Wrappers a little fishmothed and soiled; vertical crease to upper cover. Good condition. "Transkei has one of the most beautiful stretches of coast along the entire South African seaboard. Fish and shellfish are abundant and many visitors and tourists are attracted to teh coast by the ready availability of luxury seafoods such as oysters, mussels, rock lobsters, abalone and fresh linefish. At the same time, shellfish resources such as mussels, oysters and limpets have been harvested for personal consumption by the indigenous people for thousands of years. Exploitation of the marine resources by local inhabitants and, more recently, by entrepreneurs, has increased in recent times because of a growing awareness of the monetary value of these resources. . A preliminary quantitative estimate of the extent of the coastal resources and the levels of past and present exploitation was therefore necessary. The aim of this report is to provide this information.".…

"A hunting we will go" Henry Fielding (17071754) THE DUSKY night rides down the sky, And ushers in the morn: The hounds all join in glorious cry, The huntsman winds his horn, And a hunting we will go. 5 The wife around her husband throws Her arms to make him stay; "My dear, it rains, it hails, it blows; You cannot hunt to-day." Yet a hunting we will go. 10 Away they fly to 'scape the rout, Their steeds they soundly switch; Some are thrown in, and some thrown out, And some thrown in the ditch. Yet a hunting we will go. 15 Sly Reynard now like lightning flies, And sweeps across the vale; And when the hounds too near he spies, He drops his bushy tail. Then a hunting we will go. 20 Fond Echo seems to like the sport, And join the jovial cry; The woods, the hills, the sound retort, And music fills the sky, When a hunting we do go. 25 At last his strength to faintness worn, Poor Reynard ceases flight; Then hungry, homeward we return, To feast away the night, And a drinking we do go. 30 Ye jovial hunters, in the morn Prepare then for the chase; Rise at the sounding of the horn And health with sport embrace, When a hunting we do go. 35 Size: 9.5 x 8.5 Inches.

Amsterdam 1981. 195 pp. With 26 figs. Wrappers. (diss.).

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. 8vo. pp xvi, 382. Original publisher's reddish purple cloth, bright gilt-blocked device to front cover; bright gilt lettering to spine. Spine ends a little bumped. With tissue-guarded photogravure plate and 46 illustrations. With pencil annotations, and ownership label of J. Paul de Castro (1874-1944) laid on to front pastedown. De Castro was a prominent Henry Fielding scholar, author, and expert on the 18th century including its coffee houses. The connection between this book and Fielding is that Fielding was greatly influenced by 'The Beggar's Opera', and wrote ten ballad operas inspired by it. The scholarly marginal notes in pencil, including references to Fielding and to coffee houses, are very probably by de Castro, as are the pencil notes in the same hand on the ffep (opposite his ownership label), on the verso of ffep, and on the rear fep. Laid on to the rear pastedown (opening out to show all three printed sides) is an original 1920s progamme for John Gay's 'The Beggar's Opera'. This is for the 1920-22 revival at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith. The inscription on the ffep refers to the play. The revival of the 1728 ballad opera at Hammersmith was one of the greatest theatrical successes of the 1920s: a contemporary newspaper cutting with a first night review is loosely inserted. A few slight marks to covers. A pleasing copy and VG. Very good.…
