Contact seller5-star sellerHardcover. Original navy blue cloth, gilt-stamped lettering on upper board and spine, illustration mounted to upper board; approx. pp. 80, with 28 pencil portraits (one per page, with many pages left blank, one portait tipped-on). A cute little gift book, each page with a printed heading making a pun on the face, with two lines…for a name and date at the bottom -- on the verso only, inviting 40 portraits (or thereabouts). The artist has filled most of them and, in many cases, invited her subject to sign and date their own portrait. An adept artist, she's sketched numerous members of her family and friends -- young and old, male and female, frontal or in profile. A nice item, just a bit scuffed at spine tips and corners. Lightly finger-smudged throughout (as one would expect), and two pages neatly torn away.

manuscript in ink on paper, in 2, or 3, hands beginning at both ends, paper watermarked 1853, small pencil vignette on rear fly-leaf, pp. [56], [78], with numerous blanks between, 8vo, original roan backed boards, spine lettered in gilt 'MSS', a little rubbed and worn, headcaps defective, but solid. A curious common-place book,…in that it seems to be a combined operation, with the passages at the beginning being of a mainly religious nature, and apparently written by a woman, while those at the end are apparently the work of a man, and mainly light hearted (first text: A Bachelor's Soliloquy). At the front, most of the named authors are women (Jane Taylor and Anne Gilbert favourites), while those at the back are are men (Longfellow a favourite). At the front, one extract is a sermon by Rev. Thomas Stratten, of the Fish Street Congregational Church in Hull. Stratten was a graduate of Hoxton College. A vessel bearing his name was sunk by a U-boat mine off the Butt of Lewis in 1917.

Manuscript on paper. 145 leaves of text, the remainder blank. Contemporary blind-ruled vellum. Extremities marked and discoloured. Scattered spotting. A choice eighteenth-century manuscript commonplace with extensive transcriptions, in a single legible hand, of passages from notable authors, including Milton, Ovid, Pliny, Locke…and Shakespeare (Othello, Merchant of Venice, Macbeth etc.) gathered under appropriate headings concerned with emotional and moral states (honesty, virtue, hope etc.) In addition, there are a number of apparently original verse compositions referencing, and indeed possibly by, Church of England clergyman, and Chaplain to the Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire, Matthew Frampton (fl. 1747-1782); though if not seemingly by an anonymous author who knew him intimately Size: Quarto.
