A Society of Gentlemen. A New and Complete Dictionary of Arts and Sciences; Comprehending all the Branches of Useful Knowledge... , 4 volumes, 2nd edition, with many Additions, and other Improvements, London: W. Owen, 1763-64, engraved frontispiece and folding table to volume 1, 302 numbered engraved plates by T. Jefferys, double column text, occasional browning and old damp staining, contemporary sprinkled calf gilt with leather spine labels, joints cracked, rubbed, some edge wear, a little frayed at spine ends, 8vo (210 x 130 mm)QTY: (4)NOTE:The laws of cricket first appeared on a handkerchief of circa 1744 and in printed form on paper for the first time in The New Universal Magazine of November 1752. They were then published as a pamphlet in 1755, the first separate paper publication. This dictionary defines cricket as 'the name of an exercise or game with bats and balls', (a definition copied word for word from Bailey). Following this are the laws, 'as settled by the Cricket Club in 1744, and played at the artillery ground, London'. The laws which follow are the third known printed appearance of cricket laws on paper. There are minor differences to the printed laws of the 1755 pamphlet and seem more likely to have been taken directly from the 1744 laws, as the ball is still referred to as 'she', which was changed to 'it' in the 1755 laws. The 1755 version also says that the laws are 'as settled by the several cricket-clubs, particularly that of the Star and Garter in Pall-Mall'.

Eric William Ravilious (1903-1942): A Child's Handkerchief, lithographically printed on cotton, inscribed to verso Silk Handkechief: Purchased by Mary Monck Algiers May 1943 N.Africa whilst serving with F.A.N.Y (First Aid Nursing Yeomanry) Manufactured by mess rs Deans England, labelled for Miss Alma Taylor The Vicarage Froxfield Wilts, 43.5cm square (framed)Early in February 1941, while Eric Ravilious was working as a War Artist, he wrote to E.M.O'Rourke Dickey at the Ministry of Information, 'I've just had a long visit from a Mr. Gerald Holtom who seems very much to want designs for textiles for some Cotton Board. It would make a change to do this for a bit, and he assures me the whole thing is urgent and necessary'.The Cotton Board had been founded to raise standards of design and improve exports. As Helen Binyon relates in Eric Ravlious 1983, Gerald Holtom had found a firm in Lancashire which produced handkerchiefs printed by lithography, an unusual printing process for textiles, but one in which Ravilious was becoming increasingly interested. Holtom explained that he proposed displaying 'appropriate decorative handkerchiefs and scarves ... at the travelling exhibitions of War Artists' and A.F.S Artists' work in the U.S.A' Ravilious wrote to Helen Binyon on 1st April 1941, 'The cotton prints are being tried out (by lithography) and the first experiment is a child's handkerchief - you shall have one if it comes off well.'The Child's Handkerchief by Eric Ravilious exists in two forms. A proof on paper, printed in two blues with trial workings for pattern designs in the margin, is presumaly the first version of the design, possibly done as a trial to test the capacity of the fabric printing process. Ravilious then apears to have reworked and simplified the design, using dark grey and dark green for the detailed work, with bands of yellow for the tape measures and across the numbers, somewhat in the style of the Wedgwood Alphabet mug. This second version is only found printed on cotton, with unhemmed edges. The small number of known copies (less than five) suggests that it was carried to proof stage but never issued commercially.The handkerchief is inscribed 'To John' in the tiny oval between the figures 11 and 12. This is John Ravilious, eldest child of Eric and Tirzah Ravilious, born 1935. Eric Ravilious was lost on a flight from Iceland in September 1942, while serving as a War Artist.
