Condizione: Good. Privately printed for confidential and family use : three hardback volumes. 4to (32cm by 26cm), with text and numerous folding pedigrees. Uniformly bound in the original half white vellum, grey boards, gilt titling to the spines. The bindings are rubbed and dusty, and there is some light scattered foxing of the contents, but the bindings are tight and this is a good, solid set overall.

This volume has the bookplate of W Ashton James, and has a few pages of manuscript additions at the back of the book. The second supplementary volume was published in 1914, and is entitled "Additions and Corrections to the Pedigrees of James of Culgarth, West Auckland and Barrock, and their kinsfolk". It contains 35 pages of text and two folding pedigrees. Bound in at the back of the second supplement is a further pedigree, of the Graham branch of the family, dated 1917.

First American Edition or first published exclusively by Charles Scribner's Sons and not Scribner & Welford. In any event the book was obviously printed in London by Leadenhall Press, as their catalog is bound in at the back and 21s/- price is at front cover. Title page to this volume with Scribner's as the publisher was likely tipped in, as it is now detached, having split along the inside edge of the page. Large octavo, original blue cloth, 362 pages. Uncommon history of all things beverage, including chapters on liquor, beer, tea, etc. Includes a chapter titled: American Drinks, with three pages of recipes including Sleeper, Bishop, Locomotive, Pousse l'Amour, Blue Blazer, Black Stripe, etc. From the text: "The great authority, probably the greatest authority, on this interesting subject is a gentleman who, with the true modesty of genius, allows himself to be known only by the pseudonym of Jerry Thomas. Formerly a bar-tender at the Metropolitan Hotel, New York, and the Planter's House, St. Louis, he is said to have traveled over Europe and America in search of all that is recondite in this branch of the spirit art. His very name, says one of his admirers, is synonymous in the lexicon of mixed drinks with all that is rare and original. Among, the chief American drinks are, being alphabetically arranged, cobblers, cocktails, cups, flips, juleps, mulls, nectars, neguses, noggs, punches, of which there are at least three score, sangarees, shrubs, slings, smashes, and toddies". Found in the following references: Straight Up Or On the Rocks, The Story of the American Cocktail by William Grimes; The School of Sophisticated Drinking: An Intoxicating History of Seven Spirits By Kerstin Ehmer, Beate Hindermann; Absinthe The Cocaine of the Nineteenth Century By Doris Lanier; A Bibliography on Grapes, Wines, Other Alcoholic Beverages, and Temperance By Maynard Andrew Amerine, Axel E. Borg; Very Good copy, but cracked between frontis and title page, both sheets detached. Could probably be fixed with some effort. Ink signature of Warham Whitney at title page (a 19th Century socialite of Rochester, New York).…
