In the spirit of Flashman and in the inimitable George MacDonald Fraser style comes a rousing story of prize fighting in the 19th century. When Captain Buck Flashman sees the black boxer catch a fly in mid flight he realizes that he is in the presence of speed such as the prize ring has never seen. Tom Molineux may be crude and untutored, but if 'Mad Buck' knows anything, this ex slave is a Champion in the making. Under his ambitious patronage, the 'Black Ajax' is carried on a popular tide of sporting fever to his great dream: to fight the invincible, undefeated Champion of England, the great Tom Cribb. Told through colourful voices, this novel paints a portrait of a flawed hero who surmounted the barriers of ignorance, poverty and racial hatred to bring the prize ring a lustre it had never known before, and may never again. George MacDonald Fraser (1925-2008), was a newspaperman, soldier, novelist and screenwriter. In 1966 Fraser got the idea to turn Flashman, the fictional coward and bully originally created by Thomas Hughes in 'Tom Brown's School Days', into a hero, and he wrote a series of novels around the character's exploits. In a career spanning thirty years and encompassing films such as 'Octopussy' and 'The Three Musketeers', Fraser worked with some of the Hollywood greats including Steve McQueen, Schwarzenegger, Fellini, Burt Lancaster and Charlton Heston.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. "The New Golden Bough" is James Frazer's classic anthropological work edited and abridged by Theodore H. Gaster. This is the Second Printing of Gaster's edited abridgment, complete with notes and a Foreword, issued in 1965 by S. G. Phillips in New Jersey. Frazer's original work, first issued in twelve volumes in 1890 in England, was a "pioneer study in magic and religion" that completely changed the course of anthropological thinking, and, along with its supplementary volume ("Aftermath"), became the crowning masterpiece of what was, then, a fairly new field of study. The following is excerpted from the dust-jacket's write-up : "A pioneer study in magic and religion that links the primitive concepts and modes of thought to the many institutions and folk customs they underlie, "The Golden Bough" was a milestone in the interpretation of man's past. No other work in the field of anthropology contributed so much to the mental and artistic climate of our times. What Freud did for the individual, Frazer did for civilization as a whole. Tracing the evolution of human behavior from the 'savage' to the civilized through his studies of magic, taboos, sexual practices, superstitions, and wizardry, and locating from these the basis and roots of contemporary social, scientific, and religious ideas, Frazer built a magnificent behavioral bridge from the past to the present. "This completely new, revised, one-volume abridgment . preserves the original thesis, structure, and documentation - while omitting those subsidiary and incidental elements which recent research has rendered obsolete or untenable. Holding to the eight divisions of the original, Dr. Gaster has divided them into sub-topics , and again, into paragraphs numbered for easy cross-reference. Gaster has improved the internal order of the sub-topics, cut away excess verbiage, and included comprehensive notes not available before in earlier editions. Where he has cut, or condensed outdated material, new commentary and connective material have been added. Notes, a complete index, and the text proper are all carefully coordinated and a valuable synopsis, general preface, and a substantial foreword analyzing Frazer's work and comparing it with this abridgment are included. "The New Golden Bough" gives the reader easy, logical access to one of the richest works of the human imagination, and restores it as a living, working classic and an indispensable reference work."

Fraser's Magazine launched in London in February 1830, and to begin with its most popular feature was Maginn's 'Gallery of Illustrious Literary Characters', with illlustrations by Maclise (collected in book form in 1873). The four portraits, all busts, are somewhat reminiscent of those in that work, but must be earlier if the identification of John Nichol, who died in 1828, is correct. The four are on separate pieces of paper, laid down 2 X 2 (with the four sitters looking inwards towards the centre of the page) on a leaf torn from an album. They are certainly originals, one at least done in sepia, with pencil outlines visible under the ink. The condition of three of the portraits is good, but the third described below (possibly D'Orsay) is somewhat foxed. Clockwise from top left, they are a bespectacled figure, tentatively identified as John Nichols (on paper 12 x 7.5 cm); a complacent individual reading a book, possibly Percival Bankes or Maginn himself (12 x 8.5 cm); another complacent individual, with too much chin and bottom lip, possibly Count D'Orsay, William Jerdan or David Moir (13 x 9 cm); and finally a portly figure looking uncommonly like Theodore Hook (12 x 8 cm). On the reverse is a lithographic print, on india paper (23.5 x 18.5 cm), looking very much like a pencil drawing, being a full-length portrait of an old bespectacled gentleman in profile, reading 'Cobbet's [sic]' newspaper, dressed in an old-fashioned cutaway jacket and hessian boots, with his dog behind him. In the bottom right-hand corner is 'Ob. October 1852 Aet 86 No. 1852'. See Image.
