Condition: Fine.
Description: Berlin: Lithogr. Institut d. Berliner Kriegsministeriums , [1817]. Second Expanded Edition.. Contemporary paste paper boards.. Fine.. 4to, I - [20], 337, [1 - blank], [4 - index] + 16 sheets of folding plates on page stubs; II - [3], [1 - blank], 3 - 352, [4 - index] + 8 sheets of folding plates on page stubs. In volume I pls. #4 & 5 and #8 & 9 are on two sheets with all plates consecutively numbered to 18 but therefore being only 16 individual sheets of plates; in volume II pls. #21 & 22 and #26 & 27 & 28 are on two sheets with all plates consecutively numbered 19 - 29 but therefore being only 8 individual sheets of plates A lithographic rarity. Lahr's manuscript treatise on military engineering is more than 700 pages and entirely printed in lithography. It is the first publication of the Lithographic Institute of the Prussian Ministry of War, which took over the earliest permanent lithographic press in Berlin founded by Ludwig von Reiche in 1815. Lahr's Introduction provides a detailed description of the procedures used in the production of the plates (engraving on stone, pen drawing, chalk drawing, etc.) and of the text. He also provides the names of the lithographers employed. This is certainly one of the most extensive, if not the most extensive, books produced lithographically at this early date. See J. Aufsesser, "Die Entwicklung der künstlerischen Lithographie in Berlin," in Zeitschrift fur Bucherfreunde IV (1900), pp. 288-96.

Title: A PRINCE OF THE CAPTIVITY
Author: Buchan, John
Seller: Sumner & Stillman (United States)
Description: 1933. London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1933. Original green cloth lettered in gilt, with dust jacket. First Edition. In this novel the hero, Adam Melfort, is convicted of forgery, is drummed out of his regiment, and is sentenced to two years in prison -- for a crime his wife actually had committed. Upon release he embarks upon a series of adventurous causes in an effort to regain his reputation -- taking him into the secret service in the Great War, to the Greenland ice-cap, to the industrial Midlands and ultimately to Germany, where after the Great War he foils the attempts by a German faction to bring down the country's leader. (This was published, of course, just before one Adolf Hitler became that country's leader.) Though based on a curious premise, the tale is full of typically thrilling Buchan adventure -- climaxing in a man-hunt in the Italian Alps in which Melfort brings down his enemies with a rockslide. This copy is in the primary binding (there are several secondary bindings, including this green cloth lettered in black). The volume is in fine condition; the pictorial dust jacket is very good-plus (slightly soiled, with reinforcement at the ends of the folds on the back-side). Blanchard A99.

Condition: Near Fine in Very Good dj
Description: London: Jonathan Cape. Near Fine in Very Good dj. 1938. First Edition. Hardcover. [nice clean copy with minimal shelfwear; the jacket is just about as nice, with just a touch of edgewear, but with a small chip at the base of the spine and a tiny hole torn in the middle of the spine]. "Spella Ho is the name of a great house. The novel which bears its name might be called the story of a great man. Son of a drunken carrier, miserably poor, illiterate, ugly, and with almost no assets except great physical strength and an immense courage, Bruno Shadbolt is drawn throughout his life by two great influences, women and money. How he teaches himself to read and write, how he gets his first crude ideas of business, how he gradually works himself up, paying the bitter penalties of his ignorance and his obsession for wealth, and how finally he comes to own the great house near which he was born -- these struggles form the basis on which this long novel is built." .
