London, John Murray, 1822. . First edition. 4to, vi, 333 pp., 16 lithographed plates, one folding, 2 engraved folding maps, occasional foxing, contemporary calf gilt, green morocco label, a fine copy. Waddington and Hanbury, both Cambridge fellows, decided to embark on an antiquarian tour of Egypt. They were received by the Governor, Mohammed Ali, who gave them permission to travel into Upper Egypt. Dressed as Turks and accompanied by an Irishman, James Curtin, two Maltese, and a setter dog named Anubis, they ascended the Nile as far as Meroe. Whilst there they encountered the American traveller George English, and at Wadi Haifa met the French mineralogist Frederic Cailliaud, both of whom were described in offensive terms by Waddington who had little time for Westerners who appeared to have 'turned native.' Abbey Travel 289; Hilmy II, 134; Gay 2693.

Description:
Northamptonshire, [c. 1280]. . Manuscript on vellum, in Latin; single leaf (16.5 x 25.5 cm); single column, 15 lines of text in an elegant court hand (Anglicana), ruled in plummet, lower edge folded and tied with contemporary vellum tag (without seal), some soiling to margins and verso, ex libris annotations to verso in a later secretary hand, small pinholes to corners. A late thirteenth-century gift of land in the parish of Waldegrave, Northamptonshire from Henry de Waldegrave to his brother Walter. Henry gives his occupation as 'pellyarius', a furrier who dealt in untreated animal and bird skins, fur, wool, hair, and feathers. The family came to prominence in the fourteenth century with Sir Richard Waldegrave (d.1410), a soldier and politician who was elected speaker of the House of Commons in 1381, and later served at the court of Richard II. The deed includes an interesting clause designed to prevent the future alienation of the land to religious orders and Jews ('contra omnes homines [et]… Read More

Description:
London, printed for J. Nourse, opposite Catherine-Street, Strand, 1778. . First edition. 8vo (22 x 14 cm), [ii], 110 pp., expert marginal restoration to last six leaves affecting 4 words on last page (now in ink facsimile), a couple on the penultimate, and page numbering to the others, old staining to title and first leaf of text, well bound in modern half-calf gilt, red morocco label, a well margined copy, untrimmed on the fore-edge, and, other than the defects mentioned, a good clean example. One of the rarest items concerning the Second Voyage. 'Wales, who was the astronomer in the Resolution, challenges the accuracy of a number of the statements in George Forster's account of [Cook's] Second Voyage and speaks in very disparaging terms of the elder Forster' (Holmes). The errors in the work were, apparently, only very minor, but there was considerable ill feeling directed towards the Forsters by some members of the expedition. It may be said that those who were inclined to support Lord… Read More
