A propos de cet article

24pp. Woodcut on title page. Title within ornamental border. Six bifolia, unopened at head, as issued. A trifle creased and dusty. A Glaswegian chapbook collection of succinct anecdotes on a remarkably diverse range of subjects, from 'gipsy wit' to 'security against drowning'. Though often containing a modicum of useful wisdom, some of the selections are designed merely to entertain, for example under the heading 'Very Funny', one finds the following quip: 'Father do they light up railway carriages at night with gas? ' 'No, my dear, with train oil. ' Presumably one had to be there. This edition, one of several appearing at Glasgow and Alnwick in the mid-nineteenth century, appears unrecorded by OCLC or COPAC. Size: 12mo. N� de r�f. du vendeur AQ28599

Description de la librairie

Established 2007, Antiquates Ltd is an Antiquarian bookseller with a large, custom built shop in the heart of the Dorset countryside. We sell fine and rare books from our Wareham shop, in catalogues, and via our website (www.antiquates.co.uk). Specialising in early printed books both English and Continental, fine English Literature, and books by, for, and about Women and Children, we nevertheless stock a wide range of works on paper from 1500-present - including modern first editions. Our bias is towards the unusual, the interesting and the important - and always have a good stock of rare books by local authors such as T.E. Lawrence and Thomas Hardy; we are just the place if you're looking for an extra-special gift for a wedding, birthday, anniversary or graduation. (Open Wednesday - Saturday, 10am-4pm)
