Description
London: Henry Colburn, 1845. First edition. Very Good. Large duodecimo. 2 works in 6 volumes. Contemporary dark blue half morocco gilt, top edge gilt. Lithographic frontispiece to each volume (hand-colored in volume 1 of the Memoirs), a folding plan and woodcut illustrations in-text. Extremities with some wear, a little further scuffing to volume 1 of the Memoirs. A little foxing internally but generally a very clean example. Both works are rarely found together in first edition, especially in a matching, contemporary binding. A Very Good set. "No one really knew quite who Lady Hester was (was she perhaps the daughter of the king of England?) but everyone knew that she was a great personage and must be treated as such" (ODNB). A niece of William Pitt, Lady Stanhope (1776-1839) travelled with her physician Charles Meryon in 1810 via Malta to Constantinople and then on to Egypt. There she was received with honours by Muhammad 'Ali Pasha, subsequently touring the Holy Land and Lebanon. Most notably during this time she was crowned 'Queen of the Desert' at Palmyra. From thereon she lived in Sidon and Dar Jun in Lebanon, apparently developing a serious interest in the occult and housing refugees during Ibrahim Pasha's siege of Acre in 1831-2. Meryon had returned to England in 1817, however visited her in 1819, 1830 and 1837, documenting her changing circumstances. His accounts value cannot be overstated, as it stood as the only eyewitness account of her remarkable life. "Despite their diffuseness the Memoirs make excellent reading . . . Meryon describes with utmost minuteness her complicated oriental environment, her tyranny, and her in terminable conversations . . . with an almost Boswellian power of self-effacement" (DNB, cited after Blackmer). Blackmer 1117. Very Good.

Red cloth boards. Very good, in good dust wrapper
Description
New York: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1973. First edition. Hardcover. Red cloth boards. Very good, in good dust wrapper. 211 pages. 24.5 x 15 cm. Presentation copy, warmly inscribed to Yogi Berra: "Dearest Yogi and Family - These 'Pots' will send the Ball over the Fence. With love - your ever-lovin' sister & Umpire, Pearl." Actress, singer, and born raconteur, Pearl Bailey brought her gift for storytelling to the kitchen in this exuberant blend of recipes, reminiscence, and philosophy. This copy carries an especially appealing association: Bailey's friendship with baseball great Yogi Berra. A devoted New York Mets fan, she attended Game 5 of the 1969 World Series - (Berra then serving as first base coach) - and she was famously captured on film shouting, "Did he hit him?! Oh, it's amazin' - AMAZIN'!" Her excitement and personality featured prominently in the official highlight reel of that championship series. Bailey's rapport with the team continued after their historic win. During the ticker-tape parade that followed, she performed in Bryant Park, near the New York Public Library, in front of a crowd of thousands. As The New York Times (Oct. 21, 1969) recalled, she appeared "dressed in a black suit and black hat fringed with fun," joining Metropolitan Opera baritone Robert Merrill sing a lively duet of "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," with broadcaster Ralph Kiner lending commentary. Part memoir, part cookbook, Pearl's Kitchen invites the reader into Bailey's home - its rhythms, humor, and heart. Her recipes come suffused with song and story, a reflection of her singular warmth both onstage and off. A lovely presentation copy linking two American originals. Interior clean. Boards toned. Dust wrapper toned and chipped at edges, with small closed tear to front cover. Covered in protective mylar.
