The Court of Holyrood. An Old Story

Edinburgh, Alexander Macredie, 1825. 3rd edition. Hardcover. pp. 194. 8vo. Bound in original paper-covered boards. The original plain boards are present but partially detached. The paper spine covering is absent. There is a bookplate from Colquhoun's Circulating Library, of Edinburgh, affixed to the inside of the front board. The stitching of the text block is loose but holding. The contents shows some light foxing, but are otherwise unmarked and remain perfectly readable. A poor, to fair, copy. A novel about Mary, Queen of Scots, with a short Preface signed by 'The Authors'. Some uncertainty appears to exist (most apparently amongst book dealers offering for sale copies of this title) as to the dates of publication of the first, second and third editions. Part of this confusion is engendered, no doubt, by the 1826 issue of the Literary Gazette which notes this title as having been 'just published'. In fact, an earlier edition was published in 1822 under the title 'The Court of Holyrood, Fragments of an Old Story.' by Macredie, Skeely, a predecessor of the publisher of the 1825 third edition. There is no easily discernible record of when, or by whom, the first edition was published. What is certain to us is that our copy is designated as the 'Third Edition' and bears the date of 1825 at the foot of the title page. .

Linlithgow - the Prospect of Their Majesties Palace of Linlithgow - Slezar Engraving

Tim Jordan, 1693. . Apparently original Print by John Slezer which has been mounted on thin card.Image from Theatrum Scotiae by John Slezer, 1693. Measures 18 x 11 1/4 (46x28.5cms) Linlithgow Palace rises above loch and town, in this view from the west. Mary, Queen of Scots was born in the palace in 1542. In 1745, almost 50 years after Slezer's view was published in Theatrum Scotiae, the palace was gutted by fire, and it has remained a ruin ever since. The crown on the tower of St Michael's Church to the right was removed in the 1800s, but was replaced in1869 by a replica of the impressive crown seen here on the palace tower. Figures in this view include fishermen in boats and people walking on the palace embankment. The central fold and a long blind tear top right have been repaired with archival tape. Surface a bit duty but would frame well. Mounting has resulted in slight loss of the text bottom left. See scans. . Fair

Lodewijk XIV. Leven en liefdes van de zonnekoning

Nieuw Amsterdam. Paperback. Pp: 416. Antonia Fraser Lodewijk XIV Leven en liefdes van de Zonnekoning Zoals de planeten in het heelal rondom de zon draaien, zo moest alles in Frankrijk om hem draaien. Om dit idee gestalte te geven liet hij buiten Parijs een geheel nieuw paleis bouwen: Versailles. De almachtige heerser van het meest glorieuze en extravagante hof in het Europa van de zeventiende eeuw was Lodewijk XIV, de Zonnekoning. Aan het hof van de Zonnekoning In deze prettig leesbare en uitstekend gedocumenteerde biografie beschrijft Antonia Fraser het leven van Lodewijk XIV aan de hand van de vrouwen die zo'n grote rol in zijn leven hebben gespeeld. Te beginnen met zijn moeder Anna van Oostenrijk, die voor zijn absolute macht gevochten heeft. Vervolgens zijn eerste vrouw, zijn nicht Maria-Theresia, met wie hij zes kinderen kreeg. Naast deze officiële 'koningin van Versailles' had Lodewijk XIV talrijke andere vrouwen om zijn (seksuele) behoeften te bevredigen. Na een korte verhouding met zijn schoonzuster Henriëtte, werd Louise de la Vallière zijn eerste en belangrijke maîtresse. Daarna kwam de wilde en briljante Athénaïs, markiezin van Montespan, die hem zeven kinderen schonk. De gelovige en intelligente Françoise de Maintenon, Athénaïs' gouvernante, was de volgende vrouw die zijn hart veroverde. De laatste jaren van zijn leven waren voor de bruid van zijn kleinzoon, Adelaide van Savoy, die opmerkte dat 'onder een koning een land eigenlijk wordt geregeerd door vrouwen'. Antonia Fraser heeft veel historische werken geschreven, zoals de alom geprezen internationale bestsellers Mary Queen of Scots en The Six Wives of Henry VIII, en de bij Nieuw Amsterdam verschenen biografie Marie Antoinette. Haar werk is vele malen onderscheiden. In 1999 werd ze Commander of the British Empire. Antonia Fraser woont met haar echtgenoot, de Nobelprijswinnaar Harold Pinter in Londen. ISBN: 9789046802540.

Patrick Adamson

Reverendissimi in Christo Patris, Patricii Adamsoni, Sancti-Andreãƒâ¦ in Scotia Archiepiscopi Dignissimi Ac Doctissimi, Poãƒâ«Mata Sacra, Cum Alijs Opusculis. Studio Ac Industria Tho. Volvseni I.C. Expolita & Recognita.

London, Joannem Billium; John Bull, 1618. First edition. Fine Binding. The important and scarce large paper copy, of the first edition of Patrick Adamson's poetry, rebound in a sumptuous morocco binding at the National Library of Wales. A very scarce work. With the errata leaf to the rear, and the uncommon three printed leaves of the Assertiones Quaedam. Present to only variant copies. This issue has the royal arms to the verso of the title page. Patrick Adamson was a Scottish divine. This edition of Adamson's works have been edited by his son in law Thomas Wilson. It includes for the first time, Adamson's paraphrase of the Book of Job in Latin hexameters. It is dedicated to King James I who, as James VI removed Adamson from office. Adamson was removed from his position as the Archbishop of St Andrews due to his conflict with the General Assembly who were strongly Presbyterian. Following many heretical allegations including the supposed use of a witch to cure himself Adamson was excommunicated. This ruling was later rescinded as the General Assembly did not have the authority to do this. Following the attempted excommunication Adamson was found guilty of charges such as 'falsehood, double dealing, erroneous doctrine' by the Assembly which resulted in King James VI withdrawing his primacy and transferring his episcopal revenues to the 2nd Duke of Lennox. Prior his being removed from his position Adamson has written Latin translation of the Lamentations of Jermiah and the Book of Revelation. Both are to this work. This dedication is a venture to revive Adamson's reputation from the misinterpretations of the Scottish Presbyterians. (ODNB). The collected works also contains Adamson's famed first publication, his poetical attack on the Roman Catholics in Aberdeen 'De Papistarum Superstitiosis Ineptiis&apos. It also contains his poem of thanksgiving regarding the birth of James VI/I, his 'Serenissimi ac nobilissimi, Scotiæ, Angliæ, Franciæ, & Hyberniæ Principis' and his highly acclaimed catechism of verse 'Catechismus Latino carmine redditus&apos.

[ALBUM AMICORUM - AUSTRALIA - INDIA]. DICKEN, Charles Shortt and DICKEN FAMILY.

[Album containing illustrations and photographs of Australia and India]. [Illustrated title-page:] Contributions thankfully received.Australia [and England and India?], 1870s. Oblong album (ca. 23 x 30 cm). With 36 albumen prints, including 14 photographs of Australia. These include houses, churches, buildings in Springsure, Queensland around 1870, photos of Charles with his horse, a wonderful picture of an "Alligator killed in the Mackay River" and "bottle trees near Taroon", 5 photographs of India: Bengal Camp Delhi, multiple group photos in Darjeeling, a group photo in front of the government house in Calcutta, and the crew of the H.M.S. Narcissus, 17 photographs of Gibraltar, America, Switserland, art pieces and the Dicken family. Further with 24 watercolour paintings of flowers, landscapes and people, including two of the Taj Mahal, and 17 coloured pencil and ink drawings of people. The drawings and paintings are almost all signed S. P. D. or F. E. D., who were likely members of the Dicken family. Most photographs and art pieces are captioned in pencil or brown ink, several leaves are decorated with additional drawings or dried plants. Contemporary maroon cloth, embroidered with yellow flowers. Comes in a custom-made black-cloth clamshell box (internally covered in burgundy cloth), with a black morocco title-label on the spine, lettered in gold, and a folding liner of the same burgundy cloth.

[50] ll.Album amicorum of a settler in Australia and his family, with rare photographs of Queensland (Australia) and India in the 1870s.The photographs in the album are extraordinary, especially those of the small town of Springsure. In 1841, the first photograph was taken in Australia, of Bridge Street in Sydney. While explorers and early colonists quickly became a subject of interest for Australian photographers, photographs of early settlements are quite rare. The photographs of the government house in Calcutta and the crew of the H.M.S. Narcissus in the album are also of historical interest. Together with the numerous drawings, paintings and poems, the album offers a fascinating insight into life in Queensland in the late 19th century.Charles Shortt Dicken (1841-1902) was born in India. He was a lieutenant for the Royal Irish Fusiliers, before he settled in Queensland in 1864. He entered the mounted police in 1866 and worked as a police magistrate until he was appointed secretary in the office of the Agent-General for Queensland in London in 1880. When he retired from this position in 1891, he received the title C.M.G, Companion in the Order of Saint Michael and Saint George. This is awarded to those who render extraordinary or important non-military service to the United Kingdom in a foreign or Commonwealth country. In the final years of his life, he contributed to The British Empire series, a series of four volumes which aimed to offer trusthworthy information about the colonies and settlement of the British Empire. Dicken was a co-author of volume IV - Australasia, published in 1900.The cloth is worn at the head of the spine and shows a few small holes on the boards, revealing the leather album beneath. The illustration of the "execution of Mary, Queen of Scots" is missing on leaf [12]. Some of the dried plants are falling off. The edges and corners of the leaves show some signs of wear, the leaves slightly browned. Overall in good condition, the photographs, artworks and other decorations are very well preserved.l Mennel, P., Dictionary of Australasian biography, p. 132; The Daily Telegraph, november 15, 1902, p. 4.
