VOLUME II ONLY of a thirteen volume set. Hardcover: H 21.25cm x L 13.5cm. Full leather binding; front board detached but rear board still fairly firm despite some slender splitting at rear joint; staining and rubbing to boards with surface losses and edges worn particularly at corners; surface abrasions to spine with gilt stamping dulled; spine's maroon title label has some edge-loss but retains reasonably bright gilt lettering (binding does seem more early 19th century American than British). Personal bookplate "William T. Barry, | [No. 329] | Lexington, K." affixed to front pastedown ("329" handwritten in antiquarian ink likely as a personal library volume#); some foxing/toning throughout but none too obtrusive; several creased corners; old ink and pencil marks on rear pastedown. Text block is firm. Laid-in at title page is small toned card with typewritten note indicating book was "Donated by Judge J.I. Sturdivant." - card is undated but from paper and general appearance likely circa 1930-1950. Book now presented in a trimmed clear Dura-Lar (polyester film) sheet forming a dj which aids in securing the detached front board and modestly enhances shelf presence. Acquired from a Columbus, Mississippi estate which, in turn, seems to have received the book from Lowndes County, Mississippi attorney and jurist Jennings Inge Sturdivant (1865-1939) whose father had Kentucky roots but whose connection to the Barry bookplate eluded cursory research. The original owner was likely Lexington, Kentucky resident William Taylor Barry (1784-1835) who held several state and federal government offices including U.S. Representative from Kentucky 5th District (1810 to 1811), U.S. Senator from Kentucky (1814 to 1816), Lieutenant Governor of Kentucky (1820 to 1824), and U.S. Postmaster General from 1829 to 1835.…

Full-Leather. Etat : Good. Reprint. Later edition from 1771 in five volumes but missing volume V: I (311pp including essay), II (300pp), III (340pp) and IV (335pp). Contemporary full leather binding. The title and volume number panels have been lost on all the volumes. The volume numbers are stamped on the spines. The spines have chipping at the tops and bottoms with some vertical cracking to the surfaces. There is also little cracking to the edges - the binding is firm with the exception of volume I where there is a gap along the top half. The corners are bumped with some rubbing and fraying and there is some light surface wear to the front and rear panels. Name of a previous owner in ink to the title pages - Lady Wale of Shelford near Cambridge - and there is the name of an earlier owner above this. Browning and some spotting to the endpapers. Volume I has a little more wear to the spine than the other volumes and there is a little edge creasing and tearing to the fold-out illustration of Troy. Volume II has two pages which protrude slightly with some edge wear. Volume III has quite heavy staining over half the surface of the front panel and a large stain which affects the top half of the pages through to page 30 and then diminishes gradually through to page 150 with these pages only a little affected. There is also a little creasing to the top corners of pages 77 to 86. Volume IV has an eight page section of the text which protrudes a little with some edge creasing. There is light browning to the pages with some spots and marks in places and in particular to the pages at the front of the books but the pages are otherwise generally unmarked. Heavy item due to it being four volumes so there will be an additional postage charge for overseas orders.…

In 1863 "The Riverine Petition" was sent from the Riverina District of southern New South Wales to Queen Victoria, pleading for independence from the colony. Settlers cited geographical isolation, neglect of local infrastructure, and a desire to align with Melbourne's pastoral interests, essentially seeking to separate and form a new colony. This is often referred to as the Riverine District Association movement. Ferguson, 14944 Very scarce.…

William Guthrie [1708-1770] made his reputation in London as a political writer, and he wrote several works on many topics, including those covering the history of England (History of England from the Invasion of Julius Caesar to 1688, 1744; Complete List of the English Peerage, ) and Scotland (A General History of Scotland, 1767-8). Guthrie is more than once referred to by Johnson in terms of some respect. [Chambers's Eminent Scotsmen; Boswell's Life of Johnson] Emanuel Bowen [1694?-1767] was a Welsh map engraver who became Royal Mapmaker to both King George II of Great Britain and Louis XV of France. His maps were noted for their high level of detail and decoration. Ten of his maps adorn and enhance this set. Bowen, Emanuel (maps) (illustrateur).…

8vo, pp. viii, 16, [976]; a-c4 B-3N4 A-3S4; lexicon in double column; full contemporary calf, unadorned spine; some wear and small chips out at the spine extremities; a good, sound copy with the approbation leaf, in which George III (to whom the book is dedicated) grants Fenning a license to print his dictionary for a period of 14 years. This copy from the library of the Johnsonian scholar, Gwin Kolb, with his book label laid in. Little is known of Fenning. He was a compiler of several school texts, including an arithmetic, a geography, and a speller, the last of which had notable popularity in America before Webster. Webster himself was no doubt well acquainted with Fenning's speller, which in London made a 71st edition in 1823. This dictionary contains terms used in mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, architecture, printing, natural history and navigation, with "each word followed by an initial letter to denote the part of speech" --the first time I believe in a dictionary. A competent, trustworthy dictionary on "so extensive a plan as to unite the different excellencies of all other English dictionaries." Alston V, 288; Kennedy 6259.…
