Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Second Edition. (no dust jacket, but is protected by a custom-cut plastic jacket) [slight bumping and modest wear to corners and spine ends; one-time owner's name and circumstances of the book's purchase in ink at the top of the Foreword page; several chow-related newspaper clippings glued to otherwise mostly blank pages in both the front and rear of the book]. (line drawings) As the title says. This is the second edition of a book first published in 1928, one of a number of similarly-titled volumes in the "Popular Dog" series ("The Popular Pekingese," "The Popular Cocker Spaniel," you get the idea; nine different titles, including this one, are advertised at the end of the volume). The co-author, Mrs. Baer (of Baltimore), contributed only Chapter VIII, entitled "The Chow Chow in America." This edition has its own introduction, by Alice O. Fullerton, operator (or perhaps just resident) of "The Nea Kennels, Polshot Farm, Elstead, Godalming, Surrey." ("Godalming" sounds something like what I uttered when I read that address for the first time.) I wonder if the publisher had a subsidiary called Unpopular Dogs Publishing Company.

Condizione: Sehr gut. 5 octavo - pages on 2 sheets, folded. Excellent condition. Signed by Hay and dated probably "Monday, 19 Oct. [1829]". References: I. See "The Quarterly Review - Volume XLI (July & November 1829), page 465 and following pages, in which a report is discussed of a deposition by the British Vice-Consul 'Wood', that in the month of June 1829 the arrival of the lost papers of the murdered Major Alexander Gordon Laing were imminent at Tripoli. It was then reported that the French consul général, Baron Jean-Baptiste de Rousseau was given these valuable papers of Major Alexander Gordon Laing and these then were demanded to be returned to the British in a personal visit to the French consulate at Tripoli by British consul, Hanmer Warrington, who was also the father-in-law of murdered explorer Aexander Laing. According to the report in te Quarterly Review, Baron de Rousseau was appaled to be ccused to have thes epapers or to hold them back and demanded evidence. The consequence of this was a full blown French-British diplomatic conflict and on page 471 of "The Quarterly Review" it is mentioned, that "We understand that our ambassador in Paris was instructed to demand from the French Government an investigation of the conduct imputed to Baron Rousseau; and that a commission was appointed to inquire, accordingly, into the transaction". The here offered letter by Robert William Hay to Baron de Rothesay, is the letter which reflects this report and the action of the British Crown to protest at Paris. Source II: Essay for "The National Archives", on April 5th, 2018, by Dr. Juliette Desplat: "From Tripoli to Timbuktu": In this essay, Dr.Desplat explains: "One hundred and ninety years ago, in April 1828, French explorer René Caillé became the first European to reach Timbuktu, in present-day Mali, and return alive. He was awarded 10,000 francs by the Société de Géographie, the French geographical society, and the book he published was funded by the French government. Caillé, however, had been preceded in Timbuktu Englishman [sic][correct: Scotsman], Major Alexander Gordon Laing. In January 1825, Laing was instructed by Lord Bathurst, the Secretary of State for War and the Colonies, to 'proceed from Tripoli to Timbuctoo' to gather information on the Niger basin and determine the exact location of this city. Timbuktu's legend was based on the accounts of Arab travellers who had visited the city before the 16th century. Its name alone conjured up wondrous images of wealth and mystery. The roofs, they said, were made of gold These stories prompted a race to Timbuktu between two old rivals: Britain and France. In the words of the British consul at Tripoli, Hanmer Warrington, 'the French were making efforts to pluck from England's brow those laurels to which the latter was so justly entitled' so time was of the essence. Laing left Britain in February 1825, and reached Tripoli on 9 May. Warrington was quite taken with him, although he feared that 'the delicate state of his health' would prevent him from completing the mission. Laing seemed to get better in Tripoli, however, and started planning. It was agreed that the expedition would go through Ghadames, in what is now North-western Libya. The road from Tripoli to Ghadames was virtually unexplored and travelling along it would provide Laing with an opportunity to fill in a blank space on the map. On 14 July 1825, rather unexpectedly and after a whirlwind romance, Laing married Emma, Warrington's second daughter. The consul wasn't pleased. Sure enough, he found Laing 'clever and gentlemanly', and thought 'his talents were conspicuous' but, given the circumstances, he tried to block the wedding.[.] A few days after his wedding, Laing set out for Timbuktu under the guidance of Sheikh Babany, a merchant who had lived in Timbuktu and promised he could take Laing there in two and a half months. Having travelled across the Sahara, he reached Ghadames on 13 September, after what he described as 'a very ted.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. 1st Edition. With cancel title page and dedication printed by A. Hart; Page 109-12 are a cancel bifolium printed in London by the Eliot's Court Press. Cf. STC. This copy is bound with bound with, as often, "Ta t?n Mus?n exodia" (see STC 142). There are two variants of Hart's issue, the other with line 3 in the title reading "To the High and". A woodcut portrait of King James VI/I and the royal arms appears on the first leaf. The text is richly adorned with a variety of woodcut ornaments and elaborate initials. A fine copy in 19th c. straight-grain green morocco, richly tooled in gold (hinges rubbed, with light wear at the head and foot of the spine.) The text is in excellent condition with just some light stains on p. 142-3, a small natural paper flaw affecting a few letters on leaf Pp3, and a light water-stain to leaf Xx2. A splendid production, promoted by King James VI and I himself, commemorating the king's return to Scotland in 1617, where he was presented with poems of welcome and praise, collected in this deluxe volume. In addition to the Latin poems, the book features three English poems: William Drummond's "Forth Feasting" and two untitled poems by Alexander Craig (ca. 1567-1624), delivered at Kinnaird, and William Mure (1594-1657), presented at Hamilton; and a number of English speeches. There are also seven poems in Greek. "Each of the relevant stages in the king's progress is introduced (with a few exceptions, where space is tight) on a separate and impressive title page, with details of the date and place. "With over sixty individual contributors, 'The Muses' Welcome to the High and Mightie Prince James' (henceforth TMW) was written on the occasion of the return of King James VI and I to Scotland, after fourteen years, in 1617. Its acclamations are delivered with considerable ingenuity and skill in more than 130 poems, which range in length from short epigrams to much longer hexameter panegyrics. Such an assembly of verse to celebrate an itinerant sovereign has few if any parallels in any Neo-Latin context. Moreover, TMW is presented as a travelogue: a record, with precise dates, of the king's journey or 'progress' through some fifteen towns and other places in his northern realm, from Dundee to Drumlanrig (two visits are noted for Stirling, and at least two for Edinburgh. The poets form part of a landscape, an unselfconsciously Latinised landscape, which they rejoice to see rejuvenated by James' return. "TMW is a snapshot of Scotland in a particular summer, or rather perhaps a group photograph (one of the livelier kind). A real work of cerebration as well as celebration by the Scottish towns and cities, TMW is testimony to Scotland's cultural and educational achievements, at a moment which coincides with the zenith of Scottish Latin verse. Finally-though of course this is the first point that the reader experiences-TMW is a delight to handle and peruse, because of its generous dimensions, its use throughout of a large italic font, its ample spacing, and its clear and dignified announcement of each new place visited and the date of arrival. This fine appearance is hardly surprising, for it was commissioned by the king himself, evidently well pleased by the poetic homage presented to him in these three months, and entrusted by him to Edinburgh's leading printers. He also made careful provision for the distribution of eighty copies, which may or may not comprise the whole print run. "The [King's] itinerary according to TMW is as follows: Dunglass, Seton, Edinburgh, Falkland, Kinnaird, Dundee, Edinburgh a second time, Dalkeith, Stirling, Perth, St. Andrews, Stirling a second time, Glasgow, Paisley, Hamilton, Sanquhar, Drumlanrig, Dumfries. It confines itself to the places where the king was welcomed with 'poesies' or, occasionally, just a speech. The McNeills ("The Scottish progress of James VI, 1617") add to this from their own viewpoint, but only in a single place is there a significant difference. They add, with good evidence.…
