Volume the FirstA facsimileJane Austen

With an introduction by Kathryn Sutherland

A plain, blank stationer’s notebook from the

1780s in the Bodleian Library contains some

of the most famous juvenilia in all of English

literature. Copied out in Jane Austen’s youthful

hand, Volume the First takes its name from the

inscription on the cover and preserves the stories,

playlets, verses and moral fragments she wrote

during her teenage years.

For the first time, the entire manuscript of Volume

the First is available in a printed facsimile. In it,

we see the young author’s delight in language;

in expressing ideas and sentiments sharply and

economically. We also see Jane Austen learning the

craft of genre by closely observing and parodying

the popular stories of her day. Kathryn Sutherland’s

introduction places Jane’s Austen’s earliest works

in context and explains how she mimicked even

the style and manner in which these stories were

presented and arranged on the page.

Hardback, £25.00October 2013

Clearly the work of a teenager, Volume the First

reveals the development of the unmistakable voice

and style that would mark out Jane Austen as one

of the most popular authors of all time. None of

her six famous novels survives in manuscript form.

This is a unique opportunity to own a likeness

of Jane Austen’s hand in the form of a complete

manuscript facsimile.

Kathryn Sutherland is Professor of Bibliography

and Textual Criticism in the University of Oxford.

The College Graces of Oxford and CambridgeReginald H. Adams

At which Oxford college does a trumpeter

summon you to dinner? What does the

appearance of a rose bowl signify? How would

you use a grace cup as distinct from a sconce cup?

The custom of dining in formal hall at Oxford

and Cambridge dates back to the earliest days

of college life. Before each dinner, according to

ancient statutes, grace must be spoken in Latin,

and although the text and nature of the grace for

each college may have changed over the years, it

is a tradition which remains current to this day.

Following a historical introduction, the full Latin

texts of the graces of the colleges of Oxford and

Cambridge are given in this book, accompanied

by a facing English translation. Special graces

reserved for feast days are also included, along

with an explanation of some of the traditions

which accompany dining in college halls.

From an exploration of the twelfth-century

monastic origins of the texts to the creation of

two-word graces in the nineteenth century and

new texts for the modern age, this meticulous

collection reveals how the tradition of the Latin

grace has survived and evolved over the centuries

and offers a rare glimpse inside the private halls

of Oxbridge.

Reginald H. Adams was a member of St John’s

College, Oxford.

First published in 1920, How to Dine in Style

opens a window onto the golden age of elegant

dining, where the basic function of ingesting

nourishment was elevated to a high social art,

attended by intricate details and elaborate ritual.

Starched linens, candles, white gloves, apéritifs,

ball suppers, French menus and garden parties

– this is the world of the decadent classes who

came to prominence in the post-war period.

Published in an age where achieving a reputation

for throwing recherché dinner parties was a

route to international celebrity, this is a book

about food as performance art. In it we catch

tantalizing glimpses of astonishing excess such

as the craze for eccentric venues for dinner

parties, including the roof of a Chicago home

(for amateur mountaineers), a lion’s den, and a

gondola in the Savoy.

An engaging blend of practical advice and a

catalogue of eccentricity, this book contains

everything you need to know, from the fine art

of composing a menu to the practicalities of the

correct order and temperatures for serving wines.

‘As soon as the sorbet is served, the butler or a waiter hands round a large box of Russian cigarettes, and a second one passes a lighted spirit lamp or a small candle.’

‘When driving, look on all other drivers as fools.’

96 pages, 115 x 88 mm


ISBN: 978 1 85124 080 7


How should a motorist converse with the police?

Should you switch off your headlights when

another car approaches? What parts of the engine

can you fix with a sheet of emery paper, insulating

tape and copper wire?

The 1920s heralded the age of motoring with the

arrival of the ‘affordable’ Austin Seven and the

increasing popularity of Morris Motors in Britain.

Yet the first edition of the Highway Code would

not appear for another decade and the rules of

the road were rudimentary, to say the least.

This charming and practical guide provides

enduring advice to novice motorists on how to

cope with such hazards as skidding, headlight

dazzle and sheep on the road, much of which is

still instructive on today’s car journeys. Many of

the author’s observations will strike a chord with

the modern driver: ‘When driving, look on all

other drivers as fools ...’. Others evoke the style

and etiquette of a glamorous bygone era: ‘A good

chauffeur ... will save his employer a great deal

of expense’; ‘an average speed of twenty miles

per hour ... allows you and your passengers to see

something of the countryside’.

Covering such topics as unscrupulous second-

hand car dealers, women drivers and ‘dashboard

delights’, this little book provides all the

information needed to get maximum enjoyment

out of the open road, complete with leisurely

picnics and a little light motor-car maintenance.

How to be a Good Mother-in-LawEveryone knows a joke about mothers-in-law, but

what are the golden rules you need to become

a popular one? The authors of this pioneering

guide, first published in the 1930s, aimed to

improve dramatically relationships for all the family

with sound advice which is as relevant today as it

was in the early twentieth century: ‘If your opinion

is not sought, don’t volunteer it.’

Practical tips are given on a range of issues, such as

how to visit a married daughter, how best to interact

with grandchildren, how not to pass comment at

the dinner table and what degree of independence

should be granted to married sons. The guide even

contemplates living with the married couple and

offers advice on how to negotiate this situation, as

well as giving examples of how not to behave on

your son or daughter’s wedding day.

How to be a Good Motorist

Packed with amusing scenarios of provocative

behaviour as well as pithy advice, and illustrated

with contemporary line drawings, this charming

guide will win over both novices and veterans in

this much maligned role.

When American troops arrived in Paris to help

maintain order at the end of the Second World

War they were, at first, received by the local

population with a sense of euphoria. However,

the French soon began to resent the Americans

for their display of wealth and brashness, while

the US soldiers found the French and their habits

irritating and incomprehensible. To bridge the

cultural divide, the American generals came up

with an innovative solution. They commissioned

a surprisingly candid book which collated the GIs’

‘gripes’ and reproduced them with answers aimed

at promoting understanding of the French and

their country.

The ‘gripes’ reveal much about American

preconceptions: ‘The French drink too much’,

‘French women are immoral’, ‘The French drive

like lunatics!’, ‘The French don’t bathe’, ‘The

French aren’t friendly’ are just some of the many

complaints.

Putting the record straight, the answers

cover topics as diverse as nightclubs, fashion,

agriculture and sanitation. They also offer an

unusual insight into the reality of daily life

immediately after the war, evoking the shortage

of food and supplies, the acute poverty and the

scale of the casualties and destruction suffered

by France during six years of conflict.

Illustrated with delightfully evocative cartoons

and written in a direct, colloquial style, this gem

from 1945 is by turns amusing, shocking and

thought-provoking in its valiant stand against

prejudice and stereotype.

Great Medical DiscoveriesAn Oxford storyConrad Keating

William Harvey, Thomas Willis and Thomas

Sydenham all gained eponymous immortality with

their pioneering research into the circulation of

the blood and the workings of the human body.

In the early twentieth century Dorothy Hodgkin’s

development of x-ray crystallography earned her

a Nobel Prize and more recently, Richard Doll’s

work on smoking, pioneering glucose sensors

for diabetes and new treatments for haemophilia

have helped save millions of lives.

Great Medical Discoveries traces how these

examples of groundbreaking and vital work form

part of a wider tapestry of medical research,

from the discovery of anaesthetics to pioneering

neurosurgery, and demonstrates how such

enduring contributions to medical science have

helped to shape our lives, both locally and

internationally.

Conrad Keating is the Writer-in-Residence at

the Wellcome Unit for the History of Medicine at

Oxford University. As a professional historian he

has written for newspapers, radio and television.

The ‘miracle drug’ penicillin was first given

intravenously to a patient in Oxford on 12

February 1941, leading to a transformation in the

way that bacterial infection is understood and

treated. What was to become one of the greatest

stories in biomedical history not only had roots

in Oxford, but was the latest in a line of pivotal

medical discoveries made in the city.

This short illustrated history chronicles the story of

Oxford’s contribution to science, from its medieval

origins to its present status as one of the world’s

leading scientific institutions. In charting Oxford’s

remarkable history, the book showcases twenty

discoveries which have shaped medical science

across the centuries, with worldwide impact.

In the early seventeenth century few centres could

rival Oxford in the field of experimental medicine.

NEW PAPERBACK EDITION

Paintings from Mughal IndiaAndrew Topsfield

A unique style of court painting, combining

Persian, Indian and European elements, developed

in India under the Mughal emperors in the

sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Originally

an art of book illustration, it soon gave rise to

highly naturalistic portraiture and scenes of court

life, among other subjects. These elegant and

expressive works reflect the splendour of the

Mughal empire, as well as the enthusiasm of

the emperors from Akbar (1556–1605) onwards

for stories of adventure and romance, for the

recording of great imperial assemblies, or the

meticulous depiction of the flora and fauna of

India. Among the highlights of the book are the

illustrations to Akbar’s magnificent Baharistan

manuscript of 1595, and the court scenes from

the reigns of Shah Jahan (1627–58) or the

pleasure-loving Muhammad Shah (1719–48).

This book reproduces many of the finest Mughal

and Deccani paintings preserved in the Bodleian

Library’s rich and historic collection, largely formed

between 1640 and 1900. These pictures range

in date from around 1560 to 1800, when British

influence was becoming dominant in India.

Each image is presented as a full-page colour

plate with facing text describing its subject and

significance, while the introduction situates the

works within the general context of the period

and its art. A number of textual revisions have

been made since the book first appeared in 2008.

Andrew Topsfield is Keeper of Eastern Art at

the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford. He has written

many books and articles on Indian painting in the

Mughal period and related subjects.

it does about British hopes and fears.
