Douglass, Frederick Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, An American Slave. Written by Himself. Dublin: Webb and Chapman, Gt. Brunswick-Street, 1845. 8vo, org. blue cloth, boards panelled in blind, yellow endpapers. First Irish edition, published in the same year as the American first and before the first UK edition in 1846, making this effectively the second edition of the book. Douglass contributed a new preface in which he explained his purpose in coming to the UK - part of which was to avoid - in the aftermath of the publication of the book in the US - being restored to his previous owner (as the Constitution made him liable to be). Douglass had come to Dublin in 1845 and met with the Committee of the Hibernian Anti-Slavery Society who issued a recommendation on his behalf to all abolitionists. A hugely significant, and scarce, piece of Americana by a statesman, reformer, and slave,Spine faded, some shelf wear to edges of boards, slightly cocked, a little marked and dusty inside but a very good copy of a rare book.

Kaye, Sir John William F.R.S. The History of the Sepoy War in India, 1857-1858. W.H. Allen & Co., 1880. (3 vols). and Malleson, Col. G.B. History of the Indian Mutiny. W.H. Allen & Co., 1878-80. (3 vols). with Pincott, Frederick Analytical Index [to the above combined set]. W.H. Allen & Co., 1880. 8vo (7 vols). All uniformly bound in full calf gilt, boards with double gilt-fillet borders, spines gilt in compartments with contrasting morocco lettering pieces in two, gilt roll-tooled board edges, blind roll-tooled turn-ins, all edges marbled, marbled endpapers; Kaye II: 1 folding coloured map; III: 3 folding maps, 1 coloured; Malleson II: 7 folding maps, 2 coloured; III: 4 folding maps; provenance: Sir James Joicey Bart. (his armorial bookplate on upper pastedowns). Sir James (later Baron Joicey) was MP for Chester-le-Street and Chairman of his families' mining business. The Joicey pits included ones at Beamish. This six-volume History was first produced by Colonel George Malleson (1825-1898), combining Sir John Kaye's unfinished History with his own work. Kaye (1814-1876) was a soldier and historian who started the Calcutta Review in 1844. His use of first-hand evidence, collected from personal and professional contacts, supports (perhaps predictably) his assertion that the rebellion is a story of British 'national character'. Malleson's contributions derive from his controversial 'Red Pamphlet' (1857) and he is unafraid to criticise or praise British troops and administration as the occasion demands. The set includes the Index produced for the combined work.Some slight shelf wear to edges of boards, with slight rubbing of the leather, one small marginal tear to map in Kaye III, slightly affecting map, but a handsome set, clean and bright internally.
