Description
79 engraved plates. xi, 79, [1] pp. Large 4to, cont. sheep, flat spine gilt. London: I. & J. Taylor, 1797. First edition and a nice copy from Schloss Tetschner, with the private library’s attractive stamp on verso of title. Nicholson (1765-1844), architectural writer and mathematician, “was probably the most prolific communicator on the technical aspects of architecture in the first half of the nineteenth century and his influence should not be underestimated. He wrote at least twenty-seven books and two collaborations, which all went into many reprints and which were still being republished and updated by others well after his death…Furthermore his was one of the leading intellects concerning technical architectural matters and remains to this day essential reading on the period.”–ODNB. The magnificent Tetschner library was purchased in 1934 by H.P. Kraus in Prague. Bound-in at the end is a four-page folio Taylor catalogue of publications, which does not seem to appear in ESTC.

Description
Dublin: William Curry, Jun. and Company and William Carson; Printed by William Warren, 1838. Octavo (22 x14 cm.), xii, 745, [3 blank], pages. [A] , B-3A , 3B-3C . Frontispiece, engravings in the text and charts, drawn by E L Percy and engraved by Caroline Clayton. Bibliographic references; Index. Second Edition, enlarged; (first published 1824). Gabler notes "The first edition... was the first publication on this subject in English.  The second edition... is more complete"; greatly expanded from the first edition of 1824 and including sections on opium and other intoxicating drugs around the world. Samuel Morewood was a Collector of Excise in Dublin Ireland. Often quoted on the etymology of the term "Rum", and on questions of "Usquebaugh" production in Ireland and Scotland, Morewood's treatise discusses in depth the fermentations and distillations of cultures current and historical around the world. For example, there is a detailed analysis of Irish and Scottish distillation, alcohol consumption and revenue; an explanation of sake, sochu, and similar national alcoholic drinks throughout Asia, the Pacific, the Americas and Africa; and an examination of liquors throughout Europe (as well as wine and beer). There is a detailed discussion of alcohol consumption in the colony of New South Wales noting the consequences of alcohol for the local indigenous peoples of Sydney, the beginnings of the Temperance movement in Australia and the economic case for domestic production of alcohol. Morewood notes Busby's efforts to import vine cuttings, the early history of brewing in Sydney and provides a survey of the literature and legislation on the subject leading up to 1838. The illustrator Caroline Millard (née Clayton; d. 1894), was a successful wood engraver and water-colourist in Dublin. An exhaustive and fascinating work representing years of research. Internally clean and sound. In publisher's green cloth, gilt-decorated and titled at the spine with some fading to various panels. Near fine. A handsome copy of a work that has been used to formulate and revive ancient and traditional drinks today. Scarce in commerce. [Gabler G31320; cf. G31310; Noling 296; Simon BV 8; Simon BG 104].

Description
London: Simpkin & Marshall, 1852. FIRST EDITION. 153 x 102 mm. (6 x 4"). 64 pp. Publisher's deluxe red pebble-grain morocco, gilt, covers with graceful Romantic-style frame, central panel of upper cover with gilt lettering, that of lower cover with gilt ornament, spine blind-stamped to resemble raised bands, panels with gilt ornament, gilt turn-ins, pale yellow endpapers, all edges gilt. With title page vignette, frontispiece portrait of Wellington, and three full-page engravings of battles. Printed entirely in gilt on "enamel" gloss paper. Front free endpaper with faint pencilled signature. Binding very slightly soiled, joints and extremities a little rubbed, trivial soiling to front endpapers, otherwise quite a fine copy, the text entirely clean, fresh, and bright, with sparkling gold. This now-scarce, luxuriously produced little volume celebrates the life and military achievements of Arthur Wellesley, Field Marshall and 1st Duke of Wellington, perhaps the most widely admired Briton of the 19th century--and does so in glittering fashion. The key facts of Wellington's life and the decisive battles of his storied career are related here in sparkling gold text and images on alabaster white pages. Poet laureate Tennyson's funerary ode described Wellington (1769-1852) as "the last great Englishman," and his death evoked great mourning in response to his life of public service. DNB notes that his defeat of Napoleon at Waterloo, crushing the emperor's ambition for European dominance, put him in a class of his own: "No man, certainly no Briton, had ever been in such a situation before in Europe, the object of universal hero-worship and gratitude." Wellington was particularly notable among senior military officers for his determination to lead his troops on the frontline in battle. The three battles depicted in the illustrations here attest to this: in "The Battle of Assaye," we see him on horseback (two horses were shot from under him during the conflict), wielding his sword as he bears down on enemy cannon. At the "Battle of Vittoria," he is shown leading the infantry to face the enemy, with bayonet fixed. And in the decisive "Battle of Waterloo" scene, he is once again with the cavalry, wheeling to attack the advancing French. The frontispiece shows Wellington astride his famed horse, Copenhagen, who was his mount at Waterloo. Our volume concludes with a chronology of principal events in the duke's life. It is notable that such a handsome memorial work was produced so quickly after Wellington's sudden death on 14 September 1852: a contemporary ad in Bent's Literary Advertiser notes our title was published on 15 November, three days before Wellington's state funeral on the 18th. Copies of this work are rare: we could trace no auction sales, and OCLC records only seven copies, just one in North America..
