Our latest catalogue contains two early works on mathematics, including John Wilkins's Mathematicall Magick (1648), the first edition of the first book on mechanics in English. There are other antiquarian books on economics, law, philosophy and religion, and a bound volume of eight pamphlets (1803-1808) on the Napoleonic Wars.

You will also find tickets to the funeral of the Duke of Wellington, the signed limited edition of the Works of Max Beerbohm (10 volumes, 1922-28), signed lithographs by Oskar Kokoschka, a mammoth map of Kangaroo Island (1858), and an unpublished large-format photograph by George Aiston of a Wangkangurru elder spinning string from grass fibres using a cross-piece spindle (early 1920s).
