Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. Dimensions:8.75 x 7 inches. pp 144. The scarce in-house staff magazine of Liberty & Co., London. Blue pebbled cloth, lettered in gilt to front cover. Black and white photographs, line drawings, sketches and cartoons illustrate the text. Original period advertisements add to the graphic interest.Contents include:London-Social Section, Liberty Amateur Athletic Association. /Loosely inserted typed letter signed by R. Killingsworth, the editor of the 'Liberty' Lamp, dated 28 December 1931 on Liberty headed notepaper, enclosed in a Liberty embossed envelope, thanking Miss M. Chappell for contributing to the magazine. Enclosed with the letter is a manuscript note dated 2010:"This is a family heirloom. 'Miss Chappell' was my father's sister, so my Aunt Elsie worked at Liberty - influenced her 'Arts and Crafts' attitude to life. I was very fond of her. Mervyn." Mervyn would appear to be Mervyn Levy, son of Mervyn Levy senior, the art critic and writer (1914-96,) friend of Dylan Thomas, and author of the classic book 'Liberty Style, The Classic Years, 1798-1910 (1986.) This is borne out by the fact that Mervyn Levy Senior's sister was Elva (Elsie) Stella Levy. / Also loosely inserted at p.15 is a MS note, signed 'Mervyn' and dated 'Feb. 2011' rebutting a suggestion on that page about the identity of the anonymous correspondent, confirming that the latter was his aunt, not a Miss E. Hunt: 'See enclosed letter, dated Dec. 1931, written to my aunt'. This scarce staff magazine, for an iconic London department store, ran for a short period only (1925-1932). Covers partly sunned and spine sunned; extremities rubbed in places. Near VG.

. The copy of Jarrett's book is Batchelor's own, with his address label at the head of the flyleaf above an affectionate verse inscription from the author. Roland Batchelor is an enduringly popular artist who specialises in a light-hearted and very human portrait of everyday French life. The sketchbooks offer a pleasing insight into the artist's process, with the undated example showing earlier stages of the process as Batchelor explores modes of representing the people he depicts, concentrating most on angle and posture; in the Normandy sketchbook we have examples very close to his finished artwork, albeit with evident traces of his thought and work. The notebook, meanwhile, a post-war issue of the Navy & Air Force Institutes with a note regarding paper shortage to front, contains extensive notes on various techniques as well as on his own work.
Ad 1: [1], [3 blank], 145, [3 blank] pp.; [3], 10, [10], [5 blank] ll., both written primarily on the rectos. Ad 2: 198, [2 blank] pp.Manuscript, apparently by the author, of one of the first printed books on Dutch poisonous plants and one of the earliest works of the eminent botanist Friedrich Miquel, giving detailed descriptions and discussing the toxic properties of nearly 200 species: flowering plants, mushrooms, grasses and berries, including belladonna and some species of nightshade. It covers both indigenous species and foreign species grown in Dutch gardens and for most species gives the Latin, Dutch, French, English, German and sometimes other names, the Linnaean class, a physical description, locations and seasons, medicinal properties and a description of the symptoms of its poisoning. It is one of Miquel s earliest works, printed in 1836-1837, and was intended primarily for physicians and laymen. Though first published at Amsterdam in 1836 as De Noord-Nederlandsche vergiftige gewassen (with the title matching the present manuscript except that the last word is spelled "gewassen"), the author signed his foreword from Rotterdam, September 1836. The text of the first edition closely matches the present manuscript, but adds the foreword and references to the engraved plates. The manuscript, like the first edition, refers to an 1835 publication. A second edition appeared in 1838.Loosely inserted in the bound manuscript is a second manuscript, probably somewhat later but in what appears to be the same hand. Its title-page bears only the single word Pharmacie, it appears to be unpublished, is written on unwatermarked wove paper and collates: [A]12 [B]16 = 28 ll., with B12-16 blank. It may therefore be an unpublished pharmacological work by Miquel. The manuscript volume is here offered together with the first edition of De Noord-Nederlandsche vergiftige gewassen. The preface of this text volume notes that all 30 plates were produced by the acclaimed lithographic artist and printer Aimé Henry in Bonn, some originally for Henry s Die Giftpflanzen Deutschlands and some newly made for the present work. The printed edition of the Noord-Nederlandsche vergiftige gewassen with an owner s inscription on the half-title and an annotation and underlining in the margin and text on p. 9. The binding of this volume is worn and some pieces of paper are missing on the spine, especially at the bottom and around the hinges. Some foxing and browning throughout the book, although a copy with the original publisher s binding. A beautiful set of two complementing volumes, not only containing the first edition of Miquel s book on Dutch poisonous plants, but also the manuscript of this work together with another rare, unpublished pharmalogical manuscript.l Ad 2: Ekama I, p. 373; Landwehr, Coloured plates 140; Nissen BBI 1388; Pritzel 6257; Stafleu & Cowan 6088. For Miquel: Stafleu, "F.A.W. Miquel, Netherlands botanist", in: Mededelingen v.h. Botanisch Museum en Herbarium . Utrecht, 220 (1966), pp. 1-95, item 11; Wittop Koning, p. 270.
[10], 994, [2 blank], "312"[=314, p. 294 + 2 blank], [2 blank], 15, [1 blank], [67], [1 blank] pp.First Dutch edition, with approximately 435 more woodcuts than Plantin's Latin edition of 1576, of one of the greatest herbals. Besides the expected herbs, medical plants, etc., it illustrates and discusses mushrooms, a coconut, corals, petrified wood and what may be a fossil fern. Matthias de Lobel (1538-1616), a Flemish botanist and physician, published his Stirpium adversaria nova in London in 1571, but greatly expanded it after his return to the Low Countries. Plantin bought 800 copies of the London edition and reissued it in 1576, cancelling a few leaves but printing extensive supplementary material to incorporate Lobel's further work. Lobel further expanded it for the present first edition in Dutch, evidently his own translation, giving the book its definitive form. The front pastedown manuscript leaf contains part of Guillaume Durand's Speculum Iuris. In a printed copy of the same work (Venice 1585) it turns out that the text after the first red initial in the top left corner (Nunc [^line above: d[icen]dum restat quid [et] q[uando] debet probari] | Et quidem p[ro]bari debet id [quod] deductu[m] est . ) matches the start of the second paragraph of the "de probationibus" section in the second volume of the work. The second (blue) initial in the bottom left corner of the leaf matches the start of the following (third) paragraph. Judging from the style of writing and rubrication, we assume that the manuscript leaf used as the back pastedown comes from the same manuscript, but we have not been able to match the manuscript text to any part of the digitized printed copies (vols. 1-4) of Durand's work.Both leaves are very likely from a manuscript that was written in Italy after 1271, in the 13th or 14th century. More specifically, these leaves probably come from a legal textbook written at the University of Bologna in a particular form of the littera textualis, namely the littera bononiensis. This variant of the formal Gothic book hand was literally named "Bologna letter", since it was mainly used to write textbooks on law and other subjects at this particular Italian university.Durand (ca. 1230-1296) was also known as William Durand; Durandus; Duranti; or Durantis. He was a French canonist, liturgical writer and Bishop of Mende (Southeast France). Durand studied law at Bologna and is known to have taught canon law at Modena in the 1260s. He worked as a chaplain and auditor of the papal palace under Pope Clement IV and later accompanied Pope Gregory X to the second council of Lyons. He went on to serve the pontifical court and papal states in different diplomatic, ecclesiastical and legal roles, under three subsequent popes.Durand's principal work was the Speculum iudiciale (or speculum iuris), a highly regarded encyclopaedic synthesis of Roman and ecclesiastical law. In contains clear general explanations of civil, criminal, and canonical procedures. Durand first compiled this work in 1271 and revised it in 1286 and 1291. Since its first conception, it has remained a very influential work, which has been used in schools and courts for centuries. Thus, many manuscripts and eventually printed editions were produced, which often meant that earlier manuscripts were regarded as irrelevant and subsequently used as binding waste like in the present work.With a 1931 owner s inscription on the first flyleaf by the Dutch physician, expressionist artist and bookbinding designer Hendrik Wiegersma (1891-1969) and his script initials above an artist s palette and brushes on the front board, and another inscription on the first flyleaf predating the that of Wiegersma: "Lobelia dinblad[?] Verbascum wollegbl.[?] Aster". With some occasional manuscript annotations in the text and margins, in brown or black ink or in pencil. The front hinge and parts of the spine have been restored and the boards are very slightly scuffed, overall the binding is still good and structurally sound. The edge of the book block is slightly stained, some water staining to the head margin, the title-page slightly worn with a few minor stains and a couple other leaves with minor marginal defects and minor rust stains of a pair of glasses which evidently was kept between pp. 260 and 261 of part 2. Otherwise still in very good condition, internally very fine and clean and with all three integral blank leaves (see STCV).l Arber, Herbals, p. 278; Belg. Typ. vol 1, 1974; Bibl.
