1983réf. 2203San Francisco: North Point Press 1983. First edition. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. A nice association copy: his mother's copy Signed by Berry and numbered 2/100 of a limited signed edition opposite the title page presumably he kept the first copy or gave it to his wife. Uncommon or scarce signed the only copy available as of this writing. As an accompanying letter of provenance explains after the book came back to Berry following his mother's death he donated it to the Pendleton County Public Library in Kentucky to help it rebuild after its collections were lost to a devastating flood. As Berry's preface explains this book is a revision of an out-of-print novel first published in 1967 substantially revised and cut by about a third. He concludes the preface: "This then is not a new book but a renewed one." Set in his fictional town of Port William Kentucky the land itself and its rhythms are the essential character. Handsome auburn paper boards with a blue cloth spine. Very good with very mild rubbing to corners and spine ends and faint foxing to text block faces. In a very good or better jacket with just a hint of toning to the pale rear panel's edges but the jacket is slightly misaligned on the book possibly a printer's error as it seems a little small. A sweet copy. More about the book: "Part ribald farce part lyrical contemplation Wendell Berry's novel is the story of a place-Port William Kentucky-the farm lands and forests that surround it and the river that runs nearby The rhythms of this novel are the rhythms of the land. A Place on Earth resonates with variations played on themes of change; looping transitions from war into peace winter into spring browning flood destruction into greening fields absence into presence lost into found." .

réf. 11193Manchester: 1741-c.46. No binding. Fair. THE FIRST PLAN OF MANCHESTER. 695 x 1230 mm. in two sheets joined with some support repairs to the verso but no apparent loss edges re-margined just affecting ornamental border below otherwise in good condition. This is the first known plan of the cities of Manchester and Salford. It is an extremely ornate plan complete with inset views of significant buildings and a fine panorama of the city below. It illustrates the cities as the population was growing rapidly but still arguably before the industrial revolution was to re-write its character. It was printed in 1741 by Russel Casson and John Berry. Casson fl.1741-47 is listed in Eden as a surveyor. John Berry d.1765 as identified was a merchant grocer at the New Tea Warehouse Manchester. His advert on the plan identifies the many wares he sold which include buttons jewellery silver medicines cough drops music and musical instruments including 'fiddle strings'. The two cities were divided during the English Civil War with Salford supporting the Royalist cause and Manchester the Parliamentarians. Similarly Salford was host for another important period of English history. In 1745 just four years after this was published the city supported Bonnie Prince Charlie's claim to the English throne and hosted him and his army where he was blessed by Reverend John Clayton before marching to London. He was housed by John Dickenson at 44 market Street whose house is illustrated upper right. As a result the house was nicknamed 'The Palace'. Just nine days later Bonnie Prince Charlie returned defeated. The main plan is orientated with north to the lower left. Deansgate runs top right to the centre of the city. Kay Street is most likely Quay Street. Other points of reference above Deansgate include King Street 'St. Jame Square' and M Street Market Street. Shude Hill on the left marks the site of the Arndale Centre today. At the bottom is Gravel Lane which still exists just south of present-day Trinity Way. An inset lower right illustrates the area as it was in 1650 the source has since been lost. The plan is keyed by upper- and lower-case letters which refer to two side reference panels identifying 118 points of interest along with an additional 9 below the advertisement. Below is a superb panoramic view at bottom derived from that by Robert Whitworth first published in 1729 by Henry Overton and John Hoole. Above the two reference panels are two further describing the cities of Manchester and Salford. They highlight the growth in population and that the area now has about 6000 houses and 30000 inhabitants. It goes on to state that the three main trades are Cotton manufacturing the check trade and small wares which include lace tapes etc. One unpleasant reference states that 'Children even of 4 or 6 years old who by spinning winding or weaving may earn more here than in any other part of ye Kingdom'. Flanking either side are 6 images of key buildings including the residences of Mr. Floyd Mr. Marsden Mr. Croxton Francis Reynolds Mess. Clowes and Mr. Marriott. These are supplemented with those of Mr. Howarth Mr. touchet Mr. Dickenson Mr. Johnson and Miles Bower above the main plan. Here also is found a view of St. Anns Square. The whole is surrounded by a side border of oak leaves and acorns with shells in the corners. A scale is placed in the lower border. The engraving is the work of Benjamin Cole 1697-1783 who signs it lower right one of four of that name identified by Worms and Baynton-Williams who state that they are most likely related. His earliest recorded work is a magnificent four-sheet plan of Richmond in Yorkshire for Robert Harman published in 1724 of which just three examples are known. He died in London in 1783. There are believed to be five known states the first being published and dated 1741 which lacks the panorama below. This third state includes the panorama and adds a small compa 1741-[c.46] unknown
