Ralph Hawkins

Quaoar

with Alan Halsey, Kelvin Corcoran

Published by West House 2006

Edition 1st

Condition Mint

Where does the sun rise in the west? What is the connection between the Rotterdam gnomon and the twelfth planet? Is the answer found in Plato’s Timaeus or Fichte’s Grundlage? How did Miss Tomorrow become such a devil? Who were the time-travellers who landed in a Herefordshire field? What did the Brunonian Key reveal about a Norton 650? Who transcribed the codex which prophesies the fate of west Texas? Why were the Bilderberger secrets encrypted in Tifinag?

The poems and graphics of Quaoar answer these and many other questions.

A4 spiralbound.

William Hayley

The Life, and Posthumous Writings, of William Cowper, Esqr.

with an Introductory Letter to the Right Honourable Earl Cowper


Published by J.Johnson London 1803/4

Edition 1st

Condition Very good

Complete in three volumes. Volume III has Vol II Second Edition title page dated 1803, the volume number corrected to ‘III’ by hand. Six engravings by William Blake, five after Rumney, Heins, Lawrence, Stone & Flaxman; the sixth, ‘The Weather-house’, also drawn by Blake, is misplaced, appearing at the end of Volume I rather than page 415 of Volume II. ‘A Sketch of the Monument’ bound facing Volume III frontispiece. Half-titles to all volumes. Internally very good indeed. Bound in contemporary mottled calf, gilt-decorated spines; some wear to joints, particularly Volume I which also has slight loss to leather at foot of upper board although the binding remains sound. Small bookplate of John Rutherford of Edgerston.
