Very faint waterstaining to the lower right corner well away from the image the frame's gilt a little rubbed in places else fine. Harding George P. Pena and ink and watercolor on paper. 1 vols. Image size is 6 x 5 inches; including border and thin gilt frame the overall dimemsions are 14 x 9 1/2 inches. A fine watercolor rendering based on Ashmole's Foundation Portrait by John Riley at Oxford's Ashmolean Museum and used as a plate in Ackermann's The History of the University of Oxford 1814. The watercolor follows Riley very closely but there are differences: the subject's hand rests on a shorter book lowering the angle of the arm there is no ring on the left hand there are slight differences in costume and the subject's face appears thinner giving the impression of a younger man. Beneath the image is lettered in black ink "Elias Ashmole Esqr. / Founder of the Ashmolean Museum Oxford." Below this in the large bottom margin is written in pencil "The Original Drawing by Geo. P. Harding executed for Ackermann published in The History of the University of Oxford 2 vols 1814." Elias Ashmole 1617-1692 scholar courtier antiquary heraldric authority and author of The Institution Laws and Ceremonies of the Order of the Garter 1672 inherited through his friendship with John Tradescant keeper of the botanical gardens at Chelsea and his widow a large collection of artifacts and curiosities which he offered to Oxford with the stipulation that the University provide a building to house it which in 1682 it did. This building in Oxford's Broad Street is now the home of The Museum of the History of Science. Thus while he did not form the collection which bears his name it was he who catalogued it brought it to Oxford ensured its survival and set the Ashmolean Museum on the path to becoming the world-class institution it is today.

1787rif. BIBLIO-42136e typographeo Clarendoniano /Academico Oxonii first editions 1787 - 1821 - 1835. 2 vols in 3 mixed set 1787 and 1821 volumes contemporary boards folio 1835 volume recent black library buckram gilt spine-title folio 45 x 28 cm. ii 98 327 41 2 143 viii 145-730 pp 9 plates. Rare in the market - only one copy traced at auction in 1959 £1500 when Sotheby's appear to have been understandably misled into thinking that one of four parts was missing. In fact the work comprises three confusingly named elements: Pars Prima 1787 Partis secundae volumen primum. 1821 and Pars secunda 1835 all present here. The 1787 first part of the Catalogue of the Oriental MSS. comprising those in Hebrew Chaldee Syriac Ethiopic Arabic Persian Turkish and Coptic was compiled over many years by John Uri a Hungarian who had studied Oriental literature under Schultens at Leyden. Uri's work was a pioneering attempt to make the Bodleian's already substantial collection better known to scholars. It was however criticized for carelessness in the 1835 concluding part of the catalogue where Pusey provides some 60 closely-printed folio pages of corrections and additions and observes that the entire series of Arabic Mss had required re-examination as a result of various cheats and deceptions practiced on the purchasers of those manuscripts. The second element of the Catalogue was published in 1821 and was the work of Alexander Nicoll an exceptionally able scholar and outstanding linguist who became Regius Professor of Hebrew at the age of 29. His volume added notices of some 234 additional Arabic MSS to those recorded by Uri. But Nicoll's premature death occurred before the publication of his second part which he had printed as far as p. 388; it was instead completed and edited with nine lithographic plates of specimens of Arabic MSS. by his successor in the Hebrew Professorship Dr. Pusey in 1835. Pusey provides altogether descriptions of 296 Arabic volumes together with his copious additions to Uri's first portion. An ex-library set which would benefit considerably from rebinding. The condition of the volumes is generally Good but: the 1787 volume in contemporary boards has a split to the upper half of the rear joint and a shorter split to the front joint with wear to the spine ends; there is waterstaining to the margins of pp 77-149 generally framing the text but somewhat impinging on it in the case of about 20 pp. Library label and marks on the front pastedown endpaper tape label around spine. 1821 Volume: in contemporary boards with a paper spine-label small piece of spine missing library label on front inside board rear board heavily rubbed and slightly worn some mild foxing and browning to contents.1835 volume: Rebound in modern black library buckram library label and marks on front free endpapera little foxing and occasional minor marks four engravings of sunbirds bound in. e typographeo Clarendoniano [/Academico], Oxonii, first editions, 1787 - 1821 - 1835 hardcover
rif. 162255Oxford: Oxford University Press in Association with The Dictionary Unit for South African English 1996. One of 100 copies signed by Mandela First edition signed limited issue number 73 of 100 copies signed by Nelson Mandela presented to supporters of the Nelson Mandela's Children's Fund which he founded and headed. A vast project the result of 25 years' study the dictionary documents the growth of South African English since the founding of Cape Town in 1652. At the time of publication English was the first language of one tenth of the population and a second language of half. The project was officially supported by Mandela's government which though upholding the 11 official languages of South Africa was keen to see English displace Afrikaans as the lingua franca of everyday business. The dictionary reflects South African English's extensive borrowing from Afrikaans the nine official Black African languages and Indian and Malay influences. It highlights terminology unique to specific racial groups and includes offensive terminology which is labelled as derogatory. Each word is followed by citations tracing its development over time. Octavo. Original blue morocco spine and front cover lettered in gilt marbled endpapers. Housed in the original cloth slipcase. A fine copy. hardcover
1894rif. 124133Oxford: printed for the Association by the Printers to the University 6 issues with the imprint of Horace Hart; the last 5 with that of Frederick Hall 1894-1919. The state of women's education in Oxford at the height of the suffragette agitation An important set of reports published by the pioneering Association for Promoting the Higher Education of Women AEW containing a mass of information relating to the state of women's education in Oxford at the height of the suffragette agitation. The earliest report dates from 1894-95 and the latest from 1918-19 each running from October of one year to the same month of the next. The sequence is incomplete with two issues missing 1900-01 and 1910-11. The reports are scarce in any sequence. WorldCat and Library Hub record runs at the London School of Economics and the British Library. The society's papers and publications are held in the Bodleian deposited there in 1975. The question of women's suffrage and its relevance within the structures of the University of Oxford had been a topic of frequent discussion prior to the formal debate on the subject at the Oxford Union on 19 February 1880. Societies like the Oxford Women's Liberal Association OWLA and the Women's Emancipation Union plus the activism of Florence Davenport Hill who had been a founder member of the Bristol Women's Suffrage society in 1868 and had since moved to Headington paved the way for groups like the AEW and later the Oxford Women's Suffrage Society. The organization's work led to the founding of four women's colleges: Lady Margaret Hall and Somerville opened in 1879 followed by St Hugh's in 1886 and St Hilda's in 1893. St Anne's also originated as part of the AEW catering for female students who lived with private families in Oxford while attending courses run by the society. The AEW counted the activist Eleanor Smith 1823-1896 among its founding members and Annie Rogers 1856-1937 Oxford's first woman don as a secretary. Perhaps the most significant sections in these reports are those titled "General Statistics" which provide accounts of lectures attended by students tutorial arrangements results of examinations donations and subscriptions. The report of 1917-18 also provides a commentary on the "extension of the University Parliamentary Franchise to women who being British subjects and not subject to any legal incapacity have attained the age of thirty and have been admitted to and passed the final examination and kept under the conditions required of women by the University the period of residence necessary for a man to obtain a degree at Oxford. They are registered on specially favourable terms as the Act admitting them is so drafted that the fee of £1 for registration cannot be required of persons who are not graduates. The Register contains at present the names of 409 women." The AEW continued its activities until November 1920 when it dissolved itself as the university by admitting women to membership had taken responsibility for them. 23 issues octavo; comprising a total of 616 pages the issues c.20-30 pp. in length. Original printed paper wrappers sewn and wire-stitched as issued. Housed in a former library's dark purple cloth flat-back box with metal latch closure paper label to spine reading "Australian Council for Educational Research". Each issue complete with stamps shelf marks and labels of the Education Department Library latterly the Board of Education Library. Overall a scarce survival in very good condition. Shelfwear and creasing to wrappers those for the earliest issue detached; rear wrapper for the 1909-10 issue torn but no loss. hardcover

1800rif. TA20This item is currently on reserve; please contact dealer for more details. Folio. Contemporary paper boards. Worn with loss boards detached stitching split with album broken into several parts. In spite of the exterior the album has preserved the contents rather well; apart from some uneven trimming to margins occasionally shaving text and worming without loss of sense to six pieces the printed material contained within is largely clean and fresh and with a few loose exceptions pasted to the album leaves. A remarkable assembly of material relating to the elections for the two Oxford borough and two Oxfordshire county seats in the early nineteenth century largely focusing on the 1812 General Election where John Atkyns-Wright John Ingram Lockhart Francis Almeric Spencer and John Fane were respectively duly elected as Members of Parliament. In addition to the relatively official and perfunctory handbills and posters addressed to 'Freemen of the City of Oxford' that necessarily accompanied Georgian elections this volume also highlights the cut and thrust of campaigning. Numerous mock wanted or lost notices for example 'Wanted An Upper Servant a steady Man to serve in an honourable House' mocking Francis Almeric Spencer as a Marlborough man squibs songsters often to the tune of the then popular Derry-Down' and verses. A full list of the contents of this volume the vast majority of which was printed in Oxford and unrecorded in either COPAC or OCLC is available on request. [vs.] hardcover
