[003070] Dugdale, William. “The Baronage of England, or an Historical Account of the Lives and most Memorable Actions of Our English Nobility”.
London: Thomas Newcomb, for Abel Roper, John Martin, and Henry Herringman......1675 and 1676. First Edition. Crown folio (35 cm x 24 cm). Three volumes complete in two. Matching full leather original bindings. All edges gilt decorated. 790 pp and 488 pp. Tome 1. 1675. “In the Saxons Time, to the Norman Conquest, and from thence, of those who had their Rise Before the End of King Henry the Third's Reign”. Spine and boards detached. 80% of original spine preserved. Text block tight and completely fox free. Title pages printed in red and black. Two pages of printed Index bound in. Tome 2. 1676. “After the End of King Henry the Third's reign. And Before the Eleventh Year of King Richard the Second”. Top board detached. Spine detached, 60% preserved. Text block tight and fox free. Three page of printed Index bound in.
What is exceptional is that the second volume has two secondary Indices in contemporary manuscript bound in at the rear, as follows: 15 sheets manuscript (names and references: A-Z) + 17 blanks + 16 sheets manuscript (names and references: A-Z) + 2 blanks. We believe these to be the separate, more detailed, Indices to the two volumes (62 sides manuscript versus 10 sides printed). These Indices are written on hand laid paper, and each sheet bears the watermark "V1".
Tome 1 has "The Most Material Mistakes...." bound in, one sheet one side. Tome 2 has "Errata Sic Corrigenda" bound in, one sheet one side. The volumes contain many fold-out lineage sheets. We believe this to be an important primary source with possibly additional manuscript information to that in the printed text. A super restoration project. Heavy at 7 kgms plus, with packing.

[002918] Quaritch (edits).. Ye Sette of Odd Volumes (a Reference Collection of 136 volumes)... London.: Quaritch. Ye Sette of Odd Volumes., First Editions.. We offer this as a unique "Reference Collection" of publications of Ye Sette of Odd Volumes, comprising one each of one hundred and thirty-six separate items. Mainly early years: 1880-1900. Sixteen "Year Bokes"., Ten "Miscellanies"., Thirty-Two "Opuscula"., Twenty-One items of "Unlisted Ephemera"., Fifty-Seven "Annual Booklets". The collection contains such rarities as a copy of "B.Q", Volume 1 of the Opuscula, dated 1880, one of the first printing of only twenty-five copies and from the provence, most likely Bernard Quaritch's own copy. And one each of the two states of Volume 11, the "Year-Boke" for 1889-90. The extremely rare first printing of ninety-nine copies was recalled from the membership and suppressed due to libel. Where we have more than one copy, the best one has been selected in every case. The provenance for this collection is Quaritch's society office holdings for Ye Sette (several are marked "Office Copy" and many show editorial annotation and office pricing and numbering in pencil). We are offering this one collection complete. [n.b. a very nice discussion of these remarkable miniature volumes (dumpy 12mos) can be found as Chapter X of George Williamson's "Behind my Library Door". This consists of a fascinating eleven page article on the society, and much bibliographic detail on its publications and rarities (but only up to 1921)]. We welcome enquiries for this collection. Space precludes giving more detail here on individual titles]. £1,950.00

[002644] Crowley, Aleister.. The Golden Book. Vols 1, 11 & 111 (part).. .
First Edition. . Very Good. N.p., n.d. but London, and in fact privately printed for Crowley at the Chiswick Press, c1909. Small 16mo. Top covers gold blocked with Egyptian ornamentation and Crowley's glyph symbolism (see enlarged image).Three volumes of three. 14.5cm x 10 cm. Title pages and all text blocks in black and gold. Each page gold blocked on vellum. Each vellum leaf folded once giving four sides. All sides paginated. All folded vellum sheets paginated but loosely inserted.
Each volume of text (3) reads on the last page "The full knowledge of the interpretation of this book is concealed from all save only the Sixfold Star. The Neophyte must nevertheless acquire a copy and thoroughly acquaint himself with the contents. He must commit one chapter to memory. This copy belongs to...............(in our copies this line is blank). By authority of V.V.V.V.V., this book is published and issued. The price, ten guineas, is to be remitted to the Treasurer, through the Zelator introducing". [So...a total price of 30 guineas for the three volumes in c 1909. This translates to a current value of around £2000, (based on the R.P.I)., or £10,000 to £12,000 approx, based on average earnings!].
Gold blocked cover title transliterated, from the Greek (?): "Thelema". Title page of each volume verso reads: "Publication in Class A. Imprimatur. V.V.V.V.V. D.D.S., O.M., Pro. Coll. Summ. V.N., P., P.A., Pro.Coll.Ext. O.S.V.Imp.". [From the Golden Dawn Roll Call......we see "O.M" and "P. (Perdurabo)" are in fact Aleister Crowley., and "V.N." is George Cecil Jones (Volo Noscere)]. The other abbreviations are unknown to us. Title and text block, in black and gold. V. 1. Liber LXI vel Causae. Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente LXV -- V. 11. Liber liberi lapis lazuli -- v. 3. Liber L vel Legis. Liber Trigamnation. Liber DCCCXIII vel Ararita. Handwritten on the ffep of Vol. 11 is the line "Comments are copied from A.C.s own copy". From the provenence, and by comparison with known manuscript, we know this to be in the hand of Golden Dawn member Israel Regardie (A.M.A.G. "Ad Majorem Adonai Gloriam". d: 1985, and at one time, secretary to Crowley). There are no additional annotations to the text, but one other vellum fep has nine lines of handwritten notes on contents in Regardie's hand, several of which are then struck out. Referring our copies to the only copy we can locate (Copac: University of London - ULRLS & Warburg Institute Library), we then have the following: the complete contents of Vol 1 and Vol. 11, but loosely inserted in the case, or boards, of Vol. 11., and then, the central part contents of Vol.111 in the correct case for Vol. 111. The cases are gold blocked on a fine wove pale ochre buckram. The contents of Vol. 1 and Vol. 11 coincide with the ULRLS copy, namely: "Liber LXI vel Causae" (12 pp). "Liber Cordis Cincti Serpente LXV" (19 pp)-- ..Vol. 11: "Liber Liberi Lapis Lazuli" (44 pp). Regarding vol 111, the ULRLS copy calls for: "Liber L vel Legis". "Liber Trigammaton". and "Liber DCCCXIII vel Ararita". We have "Liber Trigrammaton sub Figura XXV11" (paginated as pp 39 to pp 64)......"Being the Book of the Trigrams of the Mutations of the Tao with the Yin and the Yang" (lacks page 47/48). We believe all these volumes to be of the utmost rarity, being purchased by some of the neophytes (deciples of Crowley) admitted for entry into The Golden Dawn, (and clearly a then major source of income for Crowley).
The Warburg Institute volumes are given a correct publishing date of "London: s.n., 1909". Crowley, The Great Beast, would have been 34 at the time and in his prime. The actual limitation is unknown to us, but can only have been a few dozen. Volumes 1 & 11 were later re-titled "The Holy Books of Thelema". Volume 111 was later reissued as "The Book of the Law". And, "...A few sets were bound up as one volume"., Cf: Yorke. A good overview of this interesting period (1890-1920) in the history and evolution of occult Hermetic Orders in the UK, can be found in Israel Regardie's own book: "What You Should Know About the Golden Dawn", Falcon Press. Jpg images available, on request.

[002354] Markham, Albert Hastings (Association Copy).. The Great Frozen Sea - a Personal Narrative of the Voyage of the 'Alert' During the Arctic Expedition of 1875-6. London.: Kegan Paul, 1880. Fourth Edition. Prize copy in full deep-blue leather. However, both top and bottom board are detached and there is 80% spine loss. All edges are marbled, tissue guarded frontispiece. 384 pp. Top board embossed in bright gilt "School Ship "Conway" ". Half Title inscribed in ink..."Presented to W.L.S. Charlton for proficiency in geographical study. With best wishes for his further success by Clements. R. Markham . Honorary Secretary. Royal Geographical Society. C. B.". This is a particularly fascinating association copy, for several reasons: 1) Clements Robert Markham (1830-1916) was cousin to the great explorer Albert Hastings Markham (1841-1918) and the author of this work. In 1917 Albert published a biography of his cousin "The Life of Sir Clements Markham". 2) We know that Robert Falcon Scott (Scott of the Antarctic) was born in 1868 into a large Devon family, with a strong navel tradition. Con, as his parents called him, joined the Royal Navy in 1883. During his service on HMS Majestic as torpedo officer, Scott learned of proposals by Sir Clements R Markham, then president of the Royal Geographical Society, for a British National Antarctic Expedition. He applied to lead the Expedition and was appointed to do so on 9 June 1900. With Markham, he began selecting expedition scientific staff, and officers and men from civilian life, the Merchant Navy and the Royal Navy. Clements Robert Markham (1830-1916) served the RGS as Honorary Secretary for 25 years, retiring in 1888, when he was awarded the Founder's Medal for services to Geography. He was President of the Society from 1893-1905. The other association is HMS Conway. This ship began her life as HMS Nile in 1839. She was designed by Sir Robert Seppings, a famous naval architect. In 1875, HMS Nile was allocated on loan by the Admiralty to the Mercantile Marine Service Association as a training ship and, after being fitted out for her duties, she was renamed HMS Conway and positioned in the river Mersey, off Rock Ferry. The ship remained in the Mersey until the Second World War when a decision was made to move her to safer waters in the Menai Straits, near Bangor, where another training ship 'Clio' had once been moored. In 1949 HMS Conway was towed under the two bridges crossing the Menai straits to moorings near Plas Newydd, Anglesey, where she would continue to train cadets for careers at sea. In 1953 HMS Conway was due to be refitted in Birkenhead and preparations were made to tow the ship under the two bridges once more. However, disaster struck and the ship was grounded between the two bridges. HMS Conway subsequently caught fire and was burned to the waterline. £175.00 SOLD
