John Mortimer - Rumpole And the Golden Thread

Penguin Books 1983 Paperback, 256pp. Horace Rumpole continues to deftly juggle the vagaries of the law, the ambiguities of crime and the contradictions of the human heart in his death-defying performances on behalf of justice. Here he takes on the con-o-sewers of the art world, journeys deep into the throbbing heart of Africa, dabbles in some female politics, decides the country is a very dangerous place and incurs the wrath of She Who Must be Obeyed, his wife, Hilda . (ISBN: 9780140063318). Good.

Allen, Thomas: (Whittock, Nathaniel, illust.:) - A New and Complete History of the County of York. Illustrated by a Series of Views engraved on steel from original drawings by Nathaniel Whittock.

London: I. T. Hinton, 1828; 1831; 1831. 3 vols., 4to., pp. [v], vi-x, 491, [i] + York cathedral frontispiece, engraved title-page and 13 further plates; [ii], 598 + frontispiece, engraved title and 30 further plates; [ii], 550 + frontispiece, engraved title and 96 further plates. Plates quite foxed but only occasional foxing elsewhere, some plates have offset toning onto the page opposite. The Boston Castle plate opposite p.505, vol. III, has wax on it: the image is unaffected, though p.505 has lost 5-6 words. The Scarborough Museum plate is bound opposite p.456 instead of p.446 as listed. Later half tan calf neatly rebacked in a slightly later colour with spines retained, titles and volume numbers gilt lettered directly, marbled boards and endpapers. Rubbed and a bit chipped, a few scuffs, edges worn, but still a good set. Each volume is divided into books (vol.I, books I-III; vol.II books IV-V; vol.III books VI-VII). Bookplate of The Constitutional Club to the front paste-down of each volume, and the Club's crest at the tail end of each spine. The Constitutional Club was a London gentlemen's club with premises (now demolished) at 28 Northumberland Avenue, just off Trafalgar Square. It was established in 1883, disbanded in 1979.Closely aligned with the Conservative party, it counted P.G. Wodehouse among its members and appears in disguised form in several of his novels, including two Psmith novels (Psmith in the City (1910) and Leave it to Psmith (1923)) and Pearls, Girls and Monty Bodkin (1972). Thomas Allen (1803-1833) was a prolific writer and illustrator of topographical works, producing in his short life volumes on The History and Antiquities of the Parish of Lambeth and the Archiepiscopal Palace (1827); The History and Antiquities of London, Westminster, and Southwark (1827-1828); A New and Complete History of the County of York (1828–31); A History of the Counties of Surrey and Sussex (1829–30); guidebooks to London (1830) and some plates and articles for the Gentleman's Magazine. At the time of his death he had begun publication of A History of the County of Lincoln. Allen's works 'were almost all published in several parts, tosatisfy the demand for cheap, illustrated topographies from a public eager for historical detailsenlivened by romantic and picturesque scenery'.

[Coxe, William:] - Atlas to the Memoirs of John Duke of Marlborough; containing Armorial Bearings, Fac Similes, Maps and Military Plans.

London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, 1820. Slim 4to., contains all 22 items listed on the 'Order of Arrangement for the Plates and References' leaf, but lacks the leaf itself (a copy is loosely inserted for reference). Items include coats of arms, facsimile letters and many folding maps, some hand coloured or with paper overlays to show the positions and movements of troops. Two of the folding maps have a very short tear near the stub attachment (ie. 'Plan of the Battle of Malplaquet' and 'Plan of the Operations of the Confederate and French Forces on the Moselle and Saar'). Small loss to bottom edge of title-page not affecting text, a little sporadic foxing, some faint smudgy marks toward fore-edge. Recent half calf binding, spine gilt, marbled boards, title in gilt to leather panel in centre of front board. Spine a little sunned, very good. Discreet binder's label of Canterbury Bookbinders to front pastedown. Originally issued as an accompaniment to the octavo second edition of William Coxe's Marlborough's Memoirs (1820). The same material was also reproduced as the final volume of the quarto edition of the Memoirs (1817-1820). The selection of materials is designed to illustrate Marlborough's (1650-1722) reputation as one of the finest commanders in British military history.
