Hills jun. for Francis Barlow, 1687.⁂ A very good copy of Barlow's famous edition, his masterful illustrations enhancing the verses of Aphra Behn.Sir William Morton Eden, 7th Baronet of West Auckland and 5th Baronet of Maryland, of Windlestone Hall, County Durham, was father of Prime Minister Anthony Eden, later Earl of Avon. He was an eccentric and irascible man, a brilliant huntsman, talented watercolourist, and early collector of impressionist pictures. In the words of his son Sir Timothy: '...he was induced neither by poverty nor obscurity of birth, nor by timidity - for he was physically and morally fearless - nor by the slightest vestige of self-discipline, to restrain the exuberance of his feelings. Nature had showered upon him with an uncontrolled hand her gifts and her curses alike, and without control he received them all, and without control he expended them.' He had a celebrated legal dispute with Whistler over a portrait he had commissioned of Lady Eden.

The subjects of the character sketches are a Coquette, Hypocrites, the Conceited Female, a Gamester and the Litigious.The first work ran into several editions, all of which are scarce in commerce, but the second does not appear to have been reissued.

This suppressed issue was, according to Carroll, riddled with printing production faults. The illustrations were over-printed, the pages badly folded and it led to him threatening to terminate his contract with Macmillan. This had already been an issue for the first edition of the 1865 Alice, which was recalled after Tenniel complained about the quality of the printing. Only 60 copies had gone out when Carroll intervened. He asked Macmillan to destroy the remainder of the edition, which led to Through the Looking Glass being out of print until 1897. As mentioned in the 'Advertisement' he later changed his mind about destroying the remaining copies of this edition, and instead favoured rebinding it and distributing it to charitable institutions, which had been done with the first suppressed Alice, and as is the case with this copy.Crutch records the locations of only two rebound copies (Harvard and the collection of Selwyn H.Goodacre, who compiled an unpublished census of copies, with only 4 in the original cloth and 2 rebound).

(2)⁂ Rare edition at auction of this important patristic work. Offered here with a rare opportunity of comparison with a censored copy of the same work (passages of text obliterated in ink and some leaves removed or partly excised). One wonders if the vigorous censor was spurred on by the notion that Erasmus had 'laid the egg that Luther hatched'.

B. Ferroni, 1648.⁂A crisp and clean copy on thick paper of this rare compendious scholastic mathematical work by the Jesuit Bettini (1582-1657). It encompasses all the major fields of mathematics, with special attention paid to Geometry, including Astronomical Geometry. The work would have passed through the rigorous censorship of Christopher Grienberg of the Collegio Romano, where Aristotelian teachings were adhered to. He had succeeded Christopher Cluvius, who had been the prime mover in establishing mathematics in the curriculum of the college and had greatly influenced future Jesuit mathematical writings. It is not known how much of the work can be accredited to Grienberg, but it is clear that the mechanical and measuring devices illustrating the work must be by him. Indeed, Bettini acknowledges the debt to him in the Scholion Parergicon in the present work.Provenance: The Earls of Macclesfield, Shirburn Castle (blind stamp to first three ff., bookplates to pastedown).

Neuroscience.- Le Lièvre (Guillaume) Ars memorativa, collation: a-c8 d4, title with large woodcut printer's device depicting the shop of Badius, 3 large woodcut illustrations in text, woodcut criblé historiated and decorative initials, stained, modern binding using limp blind-stamped vellum from an old binding, some soiling and marking, 8vo, [Paris], Josse Badius, [1520].⁂ On memory, imagination, cognition and the senses.
