Full Suede. Condition: Fine. No Jacket. First Edition, Limited/Signed Edition. Red suede leather binding, Edited by the Anvil, Middlesex School, Concord, MASS., 1927, Dedicated "To Mr. William Harold Taylor, Guide, Companion, And Friend To Every Boy Whose Name Appears On The Following Pages, This Book Is Gratefully And Affectionately Dedicated." Foreward states, "We believe that, by collecting here examples of what boys at Middlesex School have accomplished in the past in the way of verse, boys in the future also will be led to express in poetry those thoughts that otherwise might die without expression because they are too elusive, too musical, too fragile, or too sacred to find their way to kindred spirits through the medium of work-a-day prose.".Frederick Winsor. Versed included are those by Conrad Aiken (about 10 from 1907), Paul Hollister, Lamar Fleming, Everett Bradley (1909), John B. Hopkins and Faneuil Adams (1915), Sherman Skinner Rogers (1918), Robert Cameron Rogers (1919), Alan Stewart Rogers (1920), Brainerd Richardson Taylor (1922), Eduardo Andrade, Walter Gierasch, Robert E. Swartwout, George Barry Bingham (1924), Philip Hichborn (1925), William Knipe Root (1926), William Henry Howard, Eliot Chapple, Ralph George Carpenter, Jr., William Ezra Northey, Jr., Frederick Ayer, II, Howard Forrest Atwood, Robert French Evans (1929) My guess is the date which appears after the authors names might be the date they graduate since the last entry states 1929 even though the book has a printing date of 1927? The limitation page states:"This volume was set up and printed in the Middlesex School Print Shop. This Edition is limited to One Hundred Copies, of which this is No. 94 (94 is handwritten). At the end of the book in the Afterword it states: A quarter century is a long time, and we had much to choose from; natually, our choice may not always have been wise, but it is representative. The boys who wrote 20 years ago could not forsee the great history which has been made between their time and ours.The Anvil Board. This beautiful little book of 58 pages is stamped in gold, all page edges gilt, marbled endpapers and pastedowns, there are red illummed letter that start on each page. This book belonged to "Peter David Junkin" whose name appears also in gold stamping at the bottom of the cover, His bookplate also appears inside the front cover as well as inside the custom made clam shell type wrap around cover (cloth and boards). This bookplate was designed by Frederick G. Hall in 1904 (he is listed in important books on bookplates), the protective cover then slides into a custom made slipcase covered with cloth and leather with Junkin's name stamped in gold at the bottom. There are 5 raised bands and six compartments on the slipcase spine to make it appear as a book. The case alone would easily cost over 100.00 to make. It is a little faded but is in overall wonderful condition. Some wonderful pieces by Aikens and others in a very small limited edition. A real one-of-a-kind piece. None (illustrator).…

paperback. Condition: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

This item is a nice artefact of one of England's foremost public schools. The great rival of Eton, Harrow numbers among its alumni seven prime ministers, including Churchill. This notebook comprises lists of boys and their positions and classes in a particular term. The paper stock, watermark and handwriting all indicate that its composition is contemporaneous with the schooling of those named. It is the work of one person, almost certainly one of the school's masters, and its loose and hurried nature indicate that it was intended for personal use, or as an aid in future writing. There is no internal indication of author or source, but the latter is established beyond all doubt by reference to R. Courtenay Welch's 'Harrow School Register, 1801-1893' (1894), which shows that the notebook was compiled in the last few years of the reign of George IV, and certainly during the tenure of George Butler (1774-1853), headmaster from 1805 to 1829, and later Dean of Peterborough (see his entry in the Oxford DNB). As Welch explains in his introduction, the early part of his register is incomplete, and it is likely that the present item names individuals not present there. It is 24pp, with an additional 2pp of pencil calculations and a page with a simple pencil drawing of the front parts of a horse, in a stitched 7 x 8 cm notebook of watermarked laid paper, in dark-blue waxed card wraps. The notebook contains thirty leaves out of an original thirty-six, with a few leaves loose and one stub present. All but one of the 24pp are written on the rectos. Each page carries a list of names - sometimes as many as 21 to a page, sometimes only a handful, under the following headings: p.1, Monitors; pp.2 and 3, Upper VI; p.6, Upper V; p.8, Under V; p.11, Upper Shell; p.14, Under Shell; p.16, IV Form 1st Rem.; p.18, IV Form 2nd Rem.; p.20, IV Form 3d Rem.; p.21, IIId Form 1st Rem; p.22, IIId Form 2nd Rem; p.23, IIId Form 3d Rem; p.24, Unplaced. P.14 will serve as an example: 'Under Shell / Perceval Minr / Maydwell / Smith Minor / Balfour Jun / Bradford / Graham / Park Junior / Crommelin Senr / Davidson / Gregg / Mr Dundas Junr / Winter / Elliot / Sheppard / Hammet / Macham / North Minr'. Among the mass of names, many are identifiable with Welch's aid. The following individuals were, unless otherwise stated, entered in 1813-15: 'R. B. Phillipps Senr / Longworth in the County of Hereford' is identified by Welch as Robert Biddulph Phillipps, 'son of Chancellor Phillipps'(entered 1811); 'A. Clive Esq of Whitf[ield]' is Archer Clive (d.1878), 'son of E. B. Clive, Esq., M.P.' (entered 1811-1813); 'Ponsford' is William Ponsford, 'son of W. Ponsford, Esq., Puddicombe, Devon'; on p.3 'Boileau Pollen' is George Pollen Boileau-Pollen, 'son of J. P. Boileau, Esq. (afterwards Boileau-Pollen)'; 'Ld Ashley' is Anthony Ashley-Cooper, Lord Ashley, 'son of the 6th Earl of Shaftesbury'; 'Goldschmidt' is Adolphus Goldschmidt, 'Merchant'; 'Crommelin Senr' is George Russell Crommelin (1803-1844), the younger Crommelin being Thomas Lake Crommelin (1805-1877); 'Count P: Lieven' is Count Paul Lieven, 'son of Count (afterwards Prince) Lieven, Russian Ambassador' (1816).…
