Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Presumed First Edition Thus. 1821. No edition stated but presumed first thus (we understand that other editions by various publishers appeared in the same year). viii, 173pp., frontispiece showing David Haggart while under sentence of death, and a facsimile of a note handwritten by Haggart. David Haggart (1801-1821), born in Edinburgh, was a fairground pickpocket and thief, he frequented race-courses and was imprisoned for theft six times, but usually escaped from jail. On the last occasion he killed a warder at Dumfries in 1820 and fled to Ireland, where he was captured, sent back to Edinburgh for trial and hanged. Twelve days before the trial he was visited in prison by George Combe, the phrenologist, and between the trial and his execution he partly wrote, partly dictated, an autobiography, which was published with Combe's phrenological notes as an appendix, and Haggart's own comments. The book is bound in the publisher's original grey paper covered boards with a paper title label on the spine. The case of the book is in very good condition with expected signs of its age. The boards have shelf wear with some soiling and the top corners are bumped with some damage and loss to the paper around the corner tips. The bottom corners are lightly bumped. The spine ends are bumped with a little damage and the paper covering the spine edges is worn with a thin split on the top and bottom 1 1/2" of the front spine edge. There is a thin partly repaired split down most of the rear spine edge. The contents are tight and clean apart from a few small marks and stains and foxing to most of the pages and the frontispiece. The foxing is generally light to moderate although some pages are more heavily affected. There is a small bookseller's label on the top corner of the front fixed endpaper but no inscription.…

Early Half Sheep. Zustand: Good. Third Edition. With half title, 3 pp. of ads, frontispiece and ms. facsimile. A six page glossary concludes the work.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. First Edition. Octavo, 173pp., illustrated. A good copy only in contemporary plain boards with an inartful, if satisfactory reback in brown calf with endpapers strengthened with cloth tape. Attractive spooky bookplate of Waldo Dean Rich to the front paste-down. General age-toning internally, but no notable foxing, retaining half-title, with some discoloration to the endpapers. Rear free endpaper seemingly lost. This narrative is especially valued for its contribution to lexicography, written with many Scottish slang words. Per his entry in the DNB, "Twelve days before the trial he was visited in prison by George Combe [q. v.], the phrenologist, and between the trial and his execution he partly wrote, partly dictated, an autobiography, which was published by his agent, with Combe's phrenological notes as an appendix, and Haggart's own comments. It is a curious picture of criminal life, the best, and seemingly the most faithful, of its kind, and possesses also some linguistic value, as being mainly written in the Scottish thieves' cant, which contains a good many genuine Romany words." Laid-in to this copy is an extraordinary autograph letter, fully in Haggart's hand, SIGNED by him, and sent during one of his stints in prison, before his final death sentence. Addressed to one "Mr. Durie" of Thompson Place in Leith Links, it reads, in full [with spelling and grammar errors retained]. "Edinburgh Gaol. 27th of July 1820. Dear Sir, I hope you well excuse me for ritting you at this time and upon this ocation but nothing But necesity wold have made me writ you on this ocation owing to the lenth of time I have Ben in gaol my Cloths ave intirly worn out and as I cannot get my property from Dumfries till my trial comes on again which will not be on the 25th of november [illegible] I hope your goodness will extend to me so fare as there is no other Gentelman in this plase that I Can aske Such a favor of as I dou not wish to trouble my Friends as I have not been any trouble to them This few years as I mentioned before I hope your goodness will extend in bestoing to me a few of your old Cloths and I am hapy to inform you that I have avrey expectation of Getting Clear and I will remember you then. And I will ever pray no more at prisent. But Remains Your Humble Servant David Haggart." The letter bears two post-mark stamps, which, while hard to read, are clearly dated in July of 1820. We could not trace any letters or signatures of Haggart at auction, and find none in commerce. A rarity of crime history.…
