Paperback. c1950.

ff. 20. 6 colour-printed illustrations. Coloured paper boards, book block stapled onto the back but staples now rusted and the block loose, occasional foxing, a bit of rubbing, the glazed paper of the boards coming a little loose at the lower edges, overall still a good copy. *COPAC gives Cambridge only. The front paste-down offers 'Practical Hints as to how to Use the Palette and Colours'. The Palette is here present, a book-shaped card with thumb-hole, glazed to one side for the paints, a few splodges of which are still seen. The Paint Box, a black enamel tinned container with its full complement of 12 blocks of paint, is contained within a cut out at the top of the book block, c.4 x 2.5 inches.

From the papers of Sylvia and Robert Lynd. Four copies traced: National Library of Ireland, Trinity College Dublin, the British Library and Oxford University. BL identifies the author as 'Thomas T. Shaw'; another source states 'Thomas J. Shaw'. 47pp, 8vo. In green printed wraps. Stapled. Lightly aged, in worn wraps, and with slight blooming at head of first few leaves. The author goes about the 'self-imposed task' of his 'little brochure' with copious statistical evidence, including an eight-page appendix of tables. He concludes: 'As I have worked unaided and unassisted I may have made mistakes, but I have felt impelled to publish this little work in my country's interest as, after an examination of the various returns, I felt quite sure that the basis on which the Treasury calculations relating to Ireland were being made in many respects were not prepared in a manner to attribute to Ireland the revenue really and properly attributable to it.' There is a discussion of 'home-made spirits', and it may be that the author is the Thomas James Shaw, 'managing partner in the firm of Joseph Shaw and Son, Mullingar', who gave evidence to a royal commission in 1908.…

Offprint "From the 'Pall Mall Gazette' of October 22, 1890." Four pages, 8vo, bifolium, unbound, slight staining not affecting text, mainly good condition. An evocative account of a visit to a Trade Dinner held by the House of Bentley. No copy listed on COPAC or WorldCat. See Image.

All three items in good condition, lightly aged and worn. ONE: Untitled proof, with 'Proof 6.12.92 [i.e. 6 December 1992]' in manuscript at foot of first page. 20pp., 8vo. Unbound and unstitched. Two manuscript corrections, and two indications of where maps are to be placed. The first letter is written from 'Dawlish, S. Devon, | May 20, 1892', and the last from 'Clifton, | May 31, 1892'. A passage, on pp.5-8, is under the heading 'The End of the Broad Gauge', the first paragraph reading: 'On Thursday the men arrived from all parts of the G.W. system, and brought tents, tools, and cooking-pots. Tea was handed round in huge galvanized Swindon pails, twice the size of an ordinary pail, into which the mugs were dipped. The men slept on straw by the side of the line in tents, and in somem places were billeted out. All preserved steady, industrious, quiet demeanour, with purpose and alacrity, quite unlike the bad half of the army which cannot go abroad and we put up with at home.' TWO: [drophead title] 'DEATH OF THE BROAD GAUGE.' 18pp., 8vo. Unbound and stitched. Same text as Item One, but with title, and entirely reset in smaller type, and with substantial alterations. (As an example, the following passages from the conclusion of the final letter (p.20) are not present in the same letter in this version (p.18): 'I am making use of a smudged sheet of paper, as three sides of it are quite good. | Coutts have advised a payment in of £150, for which I am much obliged. [.] | I am glad that M. M. was so considerate.') Two extra footnotes. No maps. THREE: 12mo envelope, with printed form on cover headed 'TRAIN LETTER, per [blank] Railway.' The envelope is 'To be handed in at the Railway Parcel or Booking-Office.' At foot: 'In the event of miscarriage please return to RICHARD BENTLEY & SON, New Burlington Street, London.' No copy listed on WorldCat and COPAC (or via Libri). See Image (includes partial of train letter).…

Paperback. Cloth-backed coloured folding map with text & graphs. 106cm x 90cm Edinburgh (c1928) Very good condition.

"One Hundred Copies" only. [16]pp., cr.8vo, sewn as issued, unopened, tastefully printed in brown with decoration on hand-made paper, good condition. Sadleir, in XIX Century Fiction, describes this as "A Prospectus of the Standard and Favourite Novels issued in January 1882". Given it's date, I would suggest it's a "Commemorative Catalogue" of a series which has great significance in publishing history. It gives the information present in Sadleir (II.100-4), but it calls the "phantom" "Second Series (Sadleir) Bentley's Standard Novels. The Re-Issue. 1854-1859?". It also lists (not Sadleir), Bentley's Favourite Novels, 1863-1882, adding three titles "to follow in 1882", with nos.83-100 left blank. The limitation to one hundred copies begs questions about distribution, but the Bentley's were not averse to quality publishing in limited numbers, for personal pleasure or very limited distribution (eg. perhaps publishers at a dinner sale? or similar). Not listed on COPAC or WorldCat. See Image.…
