Umschlagentwurf: Hannsbernd Lindemann, unter Verwendung eines Fotos des Ullstein Bilderdienstes, "Forresters wohl bekanntester Roman."(Klappentext) Romanvorlage zum John-Houston-Film mit Humphrey Bogart und Katherine Hepburn "-falls ihr ihn auf Kassette habt, laßt den Videorecorder in der Ecke, Freunde, lest das Buch, und erlebt diese phantastisch geschriebene Story wie neu."- 1914, der Erste Weltkrieg ist ausgebrochen. ALLNUTT, der englische Bergwerksmechaniker, und Rose, die Schwester eines englischen Missionars, sind mit dem Panzerschlachtschiff Afric. Queen (oder war's ein Zerstörer?) "auf dem Weg zum großen See am Rande Deutsch-Afrikas (den die Briten Viktoriasee nannten), wo sie das den See kontrollierende deutsche Kanonenboot KÖNIGIN LUISE torpedieren wollen. Ihr Weg, das ist der Ulanga mit seinen STROMschnellen, die NIE ZUVOR eine Barkasse bezwang, mit seinen Inseln voller Mücken (Moskitos), mit seinem von malariaverseuchten Mangrovensümpfen überzogenen Flußdelta." Rose wählte CSF als Name für die liebenswerte Hauptperson mit ihren liebenswerten Eigenarten. Nicht minder angepaßt ist der verrückte Allnutte - ob es ein Zufall ist, daß 'all nuts' auf englisch 'ganz verrückt' bedeutet? - 1948 erschien in anderer Übersetzung eine andere deutschsprachige (Schweizer) Ausgabe, die Rechte der OA hatte seit 1946 CSF; leichte papierbedingte Bräunung, innen sauber, keine Eintragungen oder Markierungen, Ebd. fest; sofort lieferbar.

See Parris's entry in the Oxford DNB. The subject of the letter is his work 'restoring' James Thornhill's paintings inside the dome of St Paul's Cathedral. Beginning in 1853 and ending three years later, Parris worked on scaffolding he had designed for the purpose thirty years before. His efforts were not well received: he was accused of completely repainting Thornhill's work, to its detriment. 1p, 12mo. In good condition, lightly aged and creased, with minor traces of mount adhering to the blank reverse. Folded twice. Having received the recipient's 'favor', he begins by sending his 'regards to Mr and Mrs Hall', i.e. Samuel Carter Hall (1800-1889), editor of the of the Art Journal and New Monthly Magazine, and his wife Anna Maria Hall (1800-1881). From the context of the letter it would appear that Duffane has requested information for an article for one of the two magazines of which Hall is editor. He is sending 'a very rough & hastily scrawl'd account of my apparatus &c at St Pauls, which You may perhaps distil something from'. He points out that the account he is sending 'is quite different from what has recently appear'd in the Times &c'. He feels that 'the shortest notice will be most advisable', but asks him to 'make what You please out of it'. The letter ends: 'I am at the Cathedral every day and shall be glad to shew You all particulars if you will enquire for me any time you are passing'.

Margins of some plates moderately foxed (less so in Part II) with browning offset to facing text: see more on condition of plates below.** Despite any drawbacks, this remains a nice copy of an important and popular work by Lichfield and Derby English AUTHOR, poet and physician ERASMUS DARWIN(1731-April, 18, 1802) which synthesized the foment of 18th cent. Enlightenment ideas of science with revolutionary and Romantic themes in art, particularly showcasing the work of Swedish botanist and father of taxonomy Carl Linnaeus. Industrial discussion of hemp, cotton, and clay are interwoven with racy-sounding verse on methods of plant reproduction. He first voices the idea of evolution in both the plant and animal world in the 1793 first edit. of Part I, in one of his many digressions, found in a note for Curcumin, (Part I, Canto I, line 65); a remark for which many account the life's work on the Theory of Evolution by his grandson, Charles Darwin. (A poetic fascination with Gnomes in Part I may have had something to with the convivial nature of his various scientific and literary gatherings; he was apparently prone to gout and both the London Johnson bookstore soirees and meetings of the scientific Birmingham Lunar Society were quite liquacious in nature.) **COLLATION: Section I.

Tinted lithograph 15 x 22.6 cm, 22.8 x 28.8 cm (sheet), edges a little age-toned, small stain affecting the margin of one upper corner, lower edge ragged, but the image in very good condition. A view of Commodore Perry's fleet at anchor in Napha, Lew Chew, (Ryukyu) Japan, prepared for the official account "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan.". The expedition visited the then independent kingdom of Lew Chew (Ryukyu) in 1854, where famously Perry signed a trade agreement on July 11th. In 1875 Japan posted a military garrison in Lew Chew, annexing the Islands in 1879. Perry's Narrative dwells on all aspects of Lew Chew life, with keen interest in their commerce and manufactured goods.

Tinted lithograph with added hand colour heightened with gum arabic, border with later ink rule, 15.1 x 23 cm, 19.8 x 26.2 cm (sheet), lower margin a little ragged, minor spotting to the margins, but in very good condition. A picturesque view of Macau from Penha hill, attractively coloured, prepared for Commodore Perry's "Narrative of the Expedition of an American Squadron to the China Seas and Japan." (1856). The text notes: "It was from Macao, in the days of its opulence, that many of the commercial expeditions of the Portuguese were dispatched to Japan; and at Macao, too, the church of Rome had one of its most powerful ecclesiastical establishments, sustained by the dread might of the inquisition, which, in former times, exercised in the east the full force of its dark and cruel discipline. Now, however, the opulence and enterprise of its merchants are gone, and the awful dominion of the haughty ecclesiastics and their bloody tribunal has lapsed into the weak hands of a few impoverished priests, who meekly appeal to the pity, and barely live upon the bounty, of the reduced Portuguese population. " (Vol. I, p. 299).
