Description:
Stockholm, Natur och Kultur, 1947. Large 8vo (29.5 x 19.3 cm). About 1400 pp.; 47 coloured plates, numerous b/w plates. Contemporary black buckram with gilt title on the spine. A well-illustrated work by the Swedish zoologist, ecologist and environmentalist Kai Curry-Lindahl (1917-1990). Fairly common (in Sweden), but this is a seldom-seen dedication copy, with, on the title page, the author's many thanks and compliments to Kenneth Douglas Morrison and the National Audubon Society. Morrison (1918-2011) was the Society's Publication Director, editor of the Audubon Magazine and - later - President. Pagination is odd, as if more was to be published and inserted, but this copy is complete. Small inscription in the margin of the front free endpaper recto, otherwise a very good, clean copy.

Description:
London, privately printed by the author, 1897. 8vo (18.2 x 12.3 cm). 40 pp. Contemporary strip of paper to spine. Anarchist paper (title meaning: the will of the people) inciting the assassination of Czar Nicolas II. The author, Vladimir Bourtzeff (later often spelled Burtsev), who had fled Russia after being exiled in Siberia, was subsequently arrested by London police and sentenced to 18 months of hard labour. Bourtzeff was the first Russian revolutionary to be imprisoned in Britain (Henderson). Part of the text reads: 'As regards our ultimate tasks we are Socialists, and in this respect we adhere frankly to those traditions which have elaborated by a series of generations of Russian Revolutionists ... We may say in the words of the late Stepniak- "We are revolutionists not only to the extent of a direct rising of the people, but to the extent of military conspiracies, to the extent of nocturnal invasions of the Palace, to the extent of bombs and dynamite." ... On the question what is…

Brussels, Ad. Wahlen, printer to the court, 1835. 8vo (19.4 x 12.4 cm). xxvi, 542 pp. one folded map and five smaller engraved maps (one in two colours) lithographed by Thierry frères in Paris. Contemporary blind-embossed half calf over marbled boards. Spine with four raised, gilt ornamented bands and green morocco label with gilt title. Marbled endpaper, marbled edges. A very rare edition of this popular work by Sir John Ross. The first edition was issued in quarto by A. W. Webster in London, in 1835. But this 8vo edition, published in the same year, was printed and published in Brussels and made use of lithographs made in Paris. Contrary to the London edition it does not include plates - only the six maps. It includes the addenda, including a report and appendix with letters. Sabin reports it next to a French and two American octavo editions. Currently there are more than ten London copies on the internet, but not one of this Brussels edition. Spine sunned, scratch to label; first pages and…

Original blind quarter cloth over printed boards. A well-told largely true story by the British sailor and armourer, John Rodgers Jewitt (1783-1821).

Considerable shelf wear, especially along the edges; mild but extensive foxing throughout, some thumbing and soiling, but generally good. Sabin, 36123.

Smith, as he was known, was the fifth Port Physician in Boston but the second under the city council form of government. Born July 20, 1800 in Conway, New Hampshire, he took the post at the young age of 26 and was apparently happy to take up residence on Rainsford Island in the summer of 1826. He carved his name and date of becoming the port physician into a rock outcropping on Rainsford Island in the summer of 1826 and this carving still remains visible today. He was a rare individual who combined eminent skills in medicine with considerable literary abilities which he demonstrated as the…
