Zustand: Fine. First edition hard back binding in publisher's original navy buckram covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back. 8vo. 10'' x 8''. The monument includes a Late Bronze | Early Iron Age palisaded hilltop enclosure situated on a natural chalky knoll half way down the northern scarp of the Wolds in Knapton Plantation. Separated from the main ridge of the Wold by a deep ravine, the steep-sided knoll rises to 115m above sea level and is a naturally defensive spot with commanding views over the Vale of Pickering and the Carrs. The Wolds are known to be rich in prehistoric remains, including Bronze and Iron Age linear earthworks and Early Bronze Age burial mounds. Although the exposed and practically soil-less hilltop bears no visible traces of the prehistoric settlement, the below-ground remains of the palisadedefences and some internal structures were identified during Thomas Cape Mason Brewster's excavations in the 1950s. Subsequent to the excavations, concrete markers were inserted into the backfilled foundation pits of these structures to indicate their position and a footpath was constructed up the west side of the knoll to assist visitors' access. Brewster's excavations revealed that the earliest defences comprised a relatively lightly built stockade near the top of the knoll and with three minor entrances in addition to a main gateway on the south side. This palisade was later replaced with a stronger one, located further down the slope, on a line approximating to the 111m contour. The later defences were remodelled on at least one occasion and comprised a stout timber revetment packed behind with chalk. The southern entrance was maintained throughout the life of the settlement but, presumably to increase the security of the enclosure, only one entrance existed in the later phase. The internal structures included the post-holes, hearths and floor surfaces of three huts, and the foundations of a rectangular timber granary, raised on stilts. Among the finds from the site were bronze razors of the 'Hallstatt C' type, objects of jet, bone and antler, Bronze and Iron Age pottery, clay spindle whorls and loom weights. Fragmentary human remains were also found. Contains colour frontispiece, small colour vignette to title, (iv), 161 pp (+ i) with 39 plates including maps + 95 figures throughout, triptych folding excavation plan to the rear. In Fine condition, no dust wrapper as issued, unused new book. Member of the P.B.F.A. YORKSHIRE (Jórvík).

Leather. Zustand: Good Only. None (illustrator). A leather bound copy containing a selection of classical satire passages by Persius, translated into English and including a brief examination of the Roman poet's life. Scarce second edition.Bound in a contemporary full calf binding.This is a collection of the six satires from the Roman poet Persius, translated into English verse 'with some occasional notes'.Contents include an advertisement to the front of the work, explaining the origins of this particular translation, as well as a brief 'Life of Persius' by Mr. Bayle.The satires of Persius are composed in hexameters, and talk about literary tastes of the day, national morals, and 'the question as to what we may justly ask of the gods'.This work was published anonymously, but the translation has been attributed back to Thomas Brewster (1705-?), an English doctor and translator. Brewster published this work while studying at Oxford, with the intention of seeing if the English public would appreciate the classical work.With a bookplate to front paste down belonging to Edward John Kenney (1924-2019), the British Latinist and expert on Ovid and Lucretius, as well as an institutional bookplate for the Cowper Museum.Collated, complete.

8vo, pp.[4], [iii]-xxiv, 154, [2]; short tear to [p]2; a very good copy in contemporary British calf, spine gilt-ruled in compartments, edges speckled red; a few scuffs, cracks to joints and endcaps chipped; ink inscription 'Jno James (1751.)' to title with notes and corrections in the same hand (seebelow).Second edition, with the addition of Bayle's life of Persius, with manuscript corrections. Our commentator, an unidentified John James, is unusually strident in his annotations, adding to the title not only his name but an additional epigraph adapting Persius 5:28-29 ('Totumque hoc verba resignent / Quod latet arcana (vix) enarrabile fibra') and changing 'and the Original Text corrected' to read 'and the Latin Original subjoin'd & corrected'. In the preface he identifies the translator, 'Dr Brewster of St Jns Oxfd', and in the Life continues as confidently as before, correctly noting that Persius was born in the reign of Tiberius, not Nero, changing his native town of 'Volterra' towards a more Roman form 'Volterræ', and making seemingly trivial additions to the text, e.g.'the famous Grammarian Palemon', 'the Orator Verginius Flaccus', or 'Italian Genealogists vainly alledge'. James on occasion engages critically with the notes, for example changing 'Trowses' to 'Breeches' and noting that they were worn not only by Medes but also by 'some Gauls in that Age' (p.67), but beyond implementing the errata and a few minor changes he appears to pay relatively little attention to the translation itself.

On 4to bifolium, with the account of charges on the recto of the first page, and Brewster's letter on the recto of the second. In very good condition, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed, with Nottingham and Derby postmarks, on the reverse of the second leaf, to 'John Goodall Esq | Solr. | Derby'. Docketted: 'Brewster Jno. | Under Shff of Nttm | with acct. of Charges in Grammer at Melbourne | Same at Hides'. The letter reads 'Inclosed I forward you the Account of Charges relating to these and shall feel obliged by a Check for the amount at your convenience.' The account of charges is in a different hand, and headed 'John Goodall Esq | To the Undersheriff of Notts.' The charges amount to £5 18s 0d, and include the cost of preparing warrants and summonses, and paying bailiffs. Also: 'In consequence of countermand of notice by Defendants Attorney preparing Notices to Jurors countermanding their attendance' and 'Paid Messengers and expences in countermanding including '. The 1853 'History, Directory and Gazetteer' of Nottingham gives the context of the case: 'Greasley, commonly called Greasley Moor Green, from its being included in that constablewick, is situated seven miles N.W. by N. of Nottingham; it is a small bnt pleasant village containing about 360 inhabitants; Lord Melbourne is the principal owner and lord of the manor; but Thomas Grammer, Mrs. Marshall, and the Misses Grammers have also estates here.'.

Together six vols. in one, 4to, pp. [iv], 28; 16; [iv], 30; 34; 20; disbound. A complete set of first editions. The anonymous translator was Thomas Brewster (b. 1705), a physician at Bath. While a student at Oxford he had published a version of the second satire (1733); the present text has been substantially revised. 'Henry Fielding paid his compliments in his 1743 Miscellanies, both to the physician, whom he terms the 'glory of his art' ('To Miss Hand at Bath') and to the translator. In his 'Essay on conversation' in that volume, Fielding quotes from Brewster's translation of Persius, which he describes as 'thus excellently rendered by the late ingenious translator of that obscure author'. Despite the ambiguous phrasing, it seems that Brewster was still alive: he was one of the subscribers to Miscellanies, and it is very probable that he was the Dr Brewster mentioned at the end of Tom Jones (1749) as being in attendance on the philosopher Square during his last illness at Bath It is not known when Brewster died, although the phrasing of the address to the second edition of Persius in 1751 suggests that he was still alive then, and in 1757 his name is found in the list of subscribers to Sarah Fielding's Lives of Cleopatra and Octavia' (Oxford DNB). The poems of Persius do present significant difficulties; the most famous early English version is that of Dryden (along with the satires of Juvenal), first printed in 1694. Quite uncommon: these translatons were sold at sixpence a satire, separately, over a period of a year or more, and not inevitably found in complete sets. Foxon B432-B436.
