1884. Steel-engraved portrait frontispiece and 10 other plates, 2 further illustrations. Fifth edition. 8vo., original green cloth gilt over bevelled boards. London, Smith, Elder & Co. A presentation copy, inscribed on the second front free endpaper 'To Major F. Wingate C.B., D.S.O. Royal Artillery from Victoria RI. Balmoral Oct: 12. 1895'. Francis Reginald Wingate, born 1861, died 1953, married Catherine Leslie Rundle in 1888, and they had four children, Queen Victoria being Godmother to one of their daughters. Wingate, who was always known as Reginald, enjoyed a truly extraordinary career in the military. A fluent Arabic speaker, he was involved in several of Britain's Middle East adventures, from the Dervish uprising in the Sudan, to his role in the ending of the Ottoman Empire. He was in the party sent to relieve General Gordon, was intelligence officer to Kitchener, and was active in organising the Arab Revolt against the Turks, T.E. Lawrence being one of his subordinates. He was successively Governor General of the Sudan, and after the first world war the High Commissioner of Egypt. In 1897 he was made an extra ADC to the Queen. A very good, bright copy, largely unopened. [Attributes: Signed Copy; Hard Cover]

An attempt to publish a Polish translation was made as early as 1873. This was, however, never completed and only half of the work was published (Freeman 739), thus making the present copy the very first full Polish translation. <br>As seen in several other countries (especially in Japan) the majority of Polish intellectuals adopted a Social Darwinism perspective at a very early stage, rather than appreciating the English naturalist's caution in applying his ideas to human society.<br><br>"Before the first translations of Darwin's appeared [...], many Polish intellectuals, such as positivist writer Eliza Orzeszkowa (1841-1910) complained about the increasing confusion over the essence of the English naturalist's ideas, which had all too often been mixed up with all sorts of ideological debates. However, when Darwin's books were actually available in Polish translations, the novelty of his concepts gradually wore off, making room for more serious attempts to come to terms with evolutionary theory."

1884. Rare to find this work complete, in 12 volumes. A fascinating piece of European history for those interested in Ancient Greece, or indeed the author and politician, George Grote. Born in Kent in 1794, Grote was a English classical historian, best known for his work 'A History of Greece'. Passionate about Politics, he was considered somewhat of a radical, taking a keen interest in John Stuart Mill's Utilitarian Society. Indeed his first published work was entitled 'Statement of the Question of Parliamentary Reform', and called for radical changes to the British political system. He would later serve three parliaments as an MP before the support in his party 'The Philosophical Radicals' subsided, and he eventually resigned. The bookplate of English baronet 'Sir Fresham Lever, Bt' to front pastedown of each volume. Bound by Mudie, with binders stamp to the reverse of the front endpaper of each volume. Collated complete, with all folding maps present and in excellent condition. CONDITION In a uniform full calf binding, with gilt detailng. Externally, smart. Rubbing to the head and tail of the spine, raised bands, joints and extremities. This has resulted in a small amount of loss to the front and rear board of all volumes, heaviest to the front board of volume X, toward the front joint. Previous owners bookplate to the front pastedown of each volume. Internally firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, with the odd spot throughout each volume. Binder stamp to the reverse of the front endpaper of each volume. Overall Condition: Very Good Indeed.

This 1884 Wisden is in it's original wrappers and is at least good condition. As can be seen from the photograph the front cover has the odd mark and crease and in particular there is a slight stain to the bottom left hand corner of the wrapper. The rear wrapper is in very good condition with just the odd crease and mark. The spine has had a little restoration to it - not a facsimile but simply a little strenthening. Internally, the contents are in very good condition - complete, original and unmarked. A nice copy. [Attributes: Soft Cover]

Follows the twenty first American edition of 1883, except for the following: printed on laid paper, without the battered 'THE END' on the final page, with two integral pages of advertisements at the rear, and new integral title and content pages.

Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington, London, 1884. First edition of this comprehensive Victorian guide to book illustration, featuring twenty-four specimens of modern print processes. A printer by trade, Hodson notes that popular techniques of illustration developed more rapidly in the nineteenth century than in the prior three hundred years of print history, and offers a practical guide to current methods, "including those which are mechanical and chemical, as well as those which are based upon the application of the discoveries of photography." The plates include original examples of traditional illustration processes (line engraving, etching), as well as newer ones like chromolithography, zincography, heliotype, and Woodburytype. This copy is inscribed by the author in the year of publication, and includes an autograph letter signed by Hodson: "I have much pleasure in asking your acceptance of a copy of my book on 'Art Illustration,' & at the same time to thank you for your valuable contribution.' A crisp, near-fine copy of an uncommon book, inscribed by the author. Single volume, measuring 8.5 x 5.5 inches: [8], 224, [6], 32.

1884. Rare to find this work complete, in 12 volumes. A fascinating piece of European history for those interested in Ancient Greece, or indeed the author and politician, George Grote. Born in Kent in 1794, Grote was a English classical historian, best known for his work 'A History of Greece'. Passionate about Politics, he was considered somewhat of a radical, taking a keen interest in John Stuart Mill's Utilitarian Society. Indeed his first published work was entitled 'Statement of the Question of Parliamentary Reform', and called for radical changes to the British political system. He would later serve three parliaments as an MP before the support in his party 'The Philosophical Radicals' subsided, and he eventually resigned.
