Description:
Oxford: Emberlin and Son, 1907. Stiff card wraps. Fine. The Letter-Writing pamphlet is 4 by 3". 39pp. Publisher's ads appear on pages 36-39, and the last page is blank. Even though the reverse of the title page states "First Published 1890", this is clearly published about 1907 as the list of Lewis Carrolls' ends with "Feeding the MInd". See Crutch, 223d,(1). The stamp case bears the statement on the rear: "Invented by /[Cheshire cat smile] /Lewis Carroll/MDCCCLXXXIX". The case into which it slips is the second state with the publisher's imprint above the Cheshire cat. This is a very nice set with hardly any trace of wear and only normal signs of ageing. The outer envelope is not present. .

Cádiz: Revista Médica, 1847. First edition. Hardcover. Very good. 12mo. 224pp. followed by 29pp of appendices. Contemporary quarter leather, spine gilt, marbled ans embossed paper over boards, marbled endpapers and edges. Inner hinge and spine neatly mended, edges worn, else this is a very good copy. The scarce first printing of Castro's groundbreaking History of the Jews in Spain. A member of the Royal Academy, he was so impartial that he felt a need to remark on page 8: "Escribo esta historia sin pasion, ni artificio, como de cosas que nada me tocan. Ni soi judio, ni vengo de judaizantes" (I write this history dispassionately and without craft, as concerning things that do not touch me. I am not a Jew, nor am I of Jewish descent.) Unlike others who followed him, he condemned the Inquisition. His HIstory was translated into English in 1851 by Rev. Edward Kirwan, Cambridge. In Spanish. .

Eight full color prints by Castro Pacheco: La Siesta (1992), Los Músicos (1979), Los Amantes (1992), Mujeres Platicando (1992), Mujer en Rojo (1979), Mujer en Blanco (1990), Mujer Recargada (1985), and La Cinta (1992), Text (on rear cover) is in Spanish. Each print is signed in pencil by the artist. One of 500 numbered copies signed by Castro, of which this is No. 342. Fernando Castro Pacheco was a noted Mayan artist, and is especially remembered for the huge "murals" of Mayan history which adorn the walls of the Governor's Palace in Mérida, Yucatan. While this title was obviously published in 2000, it is housed in a publishers box dated 2013, the date of the artist's death. We believe that, of the original 500 copies signed by the artist in 2000, the small number remaining unsold at his death were specially packaged by the publisher, The box is of brown… Read More

Description:
London: John Murray, 1824. First edition. Hardcover. Very good. 8vo. vii,(1),208pp. Original drab boards, cloth spine. Engraved frontispiece of James I and a large folding engraving of a charter by him in his own hand. Boards worn at edges, but text block totally uncut (as expected), though there is some light foxing to the first few pages. The cloth spine, if not original, is very early. Someone has printed the title on the spine in black ink. Contains the poetry of James V, Mary, Queen of Scots, Charles Darnley, Charles I and James VI, but the bulk of the text is devoted to James I's 'Quair'. An admirer of Chaucer and Gower, James composed the 'Quair' in the strain used by those poets. In old English, a 'quair' is a book. The poem is an allegory in which heathen deities and canonized saints are conjoined to celebrate the Lady Jane Beaufort, later the poets Queen. Scarce in first edition and not easily obtainable in boards. .
