Description:
Paris: Chez Locard et al., 1805. [4], iii, [1], 285pp, [1]. With a folding table. Contemporary gilt-tooled calf, contrasting red morocco lettering-piece. Rubbed, marked, and stained. Recent bookplate of John Fowles to FEP, slight loss to lower corner of leaf I4. The first edition of a contemporary account of the Haitian Revolution, from the perspective of the defeated French colonists. The insurrection began in 1791 with the enslaved people of Saint-Domingue, now Haiti, rising against French colonial rule. The revolt ended in 1804 with the Haitian people gaining independence from France, thereby becoming the first country to be founded by those formerly enslaved. The book is primarily a defence of French actions during the conflict, and in particular the conduct of military commander Donatien-Marie-Joseph de Vimeur, vicomte de Rochambeau (1755- 1813). In 1801, Rochambeau was appointed to lead an expeditionary force against Saint- Domingue in an effort to restore French control. He proceeded to wage…

An early edition of Walter Besant's (1836-1901) biography of famed explorer Captain James Cook (1728-1779). From the library of New Zealand-born mountaineer George Lowe (1924-2013), a member of the 1953 British Mount Everest expedition, the ninth mountaineering expedition to attempt the first ascent of Everest, and the first confirmed to have succeeded when Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary reached the summit on 29th May. The day prior, Lowe had led an advance guard, wielding an ice axe with legendary skill, to cut a path into the Lhotse Face to the final camp (1,000 feet below the peak), preparing the route for Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. Following this achievement Lowe became…

Description:
[London]: [s.n.], [1736?] [1]ff. Single sheet. Docket title to verso. Disbound, with chipping at gutter and extremities, old folds, slightly browned to extremities. Ink and wax crayon numerals to head of sheet. An early example of Parliamentary lobbying literature, published in small numbers for distribution to Members of Parliament in order to influence opinion in the run up to debates and divisions, refuting the Case of the Working Coopers to the Distillers around London in their complaints that 'laying a Duty upon Compound Waters or Spirits' (undated but presumably relating to the Gin Act of 1736) would reduce them to 'very calamitous Circumstances'. Referencing the Coopers arguments against the Bill (separately published as ESTC N6066), this refutation notes not only that 'the Consumption of Cask by the Brewers, and the Demand of Coopers Work for Merchants and Shipping is so great, that there are scarce Coopers enough to supply those Branches of the Trade', but also that…

Description:
[Edinburgh]: R. Mezies, [s.d., c.1820] 38pp. Later half-calf, marbled boards, lettered in gilt. A trifle rubbed. Recent book-label of Anne and F. G. Renier to FEP, very small hole to text of leaf B5 - without loss of sense, very occasional pencilled annotation/highlighting. A rare survival of an address by a collective of Edinburgh-based tradesmen and residents professing loyalty to the king and constitution. The petitioners are presumably addressing George III in the wake of the Scottish Intervention of 1820 or Radical War, a week of civil unrest and strikes led by workers calling for democratic reforms. The lengthy list of signatories (p.3-38) is comprised of a diverse grouping of merchants, including numerous booksellers, such as Charles Guthrie, William Blackwood, and James Innes, and bookbinders John Walker and Robert Miller. COPAC records copies at two locations (Glasgow and NLS). . First edition. 8vo.
