Bankes, Henry
The Civil and Constitutional History of Rome from Its Foundation to the Age of Augustus (Two Volumes in One)
Publisher: John Murray London 1818
The two volumes of the first edition bound together in custom half morocco over marbled boards, gilt lettering on black label in one of six compartments on spine separated by five raised bands, brown endpapers. 8vo. 410, 399, (1) pp. Title page of Volume Two professionally reinforced, boards mildly shelf-worn, mild foxing throughout, else fine. VERY GOOD. Henry Bankes (1757-1835) was the only surviving son of Henry Bankes, esq. Commissioner of Customs, and his lady Margaret daughter of the Right Rev. John Wynne, Lord Bishop of Bath and Wells, and sister of the Right Hon. William Wynne, LL.D. principal official of the Court of Arches. He was educated at Westminster and Trinity Hall, Cambridge, and entered Parliament in 1780 as member for Corfe Castle, for which he continued to sit until in 1826 he was elected for the county of Dorset. At the general election of the same year he was re-chosen, but at that of 1830, after a severe struggle, he was defeated. He was for many years an active member, generally supporting Mr. Pitt, and the life-long personal friend of that eminent minister, and of William Wilberforce. An accomplished scholar, intimately acquainted with ancient and modern literature, and of a refined and acknowledged taste in the arts, he was enabled to fulfill his duties with particular grace. He was a most active and zealous trustee of the British Museum, of which he was generally regarded as the organ and advocate in the House of Commons. In the welfare of his native county he took the warmest and most active interest. He was a staunch supporter of all our national institutions in all their efficiency, but was never reluctant to assist in the removal of proved abuses. He was author of "The Civil and Constitutional History of Rome from the Foundation to the age of Augustus" 2 vols, 8vo. 1818. 1st Edition No Dust Jacket Hard Cover Very Good 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

Barnett, S. A., Illustrated by: Stanley Wyatt
INSTINCT AND INTELLIGENCE: Behavior in Animals and Man
Publisher: Prentice-Hall Englewood Cliffs, NJ 1967
FIRST EDITION, SECOND PRINTING (stated). Hardcover with unclipped ($6.95) dust jacket. 8vo (7 x 10"). xii, (ii) 224, (2) pp. Quarter bound in publisher's black cloth over blue boards, gilt lettering on spine.

The volume is in virtually perfect condition aside from a short gift inscription on the ffep, else fine+. FINE/VERY GOOD. Since 1945, the science of animal behavior has suddenly grown. The fascination of the ways in which animals behave remains the same, but new methods of study are now widely used. In this major new work, S. A. Barnett has drawn upon a vast reservoir of little-known research to give an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of a subject in which controversy still rages. The author covers not only the whole animal kingdom but also the sources of human behavior. He makes a significant contribution to the current debate on territorial behavior and the ownership of property. Among the problems Barnett explores is how far human and animal behavior can be properly equated. 1st Edition Very Good Hard Cover Fine 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall

Barrie, J. M.
THE LITTLE MINISTER
Publisher: Grosset & Dunlap NY
nd (cir. 1924). Publisher's bull blue cloth, gilt lettering on white panel on spine, reverse gilt lettering and decoration on white panel on cover, fore-edge deckle, TEG (blue), illustrated endpapers. 8vo. 321 pp. The volume is tight and square, unmarked aside from a former owner's name and address on the fep, otherwise unread, the head of the spine has a small tear and the heel of the spine is chipped, else near fine. VERY GOOD/NO DUST JACKET. The Little Minister by J. M. Barrie was first published in "Good Words" magazine, spanning the months January to December 1891. Reckoned to be Barrie's best work, it is one of several novels about the fictional village of "Thrums", said to be modeled on Barrie's home town of Kirriemuir. In 1840's Scotland, a young Scottish pastor falls in love with an educated, radiant gypsy girl, who turns out to be a peeress who impersonates a gypsy and smoothes things over between rebellious weavers and the authorities in 1840 Scotland. The play version, produced by the legendary Charles Frohman, was a tremendous success in which the star, according to William Winter's review Jan. 10, 1897 "expressed impulse, pertness, perversity, caprice, discontent. mischief, longing, self-will, arch and tantalizing sweetness and charmingly irrational contradictions of an impetuous girl." It was made into a RKO movie in 1934 with Katharine Hepburn and John Beal (as the Scottish Minister). According to Maltin's Movie Guide, "Hepburn was radiant."
