See Nicolas Barker's typically-elegant obituary of Williamson in the Independent. 2pp, 4to. The obituary of the recipient Andrew Block (1892-1987) in 'The Private Library' was subtitled 'the doyen of booksellers'; his business was established in 1911. On aged and worn paper; folded three times. Signed 'Hugh Williamson:' and addressed to 'Mr Block'. Thirty-one lines in a close, calligraphic hand. Having been 'particularly lucky' every time he has called on Block, and having acquired 'the 12mo Baskerville, the Pickering in Caslon's types and the plays printed by John Bell' on his last visit, he asks him to 'keep an eye open for one or two cheap items'. Before giving a list of books he 'particularly' needs, from the Aldine Press to Baskerville, he describes his interest 'in the development of roman and italic types, which means that most of the books I need were printed before the end of the 18th century. On the other hand, I can't really afford even a guinea for a book unless it's the kind of thing I could sell again for as much as I gave, in case of need. The result is that I'm willing to put up with bad condition in the binding, missing plates and text pages etc which might put off the "proper" collector.'. …

At the time of its inception in 1886, Cosmopolitan Magazine aimed to offer women articles on life in the home, but began publishing new fiction works in the early 1900s. Notable contributors included Jack London, as seen in this volume, as well as Upton Sinclair, Sinclair Lewis, and Kurt Vonnegut. Short stories would be published in their entireties, and longer pieces would be expanded across multiple issues to keep readers interested in upcoming publications.

Scaramuccia tra le truppe piedmontesi ed austriache in un cascinale nei pressi del fiume Sesia.

An interesting item, providing a sidelight into the process of Victorian scholarly editing and publication. Fitchew's letter is 2pp, 4to, on the outer pages of a bifolium; the inner pages being filled with notes (citations?) in a minuscule hand, possibly the recipient's. In good condition, lightly aged and worn, and folded for postage. Addressed to 'H. W. Wilson' and signed 'E. H. Fitchew'. The letter begins: 'Dear Mr. Wilson / I think it is possible we may want a little more letterpress, but probably not much. Up to end of pt. 7 we have used 82 slips. I suppose deletion & added matter about balance each other, & we may therefore reckon remainder of book on the same basis. We have 27 slips, which should fill about 56 pp.' He continues in the same vein, discussing preface and index. Ends with discussion of question, 'Would you prefer to add to Chap. IX or only to Chap X?' There is some annotation in the second hand to the left of Fitchew's signature, and beneath it an illegible note in blue pencil. The book in question is 'Nelson and His Times' by Rear-Admiral Lord Charles Beresford and H. W. Wilson, 'With many illustrations mostly from contemporary sketches, selected, arranged, and annotated by Edward H. Fitchew', which was printed by Her Majesty's Printers Eyre & Spottiswoode, and published by Harmsworth Brothers Ltd in 1898. See image of additional annotation presumed by Wilson.…

Frontier during first/ Sikh War killed at/ Ferozeshah" to title page. Contemporary manuscript notes to margins of several pages. A good copy of a scarce title. $750. * The first Western printing of this exceptionally scarce and searing insider expose of systemic corruption, bribery, and administrative abuse within the local mofussil (provincial) courts of British India under East India Company rule. The work is a satirical, first-person administrative expose heavily rooted in real-world colonial court mechanics. It is widely studied by legal historians as a seminal, bottom-up critique of East India Company governance. First published at the Recorder Press in Benares in 1848, that initial regional imprint remains virtually unobtainable on the market. This London issue served as the primary vehicle introducing Western audiences to the dark, bureaucratic realities of the colonial judiciary. While contemporary readers debated its authenticity, modern scholarship has resolved the mystery of its authorship, attributing the pseudonym "Panchkouree Khan" (translating loosely to "Five Cowries") to George Wyatt, an Anglo-Indian deputy collector and magistrate stationed in Benares from 1841 to 1853. Consequently, the work occupies a unique place in colonial literature, navigating the fractured identity of a mixed-race civil servant writing under a native persona to critique both colonial governance and native complicity.
