Edition : 1st Edition

Elephant folio. Yellow cloth binding with gilt lettering and black borders to front and spine. Ends of spine worn. Front endpaper creased. From Vol X, No 227 Saturday July 4 1885 to No 252 Saturday, December 26 1885, followed by 12 page fashion supplement, each with four photographs to a page. Covers fashion, household, gossip and celebrity. The first issue deals with the forthcoming Royal marriage of Princess Beatrice, however a more interesting note is this one: "PRINCE ALBERT VICTOR - or, as I much prefer to call him, Prince Edward - is now a Freeman of the City of London, and go into business there at once if the worst comes to the worst. He has a long line of precedents to fall back upon as, during the past few generations almost all the Princes of the Blood Royal have been enrolled among the City Fathers. Curious thins are done in these ultra-Radical days, and it would be strange, if interesting, to see the young Prince set up as a fishmonger, a draper, or a cordwainer in real good earnest." Of course, and allegedly, Prince Albert Victor did take up a similar activity, and keep up the blood connection, as under his title of Duke of Clarence he appears in the list of suspects to be Jack the Ripper! How perspicacious of this writer three years before the event. What else could one discover? We leave that to you. Please check postage due to weight.

Leaves from my Portfolio - A Member of (Glasgow) University Council (Walter Wardlaw)

Edition : 1st Edition
Binding : Hard
Condition : Very Good
Jacket : No Jacket
152 page slim volume of poetry bound in classic dark green cloth of the period, with title and triple-ruled panel in gilt on the front board. At the time of entry we seem to have the author's remaining stock of three copies, all basically in very good condition apart from the usual minor faults such as darkening of the cloth and foxing of endpapers.The first copy is signed by the author in an aged hand under the preface and dedication to gis daughter Ellinor Halcro-Wardlaw. This double-barelled name seems to have emigrated to America; does it survive? The poetry does not entirely pass the "poetical verbiage" test: a quick check finds: fain, cleave, rill, e'en and o'er -but he seems to resist the temptation of "azure".

Pasted in the back part of a newpaper advertisement of Mr. Fowler addressing the "Clergy, Gentry and Residents of Rotherham" (Yorkshire), in the front a beautifully written verse commanding the borrower to RETURN the book. The contents are separately paginated for each lecture, the spirit of which is LIBERAL and RADICAL! A.S.Neill, even, would probably have approved of Mr. Fowler's enlightened sentiments.
