Waverley is a historical novel by Sir Walter Scott (1771â"1832). Published anonymously in 1814 as Scott's first venture into prose fiction, it is often regarded as the first historical novel in the western tradition. The book became so popular that Scott's later novels were published as being "by the author of Waverley". His series of works on similar themes written during the same period have become collectively known as the "Waverley Novels". The novel was well-received by contemporary critics, and well-liked by those who purchased novels in the early 19th century. It has continued in favour with later critics.

"Immediately after Hardy's death his books and papers were subjected to the critical scrutiny of Sydney Cockerell, notable bibliophile and director of the Fitzwilliam Museum, whom Hardy had appointed, jointly with Florence Hardy, as his literary executor. Cockerell had Max Gate bookplates made and inserted a good many of them himself.These, as Cockerell later explained in a letter to The Times Literary Supplement of 17 September 1938, were printed by the Cambridge University Press in two colours, 'red for books containing Hardy's signature or notes in his handwriting, black for the other selected books', and his own contribution was to paste red labels into as many signed or annotated volumes 'as I could find', leaving the black labels 'to be inserted by Mrs. Hardy or an assistant' an arrangement, so he claimed, that was 'not fully carried out'." (Millgate, Thomas Hardy's Library at Max Gate: Catalogue of an Attempted Reconstruction). The Library of Thomas Hardy, Hodgson & Co., 1938, lot 38 Publisher's cloth with printed paper label. Some spotting to boards, rubbing to edges, some toning to pages. Max Gate bookplate to the ffep, Thomas Hardy's signature on the title page, and Roger H.

Two volumes from the library of Ulysses S. Grant, published the same year The Civil War was raging. Octavo, 2 volumes, bound in three quarters calf over marbled boards with gilt titles to the spine, marbled endpapers, marbled edges. From the library of Ulysses S. Grant with a presentation bookplate to the pastedown of both volumes which reads, "Lieut. Gen. U. S. Grant, from the Citizens of Boston, January 1, 1866." In very good condition. Rare and desirable. Ulysses S. Grant was the 18th President of the United States (1869â"77). As Commanding General of the United States Army (1864â"69), Grant worked closely with President Abraham Lincoln to lead the Union Army to victory over the Confederacy in the Civil War. He implemented Congressional Reconstruction, often at odds with Lincoln's successor, Andrew Johnson. Twice elected president, Grant led the Republicans in their effort to remove the vestiges of Confederate nationalism and slavery, protect African-American citizenship, and supported unbridled nationwide industrial expansionism during the Gilded Age.

William Laidlaw (1780-1845) was a Scottish poet. The son of a border farmer, he became steward and amanuensis to Walter Scott, and was the author of a well-know ballad, 'Lucy's Flittin.' The note reads: "Dear William, In case they have omitted to send a formal card I thought it right though perhaps scarce necessary to say that you will be expected at Abbotsford tomorrow at one or a little earlier. Yours very truly, W. Scott." Fold lines, paper abraided where there was once a stamped seal.
