Description
London: J. Bowles, P. Overton, T. Bowles, John King, 1740. Hand-coloured engraving. Repaired loss to bottom left corner outside neat line with facsimile border. Trimmed to platemark in places in top margin. Three vertical creases where map was folded into atlas. Multiple creases parallel to center fold. Splits in vertical folds have been rebacked. A superb map of France during the reign of Louis XV. This large, marvellous Moll map of France bears his distinctive style and the fruits of his diligence. There is a lengthy, alphabetical index of more than 280 towns giving their distances from Paris as well as names and locations of passes through the Pyrenees. The source for this information was Nicolas de Fer. The depiction of France itself includes the roads and the distances from point to point on those roads in leagues, a relatively new feature in maps. Also noted, by a sword and date, are battle sites in which the English were involved or "mentioned in History" as he puts it. The cartouche includes two emblematic figures dressed for battle, one, Bacchus perhaps, the god of wine, and one loosely draped in a cloth adorned with fleur-de-lys who seems to represent French Royalty and, indirectly, French culture.

Description
London: Cassell & Company Limited, 1952. . 8vo, blue cloth, somewhat rubbed, with Gosse's "The Sow's Ear Lending Library | Cambridge | Librarian P. Goose" large bookplate on the front free endpaper FIRST EDITION. The bookplate is bright yellow and large 2 3/4 x 5 1/8 inches and is obviously intended to dissuade lenders from forgetting to return a volume. ACCOMPANIED BY Gosse's copy of the page proofs bound in green book-cloth, with the bookplate of Raymond and Pamela Lister, (Raymond was the owner of the Golden Head Press) lacking all inserted illustrations and having editorial (in red) and authorial (blue ink) corrections throughout. Pasted to the front endpaper is a TLs, dated August 1, 1951 from Gosse's editor at Cassell asking him to check various pages and make necessary corrections. There appear to be two hands in blue ink, one of which is definitely Gosse's. As one might expect, at so late a stage in the production of the book, the corrections are mostly of an accidental nature: capitalization, punctuation, leading, etc., but there are a few necessary substantive alterations that correct facts and in some cases clean up the grammer
