Condizione: Very Good. An essential association copy of the standard 19th-century guide to the West Country, from the personal library of the Dukes of Bedford. As major landowners in Devon, the Russell family's ownership of this specific title carries significant regional weight. This copy represents the 'Murray' system at its peak, providing an exhaustive inventory of the geology, antiquities, and logistics of the region. The inclusion of the 76-page 'Handbook Advertiser' for 1877-78 provides a detailed cultural snapshot of the late Victorian travel industry. Housed in a modern protective slipcase, it remains a clean, tight artifact of British topographical history. KEY FEATURES +++ Visuals: Features the large folding map of Devon and Cornwall and the plan of Exeter Cathedral; all maps remain in excellent state. +++ Binding: Original publisher's flexible red cloth with gilt-stamped titles to the spine and front board. +++ Content: 494 pages including comprehensive routes for both counties and a detailed index; followed by a 76-page illustrated 'Handbook Advertiser' dated 1877-78. +++ Provenance: Featuring the 1873 dated bookplate of Woburn Abbey (The Russell family, Dukes of Bedford). +++ Imprint: London: John Murray, Albemarle Street, 1872. [Advertiser dated 1877-78]. +++ Specs: 7 inches tall by 4.75 inches; 494 pp. + 76 pp. ads. CONDITION: Very Good. +++ The Book: The bindings are tight and square. The original red cloth is clean with light handling wear consistent with a library reference copy. Internally clean; the folding map in the rear pocket is remarkably well-preserved with only light, expected age-toning and no significant tears or misfolds. +++ The Slipcase: Housed in a modern slipcase which provides structural protection but is not a tonal or aesthetic match for the Victorian binding. SCHOLARLY FEATURES +++ Regional Governance: For the Dukes of Bedford, this was more than a travel guide; it was a record of the landscape they helped shape, particularly around their Tavistock holdings. +++ Bibliographical Variant: Documents the specific Murray practice of binding later advertisement sections into earlier printed sheets, creating a unique chronological hybrid. +++ Victorian Infrastructure: The text captures the West Country at the height of the railway boom, providing a primary record of the transit networks that opened Devon and Cornwall to modern tourism. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE John Murray's Handbooks were the first to provide a standardized, scholarly approach to British topography. The Russell family's copy of 'Devon and Cornwall' bridges the gap between the administrative reality of a great landed estate and the burgeoning 19th-century interest in regional heritage. The dated 1873 bookplate provides a rare, verifiable 'fixed point' for the provenance of a specific Victorian library acquisition. SUBJECTS: Devon, Cornwall, West Country History, Victorian Travel, John Murray, Woburn Abbey, Russell Family, Association Copy, Travel Guide, 19th-century Cartography.

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. Large fragments, both with interesting content, from the beginning of letters to unnamed seedsmen (both addressed to 'Dear Sir', but the two docketed by different individuals, suggesting different recipients). Neither has the signature present (presumably supplied to autograph hunters for placement in Sinclair's 'Hortus gramineus Woburnensis', described in the ODNB as'an expensive folio volume containing dried specimens of the grasses'). Both items in good condition, lightly aged, and with creases from having been folded up. ONE: The first leaf only of a letter docketed 'Mr G. Sinclair / Letter'. Undated, but from around the time of the publication of the 'Hortus gramineus Woburnensis'. 2pp, 4to. Thirty-six lines of text. He is 'truly sorry that necessity compelled me to apply to you to relinquish the copy you subscribed for. It was not by any means on account of Mr G.s having presented you ith a copy that I applied, but as you was among the last subscribers - and to two other subscribers in the same way I have applied, with one of which I was successful - and Mr Wilson having been also the last, has relinquished his (promised also to a friend) on this account. His Grace [the Duke of Bedford] has presented him with one.' He asks that 'the copy in question be sent to the Bedford office, Bloomsbury. to Mr Marsden who will return the money for it.' Changing the subject he passes on a message from 'Mr Wilkie': 'he says he feels very comfortable, and very sorry that it is not in his power to have his seeds from you as Government provides every thing then wanted'. Sinclair's foreman 'Moffat is still here but I should hope in the course of a short time he may be provided for to make room for Mr Murray who I shall consider a good acquisition. I give here 18/ with Lodgings &c.' He reports that 'The Duke of York is expected here next Wednesday with some high &c's &cs [Right Honourables?] - The consumption has been enormious [sic] all this winter.' The letter breaks off, at the foot of the second page: 'I will feel obliged therefore to have by next Thursdays coach 6 dozen Brocoli. 4 dozen Endive and [.]'. TWO: 1p, 4to. Fourteen lines of text. With a strip from the bottom (no doubt carrying the valediction and signature) torn away. Docketed on the otherwise-blank reverse: '1816 / Mr. Sinclair / Letter'. He hopes the recipient has recovered from his indisposition, and is surprised not to heard from him. 'I shall be obliged to you to inform me what the selling prices, two years ago, of the Telopia speciosissima (Warata), the Camellia Warata, Camellia Dble Buff, and Olea fragnans, were - It is of some importance for me to know the selling prices of these articles at least to know within a little of what they were or now are.' He ends by assuring him that his answer 'is merely private for myself'.
