Description
London: Excudebant A. Rivington & J. Marshall: Impensis J. F. & C. Rivington, T. Longman, & T. Cadell, 1786. 175 x 105 mm. (7 x 4 1/4"). 368 pp., [1] leaf (ads). Contemporary brown "school cloth" (rough linen), raised bands. Front flyleaf with owner inscription of John Cutler, dated Sept 21, [17]89, four lines of Latin doggerel threatening anyone who steals the book with hanging, and two large copperplate trials of Cutler's signature. ESTC N63834. Not in Darlow & Moule. A little fraying at top and bottom of joints, light foxing and toning throughout (due to paper quality), a couple of small ink stains, but a surprisingly appealing copy, the text extremely clean, and the unsophisticated makeshift binding--remarkably--with no significant wear. This is an almost startling survival: an 18th century New Testament in Greek, in its original utilitarian binding, preserved in condition far better than what could be anticipated, given the audience of generally uncareful pupils for which it was intended. Considering the usual depredations of school children, the rough school cloth should have been worn to shreds long ago, but, against the odds, it has fortuitously escaped hard use and now gives us a glimpse of an important element of the English schoolroom very close to its original condition. One particularly delightful aspect of our copy is the flamboyant declaration of ownership by a pupil called John Cutter, who inked his name no fewer than four times in different styles and with calligraphic flourishes across the flyleaf. Cutter's neatly penned book curse, threating any would-be thieves with hanging, may have helped to preserve the book as it now exists. In fact, there are few signs of use by any owner, rightful or unlawful. The leaves are free from any markings, and the insubstantial binding appears to have rarely left the shelf..

Tucson, Arizona: The University of Arizona Press, 1972 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st Edition. First edition. Edited by Eve Ball. Octavo. 9¼ x 6 inches. vi, [2], 336pp. 7 illustrations from photographs. Index. Brick cloth lettered in gilt. A fine copy in pictorial dust jacket. Jacket with the slightest of wear along top edge. Becoming quite scarce. Lily Klasner grew up alongside outlaws and Indians and could hold her own among them. She took leadership of the family when she was only 13 years old, after her father was murdered. She became a great rider, shooter, and could handle any "man's job" In later years she became a school teacher and telegrapher. She kept a meticulous diary, aided with newspaper clippings, letters, photographs, and documents, and created an autobiographical manuscript of her experiences as a woman in the West. This manuscript was discovered in an old trunk in an abandoned house in 1968, and author Eve Ball undertook the task of editing and annotating this manuscript, resulting in this book. Also includes the personal diary of John Chisum "Cattle King of the Pecos", who was an intimate friend and counselor of Klasner and her family. .

Description
New York Simon & Schuster, 1934. 8vo., publisher's decorated wrappers. First complete edition. Nash wrote the piece to be performed at the Dutch Treat Club show in March, 1933. It was then published in a collection of poems entitled Happy Days, but in a Bowdlerized version. There then followed pirated editions of this version, until S & S decided to issue it in its original form. The work contains four cartoon drawings by the artist who is best remembered for his cartoon strip, "The Little King." The music and lyrics are provided at the rear, fully scored by Robert Ambruster. A very nice copy of an early Nash title. AN ELUSIVE WORK
