HERBERT | 1927 & 1933 Misleading Cases in the Common Law & Still More Misleading Cases First Editions, Presumed First Impressions | Author-Inscribed | Edward Wadsworth Family Provenance London: Methuen & Co., 1927 and 1933. First editions, first impressions; both copyright pages state "First Published" with no subsequent impressions recorded. Two octavo volumes in the publisher's original red and blue cloth, with gilt-lettered spines. Without dust jackets. An unusual pair of association copies from the personal library of Edward Wadsworth (1889–1949), the distinguished British painter and leading figure of the Vorticist movement, and his wife, Fanny. Misleading Cases in the Common Law*1927) bears a contemporary handwritten presentation inscription by A. P. Herbert, affectionately signed "Alan" and dated September 1927, the year of publication. Still More Misleading Cases (1933) contains the personal bookplate of Barbara Wadsworth, daughter of Edward and Fanny Wadsworth. Originally published in *Punch*, Herbert's celebrated *Misleading Cases* employ fictional legal judgments to satirise the conventions, absurdities and contradictions of English law. Provenance: From the personal library of Edward and Fanny Wadsworth, confirmed in writing by the auction house through which the volumes were acquired. Confirmed from the personal library of Edward Wadsworth (1889–1949), the distinguished British painter, printmaker and leading figure of the Vorticist movement, and his wife, Fanny Wadsworth. Their daughter, Barbara Wadsworth, is also represented through her personal bookplate in the accompanying 1933 volume. Condition: Fair to Good. Original publisher's cloth bindings with rubbing, fading, surface marking and water staining, particularly to the red volume. Minor bumping to the corners and spine extremities, with age-toning to the page edges and occasional internal spotting. The author's inscription and Barbara Wadsworth bookplate remain well preserved.

Both volumes offered together. …

Description de la boutique

Step into the world of Cranston & Perry, where every shelf holds a little history and every book has a story beyond the one printed on its pages. We seek out books with character, from time-worn editions with foxed pages, beautiful bindings and forgotten inscriptions, to collectable children’s books, literary classics, unusual finds and modern voices worth rediscovering. Some are rare. Some are wonderfully ordinary. Some have travelled through generations before reaching us. What matters is that each deserves to find the right reader and a new place on the shelf. Part antiquarian bookseller, part treasure hunter and entirely devoted to books, Cranston & Perry celebrates literature in all its forms: beautiful, rebellious, curious, scholarly, nostalgic and occasionally rather strange. Every book has a past. Every reader begins another chapter. We simply bring the two together.…
