Second edition. This fascinating volume is“the first major work on famous diamonds in any language and for many years regarded as the sole authority” (Sinkankas).

An appendix tabulates the weight of these gems before and after cutting. Sinkankas notes the present work is actually a reprint of the first edition, also published in 1882, but including an additional preface and two pages of favorable reviews. Sinkankas 6403.

First Editions of 84 Public Acts of Parliament, each with separate title page, from the first 4 years of Queen Anne’s reign. Ascending the throne on the eve of England’s declaration of war against France, Anne delivered a bellicose speech in her first appearance before Parliament as well as reminding the assembly of her support for a union between England and Scotland. Naturally, the present volume includes numerous acts imposing duties, granting subsidies and otherwise furthering the prosecution of the war against France and Spain such as An Act for Encouraging the Importation of Naval-Stores from Her Majesties Plantations in America. Others, like An Act for the Effectual Securing the Kingdom of England, from the Apparent Dangers that may arise from several Acts lately Passed in the Parliament of Scotland, address domestic tensions. One of the more picturesque statutes allows “Her Majesty to Dispose the Effects of William Kidd, a Notorius Pirate, to the Use of Greenwich Hospital.” Each volume includes a paginated table of the Public Acts, followed by a listing of Private Acts. Lacking text for one act in each volume.

Lord Mansfield, Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, presided over the lawsuit brought by the Duke of Hamilton in dispute of the identity of James, first baron Douglas, as heir to the family estates. Stuart, a lawyer who had been tutor to the Duke’s children, represented Hamilton against Douglas and distinguished himself highly but the case was decided in Douglas’ favor - the result, according to Stuart, of Lord Mansfield’s gross impartiality during trial. In the four epistles herein, Stuart argues “with a force and eloquence that caused him at the time to be regarded as a worthy rival to Junius” (DNB). Not in OCLC; only four copies in KVK. Lowndes, pp.2535-36.

First Edition. Primitologist Hamilton’s essay declaring homosexuality to be a flight from incest first appeared in Victor Robinson’s Encyclopaedia Sexualis (1936). It is here countered by Legman’s Freudian response that flight from incest is only half the story; it is the fear of castration by the father that triggers the flight from incest married to patriarchal capitalism that forms the psychogenesis of homosexuality. Legman predicts that homosexuality will go away when the patriarchy that called it forth dies.
