[Morden, Robert]. A Brief Description of England and Wales; containing A particular Account of each County... as also, the Distance of each Market Town from London, by the latest Survey... Embellished with Maps of each County. Very useful for Travellers and others, and very proper for Schools, to give Youth an Idea of Geography, and the Nature of his own Country, and each County, printed for H. Turpin, c.1780, fifty-two playing card maps (without suitmarks), mounted as issued, Leicestershire with upper corner of mount torn away (not affecting map), Radnorshire with small stain, also affecting the final two text leaves which follow, final leaf with blank fore-margin a little frayed and neatly repaired with archive tape, title within typographical border, modern brown calf by Peter Morgan, 1979, "original design reproduced`, according to ms. note on blank at rear, raised bands, covers blind panelled, together with one board of orig. sheep binding, 12mo (114 x 81 mm) Chubb CIX; Skelton, p.157. Rare. Robert Morden`s playing cards were first published in 1676. Nothing is known of how Homan Turpin came by the plates, some hundred years later, but somehow they came into his possession and he re-issued them in the present form, with the cards, minus their suitmarks, bound opposite descriptive text. The date of issue is speculative, but seems unlikely to be 1750 as stated by some sources. It is known that Turpin was a bookseller, mainly of secondhand books, from at least 1764 to 1787. None of the six known Turpin catalogues list the volume, so it is likely to have been issued late in his career. (1)Explanation page not present. This is not uncommon.

A rare programme for the 1902 F.A. Cup final Southampton v Sheffield United played at the Crystal Palace 19th April, in the form of a one penny match card printed by Guy Whittem & Co of Crystal Palace, Advertisement for The People Sunday newspaper to front, the reverse with team line-ups and further advertisements, horizontal fold, evidence of pasting to upper margin of advertisement side. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. Sheffield United won the replay also played at The Crystal Palace 2-1. The first match, for which the present programme was issued, was played in front of a capacity crowd of 76,914. Sheffield United opened the scoring early in the second half with a goal from Alf Common. Three years later Alf Common caused a sensation when becoming the subject of the first ever £1,000 transfer deal. Saints' captain Harry Wood equalised just two minutes from time. It was a controversial goal. Wood was in an offside position tying up his bootlaces when the ball reached him. After consultation between the referee and his linesman, the officials decided that the ball had struck a United defender thus playing Wood onside. After the match United's goalkeeper, William "Fatty" Foulke protested to the officials that the equalizing goal should not have been allowed. It is said that Foulke, who was reputed to weigh more than 20 stone, left his dressing room unclothed and angrily pursued the terrified referee who took refuge in a broom cupboard. A notable starter for Southampton was the brilliant all-round amateur sportsman C.B. Fry who represented England at international level at cricket and football as well as equalling the world record in the long jump and playing rugby union for Oxford University, Blackheath and the Barbarians.
