London: Chatto & Windus, 1892. With TYPED LETTER SIGNED tipped in at title page, dated Mar. 15th, 1898 on The Survey of London letterhead to Frank Chapman, Esq. -" Dear Sir, I be(sic) to acknowledge your letter of March 10th. I think that the phrase is awkward, but it is not necessary that the verb should be in the singular. If the sentence had run 'a part of the punishments' , it should have been 'was', but it is, 'part of the punishments'; were parts here is a noun of number which may take either singular or plural. I remain, dear Sir, Very faithfully yours, Walter Besant". A photograph of Besant clipped from another publication pasted to opposing page, and also tipped in a handwritten note referring to the phrase at issue in the letter. Very Good in contemporary straight grain morocco, embossed in blind and gilt-stamped, brick red end papers, joints and edges well-rubbed, slight spine lean. Binding tight and solid. . TYPED LETTER SIGNED. First Edition. Straight Grain Morocco. Very Good/No Jacket, As Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.

Description:
1642 Erasmus of Rotterdam Autobiography & Letters Dutch Renaissance Humanism "When I have a little money, I buy books; and if I have any left, I buy food and clothes."
― Erasmus
While mostly known for involvement in the Northern Renaissance, Erasmus of Rotterdam published several works on humanism and Protestant theology. Beginning in 1642, publisher Joannis Maire sought to publish an entire series of the works of Erasmus. This work, 'Vita', was the first of this series. This work and the letters therein is a reissue of the 1615 edition that was edited by the famous Dutch scholar Pieter Schrijver. 'Vita' itself is a collection of smaller works including:
·
Erasmus's 'Autobiography'
·
Beatus Rhenanus 'Biography' of Erasmus
·
Erasmus's last will and testament
·
A plethora of letters written by Erasmus to Lambertus Grunnius, Hector Deidonanus, Christophorus Messia Hispanus, Conradus Goclenius, Mutianus Rufus, Joannes de Hondt, Oecolampadius, Petrus Vulcanius, and Helius… Read More

Summary: "The Bone People, first published in 1984 by Spiral, New Zealand. About this book: The Bone People is an unusual story of love. It is unusual in the telling, the subject matter, and the form of love that the story depicts. This is in no way a romance; it is filled with violence, fear, and twisted emotions. At the story's core, however, are three people who struggle very hard to figure out what love is and how to find it. Hulme won New Zealand's Pegasus Prize for Literature (1984) for The Bone People. Then the book went on to win the prestigious Booker Prize (1985).
