    There is an anonymous biographical memoir of Hingston at the beginning of the book, written in a rather florid, late Victorian style. It is recorded here that she died in a tragic boating accident in 1907. In fact, her death was the result of a suicide pact, agreed with her fiancee Shirley Davidson, the son of Sir Charles Peers Davidson, Chief Justice of the Quebec Supreme Court. He refused to allow the marriage, as Aileen was a Roman Catholic. Ironically, in 1912, another son, Thornton Davidson - Shirley's older brother, was to die on the Titanic.

    Fulignio: Antonio Mariotti, 1682. First edition. Original publishers paper covered boards. Recent buckram spine. Title on a paper label to the spine. The book contains forty sermons by Mattioli. There are numerous woodcut vignettes, historiated capitals and other designs. Title (end papers look newer, although still quite old), dedication, imprimatur, author note, subject index, twenty sermons, biblical index, index of notable things, printer's register. NB - the text is entirely in Italian. The publisher's paper boards have a few minor stains to them. The spine is new, and is in "as new" condition. The end papers (and inside board lining) looks newer, but has a watermark of a bird on three mountains. I have traced this back to three items, all bound in Italy between 1650 and 1690 - so they probably are original. The title page has some darkening / foxing to it, the rest of the pages have a touch of darkening / marking. The binding has slightly cracked to register +, but is still holding well. A couple of the pages have closed tears, where they have strained to the binding, and the rear end paper has a loss of about 1 inch square. Otherwise sound. There is only one copy recorded at Copac (BL). There are a small number held in Italy. At the time of writing this, there are no other copies available, and none recently sold. There is a digitised copy of part of a first edition (up to p 184) (held at the Bavarian State Library). This has an ornate additional page (in the style of a title). I believe this is a later large bookplate. There are two reasons for this. Although the digitisation makes it hard to certain, this looks like a steel engraving, it is certainly in a different style to any of the woodcuts. Additionally, my copy, which is complete, has its complete register, and so is not lacking any pages. [xvi], 1-512, i-xxvii pp. 23cm x 17cm Première édition. Plats d'édition originaux recouverts de papier. Dos récent en percaline. Titre sur une étiquette papier au dos. Le livre contient quarante sermons de Mattioli. Il existe de nombreuses vignettes gravées sur bois, des chapiteaux historiés et d'autres dessins. Titre (les pages paraissent plus récentes, quoique encore assez anciennes), dédicace, imprimatur, note de l'auteur, index des sujets, vingt sermons, index biblique, index des choses notables, registre de l'imprimeur. NB - le texte est entièrement en italien. Les cartons de l'éditeur présentent quelques taches mineures. Le dos est neuf et est dans un état "comme neuf". Les papiers de garde (et la doublure intérieure du carton) ont l'air plus récents, mais ont un filigrane d'un oiseau sur trois montagnes. J'ai retracé cela jusqu'à trois objets, tous reliés en Italie entre 1650 et 1690 - ils sont donc probablement originaux. La page de titre présente des assombrissements / rousseurs, le reste des pages a une touche d'assombrissement / marquage. La reliure s'est légèrement craquelée au registre +, mais tient toujours bien. Quelques pages ont des déchirures fermées, où elles ont tendu à la reliure, et le papier de fin arrière a une perte d'environ 1 pouce carré. Sinon le son. Il n'y a qu'un seul exemplaire enregistré chez Copac (BL). Il y en a un petit nombre détenu en Italie. Au moment d'écrire ces lignes, il n'y a pas d'autres exemplaires disponibles et aucun n'a été vendu récemment. Il existe une copie numérisée d'une partie d'une première édition (jusqu'à la p 184) (conservée à la Bibliothèque d'État de Bavière). Cela a une page supplémentaire ornée (dans le style d'un titre). Je crois qu'il s'agit d'un grand ex-libris ultérieur. Il y a deux raisons à cela. Bien que la numérisation rende difficile à certains, cela ressemble à une gravure sur acier, c'est certainement dans un style différent de l'une des gravures sur bois. De plus, mon exemplaire, qui est complet, a son registre complet et ne manque donc pas de pages. [xvi], 1-512, i-xxvii pp. 23cm x 17cm

Internally clean and tidy with intermittent foxing only. This copy bears the ownership signature of Captain La Roche. Probably Henry La Roche, of Halberton, Devon. Captain of the Royal Navy and J.P. He had served in various vessels during the wars with France from 1792, obtaining the rank of Commander in 1804 and Post Captain in 1806. He died in Devon in 1832. See Gentleman's Magazine. Vol 102, Pt. 1. 1832. 24 pages.
    Although a Church of England curate, Jones (1791-1857) was strongly in favour of Catholic Emancipation. As he put it, he would "rather drag out my existence within the walls of a dungeon, than give up the maintenance of the sacred cause of HUMAN LIBERTY." Such opinions cost him advancement in the church, although the Earl of Shrewsbury eventually gave him a benefice. Jones was born at Chudleigh, Devon, where no doubt he was aware at least of the Clifford family. Jones was also an antiquarian, writing several books on the history, and natural history of Devon.
