Smart, showing how 'To Charge the Magazine'. Engraving of cross-section of the workings of the rifle on the second page. The text on the first page begins: 'This rifle possesses peculiar advantages in weight and calibre for small game and target practice. | The materials are the best, and the workmanship of the highest order. | The cuts and description of this rifle show that the breech-action is simpler and more perefect than any other in the market, making the rifle absolutely safe against accidental explosion; and the left-handed method of handling ensures teh easiest manipulation of the gun.' The second page begins: 'This rifle differs from the LIGHTNING RIFLES of larger calibres in several important features which make it particularly convenient for the use of long and short .22 calibre cartridges promiscuously in the magazine.' Text on second page ends: 'TERMS CASH | ALL COMMUNICATION MUST BE ADDRESSED TO | Colt's Patent Fire-Arms Manufacturing Company, | 14, Pall Mall, London, S.W. | January, 1888.'.…

    Macready's entry in the Oxford DNB states that he destroyed his diary and personal papers after the publication of his memoirs in 1924, and that of his father notes that he dealt with William Charles Macready's 'copious and uninhibited diaries' in similar fashion in 1914 - two years after the appearance of Toynbee's edition. The present collection of eighteen items is in good condition, lightly aged, and folded for postage. All signed 'C F N Macready' and addressed to 'My dear Toynbee'. The text of the letters totals 35pp (compising 1p, 8vo; 25pp, 12mo; 9pp, 16mo). No dates are given, but a card from the Victoria Hotel, Manchester is in its envelope, postmarked 6 July 1911 and addressed to 'W. Toynbee Esq / 30. South Eaton Place / London S.W.' In it Macready complains that he has been 'bundled off here to stop the strikers at two hours untill [sic] last night'. (In November of 1910, according to the Oxford DNB, he had been 'sent to command troops in support of police dealing with possible disorders arising from a miners' strike'. The three longest and most interesting letters, from 16, 22 and 28 November [1924], with the letterhead of the Grand Hotel des Lecques, Plage des Lecques, St Cyr-sur-Mer, all refer to the recent publication of his autobiography. In the first he writes that 'The agents say it is well turned out. Personally I think the price to high for a big sale but that of course is Hutchinson's [the publisher] affair.' He was 'rather amused at the review in Times of 14th. The writer I should say is rather more of a purely litterary [sic] stamp than of military habits.' As 'the galley proofs are destroyed' he asks Toynbee's advice on the charge of £14 from 'King Hall & Arbuthnot', 'for the alterations you & I made apart from printers' errors'. He complains that his hotel has been invaded by a 'party of Americans', and comments on his recent reading: 'He mauls Randolph Churchill badly, & legitimacy in royal & upper circles seems rather the exception than the rule!' In the second of the three he comments on reviews and complains of printers' errors. 'Your praise of the work is very gratifying as from "one who knows", & you have made a friend for life of the lady who slaved at the typing, who, I always tell her, is prejudiced.' There is reference to a wed. ding at St Maur and 'Letty', and there are further complaints about Americans at the hotel. He concludes, with reference to a London scandal known as the 'Robinson Cheque Case': 'That Robinson case is pretty lurid - I presume the potentate is the Shah of Persia - It should make a good plot for the next Empire Review. Lady Diana Duff Cooper (Manners) in the role of Mrs. Robinson and Angela Forbes as Mrs. Bevan!' He returns to the scandal in the third letter: 'I am wondering if the "Rajah" in the Robinson case could be Rhanjitsinghi - the cricketer. It looked at first rather like the Shah. No doubt he followed the practices of "the cities of the plain". Elsewhere in the letter he expresses satisfaction with Hutchinson's advertising, and the reviews he is receiving: 'I am having all the Press notices suck in my m.ss. books'. Regarding the printing costs 'Arbuthnot wrote me that he had received your note & was fighting H., whom he had got the better of on a former occasion for an extortionate charge.' Regarding 'Dougherty's effusion yesterday' he writes: 'No I am quite sure I had not confused him with anyone else - I can see him before me now "screaming" & waving his arms. My difficulty is that I am away from all my notes, especially the Royal Com[missio]n. proceedings on the Howth incident, which I had written for.' In an earlier letter, evidently written after the 1912 publication of his father's diaries, he refers to a 'Miss Hogarth', who 'mentions one slip, probably the result of the handwriting in the diaries'. In another letter, with a reference to the recent death of the actor Laurence Irving which dates it to 1914, Macready announces his return to London (from Ire.…

    Both items excessively scarce, with the only copies traced on OCLC WorldCat and COPAC at the British Library. The leaves of both have been separated, but comparison with other copies confirms that they are both complete, and otherwise in good condition, with slight wear, and the two leaves of the second item laid down on a piece of paper. ONE: By 'J. M. G.' Title-page: 'The Old Oaken Chair: | Addressed to | Different Members of his Family. | By J. M. G.' 8pp., 12mo. A neat production, originally on two bifoliums. Gutch's name completed in pencil on title-page, with note: 'Only 12 printed'. Prefatory note: 'WRITTEN in my 76th year, upon receiving from my Brother, GEORGE GUTCH, an OAKEN CHAIR, as a companion to a curiously carved LIBRARY TABLE he had previously sent me.' The poem, in blank verse, covers pp.5-8, and begins: 'OLD OAKEN CHAIR! I love thy antique form, | Thou bring'st to my remembrance the review | Of by-gone days and scenes; - the love I bear | To him, who sent another gift to suit | This room, the shelves of which contain | Volumes of early lore, of poetry divine; | Of that which helps to meditation, | And recalls the mind from earth to heav'n.' The poem refers to the loss of a parent (his wife?), 'kind Mary Anne'. The latter part of the poem concerns the travels in the Aegean of his son J. W. G. Gutch, with six footnotes, the first two reading: 'My son, a Queen's Foreign Messenger, was at this period sent with despatches to Sir William Parker and Mr. Wyse, respecting the settlement of the affairs of Greece.' and 'After delivering the despatches, he was permitted to land at Athens, and had sufficient time and opportunity to visit the celebrated classical scenes which surround the city.' TWO (by 'H. B. T.)': Title-page: 'The Old Oaken Chair. | Dedcated | (without permission) | to | Mrs. Gutch.' 2pp., 12mo. Originally a bifolium, with title-page on recto of the first leaf and poem on the recto of the second. Uniform in design with Item One. Poem dated at end: 'H. B. T. | Worcester, | 7th October, 1850.' Twelve-line poem in three four-line stanzas: 'FULL many chairs on dais placed, | Have held both knaves and fools; | Some who their Country's cause betrayed, | Some who were party's tools. | But here's an honest chair of oak, | Which holds an honest man; | Whose life will bear the scrutiny | Of Honour's closest scan. | Dear Madam, let me breathe a wish, | (As you will breathe a prayer,) | That years may pass ere you shall sigh, | "Ah! there's the VACANT CHAIR!"'.…

    Both poems excessively scarce, with the only copies traced on OCLC WorldCat and COPAC at the British Library. The three items wrapped in letterhead of 'Merrixton House, | near Stepaside, | Pembrokeshire', with anonymous manuscript note, dated 3 July 1915, stating that 'only about a dozen copies were printed'. (Another copy consulted bears the pencil note 'Only 12 printed'.) ONE: By 'J. M. G.' Title-page: 'The Old Oaken Chair: | Addressed to | Different Members of his Family. | By J. M. G.' 8pp., 12mo. A neat production on two bifoliums, unbound and unstitched. In good condition, lightly aged. Prefatory note: 'WRITTEN in my 76th year, upon receiving from my Brother, GEORGE GUTCH, an OAKEN CHAIR, as a companion to a curiously carved LIBRARY TABLE he had previously sent me.' The poem, in blank verse, covers pp.5-8, and begins: 'OLD OAKEN CHAIR!

TWO: Another copy of Item One. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with the leaves detached and folded and mounted on stubs. Autograph note by Gutch on the title page: 'To his dear Daughter | Frances Gutch'. The Oxford DNB states that Gutch's only child was his son J. W. G. Gutch. THREE: By 'H. B. T.' Title-page: 'The Old Oaken Chair. | Dedicated | (without permission) | to | Mrs. Gutch.' 2pp., 12mo. Bifolium, with title-page on recto of the first leaf and poem on the recto of the second. In fair condition, lightly aged and worn, with discoloration and slight damage along gutter. Uniform in design with Item One. Poem dated at end: 'H. B. T. | Worcester, | 7th October, 1850.'

    Macready's entry in the Oxford DNB states that he destroyed his diary and personal papers after the publication of his memoirs in 1924. If the present gossipy specimen is anything to go by, the loss of this material is most regrettable. (The ODNB entry for his father notes that he dealt with William Charles Macready's 'copious and uninhibited diaries' in similar fashion in 1914 - two years after the appearance of Toynbee's edition.) See also the entry for Millicent, Duchess of Sutherland (1867-1955). 2pp, 4to. In good condition, lightly aged and folded for postage. Signed 'C F N Macready' and addressed to 'My dear Toynbee'. He begins by explaining that he has been confined to his room since 'a sharp attack of Bronchial Influenza': 'The bore of it is that it touches up the lungs & that entails care for some weeks.' Turning to the English papers he writes: 'I see by this mornings Daily Mail that Almeric Fitzroy has apparently disturbed the Empire with his book!' (Fitzroy's memoirs were published in 1925, and quickly went through a further five editions.) There follows a long assessment of Millicent, Duchess of Sutherland and her three marriages (she had divorced the third, Col. George Ernest Hawes, as a result of his homosexuality earlier in the year), prompted by her book 'That Fool of a Woman, and four other Sombre Tales' (1925), which, according to the Oxford DNB, revealed 'much about her marital misadventures'. 'I saw a notice of Millicent Sutherland's book but that is all. I knew the lady well. She has traces of great beauty and during the War ran a hospital first at La Panne for the [?] Belges & later as an annexe to one of our hospitals at Calais. She tried to work old Johnnie French to let her & her nurses roam about the battle front, and I was called in to anchor her which I did effectually at Calais. Her husband the Duke was much older than her & in love with his library, & it is well known that she "kept" the FitzGerald man & gave him a good allowance. No one could understand why she married him on the Duke's death as he drank like a fish & was a notorious waster. Having divorced him it was equally incomprehensible why she married Hawes. Of course her stock - the Rosslyn - is queer, & may account for much! I don't know Hawes but did hear that he had a tendency towards the Dead Sea fruits.' He ends by asking Toynbee's opinion of Sinclair Lewis, and by explaining that 'this grippe of mine will delay my trip to London for a bit. If we get a St. Martin's summer I may venture'.…

    12mo, 3 pp. Thirty-six lines. Text clear and complete. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed by Bonaparte, with stamp, red wax seal and postmarks, on reverse of second leaf, to 'Monsieur le Lieutenant-Colonel Lherbette Adt. au comm. de l'artillerie dans la 1re. division militaire | Vincennes'. Were he not leaving for the country, he would have presented in person 'Mr. Colt, citoyen des Etats-Unis, inventeur d'un ingénieux système d'armes à feu à plusieurs coups'. He and his 'cousin Murat [Joachim-Napoléon Murat (1767-1815)]' will be obliged if Colt can be admitted 'aux expériences du [sic] tir des carabines à tige des chapeurs à pied, quand elles auront lieu'. His colleague, 'le capitaine Tamissier, instructeur du tir à Vincennes', can brief him if necessary. It is his 'désir de faire admirer à un honorable et cordial étranger nos perfectionnemens en matière d'armes portatives'. According to one authority (Howze, Cooper and Kornhauser, 2006), Colt was selling his pistols to the nations of Europe around this time, gaining large orders by playing them off against one another at a time of high demand due to strained international relations.…

    in-4to, Text) 2 ff. + VII + 205 p. / Atlas) 2 ff. + 49 planches dont 4 doubles planches (1 en couleurs), envoi manuscrit de Margerie ?à mon ami Lugeon? sur le faux-titre, cachet de bibl. de "Maurice Lugeon" (Prof à l'Univ. de Lausanne) sur les titres, reliures en demi-cuir à nerfs, titre doré aux dos, exemplaire frais et en bel état. Première édition d'un important ouvrage qui marque la naissance de la géomorphologie. Rare complet avec atlas. Cet ouvrage du général de La Noë et Emmanuel de Margerie, à bien des égards original, profond, et technique, s'attache ?au classement des formes et à la constitution de types de relief; on y retrouve clairement les directions épistémologiques du paradigme dominant dans les sciences de la matière à l'époque: classement, généralisation, conceptualisation, théorisation. Certes, en raison de la jeunesse des recherches de ce type, les théories sont à peine ébauchées ; on y trouve cependant déjà l'idée de niveau de base, de profil d'équilibre, d'évolution des versants. Les planches de figures montrent des vues et coupes géologiques, des vallées, des bassins, des roches, des tracés de cours d'eau, etc., situés surtout en France et en Suisse, mais aussi ailleurs dans le monde? (Le temps des Géographies Universelles: Naissance de la Géomorphologie).Exemplaire avec envoi d'un des auteurs à son ami Maurice Lugeon (1870-1953). Lugeon né en France, prof. de géologie physique et de paléontologie à l'univ. de Lausanne, recteur, auteur de deux cents mémoires scientifiques, directeur du Musée géologique de Lausanne, commandeur de la Légion d'honneur. C'est Maurice Lugeon qui a fourni la première interprétation complète des Alpes en général. First edition of an important work marking the birth of geomorphology, the text volume and the atlas volume of 49 (4 folding) plates. ? in 1888 Margerie published a work on geomorphology «Les formes du terrain», written with General de La Noë, director of the Servie Géographique de l'Armée. This book sets forth, for the first time, the causual relationship between the morphology of the earth's surface, and its geological structure and historical development? (DSB).This copy has a handwritten dedication by de Margerie to his friend Maurice Lugeon, prof. of physical geology at the univ. of Lausanne, ?Swiss geologist who provided the first comprehensive interpretation of the Alps as a whole. ?? (Encycl. Britt.).Please notify before visiting to see a book. Prices are excl. VAT/TVA (only Switzerland) & postage.
