Small closed tear to frontispiece repaired plus two or three short closed tears in text a few small nicks to leaves mild scattered foxing throughout. An sympathetically rebound copy in fine condition. The first and most comprehensive book on the infamous body-snatching serial killers William Burke 1792-1829 and William Hare being published in the same year as the trial and execution for a British audience eager for the macabre details of the sensationalist case. The authorship has been attributed to the publisher Thomas Ireland with the help of various contemporary sources. Contains dramatic trial reports confessions crime scene illustrations a harrowing description of Burke's execution phrenological measurements and descriptions of Burke's public dissection "The quantity of blood that gushed out was enormous that. the classroom had the appearance of a butcher's slaughterhouse from its flowing down and being trodden upon". Cheaply printed on rag pulp paper copies tend not to have survived; those that are found in commerce are either ex-library foxed or as here rebound. Certainly not one for the squeamish but a significant book for true crime enthusiasts and social historians. Rare. Edinburgh; Thomas Ireland, Junior, 1829. hardcover

1616Carta geografica tratta dal Tabularum Geographicarum contractarum libri septem di Petrus Bertius, edizione latina del 1616. L'opera contiene 219 carte che illustrano questa nuova versione della geografia del Bertius, per la prima volta pubblicata nel 1612 con le carte di Barent Langenes. Le carte derivano dal grande atlante di Mercator/Hondius, delle quali molte rappresentano una semplice riduzione. "After the death of Cornelis Claesz in 1609, Jodocus Hondius II became the new publisher of the work, composed by 7 parts in 1, with engraved title-page and 220 full-page engraved maps in text. All the maps were newly engraved and slightly larger in size, because Hondius was not able to acquire the original plates. With the new plates the work was definitely improved and enjoyed a growing demand of the public, which at that time had the choice between the Atlas Minor by Mercator and Bertius' Tabularum Geographicarum. The 219 plates, with the oval world map appearing twice, were produced to illustrate a new version of the geography of Bertius, published in 1616. According to King, their correct attribution is by Hondius, after Mercator and Hondius, taken from Bertius, who was only responsible for revising his text again" [cfr. G. King, Miniature Antique Maps]. Incisione in rame, perfette condizioni. A superior rival to the pocket Ortelius atlas appeared about 1598, under the imprint of Barent Langenes and Cornelis Claesz. Claesz also published the Tabularum Geographicarum contractarum libri septem, edition with texy by Petrus Bertius, in 1600.
