Hardbound. Zustand: As New. New. Genetics is the area of biological study concerned with heredity and with the variations between organisms that result from it. It demands an understanding of numerous terms such as DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) a molecule in all cells that contains blueprints for genetic inheritance genes units of information about particular heritable traits which are made from DNA and chromosomes DNA containing bodies located in the cells of most living things that hold most of the organism's genes. The vocabulary of genetics goes far beyond these three terms as we shall see but these are the core concepts. Among the areas in which genetics is applied is forensic sciences or the application of science to matters of law specifically through DNA fingerprinting whereby samples of skin blood semen and other materials can be used to prove or disprove a suspect's innocence. Another fascinating application of genetics is the human genome project an effort whose goals include the location and identification of every gene in the human body. This dictionary includes a vast range of terms and concepts dealing with biochemistry cell and developmental biology immunology hereditary diseases and molecular evolution as well as advances in genomics and proteomics. 272 pp.…

Zustand: Very Good. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original black cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back. 8vo. 9'' x 6''. Demonised by some but highly respected by others, Osman Digna was a Mahdist leader who remained a thorn in the side of the British in Sudan for almost two decades during the late Victorian period. He was, perhaps, the ablest commander of the Ansar, the Mahdist army, who, despite numerous defeats, refused to give up the jihad against the Anglo-Egyptian authorities. Although largely forgotten in the West today, he is remembered as a hero by many in Sudan. Contains frontispiece, (xxiv), 232 pp with a folding map and a folding pedigree. Foxing to the end papers and closed text block edges, spine slightly sun faded and in Very Good condition, no dust wrapper. Member of the P.B.F.A. NORTH AFRICA [Sudan].…

1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged. Folded twice. The recipient is not named, but the item derives from the papers of James Payn, the editor of the Cornhill Magazine, London. Gallenga begins: 'My dear Sir. | The last time I saw you - it may be 20 years ago - you were leaving London to write for Chambers in Edinburgh. I see the Journal now and then, and I often fancy I detected you.' He is 'almost sure' that Payn wrote 'the article quoting Miss Mitford's letters' and challenges him: 'If I am right, say so.' He continues: 'And if you ever are in London, let me see you, here at the Athenaeum, at my house, or wherever you like. We need all of us, at times, to see old friends. Since I saw you I have got on well in the world.' In 1854, through Cavour's influence, Gallenga had been elected a deputy to the Italian parliament, retaining his seat until 1864. He passed the summer in England and fulfilled his parliamentary duties at Turin in the winter. His employment as a Times correspondent begain during the Austro-Sardinian War of 1859, and continued for twenty years. In 1876, along with Edwin Pears, he was the first to reveal to the British public the Turkish atrocities in Bulgaria.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. Small folio. Engraved allegorical title signed 'C. G. Amling' + [6] + 39 pages text + 14 folding engraved plates with 68 illustrations. Typographical ornaments. Contemporary half vellum. Enlarged edition, corrected by the author (first published 1664), of this influential German treatise on late baroque military architecture by the Bavarian engineer Heidemann, a follower of Daniel Speckle (1536-89) of Strassburg, one of the first exponents of modern fortification. Heidemann still considered the use of orillons for the protection of the flanks of bastions as essential, a method largely abandoned by that time under the influence of the Dutch systems of fortification. A re-interpretation of his theories was offered by Sturm in his Architectura Militaris hypoth.-eclectico (1702). The beautiful allegorical title by the Bavarian court engraver Carl Gustav von Amling (1651-1702) incorporates a view of Munich in the background. A very fresh copy of this handsome book printed on good quality paper. Jähns 1343; Jordan 1636.…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. 2pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, on aged and worn paper, with rusting from a paperclip to both leaves. Addressed to 'Mr Texeira [sic] de Mattos' and signed 'S John E. C. Hankin'. He thanks him for the cheque and is sorry to hear that the recipient's 'great project has come to nought - at least for the moment'. He expects that de Mattos saw 'the Bankruptcy of the New Saturday duly chronicled? You were a true prophet. I gather it will pay nothing in the £'. The New Saturday was a short-lived newspaper, going to the wall after a few issues in 1897.…

See his entry in the Oxford DNB. Stuart was at the time actor-manager of the Adelphi Theatre, London. Both items in good condition, lightly aged, and folded for postage. ONE: 3pp, 12mo (the third page carrying a postscript written lengthwise). Bifolium. Begins: 'Dear Sir / I have a new play which I should like to read to you if you would care to hear it. It is not suited to a big house & stage like the Adelphi but if you are likely to put anything up a smaller house (as in the case of Peter's Mother) it might be worth your while to consider it.' He explains that the play contains a 'big part' for Ellen Terry's sister Marion Terry (1852-1930), who would be 'almost indispensable' for the play's 'satisfactory presentation'. He gives a day when he will be in London, before going 'North to look after rehearsals of The Return of the Prodigal'. Alternatively, he will be lunching at the Savile Club the following day, 'if you care to ring me up on the telephone'. The play in question is presumably 'The Cassilis Engagement', which was produced at the Imperial Theatre, London, from 10 February 1907. The part of Mrs Cassilis was not taken by Marion Terry, but by Evelyn Weeden. TWO: 1p, 12mo. Written a little over a year before he killed himself in a fit of depression (Bernard Shaw described his death as 'a public calamity'), in similar fashion to Virginia Woolf. Addressed to 'Otho Stuart Esq.' and signed 'St John Hankin'. Reads: 'You have, I think, the script of a play of mine The Two Mr Wetherbys. If you have finished with it will you be good enough to return it to me here?'.…

Dillon's entry in the Oxford DNB states that on 6 March 1889 he 'sailed for Australia to solicit contributions; he also toured New Zealand, and returned to Ireland via the United States in late April 1890. His mission raised about £33,000'. 3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. Addressed to 'My dear Miss Meredith' and signed 'Yours very Sincerely / John Dillon'. In fair condition, lightly aged, with very light transfer of ink from another letter (from blotting pad?) onto third leaf, including signature. Folded for postage. In reply to a letter he states that he would 'certainly go down' to see her if he were 'in London during the spring - but I hope to sail to Australia on the 1st March & expect to be away till the end of September'. He asks to be remembered to her father, whose name Dillon saw 'on the Protest Committee with very great pleasure', and whom he hopes 'is gaining strength'. He is glad they all 'thought the photograph a good one'. From the Meredith album. From an album of letters received by the novelist George Meredith and his daughter Marie Eveleen (Mariette; 1871-1933). …

Zustand: Very Good. FASCINATING MEDIEVAL BOOK OF HOURS WITH EXTENSIVE ILLUMINATIONS BY THREE DIFFERENT ARTISTS. In Latin and some French, illuminated manuscript on parchment, Southern Netherlands, Mons, c. 1460 (original portion), c. 1480-1490 (updated). Dimensions 167 x 116 mm., 199 folios, lacking one text leaf, written by two different scribes in gothic textualis bookhand in single column on 17 lines; BINDING: seventeenth century brown calf over wooden boards, spine with four raised bands, gold-tooled, gilt title ("OFFICIU / BEATEM / VIRGIN", partly worn out), gilt edges. ILLUSTRATION: 22 full-page miniatures within full rinceaux borders by the Mildmay Master (13), the Master of Philippe de Croÿ (7), and a third Mons illuminator, follower of Simon Marmion (2), and 4 small miniatures by the Mildmay Master, additional sixteen full rinceaux borders, and 5-line initials in pink or blue on burnished gold grounds. The Mildmay Master was responsible for the core of the original manuscript; the artist paints elongated figures with small heads and slender bodies, mostly situated on pale yellow tiled grounds. His outdoor landscapes are cursory. Unusual here are his delicate acanthus and floral borders sprinkled with fanciful grotesques. The artist responsible for updating the manuscript is the Philippe de Croÿ Master. He favors tiled floors in brown or gray and white, with a generally somber, almost grisaille palette, with blue and white, grey, and a burnt brownish orange. A third painter, a follower of Simon Marmion, intervened during this second campaign. The most skilled of the three illuminators, his delicate figures are well-modeled, with tiny hands and individualized faces. PROVENANCE: The manuscript was made in Southern Netherlands probably in two different stages. The core of the Hours and the calendar were written in Mons for an unknown patron, c. 1460. Then, around 1480, the manuscript was updated, also in Mons, for a couple represented in prayer in the manuscript: Jean Antoine de Mahieu, Lord of Bosqueau, and his wife, Jacqueline de Sivry, Lady of Buath; belonged to Jean-Baptiste-Florentin Gabriel de Meyran, marquis de Lagoy (1764-1829); inside front cover: "Jean Fra(n)sois de Lescluse demeurant a Frasne." CONDITION: ink stain in the margin of f. 1, water stains in lower margins of first 32 leaves, colors slightly faded on marginal decoration f. 120v, stain in the marginal decoration f. 77v, other minor signs of use, otherwise in very good condition. Binding condition: leather very rubbed, gold tooling worn, front cover almost detached, hinges of the back cover fragile. Full description and images available. (BOH 217).…

Zustand: Very good. Graphite, ink wash and watercolor on handmade laid paper with a large, indistinguishable ovoid watermark with a bunch of grapes, 8 7/16 x 12 5/8 inches (225 x 320 mm), signed in brown ink in the lower left. With the Henry Scipio Reitlinger oval stamp in brown ink on the verso (Lugt 2274a). The condition of the image and paper is consistent with age, there is minor toning on the recto and some attenuation of the green pigment. The drawing is laid down to an 18th century laid paper support and has a small pencil notation in the lower right corner (modern), and scattered notations in pencil on the verso of the support (also modern, perhaps auction/accession notes). On the paper support is an ink drawing in red and black of what appears to be the floor plan for the wing of a large building. The drawing is top-up, adhered facing the verso of the drawing. The architectural drawing on the support is visible through to the recto of the composition when the sheets are viewed through raking light. There is a small area of stipple point spotting in brown ink on the verso of the support. Examination under black light shows no indication of repairs or additions, expert or otherwise. Provenance: Henry Scipio Reitlinger was born in either 1882 or 1885, attended Kings College, Cambridge, and later in Frieberg, Germany, where his studies focused on mining engineering. After his graduation Reitlinger traveled to Africa and made a fortune as the director of the Naraguta Tin Mine in Nigeria. He enjoyed an early retirement from the mining industry, and turned his focus completely to his passion for art scholarship and collecting. He formed important collections of Old Master paintings and drawings, Asian art, porcelain, and English and Continental antiquities. He also penned two notable books, "A Selection of Drawings by Old Masters in the Museum Collections with a Catalogue and Notes" (Victoria and Albert Museum, London, 1921, and "Old Master Drawings; a handbook for amateurs and collectors" (Constable & Co. Ltd., London, 1922). Reitlinger intended to open a public museum showcasing his vast private collections, but he didn't live long enough to see it to fruition. After his death in 1950, the newly formed Henry Reitlinger Trust did succeed in opening the Reitlinger Bequest Museum, which operated in Maidenhead between 1951 and 1987. After the museum's closure, the objects were transferred to the Fitzwilliam Museum at Cambridge University in 1991, where they are housed today. Reitlinger's remaining personal collections were auctioned at Sotheby's after his death, with one sale occurring in 1953 and six subsequent sales which all took place in 1954. Henry Reitlinger was the older brother of celebrated British art historian, collector, and author Gerald Reitlinger.…
