Sabin 33047 for the fifth and 'eighth' (actually the sixth) editions (erroneously identifying the third edition of 1826 as the first). Unprecedented in its scope and content, Horsburgh's pilot was first published in 1809-11, as Directions for Sailing to and from the East Indies. All editions are rare. We trace four institutional copies only with both volumes in second edition: King's College London, Leiden, the Defensie Bibliotheken (Breda) and the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek; copies at Tübingen and the Staatsbibliothek Berlin cited by WorldCat appear to belong to the third edition of 1826-7; a few other copies appear to contain volume one in third edition (1826) bound with a second edition of volume two. The Supplement is present in the KCL and Leiden copies, catalogued as containing 52 and 48 pages respectively; Berkeley and University of California NRLF each hold a separate copy of the Supplement, both with 50 pages, as in our copy; a copy at Yale lacks all after page 32. Bound in at the rear of volume one in our copy, and apparently not accounted for by library collations, is a single-leaf appendix (chi1) titled 'Discoveries in the Gulf of Persia' and mentioning ?Abu Dhabi ('Boothabeen'), Dubai, Sir Bani Yas and other areas in the modern United Arab Emirates. The Supplement contains a near full-page notice on Bahrain (p. 26), as well as covering the south coast of China, the Yellow Sea, Formosa, and elsewhere.

Being a Compleat Method of Physick, whereby a man may preserve his Body in Health; or cure himself, being sick, for three pence charge, with such things only as grow in England, they being most fit for English Bodes, 1st edition, London: Printed by Peter Cole, at the sign of the Printing-Press in Cornhil, near the Royal Exchange, 1652, title with some soiling and marks, with slight loss to upper right corner, and paper repair to lower margin, laid down, A-Z2, Aa-Zz2, Aaa-Bbb2, lacking engraved portrait frontispiece of Culpeper by Thomas Cross, occasional marks and light soiling, and some minor marginal water stains, L1 with a small paper repair to lower blank inner margin, a few early ink annotations, early (probably 18th century) ownership signature of Winifrid Warham to head of title, early 19th century engraved bookplate of Sir William Grace, Bart to front pastedown, early 19th century half-calf calf, somewhat worn to cover, spine and edges, with upper cover detached, folio (sheet size 270 x 180 mm, 10.6 x 7 ins)Qty: (1)NOTESESTC R24897 (5 copies in the UK, 7 in the US); Wing C7501; Henrey 53; Norman 541. The rare first edition of Culpeper's famous Herbal, which has been almost continuously in print since its first appearance. The early female owner of this copy 'Winifrid Warham' may be the Winifred Warham of St. Andrew's Holborn, who is listed in Charles Cosin, The Names of the Roman Catholics, Nonjurors, and others who refus'd to take the Oaths to his late Majesty King George, 2nd edition, 1746 (page 18), and who is therein described as having an estate at Crostcombe (probably present-day Corscombe), in Dorset, in possession of Francis Allen.

Fielding (Henry). Amelia, 4 volumes, 1st edition, London: A. Millar, 1752, vol.1 with dropped pagination on p.22 (1st state?) and without final blank, vol. 2 with advertisement leaf at end (often lacking), vol. 3 with fourth line of p.191 corrected to "at the Folly" (2nd state?), some light dampstaining mostly at front and rear, armorial bookplate of Sir Edmund Antrobus to upper pastedowns, contemporary calf, gilt decorated spines, joints split, some scorching mostly to spines, worn, 12mo, together with: [Fielding, Henry].

"There were two impressions of the first edition, one in December 1751, the second in January 1752; no distinguishing characteristics have been recorded". Millar ordered William Strahan to print the work on two of his printing presses in order to produce a total of 5,000 copies for the first run of the work. Rothschild claims that there were two impressions, one in December 1751, the second in January 1752, but this seems to be confused with the second edition of 3,000 copies which Millar ordered to follow the first but subsequently cancelled. "Fielding's Amelia was the most pleasing heroine of all the romances...but that vile broken nose never cured, ruined the sale of perhaps the only book, which being printed off betimes one morning, a new edition was called for before night" Samuel Johnson, pp.221-222 in Anecdotes of the late Samuel Johnson, 1786. Johnson's concern seems to have been noted, for Fielding's second edition of Amelia did see the addition of a scene in which the eponymous heroine's nose is reset. (Second work) - Rothschild 844. Fielding's first novel.

First collected edition, and the second complete edition overall of all each work. Hobbes's translations of the Odyssey and the Iliad first appeared in 1675 and 1676 respectively, following a partial translation of the Odyssey (books nine to twelve only) in 1673. The Iliad as it appears in this edition retains the 1676 title-page and has the same collation: it is perhaps more suitably described as a re-issue rather than an entirely new edition.
