Lord Rosebery's unobtrusive ownership blindstamp in top right-hand corner of title. Good tight copy in grubby and lightly-spotted covers. Containing three jeu d'esprit: two poems 'Ruth' and 'Esther' and a spoof 'model essay' 'to assist candidates' to the Green Philosophical Prize titled 'The Reciprocal Relations of Morals and Metaphysics'. A very short preface reads 'It is we think matter of regret that so few of our University prizes are open to Senior Members of the University. The Sacred Poem and the GREEN Philosophical Prize are we believe the only exceptions. The following Poems and Essay were humble attempts to secure these prizes; but owing possibly to some failure on the part of the Judges to appreciate their eminent merit failed in doing so. We venture to submit them to the judgment of a discerning Public.' Scarce: no copy at the British Library and the only copy on COPAC at Oxford.

Manuscript section tiles in outline capitals on separate leaves included in foliation. Complete the gap between folios 19 and 21 is a foliation error. Ruled borders throughout. Text in brown ink in a flowing cursive hand varying lines numerous insertions and deletions. The manuscript on wove paper is illustrated with 20 pen-and-ink drawings of which 7 full-page on rectos with verso blank the first five not included in the foliation and 13 half-page or smaller plus 2 small ornaments. Bound in black straight-grain morocco covers gilt paneled central panel with arabesque tooling at corners smooth spine with gilt title cartouche lettered “Bluettes” from which extend triple gilt fillets terminating in ornaments at head and tail gilt edges with moiré satin endleaves; binding a bit rubbed with corners bumped. A manuscript of poems and short prose pieces all in a romantic vein illustrated with quite accomplished pen-and-ink drawings presumably by the author whose name and the date of the manuscript are supplied on the verso of the front free endpaper: “Le Baron Achille de Cholet / Officier á l’Etat-Major / 1836”. In the first poem Aux Dames the poet calls himself a “novice Ecolier” implying youthfulness and the date of 1836 on the front fly leaf is probably at the time of writing although some of the many corrections and deletions may have been added later. The titles of the other poems or groups of poems are : Le Rin Le Déserteur L’Isolement L’Impiété Un Croix sur la Montagne La Mère du Prisonnier L’Avenir / á Melle Francine d’Hurbal Rheyms Séparation L’Enfant perdu L’Adieu au Plaisir La Campagne / á Mr le Vicomte Alfred de R. . . Le Cloches du Soir La Neige Les Pauvres and Le Jour des Rois . . . These stolid sentimental poems and prose impressions reflect the prevailing Romanticism of the period as do the far more skillfully executed pen-and-ink drawings that illustrate them. Somber or dreamlike with dark cross-hatching contrasting with lighter areas the drawings show a dark tunnel under a rocky mountainside a soldier in a garret or prison a cloaked barefoot man an emblematic trophy with musical instruments and weaponry a raven perched on ruined tombstones and columns a domestic scene of father and daughter a women on her knees the façade of Reims Cathedral surrounded by swirling clouds architectural details of cathedrals several surrounded by decaying facades and vignettes of crumbling chateaux pastoral churches and snow-covered gatehouses all of which reflect the vogue for l’ancienne France and the “pittoresque” as notably popularized by Nodier and Taylor in their Voyage pittoresque et romantiques dans l’Ancienne France 23 volumes 1820-1878. Achille de Cholet was descended from an ancient Anjou noble family according to his obituary in 1888 in the Bulletin héraldique de France vol. 7 235-6. He became an officer in the Légion d’honneur and was well known for his important topographic researches in the south of France. A few of the pieces in the manuscript are dedicated to aristocrats mainly female. It seems likely that the Baron shared his family’s Royalist views: his father had died in exile and his brother whose first name is not given in the obituary was an “ardent champion of the Royalists press” and author of a book title Madame en Vendée relating the attempted coup in 1832 of the duchesse de Berry mother of the Prentender the Comte de Chambord which was pursued and effectively banned by the tribunals indeed the work appears not be recorded in OCLC or other online OPACs. Thanks to Nina Musinsky for this description. . unknown
1726réf. AQ31788London: Printed by George James Printer to the Honourable City of London 1726. Single leaf broadside. Somewhat marked with some creasing and tearing to extremities especially at horizontal folds. A rare survival of an early eighteenth-century broadside reprinting - ordered to be distributed within the capital by the Common Council of the City of London Corporation - of two specific English laws applying severe penalties to negligent careless and criminal servants. The vast majority of the Common Council of the City of London Corporation were issued either in folio or as here broadside format. As the preamble states the intention of this was so that this legal reminder could be be 'sent into the several Wards' of London 'and by the Beadles delivered to every House-keeper that all Servants may be acquainted with the same and know the Penalties therein contain'd'. The two specific laws highlighted are 'the Clause relating to Servants in a late Act of Parliament passed in the Sixth Year of Queen Anne.Entituled An Act for the better Preventing Mischiefs that may happen by Fire' and 'also another Clause relating to Servants.Entituled An Act for the more effectual Preventing and Punishing of Robberies that shall be committed in Houses'. The first as the broadside shows made the provision for the forfeiture of 'One hundred Pounds unto the Church-Wardens of such Parish where such Fire shall happen to be distributed amongst the Sufferers by such Fire' by any 'Servant or Servants' who 'thought Negligence or Carelessness shall fire or cause to be fired any Dwelling-House or Out-House or Houses'. The second barred 'all and every Person or Persons that shall be at any time from and after the First Day of July in the Year 1713 feloniously steal any Money Goods or Chattels Wares or Merchandizes of the Value of Forty Shillings or more.shall by Virtue of this Act be abolutely debarr'd of and from the Benefit of Clergy'.

réf. 2630214 February 1974. Sprydon Broadclyst Exeter.14 February 1974. Sprydon Broadclyst Exeter. See his entry in the Oxford DNB. The recipient Philip Dosse was proprietor of Hansom Books publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including ‘Books and Bookmen’ and ‘Plays and Players’. 1p 4to. In good condition lightly aged and worn. Folded twice for postage. In autograph: ‘Dear Philip Dossé sic’ and ‘Yours sincerely / Richard Acland’. He begins by thanking Dosse for his ‘most generous letter’ with regard to his autobiography ‘Four Years Hard Labour’ and for the offer of a free advertisement in ‘Books and Bookmen’ continuing: ‘But how sad. In return for all this kindness alas I cannot help. Sad experience has taught me that I cannot review books for a quite physical reason. As a child I resisted all attempts to read the instructions in the Meccano books; and now I can read to myself no faster than I can read aloud.’ He continues on this theme before announcing that his wife has broken her forearm ‘and although she has no pain and has done a professional morning’s work as an architectural consultant it does mean that I do for her a few things that she normally does for me. I’m so sorry to fail you when you offer so much.’ He is consequently returning ‘The Private Future’ ‘with real regret because having spent nine minutes on the first six pages I can see that I should find it very interesting’. 14 February 1974.

1968réf. 1520Poster printed recto and verso with texts and images in red and black inks on white commercial stock. Ca. 14 x 20 in. Very good. Loose as issued. 1520 An unrecorded and gorgeous work by The Berkeley Commune in affinity with the International Werewolf Conspiracy and Up Against the Wall Motherfucker identified for us by UAWMF founder Ben Morea as a co-publication with New York chapters of the secretive network of radicals. Strike Anywhere calls for immediate unified militant action to take control of the America's urban centers: "if there is going to be any student-worker alliance then it will be formed as clearly seen in france not in the factories but on the streets or not at all. if poor whites & middleclass hippies are going to come together as in chicago berkeley & NY it will be in the streets. if there is going to be a true working alliance with blacks then it will come from the common struggle in the streets. the streets are where we will confront the man & where the struggle will become clear - theoretically as well as tactically. theory in not separate from life/ we need space to create the existence we want to live & in the streets we learn the man isn't going to give up space - because the existence of an alternate life is a threat to his piglife."
