Hardcover. Zustand: Near fine. Second Edition. To Which is added, with new views, A Continuation of the Operations from the 5th of May, 1836, to the close of March, 1837. xvi, [2], 330 p. 24 cm. Frontispiece, one map, 5 other lithograph plates. Bound in burgundy leather with marbled paper boards. New endpapers. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on title page: "Baron de Kettenburg with kind regards from his old friend and brother ? The Author." John Richardson, born 1796 in Queenston, was the first Canadian novelist to achieve an international reputation; his best-known novel, Wacousta, was in print for over a century. As a soldier he distinguished himself before he was 17 years old and as a journalist he played a significant role in the 1837 Rebellions. He was undoubtedly one of the most colourful figures in Upper Canada and one of the most obnoxious. Excitable, belligerent, haughty, and quick to take offence, his life was a succession of quarrels and controversies, one of which concerns this book. When civil war broke out in Spain between the legitimate monarch, Queen Isabella, and the pretender to the throne, Don Carlos, in 1834, Richardson enlisted in a British Auxiliary Legion, was promoted to the rank of captain, and later to that of major. After the storming of San Sebastian, he was created a Knight of Saint Ferdinand (K.S.F.) by Queen Isabella. While convalescing in London from a wound in 1836, he issued the first edition of this volume, in which he defended the Legion and its commander, General Sir De Lacy Evans, against the hostile criticism of the Tories in the House of Commons. But when Richardson heard that he had been passed over by General Evans in a list of promotions and decorations, he added a section to his book, bitterly attacking Evans as a cowardly and incompetent commander. He then reissued the book in 1837 as this volume, Movements of the British Legion with Strictures on the Course of Conduct Pursued by Lieutenant-General Evans. Never one to drop a quarrel lightly, Richardson followed this up with a second attack, The Personal Memoirs of Major Richardson as connected with the singular oppression of that officer while in Spain by Lieutenant-General Sir De Lacy Evans, published in Montreal in 1838 after Richardson had returned to Canada. The final assault was made in a satirical novel in which Evans is the thinly-disguised villian Jack Brag in Spain, published serially in the early 1840s in Richardson's Brockville newspaper, The New Era. On the title page, Richardson inscribes this book for his old friend George Frederick de Rottenburg, a British Army officer who arrived in Canada in the 1830s, departing Canada in 1852. George Frederick was the son of Major-General Francis de Rottenburg, a Swiss-born officer who served in Britain's army.

Two works in one volume, bound with one other (a third edition of Armstrong's Art of preserving health, 1748), 8vo, pp. [iii]-viii, 135; [iii]-vii, [i], 73; both without half titles; in contemporary half calf, spine with morocco label, a little rubbed. Unrecorded second edition - or rather, reissue of the first edition - of Sir John Hawkins and Joseph Richardson's Political Miscellanies (1788). This 'second edition' is not recorded in ESTC. Comparison with the first edition shows that the sheets of the main part of the book are exactly the same, but the title is adjusted to insert the edition statement, and the prefatory matter (an 'Address to the Public') is a reimpression with different press figures. Bound with this is another satirical attack on the Pitt ministry, also possibly by Joseph Richardson.

Cloth. Zustand: Very Good. None (illustrator). First edition. An extremely scarce late eighteenth-century political satire. First Edition. With letters, songs and essays, and one small illustration in the text. Richardson, Joseph (1755 1803), writer and politician. In addition to his work with the Morning Post and the English Chronicle, Richardson contributed letters signed "Englishman" to a paper called The Citizen, but much of his energy, after the establishment of Pitt's ministry, was devoted to political satire, published anonymously. He wrote numbers 4, 10, and 11 in Criticisms of "The Rolliad", part 1 (1784) and numbers 3 and 4 in part 2 (1785). He wrote numbers 4 and 19 in Probationary Odes for the Laureateship (1785), as well as much of the prose in that work (an attribution of these works can be found in an anonymous MS of 1785, inserted at the front of a combined edition, BL Catalogue G. 18972). He wrote The Delavaliad (1785), and The Jekyll, a Political Eclogue (1788), the latter a satire directed at the marquess of Lansdowne and his political adherents. He contributed to Political Miscellanies (1787) and also published, again anonymously, The Complete Investigation of Mr Eden's Treaty (1787), a serious political pamphlet which deployed historical argument and statistical evidence to support the whigs' attack on the commercial treaty with France. DNB Rebound in paper covered boards with a cloth spine. Externally sound, a very little shelfwear. Internally, firmly bound. Bright with light scattered spotting and a few small spill burns. The title is foxed, and has slight loss to the margin, not affecting the text. Very Good. book.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. London: John Murray, Richard Bentley and Josiah Fisher, 1829- 1837, 4 vols, 4to, (275 x 200mm), Contemporary red half morocco gilt, with 110 engraved plates of which 72 are hand-coloured, a very nice large uncut copy. Scarce Complete Copy of the First Edition of this Rare Work on the Natural History of the Arctic. Sir John Richardson (1787 1865), surgeon, naturalist and Arctic explorer, went on Sir John Franklin's first two Arctic expeditions as ship's doctor and naturalist, and made observations and collected a large number of plant and animal specimens from the Canadian Arctic. On his return to England after the second expedition he began to write this four-volume work of natural history, first published between 1829 and 1837. A volume is dedicated to each of the classes of mammal, bird, fish and insect, which are found in the Canadian Arctic. This work is an interesting example of pre-Darwinian natural history, full of detailed descriptions of the appearance, anatomy and behaviour of the different species. Volume 2 was first published in 1831 and focuses on the species of birds found in the Canadian Arctic. It was co-authored with naturalist and illustrator William Swainson (1789 1855) and contains many illustrations.

First edition. Inscribed by the author to John McDiarmid. 4to. Publisher's original grey paper-covered boards with printed paper title label to the spine. Page edges untrimmed. Illustrated with 28 black and white etched plates. An excellent near fine copy, the binding square and tight with minor cracking to the head of the joints and a little wear to the extremities. The contents, with a previous owner's (early twentieth century) bookplate to the front pastedown, light offsetting from the plates to the facing text pages and faint spotting to the edges of the plates, are otherwise wonderfully clean and bright throughout. The plates themselves remain bold and fresh. A superb copy, entirely in its original state. Inscribed by John Richardson in black ink to the half title page "To John McDiarmid Esq. / from his friend The Author". The first part this monumental work on the natural history of the Arctic by Sir John Richardson (1787-1865), the Scottish doctor, naturalist and Arctic explorer who served on Sir John Franklin's Arctic expeditions of 1819-22 and 1825-27 as ship's doctor and naturalist. Whilst in the Canadian Arctic as part of Franklin's overland expeditions, Richardson recorded his extensive observations and collected a large number of plant and animal specimens. On his return to England, following the second expedition, he began, with assistance from the naturalists William Swainson and William Kirby, to write his four-volume work of natural history, first published as individual volumes between 1829 and 1837. This present volume, dedicated to mammals, was the first to appear, with a second volume (concerning birds) published in 1831, followed by subsequent volumes on fish and insects, all superbly illustrated by Thomas Landseer. A key member of Franklin's team, Richardson aided in the mapping of a substantial area of the Canadian Arctic, in addition to making one of the most significant contributions to the understanding of the natural history of the region. Notably, following the infamous disappearance of Franklin's doomed 1845 Arctic expedition, Richardson also later travelled alongside John Rae in 1848-9 in search of his lost comrades on one of the subsequent (unsuccessful) rescue missions. The recipient of the present volume is most likely John McDiarmid (1790-1852), the influential Scottish journalist and author, popular in contemporary Scottish literary circles, who came from Richardson's hometown of Dumfries and was only three years his junior.

3pp., large 8vo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged and worn. Headed 'Original'. Docketed on reverse of second leaf: 'May 1835 | £75. 7. 5. | Richardson a/c for Sir James Harington decd | paid | paid additional balance - £1. 16 -'. The ninth baronet died in 1835, the tenth baronet assuming the title at the age of fourteen. The present document was evidently produced to clear the old account. It contains numerous items, dated between 10 January 1834 and 8 December 1835. The first item on the list is 'The Baboo 2 Vols post 8vo 1/2 russ', and while books do feature, the larger part of the items relate to financial transactions - mainly carriage and shipping charges, including some for other individuals including the Duke of Northampton ('Insurance & policy on 3 Parcels'), the Duke of Buccleugh ('Insurance & policy on 2 Parcels') and 'Roxburgh Castle' ('Insurance & policy on 1 Parcel', as well as 'Insurance & policy on 1 Parcel p Mary Somerville', and a similar amount for 'Ab Robinson'. The list has been divided into named sections, presumably by Harington, including: 'Asia', 'Orwell', 'M. A. Webb', 'Cordelia', 'Fatima', 'London', Hindostan', 'True Briton'. The list ends (8 December 1835) with 'To Cash paid Mr Williams, Hatter, 1 Hat supplied July 15/1835 p account', £1 16s 0d; followed by credit to the account, on 10 October 1835, 'By Cash of - Balfour Esq', £75 7s 5d; and on 8 December 1835, '[By] overcharge on 2 Hats supplied by W Williams, Bond St | Received Decr. 23 1835 of the Executor of the late Sir J Harington the sum of One pound Sixteen Shillings being the balance of the account | p Jno Richardson | J Webb'. BBTI only has Richardson listed for the year 1846, describing his additional business as 'Financial services (stockbroker)' and 'East India agent'.

Seven items, all in very good condition on lightly-aged paper. Trevelyan's idiosyncratic and hypochondriacal character comes through strongly in this correspondence, ostensibly concerned with his application to become a magistrate, but largely devoted to the state of his health. ONE and TWO. Manuscript copies of short letters from Trevelyan to Thorp and the Duke of Northumberland. Both dated 22 October 1832, and both 4to, 1 p. Requesting 'a "Dedimus", as a commencing Magistrate'. THREE. Manuscript copy of letter from Trevelyan to Thorp. 23 October 1832; Netherwitton, Morpeth. 4to, 1 p. He is 'happy to say that we are of the one & same political opinion & feeling. I should therefore as a Magistrate confine my official co-operations to & with those who are of such opinion & feeling (for instance Sir C. Moule & Mr. Brandling)'. He could not co-operate with his 'adjoining, not neighbour, magistrate, Mr. Orde', for 'reasons too public, also in consequence of divers acts of domestic injustice & injuries done to me'. He discusses his application to become a magistrate ('I will endeavour to do my impartial best') and his health concerns. At the foot of the letter is the text of an intended newspaper 'Advertisement' Trevelyan would place if appointed a magistrate. FOUR. Manuscript copy of letter from Trevelyan to Thorp. 26 October 1832. 4to, 1 p. He feels 'the full force' of Trevelyan's 'liberal & friendly' letter. '[N]othing but the hostility of one neighbour & the lenient incapacity of another, wd. have induced me to act as a Magistrate to extirpate the offending source of Vagrants, Poachers, & our truly too local breakers of Peace & Houses'. Discusses at length his health, which was 'only hurt [.] very laboriously when a pupil of Richardson [Sir John Richardson (1771-1841)] by excessive privation of sleep; for often during day attg. his Office I had the evening loan (from pupils) of both Judge Dampiers & Baileys (then Counsel) MSS'. His friend the celebrated surgeon John Abernethy (1764-1831) told him 'the only cure was walking (not santering) & sudorific exercise, which with rising every morning at five when "special Drudger" in Chamber & by going to bed by 9 kept off every gouty or Spasmodic attack'. 'Abernethy's admonitory & Gymnastic diet' has repelled further attacks since he took up residence at Netherwitton. In a postscript informs Thorp that a legal friend has advised him not to be a magistrate until 'the expected change to be & better Ministers', and asks for the return of his letters. FIVE. Autograph Letter Signed from Trevelyan to Thorp. 31 October 1832. 4to, 2 pp. Thirty-three lines, closely and neatly written. Bifolium, addressed by Trevelyan on second leaf, with his broken wax seal and Morpeth postmark. He is sorry Thorp is 'indisposed by Asthma', and offers 'any thing [.] in the shape of game [.] Wd. you like a moor hare?' Since seeing the 'Duke [of Northumberland]' he has 'been only once to those moors where he so kindly allowed me to shoot', as his writing for the 'Journal' has 'pinn'd' him at home. As he is a member of the Pitt family he is signing his contributions 'with the component letters' P, I, T, T, on analogy with Addison's signing his Spectator essays 'CLIO'. He is sorry that his name was put to one of his essays by ''s foreman': 'it is as well to repudiate every still born or ugly bastard; & never to acknowledge a composition unless approved'. He is 'up every morning with the sun', and 'Yesterday I was three times wet through'; & when returned I bathed in cold water; & was wiped down (like a racer)'. He is 'really afraid of hereditary gout', which, when he had it at the age of fifteen, 'made the toes & fingers feel as inflicted by scalding water'. Describes his 'medicine' to combat the gout (broiled meat or game; porter or ale). He avoids 'the penetrating stupidity of late hours', and is 'up by 5, winter or summer'. He finds 'no poison so bad as the episcopal dinners, & licensed wines in entertainments on the circuit, in the hosts, this may be accomted [sic] for each like the advice of supererogation from old women'. Ends with a Latin tag, which he hopes is not 'colloquially intrusive'. 'The carrier is going. Excuse my haste, & a bad pen.' SIX. Autograph signed corrected draft of Thorp's reply to Item Five. 3 November 1832. 4to, 1 p. Discusses his own diet, and declines Trevelyan's offer, 'as several of my friends are kind in sending me Game, I beg you will not rob yourself or your other friends by bestowing it upon me, unless when you have a great superabundance to spare'. He does not 'read much in the newspapers', but will look out for Trevelyan's contribution. Ends with the observation 'what is hereditary is not easily prevented'. SEVEN. Manuscript copy of 'Blank check [dated 23 October 1832] sent me by Mr. R. Trevelyan & which I retd to him 25th.'.

See the entries for Cooper (born Arthur William Douglas Cooper) and Richardson in the Oxford DNB. From the papers of the recipient, Philip Dosse, who was proprietor of Hansom Books, publisher of a stable of seven arts magazines including Art and Artists and Books and Bookmen. See Death of a Bookman by the novelist Sally Emerson (editor of Books and Bookmen at the time of Dosse s suicide), in Standpoint magazine, October 2018. 2pp, 8vo, on a single leaf of air mail paper. Forty-six lines of text. Somewhat worn and creased, but in fair condition overall. Signed D C and addressed to DEAR PHILIP . After discussing a publicity photograph, he writes: You sound depressed. I dare not let my feelings go so far because I might never bounce back. I m depressed because it is wet and cold whereas it should be hot, hot and hotter. Am just back from a 4 day run around in Burgundy with two American friends. We saw chateaux, ate excellently and drank our fill. It was full of laughter and bonhomie. That was a change. He reports that he will be spending two days in Venice, where I have to look at the Binnale and record a critical piece for the Italian TV. They pay me for the honor of giving me a 5 day holiday so why should I argue. He will then travel to Menton for a week as a juror at their biennale. He longs for hot weather so he can bathe: It is difficult and dangerous to be southern. He discusses reviews he has written for Art and Artists . He has been in touch with the theatre historian Richard Buckle about the Theatre Museum : But why oh why oh why MUST it take 79 years in England to get started something that in any other country would take 79 days? That s the inertia that I have deliberately left behind. Dosse s political forecasts are of the utmost pessimism. [.] The trouble in Ulster is much more bound up with the parrot-cry of King and Country than with religious differences. Which is why Mr William Hamilton is my hero, and which is why I have no hesitation in saying that the monarchy must be dethroned. He feels that William Whitelaw, just appointed Home Secretary in Thatcher s first government, can only fail , and that Ulster is the Rhodesia of the north. They should give Ulster one week s notice that the British are going to take ship and disappear for ever, cutting off all finance, soldiers etc. And they should go, leaving a vacuum, to be filled by Dublin. If only the IRA would put bombs in Buckingham and Windsor we would all be better off, for there would be immediately a republican rising. And I might play J of Arc. In the final paragraph he describes Lord Goodman as VERY ugly. He may change his ill-fitting clothes, and appear under different names, but the play s always a bad one and his acting as ham as can be. His only truth is as a canny jewish family solicitor. I find it fascinating that the man who prevented the Prime Minister s divorce on the day he took office should be rewarded with the kingdom of culture and the secret diplomacy. What world are we in? .
