Tenderfoot
Hodder & Stoughton, London, 1955. First Edition, Red Cloth. Good/No Jacket. black titles & spurs motif spine; "A life for a life - that was the Law, or so thought Al Vincent. That was what set him adrift, for he had killed a man and that had forced him to throw in his lot with the notorious bandit, Harry Christopher and to take part in a train robbery and other lawless deeds. AI, simple, gentle, with the strength of a giant in his hands, wanted for murder! and with a price on his head. Those who knew Al knew too that he could hardly sit a horse or fire a shot and set out to prove that he was not the cold-blooded killer of his reputation. Here was as nice a problem for judge and jury as had ever come before them, especially when faced with pretty Frances Jones and her determination to set AI free from the twist in which he found himself."; W.H.Smith & Sons Library stickers inside front cover & a previous owner's name on fep.; some foxing to page edges; 189 pages.

Brandon, Ruth
Being Divine: A Biography Of Sarah Bernhardt
Secker & Warburg, London, 1991. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780436199950 beige end-papers; Sarah Bernhardt - la divine, la grande Sarah - achieved a pinnacle of fame unprecedented in an age before film and television. Every aspect of her extraordinary life was reported in obsessive detail: her penchant for sculpting in a white silk Worth pyjama suit; her whim to have a tiger's tail grafted to the base of her spine (she was mercifully talked out of it); her ever-changing lovers; the coffin in which she reputedly slept and the number and veracity of her death scenes. Unfashionably thin, with clouds of blonde hair and long slanting eyes, Sarah possessed a golden voice, a determination to succeed which was almost frightening in its intensity, and the ability to convince everyone that she was the most beautiful and the most fascinating woman in the world. Sarah embarked on her acting career almost by accident, but she threw herself body and soul into her work with a seemingly inexhaustible energy, which even the amputation of her leg and the encroachment of what in others would be termed old age failed to diminish. Unlike the stars of recent years, Sarah did not have nervous breakdowns (although she was notorious, during her early years, for being 'difficult'), she did not become addicted to drugs or alcohol, she did not commit suicide or succumb to consumption - and she did not retire. Like many, Sarah sought fame, but she, perhaps uniquely, thrived on the rigours which accompany it. What were her secrets? In this unusual examination of Sarah Bernhardt's life, Ruth Brandon searches behind the well-known, very public persona of this fabulous woman to discover precisely what it was in her background, upbringing and personality that made her the phenomenon that she undoubtedly was. The result is a book which is at once wittily informative, unerringly perceptive and thoroughly entertaining. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. xiii + 466. Dust Jacket un-clipped.

South East from 1000 A. D.
Longman, Harlow, Essex, 1990. First Paperback Edition, Paperback, Illustrated by: Photo's & Drawings. Near Fine/N/A. 9780582492455 black titles spine; N.B. - this book is for sale only with it's companion volume -"South-East to AD 1000" (the books are priced individually); one of the 'A Regional History of England' series; front cover illust. shows oasthouses at Sissinghurst, Kent; illustrated throughout with maps, diagrams and half-tones; "In this volume, Peter Brandon and Brian Short examine the history of the people who have lived in the South East of England - in practice the modem counties of Surrey, Kent, East and West Sussex and Greater London south of the Thames - from late Anglo-Saxon times to the present. Although London itself is not given separate treatment in this series, its growing influence on settlement, transport, economy and society in even the most distant comets of the South East is, inevitably, one of the major features of the book. The authors have two principal concerns: to describe the development of the community across this thousand-year span; and to examine the changes to the physical setting in which it takes place. Landscape and society are thus given equal emphasis throughout. The authors pay due attention to the great historical events that have had an impact on the region - wars, plagues, technological change and socio-cultural trends amongst them - but they are also at pains to stress the underlying continuity of rural and urban life. As well as .exploring the interaction of economic, social and landscape history, Peter Brandon and Brian Short also acknowledge the cultural dimension of the ordinary lives they are describing: they show how people themselves became increasingly aware of their environment, and how the landscape has in its turn influenced the art and literature of those who live within it. But the picture is not one of unclouded progress. The authors identify the South East today as one of the problem regions of the developed world, with dense settlement, severe competition for land, and the accelerating erosion of what countryside remains. One of the strongest features of this admirable book is the attention it gives to explaining such contemporary problems through an understanding of their historical origins. The authors move with equal confidence from remote hamlets in the Sussex Downs to the crowded tenements of Lambeth, from prosperous market towns like Ashford, Guildford and Tonbridge to the avenues, crescents and closes of South London's suburbia. All have made their distinctive contribution to the South East as it is today, and all find their appropriate place in this splendidly readable survey."; including index & bibliography - 444 pages.

Kennard Press, London, 1985. First Thus, Card Covers. Near Fine/N/A. illustrated by b/w. prints, maps & drawings; an extensive introduction gives the background to the family & locality of this notorious eighteenth century rogue; "Bampfylde Moore Carew 'was a Rogue in the grand tradition. An idler, a swindler, a knave and a rascal... a wit and a practical joker'. So Dr Breitmeyer describes this West Country folk hero in his introduction to the two 19th century pamphlets re-printed here for the first time as facsimilies of the originals, which recount Bampfylde's Life and adventures. Born 1690, the second son of an ancient, wealthy and much respected Devonshire family, Bampfylde renounced the comfortable life that might have been his almost by right as a gentleman for that of an itinerant beggar. Choosing the freedom of the road in place of security, adventure not domesticity, and looking always for new experiences, Bampfylde established himself as a true 'King of the Beggars' Although no Scholar-Gipsy but a rogue by any standard of morality, he must have often laughed heartily and he made many others laugh very pleasantly with him."; as-new copy; 60 pages.

Near Fine/N/A. 9780006861737 blue & black titles spine; illustrated by section of b/w. photo's. diagrams & formulae; cover shows 'The Alchemist' by Johannes Stradanus; "beginning with the first tentative chemical explorations where primitive technology and . techniques were deployed, Dr Brock proceeds via the alchemists' futile, but frequently profitable, efforts to turn lead into gold to recount. the emergence of the modern discipline of chemistry as fashioned by Boyle, Lavoisier and Dalton, He provides a particularly generous critical account of chemical developments during the last 150 years, emphasizing the roles-of purity, analysis and synthesis, the exploration of reaction mechanisms, and the industrialization of chemical change, while also weighing up just how chemistry has been taught and disseminated. While brilliantly successful in explaining and exploiting chemical change, modern chemistry - in academy and factory alike - with its recondite language and symbolism and its associations with pollution and danger, prompts more fear than excitement in the uninitiated bystander. This book seeks to enlighten that bystander: to assess links between theory and practice, to reveal recurrent cycles and themes, and to encourage a heightened awareness of the human dimensions of the chemical sciences which might in turn promote a. better public understanding of chemistry and the modern chemical and pharmaceutical industries."; previous owner's name inside front cover; including appendices, bibliography & index - 744 pages.

I propose to confine myself in the present introduction to such particulars of the history and functions of the guild as will help the reader more fully to understand the record now set before him. Although sometimes regarded, even in Hull, as a sort of “branch office" of the London Trinity House, the Hull Trinity House is, and always has been, an independent body, which, although its charter of incorporation is later than that of the London Trinity House, may well claim to be the elder of the two, Long before its formal incorporation, the Hull Trinity House was a recognised guild, exercising many of those functions which it was later authorised by charter to perform.
