	ALLEN, ALFRED Clashenure Skyline Dublin, Dolmen Press. 1971, First Edition. Soft Cover, 8vo. Publishers original green card covers with black lettering to covers. Toning around edges. Previous owners stamp to half title page. SIGNED BY AUTHOR on title page. 45pp pages clean and bright in firm binding. Alfred Allen was born at Clashenure in 1925 of a long line of Protestant county squireens, who were not remarkable for anything very much except perhaps a talent for survival. Over the years a considerable amount of local history has accumulated in the family, and he has attempted to record it for his own satisfaction, and he hopes of others, before a changing world has rendered it quite irrelevant. In these pages the poet has tried to convey the quality of life of a people about to be industrialised out of their identity, or quite swept away by what some think is a spurious and short sighted pursuit of efficiency in agriculture; the country people of Mid-Cork who live between the City and the Kerry Mountains, and Mushera and the sea; and who were nobody's fools, except their own.

	BAIN, F.W. [TRANSLATED BY] The Ashes of a God London, Riccardi Press Books. 1914. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Publishers original grey boards with gilt lettering on cloth spine. Rubbing to extremities. Marks to boards. White endpapers, no inscriptions, light offset. 100pp. untrimmed pages, top edge gilt. Pages clean and bright in firm binding. The Indian Stories - The Ashes of a God translated by F.W. Bain. Vol. IX. That mischief making deity, the god of Love, who delights in getting others into trouble, got himself, once upon a time, into trouble of no ordinary kind. For seeing his opportunity he attempted to inflame Maheshwara himself with passion for the virgin Daughter of the Snow. And then it was that the biter was bit, and Love himself was suddenly reduced to ashes for his impudence by a pulverising glance from the angry Maheshwara's terrible third eye. The pale young Moon looked out upon it all, from the hair of the angry god; the pale new Moon, that very Digit, who gives the title to this story, being therein described as so superlatively lovely, as to be capable of causing the very god of Love to rise from his own ashes.

	BAIN, F.W. [TRANSLATED BY] The Substance of a Dream London, Riccardi Press Books. 1920. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Publishers original grey boards with gilt lettering on cloth spine. Rubbing to extremities. Marks to boards. White endpapers, no inscriptions, offset. 150pp. untrimmed pages, top edge gilt. Pages clean and bright in firm binding. The Indian Stories - The Substance of a Dream translated by F.W. Bain. Vol. XIII, is half a love story and half a fairy tale: as indeed every love story is a fairy tale. Because although that unaccountable mystery, the mutual attraction of the sexes, is the very essence of life, and everything else merely accidental or accessory, yet only too often in the jostle of the world, the accidental smothers the essential, and life turns into a common place instead of a romance.

	CALTHORPE, LT. COL. SOMERSET J. GOUGH Cadogan's Crimea London, Hamish Hamilton. 1979, First Thus. Hard Cover, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Ill.: General the Hon. Sir George Cadogan. Publishers original blue boards with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. Red endpapers, no inscriptions. 288pp. including index, profusely illustrated with colour and b/w plates throughout text, pages clean and bright in a firm binding. Colonel the Hon. George Cadogan saw the war as a participant, and recorded his observations in pictures while on the battlefield. His superb watercolours, carefully arranged in a large album which has been kept and treasured by his family, present the Crimean War from a soldiers point of view, sometimes horrifying, sometimes whimsical, sometimes sentimental, but at all times true to the prevailing atmosphere and events of the period. The text is an abridged version of Letters from Headquarters by the author, which was first published in two volumes in 1856. The writer's powers of observation combine the horror and dignity of war with the charm and humour; witness the story of the spy who was to be 'comfortably' hanged in the morning, or the occasion when Lord Raglan ordered up a troop of horse artillery and battery to fire on the Russians. During the Crimean War, for example, dress uniforms were used in battle and occasionally an officer, a lady on his arm, strolled across the heights above the battlefield showing her where he would be attacking in the morning. All this is shown in the illustrations. This is art and military history combined to extraordinary effect. Very Good/Fine/Very Good/Fine.

Previous owners stamp to half title page. SIGNED BY AUTHOR on title page. 45pp pages clean and bright in firm binding. Alfred Allen was born at Clashenure in 1925 of a long line of Protestant county squireens, who were not remarkable for anything very much except perhaps a talent for survival. Over the years a considerable amount of local history has accumulated in the family, and he has attempted to record it for his own satisfaction, and he hopes of others, before a changing world has rendered it quite irrelevant. In these pages the poet has tried to convey the quality of life of a people about to be industrialised out of their identity, or quite swept away by what some think is a spurious and short sighted pursuit of efficiency in agriculture; the country people of Mid-Cork who live between the City and the Kerry Mountains, and Mushera and the sea; and who were nobody's fools, except their own.

The Indian Stories - The Ashes of a God translated by F.W. Bain. Vol. IX. That mischief making deity, the god of Love, who delights in getting others into trouble, got himself, once upon a time, into trouble of no ordinary kind. For seeing his opportunity he attempted to inflame Maheshwara himself with passion for the virgin Daughter of the Snow. And then it was that the biter was bit, and Love himself was suddenly reduced to ashes for his impudence by a pulverising glance from the angry Maheshwara's terrible third eye. The pale young Moon looked out upon it all, from the hair of the angry god; the pale new Moon, that very Digit, who gives the title to this story, being therein described as so superlatively lovely, as to be capable of causing the very god of Love to rise from his own ashes.

Because although that unaccountable mystery, the mutual attraction of the sexes, is the very essence of life, and everything else merely accidental or accessory, yet only too often in the jostle of the world, the accidental smothers the essential, and life turns into a common place instead of a romance.

	CALTHORPE, LT. COL. SOMERSET J. GOUGH Cadogan's Crimea London, Hamish Hamilton. 1979, First Thus. Hard Cover, 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Ill.: General the Hon. Sir George Cadogan. Publishers original blue boards with gilt lettering to spine. Dustwrapper: unclipped, now protected in Brodart. Red endpapers, no inscriptions. 288pp. including index, profusely illustrated with colour and b/w plates throughout text, pages clean and bright in a firm binding. Colonel the Hon. George Cadogan saw the war as a participant, and recorded his observations in pictures while on the battlefield. His superb watercolours, carefully arranged in a large album which has been kept and treasured by his family, present the Crimean War from a soldiers point of view, sometimes horrifying, sometimes whimsical, sometimes sentimental, but at all times true to the prevailing atmosphere and events of the period. The text is an abridged version of Letters from Headquarters by the author, which was first published in two volumes in 1856. The writer's powers of observation combine the horror and dignity of war with the charm and humour; witness the story of the spy who was to be 'comfortably' hanged in the morning, or the occasion when Lord Raglan ordered up a troop of horse artillery and battery to fire on the Russians. During the Crimean War, for example, dress uniforms were used in battle and occasionally an officer, a lady on his arm, strolled across the heights above the battlefield showing her where he would be attacking in the morning. All this is shown in the illustrations. This is art and military history combined to extraordinary effect. Very Good/Fine/Very Good/Fine.
