Velocipedes, Bicycles, and Tricycles: How to Make and How to Use them. with a Sketch of their History, Invention, and Progress - " Velox "
Price : £450.00
Publisher : George Routledge & Sons
Published : 1869
Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Good
"Whether velocipedes are only the "toy of the hour," or are destined to become a permanent adjunct to our civilization and every-day life or not, no one can doubt their extending popularity." (from the Preface). Small octavo, 156X96 mm pages, paginates as follows.Pastedowns and both sides of free-endpapers, front and back are publisher's booklists. (3), vi-viii,(1),x,(1), 12-127,(1). There is absolutely no sign of anything having been removed, so it seems that the front free endpaper is included in the pagination, and that are therefore only 126 pages, excluding endpapers (or 130 including). The binding is sand-brown paper-covered card with lettering in several faces and a line drawing of "The French Bicycle" on the front, adverts for cough lozenges and insect destroying powder on the back cover! The spine carries the title longitudinally, the British way round. Condition of the text VG, though one section has been bound slightly displaced vertically; the hinges are sound. Condition of cover "good", i.e. with surface wear but no loss of surface except at bumped corners,joints and top and bottom of spine, which shows creasing that somewhat interferes with the lettering. Rare complete survival of an early and ephemeral type of publication. I have failed to look after my pre-war hub-braked tandem properly, time someone else looked after this!

Memors of the Royal Society: Being a New Abridgment of the Philosophical Transactions: .1665.to.1735 inclusive. Vols. 1,2,4,5,6,7,8. - Baddam (Benjamin) (from the library of Jedediah Strutt)
Price : £4000.00
Publisher : G. Smith, In Stanhope-street near Clare-market, et al
Published : 1739
Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Good
Seven of the ten volumes of this set, published in 1739 and 1740 (these volumes). Volume 1 contains the alegorical frontispiece indicating that no branch of natural philosophy is foreign to the society. In addition, each volume has thirteen numbered engraved plates, mostly folding, of which plate 5 in volume 4 and plate 9 in volume 5 are missing, apparently never having been bound in. Contemporary full calf with simple gilt panelling on the covers and rules across the spine, simple blind-embossed borders within the panels, raised bands and volume numbers in gilt arabic numerals on spine, "BADDAM'S MEMOIRS" on red Morocco labels gilt bordered. All page edges red-sprinkled. The condition of the bindings is worn, with some splitting of joints and parting of paper at hinges, but still strong, with no incipient detaching of boards. Occasional loose free endpaper. Text pages and plates with little if any foxing. Pagination: (vi),516,(8); 516,(4); 1-512,489( mis-numbered page 513),(7);506,(6);514,(5+blank); 515,blank +(4); 516,(4).Usual double free endpapers of this period. The provenance, going back through time is indicated by the bookplates of a recent FRS, of John Hallifax, displaying his arms as granted in 1788 and finally the pioneer inventor and mill-owner Jedediah Strutt who partnered Richard Arkwright in the world's first water-powered cotton mill in Cromford,Derbyshire, which still largely survives as a shell, and later set up giant mills of his own in Belper and Milford, sadly almost completely lost in the carpet demolition of the 60's. His small ornate-lettered "Jedh. Strutt" bookplate is attached to the top corner of each front pastedown.

xx+250pp+errata leaf+two fine lithographs (not coloured) of miners' theodolites + 8 folding plates showing plans and sections of iron-ore mines + two leaves of adverts for John Archbutt and Sons' instruments + one leaf to a smaller format; yellow endpapers also printed with a list of publications etc. Tall 8vo, greeny greyy blackish cloth with blind-stamped decorative patterns, very much of its date; elegant gilt titling on spine. The price was thirty shillings, so we are charging more or less the same price in real terms (if you can compare). The front board shows creases where it has been bent and re-straightened there is slight fraying to the cloth here and there and one folding plan has a worn edge, but this is essentially a handsome and very good copy, little used, as you don't learn this sort of thing from books. P.S. Hoskinn writes from Cinderford, Dean Forest and W.E.Wells has ink-stamped his name, the date 1871 and a decorative flourish very neatly on the back of the first, frontispiece, plate.

Plotted Vertical Sections of the Northumberland and Durham Coalfield; and supplement; and more - John Kirsopp Junior
Price : £300.00
Publisher : Newcastle: published by the author
Published : 1908
Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Very Good
Jacket : No Jacket
This comprises three parts: Portfolio of 19 maps of the Northumberland and Durham Coalfield, approx 24" by 18". Portfolio retains ribbons fastening, but spine and corners are torn. Maps in good condition. Supplement: a foolscape volume in black cloth binding showing small signs of wear. Inside cover is a handwritten dedication from John Kirsopp Junior. Inside rear cover a large colour map is attached. A small part of the map is torn. Folding of map is dubious. We do not believe that serious damage has been done. Thirdly, tucked into the supplement are documents including magazine offprints from the Mining Journal (again with a written note: "With the writers compliments"), and Newcastle Daily Journal. Also included is a foolscape four page prospectus for the Portfolio (this mentions 20 sheets, but our research makes us think that it was issued with 19 as with ours). The Kirsopps, father and son, were the predominant mining engineers and geologists of the English north-east for most of the reigns of Queen Victoria and King Edward VII. John Jr's sister Amy was a missionary to Tyneside's seamen. This is a unique opportunity to obtain not only the portfolio and the supplement, but also the associated documents which elsewhere might have been cast aside as ephemera.
