This run of annual Anniversary Festival "song booklets" alas lacks the issues for 1960,1976, 1978 and 1981, so there are 22 booklets in all, small, saddlestitched, typically 40 pages mainly of unison chants and polyphonic settings - but then if you are interested you know what's in them -I'm merely a humble Bass having to sing Tenor most of the time.Also the programme of an Evensong at Arundel in 1992 - would sound great in that towering French-like fragment, but maybe St.Nicholas is the mediaeval church. Price reflects extra postal cost of this heavy bundle.

There can be no doubt of who it is a model of, though from being so much with him and knowing every feature better than anyone else I do not perhaps see it so like as others do, even my sisters. Your generosity enables me to give one bust to a cousin who will I know value it immensely. You will accept my sincere thanks and believe me to remain yours truly and obliged, M A Gordon. I do not think I sent you a copy of my brother's last words, which I now enclose hoping you may care to keep them. I have not said how much I admire your bust, it is so beautifully executed".

One of those characteristically mighty illustrated volumes with full-page titles (Histories, Geographies, Bibles) produced in the industrially booming 1780's and 1790's. This volume has its binding and concluding leaves loose, but is complete and contains all the many copper-plates including those of the American War of Independence. The book comprises, from the beginning: Front leather-covered board with attached endpaper, (no free endpaper) frontispiece,(i-iii),iv,(2),folding map of England,(5),6-714 (omitting 441-444 as seems normal;no missing text), a unique 24pp of "copperplate" handwriting, comprising "The History of England from 1787 to 1795" (which ends in mid sentence just after Disraeli has moved for the abolition of slavery "for the second time" in 1792),709-712 (being index and directions to binder),(2) (being list of subscribers and a short publisher's advertisement),free-endpaper, attached endpaper on back board. Presumably the eccentric numbering of the index preserves that of the first edition, where the text ended at p.708. The spine is sewn eightfold and has six strings in raised bands; much covering leather lost but the embossed "History of England" still visible where once was a gilded label. Including the frontispiece and folding map mentioned above, there are ,in addition to the numbered pages ,106 copper-plates, which seem to be all "called for" though the Directions to the Binder lists 107, but "Portrait of the Prince of Wales", to be opposite P.656, which is not there,is presumably a duplicate listing of "Edward, Prince of Wales.The Black Prince.", which is in place opposite P.184. The Frontispiece and folding map are heavily creased and the volume is variously foxed with area darkened anciently by damp, but the other plates are all sound and intensely printed , with foxing mainly to margins only, the book appearing to have been little opened. The seven spectacular American War of Independence plates, with their very full captions detailing British defeats, are all present and in very good condition with the exception of an ancient crease (rather a double-fold) running across two, which could easily be remedied. One other plate (Edward I) is simlarily anciently creased. The only pages loose or detached are the 24pp handwritten section and the 6 following pages and free end-paper. The leather on the boards is heavily marked and they are completely detached but certainly re-usable in a rebinding which we are hesitating over at present. Complete cleaning and resewing is probably not necessary but the rebacking is a large-scale job needing very sensitive craftsmanship;no doubt the later French/Spanish/American war plates are very tempting. Barnard stakes his claim to impartiality by including illustrations of England losing, but only to Americans (or to the French when in league with Americans). Did he already have an eye for the transatlantic market? If so, we are following in his footsteps. A heavy and precious item that might be expensive to ship and insure. Enquiries welcome, David Mitchell. (01)629 823272.
