Description
1775. Scarce 1775 English Abridgment of Excise Laws Symons, J[ellinger]. The Excise Laws Abridged, and Digested Under Their Proper Heads, in Alphabetical Order. London: Printed for J. Nourse, 1775. xiv, [2], 264 pp. Octavo (8" x 5"). Contemporary calf, blind rules to boards, raised bands and later lettering piece to spine. Moderate rubbing to extremities, chipping to head of spine, boards beginning to separate (but quite secure). Light toning to text, somewhat heavier in places, annotated throughout in an early hand. Ex-library. Stamps to boards, edges and endleaves, bookplate to front pastedown, small perforated stamp to title page. A solid copy of a scarce title. $350. * Second and final edition, "greatly enlarged and improved." Symons's guide for solicitors and excise officers was first published in 1773. The statutes are arranged alphabetically by topic. "The statutes were becoming too numerous, and their connections too intricate to be understood by men of such slender abilities as a great part of those whom the Commissioners of Excise, through the smallness of the salary, were obliged to admit into their employ; and the leisure time which their employment allowed them was too little for those of greater abilities to make any proficiency in the study of them. With a view therefore to assist them I abstracted, collected together, and digested all the laws relating to the excise, under such heads, and in such order, as seemed most likely to answer that end" (Preface, vii-viii). The annotations in this copy appear to be case citations. Both editions are scarce. OCLC locates 2 copies in North American law library (University of Victoria, British Columbia, which has the second edition).

Description
1904. London: Archibald Constable and Company, 1904. 16 pp undated ads. Original deep red cloth. First Edition, which consisted of 3,000 copies. This was Gissing's incomplete historical novel, posthumously published. He still had five chapters to write when on 28 December 1903, wracked with double pneumonia, he died in the French Pyrenees. H.G. Wells, who had been summoned and had arrived on Christmas Day, was present at Gissing's death bed, and wrote the original preface for this work; however, the Gissing family objected to it so strongly that one by Frederic Harrison was substituted. (Wells published his in a periodical anyway). Constable made no objection to publishing the novel as it stood... [S&C]. VERANILDA takes place in Ancient Rome, continuing Gissing's fascination with that country (and that era); he spent four months in 1897-1898 preparing for this book. In late 1900 he wrote to his friend Eduard Bertz, "I really think I can make an interesting book. One thing is certain -- I know my period...". This is a very good-plus, perhaps near-fine copy with minor soil and rubbing. Coustillas A26.1a; Collie B1a; Spiers & Coustillas DD9. Provenance: this copy appropriately came to us from Italy, and bears the inscription "To Distinctissima, Signora, Contessa, Marianna Brenzoni, in remembrance of S.S. "Irma" July, 1909 -- from R.W.R."; loosely inserted is the calling card "Mr. R.W. Robins" with "with" and " ' compts." added.
