Hardcover. 8vo. pp x, 486. Some illus. With notes scribbled by John Osborne on the front and rear endpaper. The book came from the library of the playwright. It has a posthumous book label reading 'From The Library of the Hurst. The John Osborne Arvon Centre Shropshire.' The Hurst was his final residence - a large country house, now a cultural centre owned by the Arvon foundation. The writings are Osborne's notes to himself about changes possibly needed (or not) in his life.The connection with Osborne and Madame de Stael is obscure. Osborne appears never to have referred to her in a play. He has a few notes about her on the rear endpaper: 'How that girl plays at sensibility writing letters from room to room.' He notes a quotation from Voltaire about Diderot: 'No one has ever written more amusingly on famine.' He also highlights something that Madame de Stael wrote to her husband -'What I love about noise is that it camouflages life.' His biographer writes that Osborne had a life-long hatred of noise, often writing complaining letters about it. This action list /cri de coeur probably comes from a period in the 1980s when he was at a low ebb, especially as his film production company (Woodfall) which had (1970s) made a fortune from the worldwide success of Tom Jones (he wrote the script) appeared to be in a serious financial mess. The endpaper notes read: 1. Sex 2. Desire to work 3. No desire to work 4. Whether to give up work altogether. 5. Desire to do something else altogether. Pure leisure e.g. 6. Decision to give up drink 7. Decision to go on drinking and resign to an early grave. 8. Decision to change way of life and live sober/ industrious (illegible) life dedicated to self-improvement and tough grappling with all problems mostly (illegible) 9. Give up Woodfall 10. Not give up Woodfall for reasons of sentiment, cowardice and expenditure 11. Seek new place in which to lead better, less wasteful life 12. Stay put 13. Go on holiday. 14. Stay put. 15. No. More (illegible - cats?) Very good with some faint wear and some slight fading.

London: Assignes of John More, Esquire, 1638. Ilustrador. London: Assignes of John More, Esquire, 1638. A Classic English Work on Equity and the Philosophy of Law that Influenced Blackstone [Saint German (Germain), Christopher]. The Dialogue in English, Betweene a Doctor of Divinitie, And a Student in the Lawes of England. Newly Corrected and Imprinted with New Additions. [London]: Printed by the Assignes of John More, Esquire, 1638. 176, [4] ff. Octavo (5-1/2" x 3"). Recent quarter morocco over marbled boards, raised bands, gilt fillets, gilt title and date to spine, edges rouged, endpapers renewed. Light rubbing to extremities, light offsetting to endleaves. Title printed within typographical border. Moderate toning to text, somewhat heavier in places, light chipping and edgewear to some leaves with no loss to text, light foxing (or spotting) and soiling to a few leaves, faint dampstaining to top-edge of first few leaves, corners of title page mended, ownership signature (of John Frederick Bowman) dated 1870 to title page with early annotations in a different hand to title page and pp. 61 and 129. $400. * Later edition. With the second dialogue. Written originally in Latin in 1523 and cast in dialogic form, this was the first work to study the role of equity in common law and, by its nature, was the first jurisprudential work written in England. It also considers the relative merits of common, canon and civil law, the nature and object of law, the religious and moral standards of law, the foundations of the common law and issues regarding the jurisdiction of Parliament. Doctor and Student appeared in numerous editions. An authority well into the eighteenth century, it influenced several writers, including Blackstone. The inscription dated 1870 on the title-page likely indicates the ownership of the young John Frederick Bowman (1850-1914), soon to become a solicitor in London. His father was the great British anatomist and surgeon Sir William Bowman, 1st Baronet (1816-1892). A classic example of an edifying book, this is just the kind of volume that a Victorian father might gift to a youthful son. English Short-Title Catalogue S116404.
