PART I - Books published before 1716
1 [BRACCESCO, Giovanni] GEBER [Jabir ibn Hayyan] De Alchemia Dialogi II.
Quorum prior, Genuinam, libroru[m] Gebri sententiam, de industria ab authore celatam,
& figurato sermone involutam retegit, & certis argumentis probat. Alter Raimundi Lullii
Maioricani, Mysteria in lucem producit. Norimbergae apud Johan. Petreium, 1548.
£1,650First Latin Edition; 4to. (190 x 150mm), pp.(128), signed A-Q4 (Q4v blank); title lightly soiled,
intermittent light stain in lower gutter throughout, but generally well preserved in lightly crumpled
early vellum; twenty leaves of good writing-paper bound in at end with seven pages of early ms.
notes 'De Natura... Epistola quaedam Bernardi Germani...' & 'Fragmentum Bernardi Comitas [?]',
evidently by 'Francisco Billiod in constancis Vittoria' who has signed pastedown & head of title;
later(?) inscription on title, 'Ex Bibliotheca Joannis Boyum / Sinatoris Dolani 1617'. Later (18thC?)
book label of 'Dervieu, Libraire, rue du Caire... près la rue Saint-Denis; a Paris' with extensive ms
note in French of similar date regarding the authorship of these dialogues. The prefatory
'propositiones' are headed: Expositio librorum Gebri et Raimundi, ex Tuscanico idiomate traducta
... incerto authore. Dialogus primus, pp.(11-112), first appeared in Italian, Venice, 1544, as 'La
espositione di Geber'. Lignum Vitae (pp.113-127) was first published Rome, 1542, as 'Il legno della
vita'. These Latin versions by Guglielmo Grataroli were included in the translator's compilation
'Verae alchemiae ... doctrina certusque methodus', published in Basel, 1561. Whether a true
translation from an Arabic text subsequently lost, or a later summary of Arabic chemistry, 'The
works of Geber were the medieval alchemist's text-book and vade-mecum. They are very clear and
free from mystery... [& may] be truly regarded as the most important means by which Arabic
chemical knowledge became available to the alchemists of medieval Christendom.' F. Sherwood
Taylor, The Alchemists.

PART II - Books published 1716-1832
7 ARISTOTLE. [pseud. William SALMON?] The Works of Aristotle, The Famous

Miller, Law and Carter, [1820s] £4512mo., pp.300; frontispiece & several woodcut illustrations; two page corners singed just clipping

six engraved plates & vignette at end; faint staining across lower margins but a well preserved copy
of this deluxe edition on heavy wove paper of Storer's pictorial record of Wyatt & Beckford's string
& sealing-wax folly; the letterpress extracted from John Neale's Views of the Seats; contemporary
marbled boards, rebacked in tan calf.
9 BERKELEY, George. Alciphron: or, The Minute Philosopher. In seven dialogues.Containing, An Apology for the Christian Religion, against those who are called
Free-Thinkers. Printed for William Williamson, Dublin, 1757. £75Pp.(12)370 + 'Just publish'd' advert. leaf at end, title verso, eccentrically, also lists 31 'Books
Published by Wm. Williamson'; woodcut vignette & head-piece; a good copy in contemporary calf
(worn but serviceable), re-backed with morocco label; ms. book-label of John Fricker. Written
during Berkeley's residence in Newport, Rhode Island, 1728-31, and clearly influenced by his
experience of the American scene.
10 BROOME, William. Poems on several occasions. The second edition, with large
alterations and additions. Printed for Henry Lintot, 1750. £120Pp.xiii(3)adverts.,248; engraved frontispiece by Vertue; woodcut initials and decorations; first &
final leaves a little browned, otherwise a good crisp copy in contemporary calf, neatly rebacked.
Despite the claim of the title, this is actually a re-issue with cancel title-page of the first edition of
1727 for which Lintot had paid Broome £35. Confusingly, an augmented second edition had
appeared in 1739. Broome's literary fame rests largely on the eight books of the Odyssey which he
had translated for Pope, earning Johnson's praise for his smooth versification. He fell out with Pope
over the £500 paid for his work & gained a place in the Dunciad for his pains.

soiling of title & half-title but generally well preserved with large margins; contemporary calf,
morocco label & head of backstrip sometime expertly renewed, short split in upper hinge but
reinforced & secure; old ownership signatures of Mary Cecil & Anne Campbell. Burke's first work
of importance winning praise from Johnson, Hume & Reynolds, while Kant describes Burke as 'the
foremost author [in] the empirical exposition of aesthetic judgments'. 'His enduring achievement
was to have tackled a difficult subject in a fashion accessible to any educated reader.' DNB. Todd
5a, 500 copies printed.
12 [BURKE, Edmund.] A Philosophical Enquiry into the Origin of our Ideas of theSublime and Beautiful. The Fourth Edition. With an introductory Discourse concerning
Taste, and several other Additiona. for R. and J. Dodsley, 1764 £220Pp.ix(7)342; title lightly browned, otherwise a very nice large copy in contemporary full calf, old

14 [COLLIER, Jane] An Essay on the Art of ingeniously Tormenting; with Proper Rulesfor the Exercise of that Pleasant Art... The Second Edition, Corrected. A. Millar, 1757.
£165Pp.(2)iv,234; engraved frontispiece; title slightly age-browned but a good copy in contemporary
calf, extremities worn but sound, neatly rebacked with morocco label. Arguably the first extended
prose satire by an English woman, this wicked pastiche of 18thC. courtesy books takes the form of
a mock manual of advice which instructs the reader in the arts of tormenting. Collier offers advice
on tormenting servants, humble companions and spouses, and on the education of one's children to
be a torment to others. Written in the satirical tradition of Swift's Modest Proposal and doubtless an
influence on the young Jane Austen, Collier's Essay first appeared in 1753. Two further editions
appeared fifty years later. The author was the daughter of Arthur Collier, the metaphysician. Heltzel,
Newberry Library Courtesy Books, 391.
15 CRABBE, George. Poems. Third Edition. Printed for J. Hatchard, 1808. £35Pp.xxvii,258 + advert. leaf; 16pp. Longman's catalogue for June 1st, 1808, inserted at end;

calf, morocco label; neat repair at head of backstrip. An anthology culled from the Galignani's
Monthly Repertory which first appeared in 1810, this 'third edition' is evidently a reissue of the
previous sheets with two new preliminay leaves. We can find no copy of any edition in Copac or the
British Library; Worldcat lists 1810 & 1818 'Fourth Edition' but not this.

motifs, accompanying text 'extracted from Bewick and Daniel' within engraved tablet & border;
slight edge browning but well preserved in original blue boards (surface-worn) engraved label

Scott with Gosden when the artist promised, 'if you will be at the expense of a set of silver buttons
for your shooting jacket', to engrave 'representations of the various animals of the chace', to rival the
buttons said to have been worn by Napoleon on St Helena.

novels, poems, and so forth. Among those mentioned are Coleridge, Wordsworth (who is
respectfully treated), Southey (who is not), [Monk] Lewis, Scott, and Byron.' Chew pp.17/18. The
extensive notes are perhaps more entertaining than the verse of the notorious Shakespeare forger.
His range is sufficient to require a 20pp. index.

This second edition appeared in the same year as the first with amendments explained in an
epistolary epilogue...'You have viewed the whole work as a Novel, or modern romance, whereas, the
chief object is to illustrate the improprieties and absurdities of our modern education in this part of
the kingdom...' No copy in B.M.; NSTC lists 1st Edinburgh & New York editions only.

CLODD, Edward. Books from the library of Edward Clodd and his descendants ofStrafford House, Cragg Path, Aldeburgh. Including presentation copies of his books and
those of his friends, several with autograph letters and other association material.
Banker, writer and anthropologist, Edward Clodd cultivated a wide circle of literary and scientific
friends who periodically met at Whitsun gatherings at his home in Aldeburgh, Suffolk. An early
disciple of Darwin, Clodd knew Thomas Huxley and Herbert Spencer and wrote biographies of all
three. His 'Childhood of the World' and 'The Story of Creation: A Plain Account of Evolution',
helped to popularise their ideas. A keen folklorist, he was also chairman of the Rationalist Press
Association and a keen member of the Omar Khayyam Club, organising the transplanting of a rose
from Omar's tomb to FitzGerald's grave at Boulge for the Centenary meeting. Prominent among his
literary friends and correspondents were Grant Allen, Meredith, Hardy, Gissing, H.G. Wells,
Edward FitzGerald, Samuel Butler and Andrew Lang, while Edward Whymper, Laurence Gomme
and Holman Hunt would regularly join his literary gatherings at Strafford House.

152 [STRACHEY, Sir Edward?] An Account of Oxford In the Twenty-first Century.
Reprinted from an original m.s. in the possession of the Editor. Shrimpton and Son,
Oxford, 1878. £750FIRST EDITION, pp.12; original printed wrappers a little browned. A gently satirical account of the
university & its procedures with several acute predictions amongst the fantasy elements. Evidently
printed for the author, probably- Sir Edward Strachey, politician & landowner, (now perhaps best
remembered for his 1895 edition of Lear's Nonsense Songs & Stories), from whose library it came.
A second copy, also purchased by us from Strachey's library, is now in California, but we can trace
no other. 'I gave orders over-night to the sleep superintendent of the hotel at which I lodged in
London to have me moved by the noiseless lift into a train that would reach Oxford about 9.30. I
then took a sufficient quantity of compressed food to last me till the following evening, and retired
to rest... I engaged a closed windowless car...called a Ruskin [its] purpose being to enable people to
drive through the town without seeing its streets or buildings until they arrived at a certain bridge,
from whence...a first view of Oxford was best taken.... Looking over Magdalen Bridge the first
building on the right hand side is Magdalen College, with its tower and chapel. The tower is about a
hundred feet high, and well proportioned; but to my mind much injured in appearance by the
sewage arrangement at the top. The sewage from this end of town is by an entirely new process
pumped to the roof of the tower, and then by a series of evaporating pans given off in the form of
vapour...' More fun is had at the expense of University government, diurnal examinations, students'
dependence on alcohol, the luxurious life-style at All Souls, and 'Keble College (derivation of name
unknown), where farmers receive an agricultural education.'
