1987Previous owner's bookplate to front end paper. No marks or inscriptions. Extremely faint crease to front cover, none to rear or to spine. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. 80pp. This work of full-page colour photographs by Paul Graham deals with the small but insistent signs of deep political division within the landscape of Northern Ireland in the 1980s. 'The foreword by Declan McGonagle contrasts the work against the melodramatic imagery of the North and places the Troubles in a broader framework of the marginalisation and denial of power that has been the hallmark of British cononialism for centuries. The main text by Gerry Badger examines the genre of reportage photography and positions this work within a new generation of intelligent documentary photography that represents ideas rather than furnishing simple visual records or illustrating words.'

1729rif. 27852London: J. Newcomb 1729. First Edition Rare. Illustrated with the engraved frontispiece portrait. 8vo bound in later half-calf over marbled boards the spine with raised bands compartments decorated with panel designs in gilt black morocco lettering label gilt. 2 135; 62 appendix pp. A very well preserved unpressed and crisp copy the portrait with a bit of old evidence of damp unobtrusive and visually mostly confined to the verso. An English soldier adventurer and Jacobite conspirator Bernardi's involvement in an assassination plot against William III led to his subsequent forty-year imprisonment without proper trial in Newgate. While the principal conspirators were executed Bernardi and five others were held without coming to trial initially for a year ostensibly to gather further evidence. However their continued imprisonment was sanctioned by subsequent Acts even after William III's death. Bernardi's life in prison was made difficult by effects of the old wounds he had sustained in the 1670s. Bernardi also complained that his confinement in the "dismal and loathsome" gaol had cost him "above seven hundred pounds for his lodging". J. Newcomb hardcover
1826rif. (LCPCVOY-0027)(Une rare description de l'Irlande et des irlandais, conservée dans sa brochure imprimée d'origine) JOUY Etienne DE - JAY Adolphe-François-Marie. "L'HERMITE EN IRLANDE, OU OBSERVATIONS SUR LES MOEURS ET USAGES DES IRLANDAIS AU COMMENCEMENT DU XIX SIECLE". 1826, Paris, Pillet l'aîné. 2 volumes in-12° (182x114 mm) (dimensions pages 180x113 mm) I : (2) ff.

Des gravures et des vignettes. (I : (2) ff., 1-12(12), 13(10) ; II : (2) ff., 1-11(12), 12(14)) Brochure bleue imprimée originale. Edition Originale, rare. Rares infimes brunissures, mais très bel exemplaire, frais. Superbe exemplaire tel que paru, à toutes marges, non rogné et conservé dans sa brochure imprimée d'origine. Ouvrage curieux sur l'Irlande, ses habitants, leurs coutumes, croyances et style de vie. Des anecdotes rapportées sont l'occasion pour fournir la description des lieux et des paysages et pour dessiner le caractère des irlandais. "... malgré sa misère et sa pauvreté, le paysan irlandais n'est pas sans orgueil et sans ostentation. Celui dont la chaumière est divisée en deux appartemens par une mauvaise cloison en terre, donne au second le nom de salon, et le sentier boueux qui traverse le champ de pommes de terre qu'il appelle son jardin, prend celui de grande route. J'ai eu une servante qui refusait de s'aquitter de certains ouvrages de domesticité, parce qu'elle aurait cru, en s'en chargeant, dégrader le sang des rois Connaught, dont elle se prétendait descendre". "On reproche aux paysans d'Irlande leur penchant pour la boisson, leur humeur vindicative et leurs dispositions querelleuses : ces reproches ne sont pas sans fondement. Le POTTEN distillé en fraude est à si bon marché, et il est si facile de s'en procurer, que c'est une tentation à laquelle il leur est difficile de résister. Il arrive souvent qu'ils sont eux-mêmes honteux de leur ivresse, et qu'ils font serment de ne plus y retomber. SERMENT D'IVROGNE est un proverbe qui n'est pas applicable à l'Irlande, car tout serment s'y exécute à la lettre ; mais c'est cette exécution littérale qui leur fournit des moyens d'évasion. Par exemple, un d'eux ayant fait voeu de ne plus boire de whiskey chez lui ni hors de chez lui, se mettait sur le seuil de sa porte, tenant en main un verre de ce beuvrage séducteur, et il le buvait en toute sûreté de conscience, un pied hors de sa maison et l'autre dans l'intérieur".
