PEPYS, SAMUEL, LORD RICHARD BRAYBROOKE; 'Diary and Correspondence of Samuel Pepys, F.R.S.', London: George Allen & Company, Ltd., 1911. 'A verbatum reprint of the edition of 1848-49', though seemingly the first edition from this publisher, with reprints following in 1914 and several times in the 1920s, complete in four volumes.
IRIS MURDOCH; two signed and inscribed novels comprising a 1962 second impression of 'An Unofficial Rose', inscribed to fellow author Richard Adams to the front endpaper 'For Richard with admiration & love from Iris Dec 1984', additionally signed by Murdoch to the title page. It was evidently his pre-Watership Down fame reading copy, with 'Richard Adams 1963' written neatly in his hand to the top right of the front endpaper, and his post-fame bookplate, complete with rabbit illustration, to the front pastedown, and the uncommon first Swedish edition of 'The Philosopher's Pupil' (Filosofens Larjunge), inscribed to the title page: 'For Ingmar Björkstén with the very best wishes of Iris Murdoch + with congratulations to an honorary Englishman Stockholm Nov 1984'. Björkstén was a notable Finnish-Swedish author and Journalist (2).
LOWRY, HENRY DAWSON; Women's Tragedies - Keynotes series London: John Lane, 1895. First edition. 201 pages plus two publisher's catalogues to the rear, 7 & 16 pages. The ninth title in the Keynotes series, with the title page, cover and key designs by Aubrey Beardsley. A collection of short stories and sketches, some with slightly weird elements, such as a man who seems to be suffering from sleep paralysis, watching a man preparing to commit a murder, who transpires to be the man committing the murder whilst seemingly having an out of body experience. CONDITION REPORT The book is firmly bound, the extremities are bumped and rubbed, the boards are lightly marked and the spine slightly darkened. The text block is toned and dusty with minor marks and cracking at points.
DULCKEN, HENRY WILLIAM; 'Domestic Animals, Familiar Birds, etc., their habits and history', London: Ward, Lock & Tyler, 1865, first, or early edition. 44 pages plus 12 double page colour illustrations. Undated, but with the publisher's address noted as '158 Fleet Street', placing it before the 1878 move to Warwick House, Paternoster Row. There seem to be at least two slightly later editions in cloth which note the newer address. The book bound in the publisher's illustrated paper covered boards, with red cloth spine strip. CONDITION REPORT The text block is slightly toned, foxed and marked, with short closed tears to the edges of a few pages, minor ink marks to one plate and some pencil whirls to another, probably added by a bored child.
A quantity of hardback books, mainly 19th century literature, including 'Highways and Byways in Devon and Cornwall and London', three AC Blacks pictorial cover books, 'Venice' by Mortimer Menpes, 'The Rubáiyát of Omar Khayyám', 'The English Lakes' by A Heaton Cooper, 'Peter Pan In Kensington Gardens', by JM Barrie, illustrated by Arthur Rackham, 'Chats On Old Furniture' by Arthur Hayden, 'The Lakes' by W Heaton Cooper, published by Warne, 'Winnie The Pooh' by AA Milne, 'The House at Pooh Corner' by AA Milne, Second Edition, 'When We Were Very Young', sixth edition, 'The Blue Fairy Book', Edited by Andrew Lang, fifth edition 1892, and the 'Welsh Fairy Book' by W Jenkyn Thomas fourth impression 1915. CONDITION REPORT The spine on the Lilac Fairy Book is worn, as are the front corners of the boards, it has a pencil inscription to the title page and staining to the first dozen or so pages to the bottom right. Further foxing throughout, appears to be complete but worn. The spine on the Welsh Fairy Book is flattened at the top and bottom, the opposing corners of the front and back boards are turned in. It has an inscription 'Tommy, With best love Christmas 1915' to the title page. The adhesive is starting to give from the spine to the pages of the book. There is heavy foxing to the title page and further light foxing throughout. The majority of the books in this lot appear to be in a well-used and worn condition.
