London: The Society for Theatre Research, 1978. First printing. Fine/near fine. This book tells the story of some of the private theatricals staged in the great country and town houses of England and Wales during their golden age, when battalions of servants enabled their inhabitants to pursue lives of healthy activity in many occupations, which often included an enthusiasm for amateur acting. This is a story that has never been told in such detail before, and casts a fascinating light both on theatrical and social life in the 18th and early 19th centuries, revealing the romantic and often eccentric origins from which the amateur theatre movement in Britain has sprung. hardback, clothbound; mylar dust jacket, minor shelf wear & foxing, some staining & crease to back of dj First Edition AB52

Cambridge: W. Heffer & Sons Ltd, 1935. First printing. Very Good/very good. This volume is designed primarily to supply classical sixth forms and undergraduates, and their teachers, with exercises in 'composition'; it contains 'fair copies', or 'versions', mostly in Greek and Latin verse. Some pieces are included whose metre or contents place them rather outside the usual range; it is hoped that these will help to make the book interesting and instructive to classical students in general. There are included a few 'proses' of special interest, and also a few translations from Greek and Latin poetry into English verse; copies of the latter kind afford a valuable subsidiary exercise.
