B/w photographs, illustrations by Charles Jardine. Green boards, spine titled in gilt. Spotting to top edge. Good-plus in slightly spine-faded dust-wrapper. First published in 1957 under the title 'Dry-Fly Beginnings'. "Dermot Wilson was the leading authority in the UK on dry fly fishing, particularly in the chalk streams. The poet Ted Hughes wrote of Wilson's book Fishing the Dry Fly: "Wherever I open it my eye alights on a paragraph that is delightful to read, and that leads on irresistibly to the next paragraph that is equally delightful and that leads on irresistibly . . . etc etc." In 1968 he set up a mail-order tackle business, the first of its kind, at Nether Wallop, Hampshire, supplying a full range of fly-fishing tackle. It gave an extraordinarily good service. If you ordered flies from Dermot Wilson, they arrived in the post next day. The company grew to employ a staff of 14, many of them friends from his Greenjacket days. In 1981, ill-health caused him to give up, and the business was sold to the US company Orvis, who still run it successfully. Wilson was for some years Chairman of the Anglers Co-operative Association, which combats pollution of the rivers. He set up the Water Resources Board of the Salmon and Trout Association. He wrote for Country Life and the Field and was a popular lecturer at fishing gatherings." (From Sidney Vines' obituary of Wilson in the Independent newspaper).

Suakin, a key trade and Hajj port on the Sudanese Red Sea coast, was at this time a strategic location in the Mahdist War. Dated 15 October 1887 to Moore's Introduction, this coincides with military operations in the region, with Suakin itself coming under Mahdist attack on 20 December. Watson (1844-1916) had served under Gordon in Sudan during 1874-5, and participated in the survey of the White Nile. He performed special intelligence duties in the Anglo-Egyptian War (1882), then appointed as Governor General of the Red Sea Littoral while much of Sudan was under Dervish control. He handed over to Kitchener in 1886, who was based at Suakin during 1886-8. Wilson compiled this work from R.N. Cust's vocabulary, with Khalifah Safwah and Khalifah Abdullah assisting on the Beni-Amer, and Idris Effendi on the Hadendoa, the latter a Madhi supporting nomadic sub-division of the Beja. The whole was revised by Marcopoli Bey. The vocabulary is presented in 7 columns (one for English, and 2 each for Arabic, Hadendowa and Beni-Amer in Latin and original scripts), and includes some short phrases. Scarce. (Ref.

Londres et Bruxelles, chez Emmanuel Flon, 1781. In-8° de (6), 250 pages, 1 table et 6 planches dépliantes hors-texte numérotées et gravées sur cuivre; veau marbré de l'époque (quelques épidermures sur les plats), dos à cinq nerfs, caissons à fleurons dorés, pièce de titre havane (mors fendus, coins émoussés, manque à la coiffe). Première édition française. Ouvrage traduit par l'abbé Jean Needham Tuberville (une note manuscrite collée à la page de titre l'identifie précisément comme un «savant anglais connu pour ses observations microscopiques» et renvoie vers le Dictionnaire des ouvrages anonymes d'Antoine-Alexandre Barbier, Paris, 1875, tome III qui mentionne sa Parodie de la troisième lettre du proposant, adressée à un philosophe s.l.n.d.). Homme d'état et scientifique anglais formé en Suisse par le physicien Georges-Louis Le Sage, le troisième comte Stanhope fait de l'électricité sa spécialité avec la parution de cet ouvrage en 1779. Il y expose sa théorie du return stroke ou lateral shock («coup de retour») qui lui permet de détailler les effets du contact de la foudre avec le sol à travers 71 expériences. Il y décrit les appareils qui lui permettent de mesurer les décharges électriques, leur déroulement et leurs effets les unes par rapport aux autres. Ses conclusions seront enrichies dans un autre texte qu'il écrit en 1787 dans les Transactions philosophiques de la Société royale de Londres dont il est membre depuis 1772. Il est l'un des théoriciens à l'origine du paratonnerre comme on peut le lire à la fin de la dix-neuvième partie: «Je n'ai jamais vu d'exemple, et je crois même que personne ne pourrait m'en citer, d'un coup de tonnerre explosif déchargé sur un conducteur métallique bien élevé, très aigu et parfaitement conique, construit et placé avec toutes les dispositions requises que je viens de détailler » (P.204). Parmi ses contemporains anglais sur la question, on peut citer Edward Nairne (1726-1806) et Benjamin Wilson (1721-1788) avec les théories duquel il exprimera fermement son désaccord: « Si le lecteur connaît les disputes qui se sont élevées en Angleterre sur la forme des conducteurs, il s'étonnera peut-être de ce que je n'ai fait aucune mention des expériences électriques de Mr. Wilson relatives à cet objet. Mais, comme je compte donner bientôt au public une réfutation positive des conclusions qu'on en a tirées, je n'ai pas cru devoir confondre une exposition de faits nouveaux et importants avec cette réfutation de principes qui mériteraient certainement bien peu de considération sans les doutes qu'ils ont fait naître dans l'esprit de quelques personnes » (Préface citée par : Brunet Pierre. Les origines du paratonnerre. (Discussions et réalisations). In: Revue d'histoire des sciences et de leurs applications, tome 1, n°3, 1948. pp. 213-253.).…
