ALL UK PARCELS SENT TRACKED! ALL OVERSEAS PARCELS SENT AIRMAIL, TRACKED! (S/hand, Hardcover, 1904). ND (c. 1904) 1st edition. 12mo (110 x 176mm). Ppx,141 + 3pp ads. Illustrated with a frontispiece photograph and 36 illustrations from engravings. Binding A. Red cloth, titled in gilt on spine & upper board, blind-stamped decoratio…n on upper board. Cloth, especially fore-edge, quite stained & faded, spine faded, internally clean. A good copy. Volume Three in the publisher's "How to Buy" series, following on from How to Buy a Camera, 1902, and How to Buy a Gun, 1903. "This volume, like its immediate predecessor in the series, treats only of the cost of outfit, of the prices of tackle, and of such artificial baits as may logically be considered under the head of tackle. It goes a little further, it is true; for it tells not only what price to give, but also how to buy, thus following the rubric of the series. .The moral of most of this advice will be found to be that the most expensive is the cheapest in the long run." Contents include:- Part I: Game fish; Salmon and trout; Part II: Coarse fish; Preliminary remarks; General tackle; Tackle for the various coarse fish; Part III: Sea fish; Tackle for sea fish. No date of publication is given however various book adverts are included such as several volumes of The Country Life Library of Sport including Cricket (1903), Shooting (1903), Fishing [In preparation] (1904), and Big Game Shooting [In preparation] (1904). .

Both items excessively scarce, with the only copies traced on OCLC WorldCat and COPAC at the British Library. The leaves of both have been separated, but comparison with other copies confirms that they are both complete, and otherwise in good condition, with slight wear, and the two leaves of the second item laid down on a piece… of paper. ONE: By 'J. M. G.' Title-page: 'The Old Oaken Chair: | Addressed to | Different Members of his Family. | By J. M. G.' 8pp., 12mo. A neat production, originally on two bifoliums. Gutch's name completed in pencil on title-page, with note: 'Only 12 printed'. Prefatory note: 'WRITTEN in my 76th year, upon receiving from my Brother, GEORGE GUTCH, an OAKEN CHAIR, as a companion to a curiously carved LIBRARY TABLE he had previously sent me.' The poem, in blank verse, covers pp.5-8, and begins: 'OLD OAKEN CHAIR! I love thy antique form, | Thou bring'st to my remembrance the review | Of by-gone days and scenes; - the love I bear | To him, who sent another gift to suit | This room, the shelves of which contain | Volumes of early lore, of poetry divine; | Of that which helps to meditation, | And recalls the mind from earth to heav'n.' The poem refers to the loss of a parent (his wife?), 'kind Mary Anne'. The latter part of the poem concerns the travels in the Aegean of his son J. W. G. Gutch, with six footnotes, the first two reading: 'My son, a Queen's Foreign Messenger, was at this period sent with despatches to Sir William Parker and Mr. Wyse, respecting the settlement of the affairs of Greece.' and 'After delivering the despatches, he was permitted to land at Athens, and had sufficient time and opportunity to visit the celebrated classical scenes which surround the city.' TWO (by 'H. B. T.)': Title-page: 'The Old Oaken Chair. | Dedcated | (without permission) | to | Mrs. Gutch.' 2pp., 12mo. Originally a bifolium, with title-page on recto of the first leaf and poem on the recto of the second. Uniform in design with Item One. Poem dated at end: 'H. B. T. | Worcester, | 7th October, 1850.' Twelve-line poem in three four-line stanzas: 'FULL many chairs on dais placed, | Have held both knaves and fools; | Some who their Country's cause betrayed, | Some who were party's tools. | But here's an honest chair of oak, | Which holds an honest man; | Whose life will bear the scrutiny | Of Honour's closest scan. | Dear Madam, let me breathe a wish, | (As you will breathe a prayer,) | That years may pass ere you shall sigh, | "Ah! there's the VACANT CHAIR!"'.
