipping to margins offsetting. An enlarged edition of an immensely popular introduction to English history via the most influential of her monarchs. First printed in 1772 the work reached 11 editions by 1801. The work is commonly attributed to hack-writer and compiler of numerous Newbery publications Richard Johnson 1733/34-1793 whose name is frequently connected with the alias of the Reverend Mr. Cooper however his contribution has been called in the question by recent scholarship with Roscoe with reference to Weedon’s Richard Johnson and the Successors to John Newbery going so far as to doubt his involvement entirely.

1870rif. 030898LONDON: George Bell & Sons 1870 A nice set of the second edition of Morris's History of British Birds. In 6 volumes with original decorative cloth bindings and 365 hand coloured plates as called for. The bindings are all clean with bright gilt pictures of birds to each front board and gilt titles and decoration to spine. There is some wear: volume I has some cloth splitting at the hinges and splitting at the rear endpaper with rubbing to corners; volumes II III and IV have very slight pulling to top and bottom of spine and a little rubbing at corners; volume V has very small splits at the top and bottom of the spine; and volume VI has a 1 inch tear at the top of the spine with no loss and scuffing at the corners. Internally all have the original endpapers; the first section including the frontispiece is becoming loose on volumes I II and III; volume IV is sound but the stitching is looser than on the others. There is a little spotting to some plates and text pages but in general the contents are very clean looking unread and the plates are bright and well coloured. A few plates in volume III lack tissue guards and the plate of the Whitethroat is present but detached. Volume 5 has 4 plates present but detached: the Little Stint Schinz's Sandpiper Pochard and Polish Swan - and pages 131-134 the same. A few pages have been roughly opened and a few have darkening to edges. Overall the set is complete with bright bindings and well coloured plates. George Bell & Sons hardcover
