ANACREON Odes of Anacreon Translated Into English Verse, with Notes. by Thomas Moore, ESQ. of the Middle Temple. Vol. I
London J. Carpenter 1806 Seventh Edition Hardcover Near Fine; Ex-libris to front end-paper. John Kerley Smith. Otium Sine Litteris Moris Est. Foxing to preliminary leafs. Corners and spine bumped. 16mo
Poet from Teos in Asia Minor who lived and worked in Athens, Samos and Thessaly. He wrote mainly about love and wine, and invented a poetic form of verse called anacreonic. Anacreon is credited with a satire about the inventor of the throwing machine, Artemon Periforetos, who was so anxious for his security that he always had his slaves carry him around close to the ground in case he should fall out, and with a shield above him in case anything should fall from above. Anacreon lived until the age of 85, when he choked on a grape and died. ; 163 pages

Bainbridge, Beryl Young Adolf
London Duckworth 1978 0715613235 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover Fine in Very Good Dust Wrapper; Spine sunned. Some scratching dust jacket. 8vo 8" - 9" tall
Black cloth with gilt titles to spine. Black dust jacket with red titles. In 1912, according to reports, Adolf Hitler, in order to avoid conscription, fled to Liverpool. Young Adolf did not expect his visit to be a happy one, though he hoped it would at least be uneventful. But he had failed to take into account the schemes of hairy Mary O'Leary, the sickening Doctor Kephalus, and Meyer, the fiddle-playing landlord. He seemed merely to have leapt from the frying pan into the fire. He was forced to grow a moustache. In this novel Beryl Bainbridge tells a story that has the ring of truth in all its details of a five-month period in Hitler's early life about which no hard facts are known; 174 pages
