London: Printed by T.J. for Edward Brewster ... and Thomas Passenger ..., 1684. Three parts bound in one volume. [80] leaves, A-U4; [56] leaves A-O4; and [8],160pp. Quarto. Modern blind paneled calf, raised bands, gilt label. First two parts illustrated with spirited woodcuts. Occasional foxing and mild spotting, marginal smudges to first title, usual tanning, lower forecorners of E2-3 in first part torn away and replaced, with a few letters and a few words in the sidenote in ms, a few upper margins dust-soiled, last three gatherings in third part supplied from another copy and trimmed slightly shorter at lower margin; a good, sound copy, neatly bound. First edition of the third part. An omnibus gathering of these three separately printed editions, each with independent register, and with the title of the first part taking into account the presence of the latter two. The terminal advert leaf to the first part is present. Wing attributes the text of the first part to John Shirley, and that for the third is occasionally attributed to the publisher, Edward Brewster. The first part is illustrated with 62 woodcut illustrations (signed 'E.B.'), of which 23 are repeats; the second part includes 15 woodcuts, all of which appear as well in the first part. The first part was first printed in this form in 1667, and the second in 1672; the first part was reprinted again in 1701. Among the most widely adapted of the beast fables, the tales of Reynard the Fox originated in the 12th and 13th centuries, with early versions in French, Dutch, Latin, and German being notable. Caxton printed a translation based on a Flemish text in 1481. The character of Reynard, an anthropomorphic fox and trickster, has since become almost an archetype in the literatures of several languages. ESTC R24532 & R218371 & R40614.

Description:
[160]; [112]; [4], 160 pp.One of the rare sets of all 3 parts of the English Reynard the Fox, the third part here in its first edition. The Reynard stories were already established as a coherent collection in the 12th century and were first printed in 1479, in a Dutch prose edition. They became especially well known when translated into English (and adapted) for Caxton's 1481 edition (in 43 chapters). The publisher Edward Alde in London began work on an extensive revision of Caxton's text, with many new additions, but he published only the first part, probably in 1620 (the first edition of the present part 1), containing 25 chapters, some corresponding with chapters in Caxton's edition and some not. Although the second part would have to wait 52 years, the first part quickly became the standard English version of the Reynard the Fox stories, with 8 editions from 1620 to 1671. Its language was modernized, giving both a view of the stories as they were known through most of two centuries and insights…

v+321 pages. Small octavo (7 3/4" x 5 1/2") bound in original publisher's black cloth with gilt lettering to cover and spine. First British edition. St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
