1898Twenty leaves on heavy stiff paper stock. With 18 illustrations by Wycliffe Taylor printed in sepia, accompanying an appropriate verse. Oblong folio. 370 x 280 mm. Original pictorial paper covered boards binding, lettered and decorated in red. Binding worn at the edges, but overall very good. Harry Cumberland Bentley (1861-1913) was an English sporting author and poet. He was famed as the 'Bard of the Pytchley Hunt.' In this book there is a 1930 manuscript presentation from 'Mouse Bentley'. This is probably the author's daughter - Violet Esmé Hawkesworth (Field) (Hassall) (Bury) (Bentley) [1898-1986]. Fanciful imagination has pictured a trout swimming up the River Ayr, passing into the Lugar Water at Barskimming, entering the Black Loch via the Glaisnock Water and thence into the Black Loch. The second outflow from the loch would carry the trout into Creoch Loch, then into the Loch o' th' Lowes, the River Nith and finally into the Solway Firth after a journey of around seventy miles. A very scarce and attractive angling title. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! OVERSIZE 1 / DC1
1821Three volumes. 8vo. Uncut. Foxed. Bound in the original boards, which have become quite worn and broken. This true First Edition would make a good candidate for classy rebinding. "Kenilworth was born out of Constable's suggestion to write a novel set during the time of Queen Elizabeth; however, Scott rejected the suggestion that it be entitled "The Armada" because he had other ideas than centring the novel on the epic events of the invasion. He based the novel around the legend of the murder of Amy Robsart, a story told in Meikle's old ballad, which had been one of Scott's favourite poems. However, Scott did accept Constable's suggestion of naming the novel Kenilworth instead of "Cumnor Hall". The publisher applauded this decision with the exclamation: "By God, I am all but the author of the Waverley Novels!" When Kenilworth appeared in 1821 it was an immediate success with both readers and critics. The Edinburgh Review praised Scott for bringing to life the character of Queen Elizabeth, and for the way in which he contrasted the evil plotting of Varney against the grandeur of Kenilworth Castle." It was a grand best-seller on both sides of the Atlantic. FIRST EDITION / FIRST ISSUE. W151.
