1960réf. BBS-2025020Associated British Picture Corporation 1960. Loose Leaf. Very Good. Three-leaf three page typed report concerning the adaptation potential of Jackson's 'The Haunting of Hill House' for the screen. ABPC reader Jack Common regards the novel particularly its end as 'unsatisfactory.' He also regards the ending as 'fatal' for a filmmaker 'with no real story to back him up' a 'cheat' on the audience. 'So no recommendation.' The Haunting of Hill House was successfully adapted in 1963 by director Robert Wise and had multiple subsequent adaptations for film theater radio and television. 'Received' stamped to first page dated 19 Sep 1960. Small crinkles to top edges consistent with previous presence of a paperclip. Small pencil note to blank verso of last page. Tiny perforations along left-hand margins of all three pages serving as a delicate binding. Age-toned; very good. Associated British Picture Corporation unknown
réf. GD013479okBC2S4Church of England Church of England. The Book of Common Prayer and Administration of the Sacraments and Other Rites of the Church. England probably Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge ca. 1840's-1850's. Small 12mo contemporary blind stamped brown calf with a brass clasp lettering on upper cover includes the word "Knowledge" apparently part of the stamp of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. Title and preliminnary leaves wanting binding heavily rubbed and worn with loss along spine and joints clasp remaining scattered handling wear staining and small edge losses internally. Front board almost detached. A well used field copy. The Crimean War prayer book of John Matthews of the 21st Royal North British Fusiliers with extensive manuscript inscriptions locating him at the British camp before Sebastopol and at Scutari. Matthews records himself on an endleaf as "John Matthews No. 4 Company/21st R.N.B. Fusiliers/Camp before Sebastopol/4th Division." Elsewhere he signs the volume variously as "Private 21st Regt" and Corpl. J. Matthews 21st Fusiliers." A particulary evocative ownership verso reads in part "John Matthews is my name and England is my nation/Crimea is my dwelling place and Christ is my salvation" followed by the traditional lines asking that the little book remember him after his death. Additional manuscript entries include "Scutari Bk. Hosp./Near Constantinople" apparently referring to the Barrack Hosiptal at Scutari together with a list of Crimean locations and actions: "Alma" "Inkerman" "Balaclava"and "Sebastopol." The 21st Royal North British Fusiliers served with the 4th Division in the Crimea and participated in the principal operations of the campaign. An unusually personal surviving devotional object from the Crimean War: a soldiers pocket Book of Common Prayer carried and repeatedly inscribed during the campaign with direct contemporary references to Sebastopol Scutari and the major battles of the war. The partial SPCK blind stamp is particularly appropriate the Society having distributed Prayer Books among British servicemen during the period. Lacking title page and therefore without a securely identifiable imprint or edition; date and SPCK attribution based on binding topography and surviving cover lettering. Hard Cover. Fair/No Dust Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Church of England Hardcover

Among the many questions addressed here are: Is the common law based on principles or not If so what are they and where do they come from Can judges make up principles Are logic and reason still principles of the law Does the European Union law enjoy higher law status Does human rights law enjoy higher law status With the great emphasis today placed on rights does the old principle still hold true that "Where there's a right there's a remedy" What has happened to the doctrine "Nobody shall profit from his own wrongdoing" And what about the human rights supposedly guaranteed by the European Convention This book focuses on two: individual liberty and freedom of expression. Michael Arnheim addresses these questions and also examines practical principles which can make all the difference to for example the validity of a will the interpretation of a contract or the outcome of a claim in negligence or administrative law. Written is a straightforward easily accessible style and drawing on recent cases such as those involving Tony Martin Naomi Campbell Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones this book will be illuminating to practicing lawyers and students alike. -- with a bonus offer--; 520-Arnhe; Arnheim Michael T.

Tes kaines diathekes apanta. 12mo. 2 419 1 pp. First edition of this Greek translation of the Book of Common Prayer. The preface is signed "I.D." i.e. James Duport a popular professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge who had the year before printed a translation of the Psalter which appears here with the BCP as issued under a separate title-page and Ordinal along with the Greek New Testament and Apocrypha the title-page of the New Testament being an insert and the Apocrypha having separate pagination. This is only the second translation of the BCP into Greek following the first by Elias Petley in 1638. There were apparently two settings of this edition produced by printer John Field in the same year under the same title and imprint with priority not established; the present example has line six of the main title-page all in capital letters and the "Alma mater Cantabrigia" device following the last page of the Psalter but while the sun is on the left and the cup on the right of the Psalter title-page device they are reversed on the New Testament title-page apparently indicating that the New Testament is from a variant post-dating the BCP and Psalter. Binding: Contemporary mottled calf Cambridge-style covers framed in double gilt fillets and panelled in triple gilt fillets with gilt-tooled corner fleurons; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-ruled compartments. Provenance: Front free endpaper with early inscription in red pencil: "Gibson's / Queens / Oxon. / 1787." Most recently in the library of American collector Albert A.

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.

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. Boards heavily worn head and foot of spine chipped. Very minor scattered foxing. Good plus. In a brown half morocco and cloth slipcase. ESTC T108621 T108605 T43921.
