Blackwood, Adam Opera Omnia Paris: Sébastien Cramoisy et Gabriel Cramoisy, 1644. 4to, [40] 735 [19] pp., contemporary limp vellum French manuscript waste binding, engraved vignette to title-page, engraved portrait, recent manuscript title added to front cover in purple ink, tears to front pastedown and free endpaper, faint damp-staining title-page, variable light damp-staining to margins thereafter First edition of the collected words of the Scottish civil lawyer and Roman Catholic polemicist, who served as rector of the University of Paris, and on the grounds of his loyalty to Mary, Queen of Scots attacked George Buchanan's arguments for the right of subjects to depose unsatisfactory monarchs. 'His contribution to the development of the theory of absolute monarchy can be seen as part of a Scottish Catholic rejection of Buchanan's interpretation of Scottish history, and in his foreshadowing of the “divine right of kings” an influence on events to come. His contemporary importance in this respect is shown by Gabriel Naudé's publication of his complete works in French and Latin in Paris in 1644, together with a eulogy and an engraving by Picart' (ODNB).

Contents comprise: 1. Vogtherr, Heinrich. Ein Frembds und wunderbars kunstbüchlin allen Molern, Bildshnitzern, Goldschmiden, Steinmetzen, Schreinern, Platnern, Waffen un Messerschmiden hochnutzlich zu[m] gebrauchen, Der gleich vor nie keins gesehen, oder inn den Truck kommen ist. Strassburg: Heinrich Vogtherr, 1538. A-G4, 27 ff., lacking D1, illustrated with twin woodcut medallion portraits of Heinrich Vogtherr the Elder and Younger on title page, 108 woodcut bust studies of men and women wearing various kinds of headgear, and some 600 further woodcut studies of hands, feet, helmets, body armour, weaponry, shields, moulded column capitals and bases, and candelabra. Moderate soiling, closely trimmed along fore edge frequently cropping text and images, small chip to head of A2-3, A3 with closed tear, A4 with shallow chips to lower margin, C1 and C3 possibly transposed, G4 (final leaf) torn with loss. [VD 16 V 2179; not in Adams].Second edition (first published in 1537) of what is commonly described as the first printed model-book for artists, a highly influential work which was reprinted several times into the 17th century, the rarity of surviving copies attesting to their heavy usage, with four copies traced in auction records in the last 100 years, including one of the 1538 edition, the remaining copies from later editions. In his preface, Vogtherr, himself a committed evangelical, presents the work as an attempt to preserve traditional artistic knowledge and craft practices among his German compatriots against the threat posed presumably by the iconoclastic tendencies of the Reformation. ‘Vogtherr probably trained with Hans Burgkmair in Augsburg. After working from c.1522 in Wimpfen, he moved to Strasbourg towards the end of 1525, where he worked as a painter and where he became a citizen in 1526. From 1536 he ran a printing business in Strasbourg, publishing medical works which he probably wrote himself, and a ’Kunstbüchlein' in 1537, a pattern book with designs for painters and decorative artists, to which his son Heinrich Vogtherr, who became a master in 1541, also contributed' (British Museum, online).[Bound after:]2. Beham, Sebald. Dises buchlein zeyget an und lernet ein maß oder proporcion der Ross nutzlich iungen gesellen malern und goltschmide[n]. Nuremberg: [Friedrich Peypus], 1528.

Closely trimmed along fore-edge frequently cropping text and images, damp-staining and general soiling, E3 torn with loss and misbound between D4 and E1.[Bartrum, German Renaissance Prints 1490-1550, 94; VD16 B 14873; not in Adams].First edition, a very rare piracy of a series of sketches on proportion by Albrecht Dürer, preceding their authorised publication in Vier Bücher von menschlicher Proportion later the same year. An accusation of plagiarism was brought by Dürer's widow Agnes and Nuremberg's city council ‘ordered Beham … not to publish any further copies of the treatise and not to sell those copies already printed’ (Smith, Nuremberg: A Renaissance City 1500-1683, 1983, 95). Beham appears to have fled the city as a result, moving first to Ingolstadt before settling in Frankfurt.

Gall, Richard and others An archive of manuscript poetry, many by Richard Gall Epistle to Mr. Robert Burns, 9 x 15cm, comprising 7 manuscript pp., initialed ‘R.G. but with notes and corrections in another hand; The Puppy: a poem, in an epistle to a Minor Son o’ Thespis, 12 x 19.5cm, 6 manuscript pp., initialed ‘R.G.’, dated September 1796, with a few small corrections in another hand, with a printed copy accompanying the manuscript (corrections do not appear in print); The Mists o' Love dwell on my Soul, 14 x 19.5cm, part only, initialed R.G., extensively corrected; and 25 further poems with the ‘R.G.’ initial, with a large quantity of other writings by or after other late 18th century Scottish poets, or comprising of communications with publishers (quantity) A curious archive of manuscript poetry and writings, much seeming to be by Richard Gall. “The Mists o' Love dwell on my Soul” can be found printed on p.106 of Poems and Songs by the Late Richard Gall, 1819, with several amendments from the part item found here. The work was published posthumously by Oliver Boyd in 1799, and this collection of manuscripts includes letters to this publisher, along with a document entitled “Proposals for publishing by S. in one vol. duodec. with a hand of the Author The Poetical Works of Richard Gall”. The initials R.G. on many of these manuscript poems, written in the same hand, suggests that much of this is an archive of poetry written by Gall himself. Corrections in another hand - and another ink - could be those of an editor, possibly working for Oliver Boyd. The collection features other poems and writings in other hands, such as “Sonnet Composed at Dunkeld” by the artist and poet, Robert Carlile. It is unclear whether these are in the authors' original hands, or copied. It could be speculated that Gall wrote these poems, and amassed others, whilst working as an agent for the Edinburgh Evening Courant. One poem (in Gall's hand) is addressed to himself: “Mr Gall, Courant Office”. The collection may then have become the possession of the publisher, Oliver Boyd, before being sold on further.A fascinating archive warranting further study and research.

Rowling, J.K. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - [one of 500 first edition, first impression hardcovers] London: Bloomsbury, 1997. First edition, first impression hardback with the number line 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 on the copyright page, ‘Philosopher’s' miss-spelled ‘Philospher's’ on the lower cover and ‘1 wand’ listed twice on page 53, original pictorial laminated boards [Errington A1(a)].An excellent copy of the work. A very bright and very well-maintained book with a tight text block which sits neatly and smartly on the shelf. No foxing, ink ownership inscriptions or turned-down corners. Any small condition issues are limited to some minor bumping to corners of covers and spine ends, with some slight bubbling and peeling to the laminate in a few discreet places; no fading to spine; some evidence of previous ownership on the front-free endpaper and the title-page removed via professional and sensitive restoration, achieved before the current owner acquired the book from Adrian Harrington’s Kensington Church Street shop over two decades ago. A neatly erased pencil inscription to front-free endpaper; a small red ink dot to upper edge; the usual light toning to margins which is found in almost every copy of the book; a very minor crease to the corner of pp.27-28 visible only in bright light; an additional later dust-jacket is provided for protection, which has contributed to the preservation of the volume. A vivid and lightly handled example with no marking to the text.  Private American collection Few books have inspired the imaginations of a generation of children and adults like J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. The boy wizard first appeared on bookshelves in 1997 and, nearly 30 years later, the fantasy of boarding the Hogwarts Express bound for magical adventures has not diminished. Alongside seven books and a host of offshoots, such as The Tales of Beedle the Bard, the franchise has expanded to encompass eight Harry Potter films, three Fantastic Beasts films, a sell-out stage play, three theme parks and a studio tour. As of 2016, the franchise as a whole was estimated to be worth $25 billion.Here we present a first edition, first impression copy of the first book in the series: Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. This is indicated by a number line reading 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 on the publisher’s imprint page, the publisher being listed as Bloomsbury, the error of ‘1 wand’ being listed twice in Harry’s school equipment list and ‘Philosopher’ being misspelt ‘Philospher’ on the lower cover. It is an exceptionally rare book to find in any condition, and one in the present quite collectable condition could well be called the jewel in any Harry Potter collector’s crown.During the summer of 1990, J.K. Rowling caught a train from Manchester to London and the methodical rattling of the carriage alongside some time to think worked their magic: Rowling formed the idea of Harry Potter there and then! She wrote the book in her spare time, famously: “…in snatched hours, in clattering cafes or in the dead of night.” Much of this writing took place in Edinburgh, which boasts sites reminiscent of the later books in the series, such as the gravestone of Thomas Riddell Esq. in Greyfriars Kirkyard, thought by many to be the inspiration behind the true name of the series’ antagonist, Lord Voldemort (or Tom Riddle). It is therefore fitting that this early and important piece of Harry Potter history will be sold in Edinburgh.There are many legends surrounding Harry Potter’s road to publication. For example, urban myth states that the manuscript had been rejected many times before Bloomsbury offered an advance to Rowling of £1500. However, by all accounts, when Bloomsbury did finally secure the manuscript, there was great excitement about the book’s potential. However, the publisher still proceeded with caution and issued only 500 copies of the first edition, first impression in hardback. Around 300 copies are said to have gone to libraries, were much read and are often found to be fairly tired if they have survived at all. A further 200 copies were retailed. Taking these numbers into account, it is evident that finding one of these books in good condition is rather unusual!The success of Harry Potter has been outstanding. The bibliographer, Philip W. Errington, writes: “Never before did a series start with 500 copies in hardback and conclude with a matching edition of over eight million copies.” The book for sale here represents the beginning of this incredible success story, offering somebody the opportunity to own one of the few original copies of the book that started it all.

Sun Yat-sen Kidnapped in London Being the Story of my Capture By, Detention at, and Release from the Chinese Legation, London. Bristol: J. Arrowsmith, c.1906. First edition, later issue, 8vo, 134 pp., contemporary patterned green cloth, rebacked in red cloth with manuscript title in black ink, half-title, wood-engraved portrait frontispiece, publisher's advertisement leaf to rear (listing works by Anthony Hope, and Diary of a Nobody), textblock toned, half-title and title-page slightly marked, half-title tipped in and verso with small section of adherence in centre of gutter to recto of frontispiece, frontispiece with tide-mark to upper margin, small ink-stain to lower fore corners to about p.75 First published in 1897; this copy is undated on the title-page and the advertisement leaf mentions Anthony Hope's Sophy of Kravonia, which appeared in 1906. A single copy of the first edition is located in auction records, sold in 2022 with an autograph letter by Sun, with no other copy of the first or any other edition traced.Kidnapped in London was the work which brought Sun Yat-sen international fame, setting him on the path to leading the overthrow the Qing dynasty and becoming the first provisional president of the Republic of China. Having orchestrated a failed uprising in Guangzhou in 1895, Sun embarked on a 16-year period of exile, deciding to travel first to London. Shortly after his arrival he was kidnapped by Chinese officials and held at the Chinese embassy on Portland Place for twelve days. Word of his imprisonment quickly spread and popular sentiment in his favour was marshalled by Dr James Cantlie, who had been Sun's teacher at the Hong Kong College of Medicine.‘That Sunday 11th October morning in 1896, Sun Yat-sen was an obscure figure. By the time he was released form the embassy, 12 days later, he was a hero to the British press. His account of being Kidnapped in London, published within a few weeks, made him globally famous … By the time Sun left Britain, in June 1897, he was connected to an international network of supporters. The kidnapping had transformed an obscure troublemaker into a revolutionary figurehead. A sojourn in the imperial capital had filled his mind with ideas of progress, nationalism and socialism that would inspire his movement. Fifteen years later, that movement overthrew the Qing empire, appointed Sun “provisional president” of the Republic of China and helped to create modern Asia’ (Bill Hayton, ‘The London Kidnapping that Changed China’, New Statesman, 12th October 2021).
