Description:
Edinburgh: Practical Training School of Cookery and Housekeeping, 1903. In publisher's gilt green cloth, price partially excised from front board and crossed out on title page, some pages grubby, binding beginning to loosen, but otherwise very good..

The recipes include British pub food staples like rarebit but also a fare number (pun intended) of French recipes. Griggs was an owner of the Practical Training School of Cookery and Housekeeping, on 137 George Street, Edinburgh. Oblong 8vo. [4], 119pp., [5, ads]. Scarce with Worldcat locating no physical copies.

London: Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, 1831. New edition [second edition]. About very good in publisher's grayish boards with paper spine labels, with some spotting and staining particularly to vol. II, tear to the foot of vol. I spine, boards & spines rubbed particularly to head & foot, contents clean.. [Cruikshank, George, ill.].. Intended for children and originally composed for the author's family, this three-volume work about science was first published in 1827. Originally published anonymously, in later editions authorship was credited to Paris. Dedicated to the writer Maria Edgeworth, it aims "to blend amusement with instruction", which Paris states Edgeworth has "satisfactorily demonstrated" in her own novels. Topics covered in volume 1 include momentum, geometry, elasticity, and rotatory motion, demonstrated using a yo-yo, a jack-in-the-box, and a slingshot, among other toys and games. A fascinating work in science education, the work seeks to prove "how profitably, and agreeably, the… Read More

Description:
London: Printed for R. Baldwin, Pater-Noster Row, 1791. A purported autobiographical account of Paradès's service as a spy to the French in England, where he allegedly travelled repeatedly, visiting ports and fortified towns to gather information, though eventually he fell under the suspicion of French authorities and was sent to the Bastille where he wrote his memoirs. Paradès further denounces the alleged corruption of ministers who wrongly accused him of treason after the failure of the 1779 Franco-Spanish expedition against Plymouth. Of course, it is unclear as to whether all or any of the work is true. [Bound with:] Blair, Robert. The Grave . . . to Which is Added Gray's Elegy in a Country Church Yard.

Samuel Denne which appeared in Archaeologia, v11 (1792): 375-396.

Cameron, Sedelia in Medieval England (Doctoral Thesis, University of London, 2015). 4to. 22pp. + several additional later blank leaves. ESTC N62533. A scarce work with two copies located on Worldcat and none at auction per RBH as of October 2020.
