Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. 5th or later Edition. Imperial 8vo; pp. [portrait frontis.], x, 525, [1, ads]. SCARCE IMPERIAL PAPER COPY OF BEWICK'S QUADRUPEDS, WITH GOOD PROVENANCE. A wonderful copy of this work, featuring excellent impressions of more than 330 wood engravings by Bewick. Begun on 15 November 1785 (the day of his father's death), A General History of Quadrupeds is the book that made Bewick's reputation. This 1807 (5th) edition is the first edition published after Bewick's dispute with Sarah Hodgson and is one of the best of all editions of the Quadrupeds (it was this edition used for the 1970 reprint). It was issued on 23 May, printed on Demy, Royal and Imperial paper stock; this is the finest of the three (Imperial), with heavy wove paper and the 1804 watermark throughout. The price at the time of issue was £1 11s 6d. Although Roscoe has no data for the number of copies of the 1807 edition, the number of Imperial copies was probably around 150 (based on the known number of Imperial copies of the 4th edition). The 1807 edition features many textual revisions and minor amendments by Bewick to his illustrations, and saw the first publication of his engraving of the Musk Bull (p.49). In addition to the figures of the animals themselves, there are more than 100 vignettes, amongst the most delightful images in the history of engraving (see photographs). A finely bound copy, with two book plates, one of noted book collector Percy William Pegge, and another of the landowner, racehorse breeder Sir Humphrey Francis de Trafford (1862-1929). As in a handful of other copies, Ranson's 1816 engraved portrait of Bewick is included as a frontispiece. Very good condition: neatly rebacked with recent endpapers; leather binding with gilt decoration, and all edges gilt; spine a little worn; internally very good, noting only some minor foxing to the first few leaves.

Softcover. Etat : Good. Souvenir broadside napkin. Approximately 14" x 14". Printed in black with a central pastoral image with a border of flower baskets in blue and green. Contemporarily mounted on salmon-colored cardstock. Small tears and faint bleed through from glue used in mounting, considerable foxing, good or a little better. A paean to the apparent tradition of perambulating through the chestnuts. Souvenir napkins survive to some degree, but seldom in nice condition, because of the thin material and because they were usually stored folded. We acquired a few napkins where the owner had the forethought to mount them, probably almost immediately. This one is more elaborately printed than most. Unsurprisingly, *OCLC* locates no copies, and indeed only seven individual items by this printer, each represented in a single example but for one, with two copies. …

Rare first and only edition of an introduction to Arabic intended for students of Hebrew. As the author writes in his dedication to the Rev. John Frederick Usko, "The object of the following pages is to put the Hebrew student in possession of just so much Arabick as may enable him to profit by the illustrations of Hebrew words in the Lexicons of Simonis and others." The text looks at the construction of the alphabet itself, compares Hebrew and Arabic letters, and similarly verbs and their tenses. It gives a synopsis of the letters of the Arabic alphabet, each with its initial, medial, final and stand-alone forms and gives some information on diacritical marks. Thomas Burgess (1756-1837), Prebendary of Durham, was Bishop of St. David's (Wales) from 1803 to 1825 and then of Salisbury.With some contemporary handwritten annotations in ink and an owner's inscription on the title-page "A Bertiz | August 5, 1829".
