réf. 75570N.p. London: Elstree Studios/ABPC Collins 1952.

Perforations down left edge from office binding. Very well preserved. Book: some dustiness jacket with some chips and tears toned. Very good. Agatha Christie's Miss Marple detective novel They Do It With Mirrors was published by Collins Crime Club on 17th November 1952. The book was received by Elstree's Reading Department on 28th November 1952 the report written on 6th December and delivered four days later blue ink rubber-stamped date to front. Its verdict on the novel was lukewarm stating: 'not strong at any point. Characters setting action are only faintly sketched in. no for us I feel'. They Do It With Mirrors was not filmed until 1985 as 'Murder With Mirrors' starring Sir John Mills Bette Davis and Tim Roth.

1778réf. 44871London: Henry Fenwick 1778. The county of Middlesex essentially London was the heart of radical politics in England at the time of the Revolution and the greatest pro-American feeling was found in the merchants and working classes of the metropolis. The colonists often appealed directly to Middlesex for support. These works contain petitions relating to the American colonies dating from June 1774 to March 1778 including petitions regarding the Quebec Act in which the people express their concern over the encroachment of Catholicism and French influence in the colony. Likewise it includes the text of a letter from John Hancock to the mayor of London dated September 1775 expressing a hope for peace between Britain and the colonies. Adams notes that these two titles are often found bound together sometimes with other publications of the Council. The petition of the freeholders of Middlesex County concerns the John Wilkes case. Wilkes ran for Parliament and was elected as a radical candidate for Middlesex but was arrested and imprisoned shortly thereafter for seditious libel. Wilkes spoke out against the British war against the American colonies and his opposition to the Crown was a rallying point for the American cause. Contemporary calf spine gilt leather label.

réf. 017685[La Rochelle] Plusieurs Citoyens de cette Commune, Notice sur la nouvelle Nomenclature des Rues de la Rochelle. La Rochelle, P.L. Chauvet, an troisième [1794-1795]. In-8, XIV-466p. Edition originale et unique de cet ouvrage profondément révolutionnaire qui avait tenté de renommer toutes les rues de La Rochelle pour en supprimer les noms pour « la plupart insignifiants » ou entachés de souvenirs « de la superstition et du despotisme » et les remplacer par des noms favorables aux idées nouvelles, « propres à instruire et à intéresser les citoyens » : Bonnet rouge, Ca-ira, Carmagnole, Cocarde, Constitution, Contrat-Social, Convention, Droits de l'Homme, Jeu de Paume, Panthéon, Piques, Quatorze juillet, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Sans-Culottes, Sans-Culotides. Chaque rue avait donc sa notice permettant d'exposer un point de vue républicain. Ainsi, donnant un exemple révélateur avec le siège de Granville. Les auteurs précisent, après avoir parlé de « cette infâme horde de brigands » : « Les femmes et les enfants ne voulant pas être vains spectateurs des exploits de leurs maris et de leurs pères, formèrent entre eux une chaine de correspondance de l'arsenal aux batteries, et fournissaient ainsi avec une célérité incroyable les boulets qui allaient foudroyer les brigands. Ceux-ci eurent pendant l'attaque la sacrilège imprudence de proposer aux assiégés de crier : vive Louis XVII ! - Tenez, voilà du dix-huit, répondirent les canonniers en pointant leurs pièces » (p.322). Aucun exemplaire passé récemment sur le marché et un seul exemplaire dans les institutions publiques (Paris, Assemblée Nationale). La Bnf ne possède qu'une copie sur microfilm (numérisée sur gallica), probablement d'après l'exemplaire de l'Assemblée Nationale. Broché, couverture papier bleu (renouvelée mais papier ancien), gardes renouvelées, non rogné. Très rare ouvrage.
