Aldis, Harry G. [Philip was born Philip Henry G. Gosse in Kensington in 1879. His grandfather was the naturalist Philip Henry Gosse 1810-1888]. Revised By John Carter (1905 - 1975) and E. A. [Brooke] Crutchley (1907-2003).

(Book #ID 102716)

Published by University Press, Cambridge, Second Revised Edition 1941. 1941.

Second revised edition hard back binding in publisher's original Farrows cream cloth covers, venetian red title and author lettering to the spine. 8vo. 7'' x 5''. Contains (vi)-1, [blank], 141 printed pages of text with monochrome illustrations throughout. Very Good condition book in Very Good condition dust wrapper with minor rubbing. Inside the front paste down is a red and black printed label Philip Gosse (1879-1959), son of writer Sir Edmund William Gosse (1849-1928), and grandson of naturalist Philip Henry Gosse (1810-1888). Philip Gosse had two daughters but no sons. He was born on 13th August 1879, so this presentation copy dated 13.8.41, would appear to have been given to Philip Gosse on his 62nd birthday in spite of the facetious reference to his being 21! In any case it bears a 'Philip Gosse' bookplate so is unlikely to have been presented to a cousin etc. (remember there was no son), with exactly the same name and date of birth. This Philip Gosse concerned therefore must have been the writer on piracy, by profession a physician, his collection is now in the Royal Maritime Museum at Greenwich. Double SIGNED by both authors opposite 'Philip Goose' bookplate 'Philip Gosse on his 21st birthday from ye Revisers John Carter and Brooke Crutchley 13th August 1941'.

[Edward King, Esq. F.R.S. and A.S. et Soc. Antiq. Cassel Sod. Honorar] Edward King (1735?-1807)

(Book #ID 78067)

Printed 1808. 1808.

Hard back binding in original half leather, gilt title lettering to the spine, marble paper covered boards. 8vo. 8½'' x 5½''. Contains [vi] [60] [vi] 169 page printed catalogue. We think that this copy was used as the ledger by Leith and Sotheby's as each leaf has neatly drawn lines in the margins with the sale price of each Lot and the buyer's name to the opposite margin. Two clippings adhered opposite the title page. Rubbing to the spine edges, the last leaf has been repaired to the top corner. Edward King, miscellaneous writer, born about 1735, was the only son of Edward King of Norwich. He studied for a time at Clare Hall, Cambridge, as a fellow-commoner. On 18 Sept. 1758 he was admitted a member of Lincoln's Inn, and was called to the bar in Michaelmas term 1763 (Lincoln's Inn Register and Bar Book). An ample fortune bequeathed to him by his uncle, Mr. Brown, a wholesale linendraper of Exeter, rendered him independent of his profession, but he regularly attended the Norfolk circuit for some years, and was appointed recorder of King's Lynn. In his attendance on the circuit he defended a lady from a faithless lover, and afterwards married her. King was elected F.R.S. on 14 May 1767 (Thomson, Hist. of Roy. Soc. Append. iv. p. lii) and F.S.A. on 3 May 1770 (Gough, Chronological List of Soc. Antiq. 1798, p. 23). He contributed several papers to the 'Archæologia,' among which were 'Remarks on the Abbey Church of Bury St. Edmunds in Suffolk', reprinted separately in 1774, 'Observations on Antient Castles,' with four plates (iv. 364–413), and 'A Sequel to Observations,' with thirty-one plates (vi. 231–375), also issued separately in 1782. On the death of Jeremiah Milles in February 1784, King was elected his successor in the presidency of the Society of Antiquaries on the understanding that Lord De Ferrars (afterwards Earl of Leicester) would assume the office on the ensuing 23 April. King, however, sought to obtain re-election, and that by the employment of ungenerous tactics, but was defeated by an overwhelming majority. His speech on quitting the chair was printed, and he subsequently printed a letter in vindication of his conduct and reflecting upon the earl, and thenceforward ceased to make any communications to the Society.
