Minischalci, comte Aloysius Mororum Libri III. Carminum Liber. Veronae: Apud Haeredem Augustini Carattoni Typographum Seminarii, 1769. 8vo, full contemporary vellum, boards with double-blind fillet borders with floral cornerpieces enclosing central blind-blocked lozenge, spine with contrasting morocco lettering piece, red edges, star-patterned endpapers, green silk marker; pp. [6], 186; title with eng. vignette, eng. head- and tail-pieces to three books by Dionigi Valesio after D. Cignaroli, inhabited capitals; provenance: vide supra. Adami, Anton Filippo Prospetto di una Nouva Compilazione Della Storia Fiorentina…Pisa: Per Gio.

Pecorone, Bonifacio Memorie dell' abate D. Bonifacio Pecorone…[Napoli : Nella stamperia nuova di Angelo Vocola a Fontana Medina, 1729]. 8vo, full contemporary vellum, contrasting morocco lettering piece to spine, red and black speckled edges, green silk marker; possibly lacking title, floriated initals, elaborate tail-piece to first part; provenance: vide supra but without bookplate of Ward (though likely from his library). and Dritto della Corona di Napoli sopra Piombino. n.d. but c. 1760 bound with Dritto del re delle Sicilie. 8vo, full vellum, red edges, red star endpapers; provenance: vide supra. Berio was renowned as a man of culture and taste. In 1791, he inherited the title of marchese, along with the famous library and art collection of his father. Francesco added to the library, although his acquisitions for the art collection were of greater significance. In the early 1800s, his literary salons were celebrated, attracting many notable figures including Gabriele Rossetti and Gioacchino Rossino. Berio wrote libretti for several Rossini operas including Otello and Ricciardo and Zoraide. After his death the greater part of the library was sold to William Ward, 3rd Viscount Dudley and Ward.
Luther, Martin Der ander Teil der Buecher. Wittemberg: Georgen Rhawen Erben, 1551. Folio, contemporary blind-stamped pigskin over wooden boards, metal clasps (lacking one), spine with remnants of paper label lettered in ink; leaves: [6], 576; title printed in red and black with woodcut vignette of Crucifixion, one woodcut of Daniel's Dream to text, floriated initials, decorative tail-pieces, black letter; provenance: M. Georgy Niemeijen ?Politani 1578.. Boards rubbed, bumped etc with some loss, pages varying with some marking etc and some toning, some fading contemporary MSS markings and notes to margin, generally very good.
Finden, William Illustrations to the Life and Works of Lord Byron. John Murray, 1833-4. 8vo (3 vols). Red pebble-grain cloth, boards with blind borders, spines lettered in gilt, a.e.g.; 3 additional eng. titles, 122 plates (lacking Gibraltar in vol I, otherwise as called for). First collected edition with text by W. Brockenden. A blending of literature and travel in a similar vein to Finden's Illustrations of the Bible.. Bindings with some edge wear, some variable foxing and offsetting, mainly to back of plates, but a very good set.
Catherine of Wickham [Catherine Gladstone Stewart] Two unpublished manuscript fairy tales. The Fairy Tale of the Ugly King, 1863, pp. 225 and Princess Liliola, 1865, pp. 403. 8vo, similarly bound in panelled calf, blind roll-tooled board edges, red edges, marbled endpapers. From the nineteenth-century school of such tales, replete with fey knights, glittering Courts and a very clean faux-medieval chivalry. The Ugly King bears a dedication to 'My dear sister'. A brief pencil note at the front of the volumes records that the author died of cholera in Italy in 1869. The names of characters certainly bear a Continental style ('Fidelio' and 'King Benvenuto I') though this may simply be the Victorian style of setting strange tales in semi-fictionalised European settings.. Bindings scuffed and bumped but tight, internally generally clean.
Vergil, Polydore Urbinatis de rerum inventoribus libri octo bound with Urbinatis Dialogorum. Basel: Mich. Isingriniu[m], 1550. 8vo, handsomely bound in full contemporary calf, boards elaborately decorated with broad blind fillet borders with fleur-dy-lis cornerpieces enclosing foliate roll-tooled borders with roundels bearing heads all around a central vignette of a man with a lion with smaller spear carriers above and below the vignette, spine with five raised bands, compartments decorated with floral roll-tool of the previous border, bevelled board-edges, metal corner-pieces, two clasps, older MSS used for endpapers; pp. [48], 524, [2 (blank)], [6], 205, [1 (blank)]; floriated and inhabited initials; provenance: Cuthbert 1790 (owner's ink inscription and occasional neat MSS marginalia) -- Stones (armorial bookplate to ffep). In Latin.. Binding a little worn but still handsome, clean internally, an attractive copy.
Passport (No. 45637) to visit the Continent Single folded printed sheet of blue paper, watermarked 'Whatman', with MSS ink additions, authorising Andrew Cockcroft to travel on the Continent, issued March 1857 by George, Earl of Clarendon, Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (with his facsimile signature and coat of arms printed at foot), Royal arms at head of document, signed by Cockcroft, with blind duty stamp 'FIVE SHILLINGS' at lower left corner, both sides with diplomatic stamps, laid down at upper left corner in leather wallet, gilt inscribed with Cockcroft's name and that of W.J. Adams, Passport Agent, with blank notebook, first four pages showing further stamps and last three pencil notes (presumably by Cockcroft), with inserted pencil. It has not been possible to definitively identify Andrew Cockcroft but from the notes he appears to have been a traveller for the textile industry. The notes mention mills, production levels and one Mr Franks' displeasure with some discharged silk which evidently had 'too many ?shocks in the middle'. He may well have lived or worked in Manchester as although the first consular stamps for France and Germany were from London, there is a French stamp for 1871 from Manchester. William James Adams, the agent, is most famous for his role as Bradshaw's agent in London, in which role he played a large part in promoting the famous Guide. Apart from his publishing career, he was also a famously efficient passport agent, renowned for the speed with which he acquired the necessary visas. He was the first agent listed in Baedecker's Egypt (not an alphabetical list…) which may suggest the power of his reputation. It appears passports became standardised documents in 1855 so this is from the early years of their issue.. Scuffing to wallet, document creased from use and wallet, but intact and legible, a very good example.
Stoeffler, Johannes Elucidatio Fabricae ususque Astrolabii. Lutetiae: Guillaume Cavellat, 1553. 8vo, full calf, sometime rebacked, blind panelling to lower board enclosing crowned CR monogram with small skull all crossed out; leaves: [8], 48, 57-172 (lacking 49-56 and final un-numbered leaf); 1 folding letterpress table (of 3), numerous illus to text, letterpress tables. A highly significant text in early astronomy, Stoeffler's book studied the manufacture and use of the astrolabe through a series of worked examples. His style of presentation was influential, with many of the following 16th century books on mathematical instruments using a similar style. This monogram and skull suggests the binding was executed in memorial of Charles I, as similar bindings can be seen in the UL's special collection (e.g. CCE.8.20).. w.a.f.
Engineering / Railway Interest. Victorian album of photographic images of steam engine parts and locomotives, most of the photographs accompanied by ink annotation to margins, one of the images with blind-stamp for 'The Hunslet Engine Company, Leeds'. Inscription to first leaf, 'This book was given to me by P. B. Head Engineer on his death bed - at Cinder Hill in the end of June 1870 - and its contents were collected by him during the few years that he worked in England'
Glasgow - A rare Scottish provincial blind casterJames Glen, marked IG, Glasgow town mark, IG, S, the body of baluster form with original engraved initial, raised on a short stem and spreading foot, the pull off cover with spiralled gadrooning with intertwined engraved banding and urn finialHeight: 15.5cm, weight: 7.05ozNotes:Of a typical form this caster is unusual in its form as a 'blind' caster. Taking its name from the un-pierced nature of the domed cover these casters are rarely found in Scottish silver. This is not surprising considering that casters were not necessarily commissioned in sets of three or more, and more usually found surviving in pairs (although could obviously have been split). Although more perhaps exist but not recorded within group listings or had originally not been fully catalogued with enough details to determine blind or otherwise, it is interesting to note that 'The Compendium of Scottish Silver' lists only five examples between 1706 and 1770.
