Soft cover. Condition: New. 8vo, (235 x 155 mm), pp. 72; four illustrations; in paper wrappers.Julia Alpinula is a legendary Swiss heroine, whose pathetic fate in AD 69 inspired popular historians, dramatists, artists, and poets including an infatuated Byron over a period of more than two hundred years. Her very existence, howev…er, was based entirely on a funerary inscription first published in 1588 and ultimately shown to be a humanist forgery. Julia Alpinula is a fully documented account of her Romantic celebrity, the exposure of the 'Alpinula' myth, and the identification of its scholarly perpetrator.Arthur Freeman is a rare book dealer and writer living in London. In 2014 Quaritch published his Bibliotheca Fictiva: a Collection of Books and Manuscripts Relating to Literary Forgery 400 BC AD 2000. Julia Alpinula is a footnote to that book.

The last resort of the English eccentric, the antiquarian book trade is rich in colourful and entertaining characters.

Fifty of these conversations, in which leading dealers speak frankly about their life and work, are recorded here.

'An invaluable mine of fact, anecdote, memoires, few lies and no statistics. Thank God for all the persons that Sheila Markham has immortalised, and all the rest that she has yet to reach.'

Soft cover. Condition: New. 297 x 210 mm, pp. [76], with 8 colour plates; pictorial card wrappers. Printed here for the first time is the text of an autograph manuscript of the epigrams which John Owen presented to Prince Henry, eldest son of James VI of Scotland (I of England), on the occasion of his becoming Prince of Wales in… 1610 (this year is the 400th anniversary of his death). The small quarto, preserved at Trinity College, Cambridge, is the only surviving manuscriptin Owen's own hand. It contains 105 epigrams, of which 25 appear in print here for the first time; others present a text frequently at variance with the printed versions which Owen published in 1612, the year of Henry's death. The subjects are a characteristic cross-section of his bitter-sweet jests and jibes. The manuscript is edited with an introduction and notes by Nicholas Poole-Wilson, longtime student and collector of Owen's printed editions. It contains an illustration of the binding and 7 double-page plates reproducing pages from the text.

In this guide various approaches to Hakluyt's books are suggested under a number of interrelated headings his patronage and connections; Italian and French influences; his use of illustration and his presentat…ion of texts; his intentions; and his impact and readership. It is hoped that it will aid a broad appreciation of Hakluyt's work and the nature of his achievement, notably that his part in the publication of over twenty-five travel books marks a contribution to travel literature far beyond the Principal navigations and discoveries of the English nation for which he is chiefly famous. Extensive notes are provided to indicate further primary and secondary references and, finally, there is a bibliography of the books by or otherwise associated with Hakluyt published between 1580 and 1625.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 8vo; pp. 96; six black and white illustrations; in printed paper wrappers.Published in celebration of Nicolas Barker's eightieth birthday, this bibliography serves both as a collection of his writings and as a tribute to one who has inspired so wide and deep affection in so many.Nicolas Barker's first… bibliographical articles and reviews appeared in 1959. John Hayward, then the Editor ofThe Book Collector, was quick to grasp his potential. His first reviews appeared in that journal, and his first article for the journal, 'The Aesthetic Investor's Guide to Current Literary Values. An Essay in Bibliometry', had, Hayward reported, "called forth more favourable comment than almost anything we've published." It was the beginning of an unbroken association with a journal that he has made so distinctively an extension of himself, particularly since he became Editor in 1965. The extraordinary number of his articles, reviews, leaders, obituaries, and 'News and Comment' pieces in the journal has often shaped current bibliographical thinking.But Nicolas's writings have increasingly ramified in their range and form. He has written extensively for more than fifty years for theTimes Literary Supplementand for the Roxburghe Club, the bibliography of whose publications formed his first book. He has been a prolific obituarist, chiefly, but by no means only, for theIndependent. The range of topics that has engaged him in other books and articles is astonishingly wide: medieval manuscripts, calligraphy, forgery, the book trade, typography, bibliophily, bookbinding are simply some of the more recurrent interests that his publications reflect. The cumulated record of his publications represents an achievement of extraordinary scope.ISBN 978-0-9563012-5-3.

Soft cover. Condition: New. 1st Edition. 8vo, pp. 79, [1]; with photographic illustrations; printed purple wrappers.The imprisonment of Annie Cobden-Sanderson, daughter of the famous Victorian statesman Richard Cobden, prompted a wave of letters of protest to the newspapers, giving the women's suffrage campaign the major boost s…he had hoped for. The ten women with whom Cobden-Sanderson was arrested (and of whom the Home Office deemed her to be the leader) were the first group of middle-class women sentenced to prison for demanding the right to vote. The remarkable survival of the diary she wrote in Holloway Prison in 1906, the earliest known prison diary of a suffragist/suffragette, allows us to read her fascinating story without embellishment. Dr Marianne Tidcombe provides a full transcription of the diary, with extensive notes on the characters and events mentioned. Her biographical introduction gives a full description of Cobden-Sanderson's life, from her childhood in an intensely political household to her later career as a campaigner for equal rights, the welfare of children, and peace among nations. Marianne Tidcombe became a friend of Annie Cobden-Sanderson's daughter Stella (1886 1979) and her great-niece Elizabeth Cobden Boyd while writing on the life and work of Stella's father, T. J. Cobden-Sanderson. Her books, The Bookbindings of T. J. Cobden-Sanderson (1984), The Doves Bindery (1991), Women Bookbinders 1880-1920 (1996), and The Doves Press (2001) were published by the British Library. Published by the Libanus Press in a limited edition of 500 numbered copies. Language: English.

Dust Jacket Condition: New. 8vo (215 x 140 mm), pp. xii, 209, with 12 full-page illustrations (one folding); title printed in red and black; blue cloth, pictorial dust-jacket. Pocahontas meaning 'Little Wanton' or playful one is famous for something she may or may not have done four hundred years ago:…rescue the English colonist John Smith from execution by her father, Powhatan, the Indian paramount chief of the Virginia area. Pocahontas, Little Wanton investigates the legendary rescue and separates the known facts of her life and death in England from the myths about her. The book then follows the posthumous history of her story, as it is told and retold over the centuries by historians, dramatists, poets, novelists and film-makers who formed her into an American national icon, repeatedly rescuing the colonial Englishman from the indigenous Indian. Pocahontas, Little Wanton is the first book to combine an account of her brief life with the history of her long, ambiguous afterlife, as an American Indian heroine. Neil Rennie is a Reader in English at University College London.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Included. 1st Edition. Folio, pp. 128, with 75 colour illustrations; blue cloth lettered in gilt, dust-jacket.Aristotle's influence towers over western philosophy and science. His astonishing range and depth philosophy and logic, the physical and natural sciences, ethics and politics make h…im indisputably the most important intellectual figure in the western tradition before the modern age. This volume illustrates the ways in which the Aristotelian corpus has been transmitted over time. In particular, it focuses on the crucial moment when, thanks to the invention of printing, Aristotle's works became widely available in Latin, Greek, and in vernacular languages in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The extraordinary books and manuscripts in this volume, selected from the collection of the Martin J. Gross Foundation, demonstrate just how intellectuals received and interpreted Aristotle. Through commentaries, treatises, lecture courses and schools and above all in the written marginalia of books, the volume reveals the extent of the era's engagement with Aristotle. It includes a beautifully illustrated catalogue section featuring the pages of works on Aristotelian texts from the thirteenth to the late seventeenth century, many of which show the annotations of contemporary readers and teachers.

Asking the reader 'to judge for himself Mr. Spencer's own public declarations' (p. 8), the political economist, popular orator, and politician Henry George (1839-1897) dismantles the arguments of the British liberal theorist Herbert Spencer (1820-1903) to promote his radical views on land redistribution: 'George wanted radical redistribution but without revolution. He pioneered the idea that taxation, properly crafted, can redistribute wealth without damage to the market. His influence on Fabianism was early and wide; also on American reformers like Tom L. Johnson, Upton Sinclair, John R. Commons and Norman Thomas. The modern "mixed economy" is in the Georgist spirit of reform within traditional forms' (Palgrave II, p. 515). Language: English.
