    Edition: Reprint

    Oxon: Printed at the Theater, 1676. The second edition of this work. Full leather. The boards are contemporary blind stamped calf.

    Condition: The spine is new and immaculate - the boards are firm and in good condition, with just a little rubbing to the edges. To the inside board, an early bookplate has been obliterated - presumably by a later owner. Signature of Baron Pretyman to the title page - further signature to the rear end paper. There are a number of notes to the inside board, which have been comprehensively eradicated to as to be impossible to read. Otherwise, the book is in very nice, clean condition, with just a touch of foxing to some pages.

  • Euphormionis Lusinini, Sive Satyricon, in sex partes dispertitum, et notis illustratum, cum clavi. by BARCLAII, Johannes [Barclay, John]
    BARCLAII, Johannes [Barclay, John]
    Euphormionis Lusinini, Sive Satyricon, in sex partes dispertitum, et notis illustratum, cum clavi. Accessit Conspiratio Angelicana. Editio nova.

    Vindobonensis [Vienna, Wien]: Impensis Joannis Pauli Krauss, 1772. First Thus. Half leather with textured boards. Six raised panels with contemporary gilt decoration. Hand printed endpapers. All page edges red. [24], 728 pages. 205 x 130 mm (8 x 5 inches). Encyclopaedia Britannica says: "Barclay's Euphormionis Lusinini Satyricon - a severe satire on the Jesuits, the medical profession, and contemporary scholarship, education, and literature - is modeled on the style of the Roman satirist Gaius Petronius Arbiter; it is an urbane and facile mixture of prose and verse. Filled with villains and rogues, it contributed to the later development of the picaresque novel".

    Condition: Boards and spine are in a good condition, with only light rubbing. Corners and edges lightly bumped. Inside, there is a Hungarian library bookplate to front, and a couple of small Hungarian library stamps. Title page has some ink handwritten notes, and an area that looks like it has been scorched by a candle. Otherwise, some sporadic foxing, but generally very good for its age.

    The Philosophy of Bergson by RUSSELL, Bertrand
    RUSSELL, Bertrand
    The Philosophy of Bergson

    Cambridge: Published for "The Heretics" by Bowes and Bowes, 1914. First edition. In 1911, Bergson had visited Britain for a series of lectures which led to his increasing popularity. In this, Bertrand Russell writes critically of his work - having first attended Bergson's lecture at University College London. 36 (1) pp.
    230 mm x 145 mm (9 x 5¾ inches). Henri-Louis Bergson (1859–1941) was a French-Jewish philosopher who was influential in the tradition of continental philosophy, especially during the first half of the 20th century until WW2. Bergson is known for his arguments that processes of immediate experience and intuition are more significant than abstract rationalism and science, for understanding reality.

    Condition: In blue/grey paper covers, with small loss to bottom right of front. Spine is a little chipped with a tear to the top. Internally clean, with some page darkening.
