Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Fair. First Edition. A history and personal memoir of the 104th Squadron during the First World War covering 1917-1919. This copy (I assume originally a paperback? ) has been bound into green shiny boards (I presume by the former owner? ). No titling to the boards, but the book is in a clear library dustjacket into which the original red wraps (with black titling /black biplane decoration) have been put, simulating a d/j. As it has been bound as a hardcover by ? ( ? Binder/former owner ? ) - the wraps are somewhat smaller than the boards - but this 'pseudo d/j' does enhance its appearance - in my opinion. A little foxing/browning to the page fore-edges and the top edge particularly o/w NO Inscriptions or Marks. (vi) + 146 pp. Illustrated with a suite of b/w printed photographic plates, some featuring the original aerial photography, and other b/w illus. With a list of decorations won by squadron members, etc. " The 104th Aero Squadron was one of the American Observation Squadrons (taking part with the Allies during the latter half of the First World War) in Northern France in the fall of 1918. Most of its pilots were brave but certainly not fearless. One of them said years later 'As I look back I see us young kids, scared as hell, but still with the courage of ignorance. ! ' ".

Parsons' famous spiritual manual was first published in 1582 as 'The first booke of the Christian exercise, appertayning to Resolution'; a Protestant version was swiftly produced, in 1584, by the Puritan Edmund Bunny. Parsons then produced a revised and expanded edition of his text in 1585, published for the first time under the title of 'A Christian Directorie'; it was this 1585 edition that was the basis for another Protestant edition: 'An anonymous imitator of Bunny gathered three of the entirely new chapters and three expanded chapters, adapted them and brought them out in 1590 as The seconde parte of the booke of Christian exercise, appertayning to Resolution' (Houliston ed., The Christian directory (1582), 1998, xlvi). It is this anonymous Protestant version which was in part the basis for the editions published in 1722, 1739, 1754 and 1768, though all were clearly produced in a Catholic milieu for a presumably largely Catholic readership. The revised text of Parsons' Directory found in this current volume was first published in 1739, printed by John Hoyle and sold by the Catholic bookseller Thomas Meighan. This 1768 Preston edition is extremely scarce: no copies attested on WorldCat, ECCO, or Blom.

Johnson.A very attractive copy of the most popular work of Philip Miller (1691-1771), the foremost British gardener of the eighteenth century, with five folding plates of botanical illustrations. 'Miller's Gardener's Kalendar, published in fifteen editions between 1732 and 1765, catered for the modest gardener who needed practical advice [Miller] produced a work not only portable, but also at a price to suit those who could not afford a larger book. At four shillings a copy it came within the purse of most and indeed was judged to be "a manual to the whole kingdom". Its aim was to bring into "one easy and concise view" what might be of use to those "hindered by other avocations from bestowing much time in the study of this delightful and innocent work" Under each month could be found directions for work to be done in the kitchen garden with notes on its produce, the pleasure or flower garden with plants then in flower, and the greenhouse and stove with their plants in bloom' (Le Rougetel, pp. 1013).

A rare account of robbery, murder, and patricide, printed in Louisiana. Copyrighted by E.E. Barclay in Ohio, this (possibly) fictional tale was published by the Rev. W. Stuart, and quite likely written by him as well. George Lathrop's journey on the road to self-ruin began in a gambling hall in New Orleans, where he "wins at first, but then loses all." The son of a Louisiana planter, Lathrop would go on to commit a slew of crimes, including pickpocketing, the robbery of a jewelry store in New Orleans, other crimes in Louisville and Richmond, and the murder of a constable in St. Louis. In Baton Rouge Lathrop and a partner accost the former warden of Sing Sing prison, nearly beating the man to death. The height of Lathrop's depravity was the murder of his own father as the elder man travelled to New Orleans to deposit the proceeds of his cotton crop. Lathrop was arrested while hiding in the St. Charles Hotel. His accomplice turned state's evidence and was sentenced to the state prison at Baton Rouge, while Lathrop was condemned to death by hanging. A brief speech from the gallows concludes the narrative. Lathrop's adventures also include a Romeo and Juliet story in which he falls in love with his father's enemy, and both fathers oppose the union. The illustrations show various crimes, including the murder of a constable and of Lathrop's father. One illustration shows Mary Howe's father, assisted by his slaves, rescuing his daughter from Lathrop's "kidnapping" attempt. Quite scarce in the trade.

bound without the half-title, minor browning, verso of last leaf slightly soiled, pp. ii, 116, 12mo, contemporary tree calf, corners worn, rebacked. 'Literary interest in the events of September 1513 started early. The earliest printed poem appears in 1664 [Wing F1365, 'Floddan Field]. The author, Joseph Benson, a declared philomath, was an adherent of the Stanley family and is very clearly writing from an English perspective. His nineteenth-centry editor [there was an edition in 1805, printed in Lancaster] asserts he had access to an earlier source held within that family but omits any details. Benson's poems seems odd now since it misses out two elements which rapidly became part of the Flodden story: the chivalrous nature of Scotland's king, and the duplicitous nature of Lady Elizabeth Heron of Ford' (Sadler and Serdiville, The Battle of Flodden). In the present edition there are notes by the unnamed editor which, among other things, signalises the role of Sir Edward Stanley. The Stanley family lived at Lathom in Lancashire, and hence we may suppose had some hand in the local editions. Of the 1773 edition ESTC records NLS, Columbia, and Folger, and of the 1774 Preston edition, Harvard only. The London edition of 1774, also Printed and Sold by W. Stuart, is commoner. Curiously, there is another 19th-century edition, published in 'Ancient Historical Ballads', Newcastle, 1807, woodcut by Bewick (Tattersfield TB 2.19). In this edition, 'The Battle of Floddon', the text is said to be 'published from a curious manuscript in the possession of James Askew, of Palins-Burn, Northumberland', edited, with (quite different) notes, by Robert Lambe, Vicar of Norham upon Tweed, and his dedication is dated Jan. 30, 1773. The text is identical in all editions, but the present is the only one with an author's name attached - we can't find Joseph Benson's name attached to anything else. Sir Walter Scott had a copy of the 1805 edition, which would have informed 'Marmion', (ESTC N32357). …
