No Binding. Zustand: Good. Large printed broadside, 39 × 25.7 cm. Scarce Yorkshire auction broadside issued in the bankruptcy of Robert Cuthbert, advertising the sale of a wind corn mill with patent sails at Aldbrough, near Hull, together with dwelling house, outbuildings and land. The sale was held at the Cross Keys Inn, Kingston upon Hull, on 8 May 1818. The mill appears to be the historic Aldbrough Corn Mill, a well-recorded Holderness windmill that survived until 1930 and is documented in local archives and museum collections. An attractive and uncommon piece of Yorkshire milling, agricultural and industrial-history ephemera, featuring a woodcut illustration of a windmill. Good only condition. Folded, worn and age-toned with small losses and minor repairs, but complete and legible.…

pp. 48. 8vo. Modern quarter calf in a cloth book box with leather spine label. Title stained and with some foxing throughout.

4to (280 x 220mm), pp. [iv], iii, [i], 391; title a little foxed, and somewhat spotted occasionally throughout; else a fine copy, uncut in the original blue boards, white paper spine (rubbed but sound). First and only edition: there was another issue (undated) with a London bookseller added to the imprint, but clearly this is the original issue, even though some cataloguers date that one to 1800. This skilful versification of the Gospels is posthumously published: Ralph Darling (1728-98) had been a physician and twice Mayor of Hull. The book was issued by subscription, and as might be supposed, the majority of those taking copies were from Hull or surrounding areas. William Wilberforce, who MP for Hull at this time and was of course a very earnest member of the Clapham Sect, is among those listed. Johnson, Provincial Poetry, 251 (the Hull-London issue).…

Only edition, 4to, pp. [4], iii, [1], 391, [1]; contemporary quarter tan calf over marbled boards; rebacked, old spine and spine label neatly laid down; very good and sound. Put to verse, this is an unusual treatment of the four gospels. Subscriber list notes takers for approximately 175 copies, so the edition was likely a small one. Not in Darlow & Moule.…
