Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Good. Published by the author in 1857, this is the condensed edition of the authors biography, bound in the original cloth with later replacement cloth spine, 9 inches tall approx., 204 pages, plus illustrations. The books cover is rubbed and marked, and is ex-Shropshire Library with their catalogue number… to the spine, library plate to front endpaper, stamp to reverse of title page, (pictured) small hole to one page just touching the text, browning and foxing on an off throughout, else in good acceptable condition. Charles Hulbert (18 February 1778 - 9 October 1857) was an English businessman and writer. The son of Thomas Hulbert of Hulbert Green, near Cheadle, Cheshire, he was born in Manchester on 18 February 1778, and educated at the grammar school of Halton, Cheshire. After learning cotton-weaving he became manager, at the age of twenty-two, of a large print works at Middleton, near Manchester, and subsequently began business with his elder brother at Swinton, also near Manchester. In 1803, he moved to Shrewsbury, and in conjunction with others leased some large factories at Coleham on the outskirts of the town. He applied, but unsuccessfully, for ordination in the Church of England. He entered Sunday school and other religious work, carrying on classes and services at the factory. He became acquainted with the Shropshire Methodist Circuit and guest-preached at Wellington, Madeley and Coalbrookdale. He assisted Joseph Lancaster in building one of his Lancasterian schools in Shrewsbury. At the request of William Wilberforce and Henry Grey Bennet (who was then Shrewsbury's local Member of Parliament) in 1808 he drew up a report on the management of factories, as an answer to a claim made in parliament that manufactories were hotbeds of vice. Soon afterwards he declined an offer to move to St. Petersburg, made to him, it is said, by an agent of the emperor of Russia. In 1813, his business as a cotton manufacturer having fallen off, he opened a bookshop and printing-office at Shrewsbury, where he published the Salopian Magazine (1815-17), and printed many small books, most of them written by himself. He also traded as an auctioneer. In 1825 he gave up the lease of the factory, returning it to its builder John Carline. In 1827 he built a house at Hadnall, near Shrewsbury, which he called 'Providence Grove,' and here he continued to print and publish his writings. His house burned down, and his large library was destroyed, on 7 January 1839; but he was able by a public subscription and a grant from the Royal Literary Fund, to rebuild his residence and to purchase an annuity. He died there after a stroke on 7 October 1857 aged 79, and was buried at the parish church in Hadnall, where his epitaph speaks of "a diversified and uesful life".

Aggiungi al carrelloSmall 8vo, lithograph portrait frontispiece and pp. viii, 176; printed on laid paper; contemporary or original black diced calf, spine gilt, red morocco label, marbled endpapers. Armorial bookplate of Frederick William Cosens. First edition of these witty poems by W.T. Moncrieff (1794-1857, born William Thomas Thomas), an except…ionally prolific dramatiser of novels and other works. Moncrieff ran Astley's in the late teens, where he staged spectacular shows with horses, including wonderful effects such as fire, waterfalls, dioramas and other amazing effects. Although he later went blind and ended his days in the Charterhouse, the present poems were written and published during Moncrieff's days of prosperity and fecundity: they show him reading and translating from Italian, French and German as well as Latin and Greek, and attempting a wide range of different verse forms. His footnotes also reference contemporary English poets such as Byron and Coleridge. The dedicatory poem, and the concluding poem in the volume, are addressed to his wife Mary Anne, who had died in May 1828 at the age of only 22. The book appears to have been printed at his own private press at Saville House, Lambeth: he seems to have lived nearby, because the preface is signed from 5 Union Place, Lambeth. Two copies only in Copac, at the BL and Cambridge UL.

First edition, folio issue, of Callery's most important sinological work, produced at his own press in Macao. - In the preface Callery explains how, with limited funds and materials, he established a small printing office, acquired a set of used types, and with six local assistants inexperienced in Western languages set the work himself. - The "Systema" presents a guide to writing Chinese characters in three styles, followed by a trilingual (Chinese-French-Latin) dictionary and a large collection of colloquial sentences; Part II includes a double page all Chinese "Tabula synoptica phoneticarum omnium". - Issued in both 8vo and folio formats. Leroux's 1876 catalogue of Callery's library priced the octavo at 60 francs, noting the folio at 100 francs and already sold out, signalling early scarcity of this larger issue. - A substantial Macao production on fragile, locally made paper, here preserved in remarkable state with wide margins and the contemporary boards, and bearing the ticket of the leading Paris Orientalist bookseller Benjamin Duprat. - Partly uncut. Occasional light marginal browning and a few spots; short closed tear at foot of Part I, pp. 81f.; endpapers browned; light wear to extremities.

Aggiungi al carrelloCondizione: Edges rubbed; very good copy. First edition. Small 8vo, contemporary black morocco, skillfully rebacked, gilt decorations and lettering, a.e.g. Frontis portrait of the author after a portrait by R. Reading. Bound in before the portrait is a ten-page manuscript of Monceieff's poem "An Allegory," signed and dated Septe…mber 20, 1845. A collection of about 100 poems in several forms by the playwright, theatre manager, miscellaneous writer and apparently occasional printer, as well. William Thomas Moncrieff (1794-1857) was a self-described "hack," and a prolific one, who specialized in adapting novels for the stage and who made what little money he could in theatre and literary work of any kind. A few years after this volume was published, Moncrieff began struggling with progressive blindness. Poems contains sonnets, songs, ballads, epigrams and madrigals, mostly on the subject of unrequited love, something at which Moncrieff appears to have had a great deal of experience. At the foot of the final page of text is the imprint "W. T. Moncrieff, Typ. Saville House, Lamberth." Inscribed at the head of the title-page "To J. Miles Esqr / With the Author's best acknowledgements." The manuscript poems go into length about the aging process and loss of sight and is certainly in part autobiographical. NCBEL III, 1134; Copac records two copies (BL and Cambridge); OCLC adds Aberdeen and Bibliotheque Nationale de France.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardcover. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st Edition. [LIGNE, Charles-Joseph Prince de]. Préjugés militaires, par un officier autrichien. 'A Kralovelhota' (author's private press at Beloeil Castle). 2 volumes in 8vo. [4] + 224p; [2] + 148p including engraved dedication leaf, and 2 leaves of addititi…onal index at end; with 20 engraved plates (mostly folding) showing arms and military tactics, 2 folding tables; 14 exquisitely engraved vignettes of battles by Choffard in the text. Ornamental vignettes. Half calf, marbled boards. First edition of one of the most charming 18th century illustrated book, a witty discussion of contemporary army tactics by an Austrian field marshal. The Prince de Ligne (1735-1814) first distinguished himself during the Seven-Years' War against Frederick the Great whom he greatly admired and who appears to be the only authority not questioned here. Ligne seems to have been a follower of the French tactician Guibert, who in turn had been influenced by the Prussian method. The first volume comprises general observations on cavalry and infantry, artillery, fortification, discipline etc, as well as chapters on military medicine and hospitals; it is adorned with exquisite miniature textual illustrations (48 x 73mm) of famous battles of the Seven Years' War (1756-63), engraved by Choffard after designs by the author, making it one of the most charming of 18th century books. The second volume, entitled 'Fantaisies Militaires', is devoted to battle orders, composition of army units, and general manoeuvres. This edition is also interesting as a typographical curiosity, having been printed at the author's private press at Beloeil Castle, famous for its gardens, and published with a spurious imprint. It was later reprinted at Dresden and translated into German in 1783. A few occasional insignificant light traces of usage, but a very good copy from the Liechtenstein collection with armorial bookplate on verso of front flyleaf of each volume.
