First edition hard back binding in publisher's original elaborately gilt decorated cobalt blue cloth covered boards, blocked and lettered gilt back, spine and front, all page edges gilt, bevelled edges. Bound by Bone & Son, 76 Fleet Street, London. Quarto. 10'' x 8¼''. Contains red and black printed title, the text block and poems being printed on thick card stock. With 35 wonderful (the re-published edition with 28 plates) full-page single-sided black and white engravings by Arthur Boyd Houghton, the engraved illustrations from famed Victorian era wood engravers and illustrators George and Edward Dalziel. Like George du Maurier, who was a friend of his, Arthur Boyd Houghton had been afflicted by the loss an eye when he was young. However, he continued to paint as well as illustrate: among his paintings were charming paintings of family life, some jewel-like pictures of children, and some small, slightly disturbing works depicting street scenes (Lambourne 371, 183, 133). Lengthy pencil note to the front paste down 'Xmas 1865 - This year also saw 'Home Thoughts and Home Scenes', a book with 35 drawings of children by A. Boyd Houghton by Routledge, 1865, which was afterwards republished as 'Happy Day Stories'. This book is absolutely essential to any representative collection of the period, but nevertheless its designs can hastily be regarded as among the artists masterly works. Houghton is said to have taken more pains over these drawings than any others. His style in them is as far removed as possible from his later impressions, therefore the book is essential to a collection of his work.'

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. No Jacket. 2nd Edition. The retir'd gardener. In six parts. The two first being dialogues between a gentleman and gardener. Containing the methods of making . and improving a fruit and kitchen-garden . The four last parts treat of the manner of . adorning gardens; explaining the art of making and disposing of parterres, arbours or greens, wood-works, arches, columns and other compartments proper for the most beautiful gardens and plantations. London, J. Tonson, 1717. 8vo. [16] + 432 + 8p. Engraved frontispiece by M. van der Gucht after L. Laguerre, 20 engraved plates, woodcuts in text. Contemporary decorative panelled calf; lower spine strengthened. A rich source of information on contemporary horticultural practice, and garden design much influenced by French models. London and Wise owned the celebrated Brompton Park nursery from circa 1688 to 1714, and supplied most of the large estates with plants and trees; the nursery was highly recommended by John Evelyn. Wise was 'master gardener'to Queen Anne, whilst London travelled the country giving advice on gardens including Chatsworth, Longleat and Castle Howard. The present work is advertised as a translation of two French works (those of François Gentil and Louis Liger) but with 'several alterations and additions proper for our English culture'. This second edition revised by Joseph Carpenter who became a partner in the nursery in 1714, gives more details of English practice, tree-planting schemes and fruit preferences than the first published 1706 edition, and is considered of more use to the real gardener. There is a list of fruits and catalogue of seeds available at the Brompton nursery. Among the attractive plates are several of parterres, allées and garden layouts with topiary and fountains; arbours and covered walks are illustrated in an elm-entwined portico and a 'gallery'of hornbeam (the text notes that the English would use lime). A handsome copy in contemporary binding, very faint toning only to one or two leaves. Henrey 990. See also David Green, Gardener to Queen Anne, 1958. …

Condition: Very good. - Octavo, 8 inches high by 5 inches wide. Two pages penned on the first and third pages of a folded sheet. Over 150 words penned by the radical minister William J. Potter addressed to a Mrs. Richmond regarding arrangements for a lecture he will give at the meeting of her club. After mentioning that she should expect him on the 5 p.m. train, as that is the earliest he can leave Boston for Lowell that day, he expresses his pleasure that she likes his latest essay: "I am glad if you have found so much to enjoy in my essay on 'The New Protestantism'" and, though he would be tempted to read it at the lecture he had "thought of reading a paper which I call 'Two Views of Tradition, - The Ecclesiastical & the Scientific.' And on the whole this seems to me more appropriate." Signed "Wm. J. Potter". In a postscript, Potter suggests that if Mrs. Richmond's not fully recovered her health by then, it might be better to postpone the meeting and he would then come later in the season. Folded several times for mailing with a small piece out from the bottom front corner of the second page. The Unitarian minister and Freethinker William James Potter (1829-1893) was a radical minister in the American Free Thought tradition of his era. Influenced by the Transcendentalists, he was later strongly influenced by Charles Darwin. Moving from his Quaker foundations to Unitarian Christianity and then towards free religion, Potter was a founder with David Atwood Wasson of the Free Religious Association (1867-1920). Potter drafted the Free Religious Association's constitution and eventually served as it's president: "The new society would dedicate itself to the emancipation of religion from the thralldom of irrational and traditional authorities." From 1859 to 1892, he served as the minister of the Unitarian Church in New Bedford (First Congregational Society). Potter was the poet Conrad Aiken's grandfather. In his autobiography "Ushant", Aiken says that his entire life was devoted to the ideas and work of Potter. …

He begins emphatically: 'Dear Lorrimer [sic] | I wish to state clearly, that I do not Exhibit in the Paris Exn. next year and that you are not to try to get any Picture of mine to send there.!!! | I think it necessary to write this, after yesterday's over-much talk on my part I think. My "ruminations and denunciations" may have led me into being less explicit than I ought to have been, and espescially [sic] that part where I expressed indifference as to pictures out of my possession, and where I might not be able to have control.' He was 'so glad' to see Lorimer that he 'may have thought too little of the business that brought you, it was Pat Adams mention of Chamberlains pictures &c. that made me think of this after you left'. He ends in the hope that Lorrimer 'got home all right'.…

No Binding. Condition: Very Good. Original two manuscript ALSs and one manuscript autobiography including 30 lines. 1 p.; 2 p.; 2 p. In Ottoman script. Only one letter with date and letterhead of 'Vecih Bereketoglu'. In his first letter dated April 26, [19]44, he talks about the painting and oil painting he is working on. He states that he has met Fazil Bey since 1923. Another paper includes a two-pages autobiography. Second ALS includes 19 lines. Hasan Vecih Bereketoglu was a Turkish painter, influenced by impressionistic aesthetics, who took painting lessons from Halil Pasha and at the Julian Academy in Paris. He is one of the painters of the 1914 Generation. He was the son of Kazasker Bereketzade Cemil Bey. Since his father was a civil servant, he completed his primary education in Egypt. He completed high school in Rhodes. He studied at Istanbul Darülfunun Law Faculty. He took his first lessons in painting from Halil Pasha between 1916 and 1920. He became one of the names that supported the establishment of the Fine Arts Union. He was in Paris between 1922-1923 and continued at the Art Academie Julian. Upon his return to Turkey in 1923 he became the Chairman of Kadikoy Halkevi. When he moved to Ankara in 1943, he became the Presidential office manager. During these years, he produced still life works. He produced such works by adopting the impressionist understanding of his art life in general. It was seen that he was influenced by Halil Pasha, Hikmet Onat, and Nazmi Ziya Güran in his works on Istanbul. He was mostly remembered as an 'open-air painter' with his paintings with the views of Fenerbahçe, Kurbagalidere, and Göksu. In these paintings, he did not see the light element as the element that determines the color and presented it with the reflection it's created in nature. Signed by Author(s).…
