Description:
Amstelodami, Apud Ioannem Lanssonium 1638. Small 12mo, 128 x 68 mms., pp. 189 [190 blank], engraved title-page, bound in later, 18th century calf, spine blind in compartments, with authors and title in gilt; front joint slightly rubbed, margins very closely trimmed, but a good copy with several provenances. The English scholar and grammarian Thomas Farnaby (1574/5–1647) fled to Spain at the age of 15, where he converted to Roman Catholocism. He returned to England in 1595 and made a reputation as a school teacher. ODNB records that "Farnaby's reputation thrived. According to J. T. Cliffe, he was '[p]erhaps the most celebrated private schoolmaster in England'. He was incorporated at Oxford in 1616 as 'M.A. Cambridge', and he was a minor canon at St Paul's in London from 1626 to 1629. Wood claimed that 'more Churchmen and Statesmen issued thence, than from any School taught by one man in England' (Wood, Ath. Oxon., 2.106). Other than Bramston, its pupils… Read More

Description:
A Paris, Chez Le Tellier..., 1788. FIRST FRENCH TRANSLATION. 2 parts in 1. 12mo, pp. xvi, 172; [4], 224 [225 - 226 contents, 227 - 228 Approbation], contemporary French tree sheepskin; gilt spine missing about half its leather, joints cracked and tender. Hayley's Philosophical, Historical, and Moral Essay on Old Maids was first published in three volumes in 1785. This is translation of volume 1, and of chapter 1 of volume 2, only. The translator argues in his introduction that a translation of all three volumes would be much too long for most readers. The only copies I could locate in U. S. libraries were those of Harvard and UCLA.

London: Printed for J. Roberts...and W. Bickerton..., 1744. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. 8vo (in 4s), 193 x 123 mms., pp. xxxiv [xxxv erratum, xxxvi advert], xxxii, 75 [76 blank], 19th century quarter grain plum morocco, publishers boards, gilt spine; title-page slightly soiled at fore-edge and starting to detach at inner margin, binding a little rubbed, but a good copy, with the ownership inscription on the verso of the leaf facing the title-page, "Balcarres/ Eton, March 1890." This is possibly Lindsay, David Alexander Edward, twenty-seventh earl of Crawford and tenth earl of Balcarres (1871–1940), the second book of the book collector, the ninth earl, and who was at Eton College from 1886 to 1890. The long dedication (32 pages) to Robert, Earl of Orford, would seem to validate the a comment that David Hume made abut the author. Writing in March, 1763, to Sir Gilbert Elliot of Minto, Hume remarked that "I am become much of my friend Corbyn Morrice's Mind, who says, that he… Read More

Description:
London: Printed for John Souter...by J. Adlard..., 1816. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. Tall 8vo, 228 x 133 mms., pp,. xiii [xiv blank, xv "The Persian Dedication," xvi blank], 348, recently recased in blue boards, paper label on spine; text a little browned, but a good copy. This rather laboured satire on Princess Augusta of Wales (1796 - 1817), was the only child of George, Prince of Wales (later King George IV), and his wife, Caroline of Brunswick. Had she outlived both her grandfather King George III and her father, she would have become Queen of the United Kingdom; but she died at the age of 21, predeceasing them both. It was reviewed at some length in The Critical Review for 1816, but without ever once disclosing that the work was not a satire: "The author of Gulzara is not deficient in humour, and we are not and then reminded of the stile of the very best writer in this kind [possibly Byron], in any language: but no such pretensions are made: the work is instructive, entertaining,… Read More

Milano Nelle Stampe dell'Agnelli Scultore, & Stampatore, 1680. FIRST AND ONLY ITALIAN TRANSLATION. 12mo, 133 x 74 mms., pp. [x], 251 [252 blank], including engraved title-page, half-title, 5 full-page engraved plates, contemporary vellum, light olive morocco label. A very good copy The French author and playwright Jean Puget de la Serre (1594 - 1665) was a prolific author, publishing over one hundred works in his life; Le Tombeau des delices du monde was first published in Brussels in 1630 and this appears to be the first and only Italian translation. There were numerous French reprints after the first edition of 1630. A satire, the work is more a sepulcher or tomb of the vanities of the world, rather than a bonfire, and the engraved title-page is presumably a representation of souls in hell. The five plates for the five senses are by Nicolaus vander Horst (1598 - 1546), but re-engraved here. See Veronique Meyer: "Un Auteur du XVIIe Siecle et Illustration de sesLivres: Jean… Read More

Description:
P. Alex. Pag Benacenses F. Bena. .V. .V. [Aexander and Paganinus de Paganinis: Toscolano] [?1517 - 1525]. Small 8vo, 150 x 88 mms., unpaginated, a-q8, contemporary vellum, faded red morocco label; binding a bit soiled, but a very good copy. The first edition of this translation by Georgio Summaripa (1435 - 1496) of Juvenal's satires was first published in 1480 (Tarvisii : M. Manzolinus). The earliest edition of Juvenal seems to be that published in 1469 by Ulrich Hand in Rome (see Curt F. Bühler, "The Earliest Editions of Juvenal," Studies in the Renaissance [1955]). The text is printed in italics, first used by Aldus in 1501, and Summaripa's was the first translation into Italian. Book historians now think that the publishers Paganino and Alessandro Paganini, particularly the latter, were the first to create an editorial series, i. e., books that shared the same editorial characteristics, presentation, and size.

Description:
London: Printed for Joseph Wild, at the Elephant at Charing Cross... 1700. Small 4to, 173 x 138 mms., pp. [viii], 23 [24 blank], ex-library to judge from the binding, which is probably from the 195s, title-page soiled, , a few leaves shaved at head with loss to headlines or pagination, occasional ink staining, more extensively to C4 with some words obscured and some resultant holing, quarter brown morocco, binder's cloth, title blocked in gilt on front cover This work by Mary Evelyn, 1665-1685 was first published by R Bentley in 1690, with a preface by the authors' father, John Evelyn. Joan K. Perkins in her entry in ODNB of Mary's mother Mary Evelyn [née Browne], said of her that " the sixth of eight children born to John and Mary Evelyn, is credited with authorship of Mundus muliebris, a brief satire in tetrameter couplets on fashionable women's clothing, accoutrements, and behaviour, first published in 1690.

Description:
. A manuscript volume of 35 leaves, the pages numbered 1 to 70, being a contemporary manuscript of the second part of Colville's popular seventeenth-century poem. The leaves measure 192 x 142 mms., with one blank leaf preceding the numbered leaves, which have manuscript text on both recto and verso. The hand is clear and legible, and the text has been bound in contemporary sheepskin, with gilt panels on both covers and gilt thistles within the panels, plus gilt thistles, projecting diagonally, at each of the eight corners of the two gilt panels on the front and back covers. The binding is in poor condition and has been crudely rebacked at some stage, with the latter part of the volume being difficult to open without cracking at the inner margin (gutter). A shelf mark, "B2.76," appears on the front paste-down endpaper, and loosely inserted is a folded, undated note in a 20th century hand citing several late seventeenth-century printed editions of Colville's poetry. � A verse… Read More

Holdsworth (1684 - 1786) wrote this comic poem on the Welsh after graduating from Magdalen College, Oxford. In the poem, a Welshman, Taffy, who has ingested some cheese and fallen asleep, wakes up to find a mouse in his throat feasting on the cheese, and, as said mouse tries to escape, he is trapped by Taffy's teeth.

Noribegae [Nürnberg], Sumptibus Simonis Halbmayer Bibliopole [no date] 1626. 12mo, 125 x 74 mms., pp. 132, later gray wrappers, but lacks front wrapper, most of spine destroyed, title-page soiled and fragile at margins. The Lutheran theologian Jacobus Herrenschmidt (1578 - 1641) first published this satire with the Elzevirs in 1621 as an investigation, so to speak, of the justly punished, more justly defeated, and most justly condemned name and origin of the Bacchanalia. My Latin is about as good as my Chamicuro (spoken by eight people in Peru), but I think there is a pun in the title and some jokey, specious references in the footnotes.

The work was reviewed in both The Monthly Review The Critical Review for 1762, with the latter remarking, "We fancy that this author writes as Pistol ate the leek - in token of revenge. Facit inginatio Versus - for he seems to have no other muse -indeed, if he had been a favourite of the Nine, Apollo would probably have twitched his ear, and exhorted him to chuse other subjects than R---ck, F---ks, and the rest of that empirical fraternity, which are by no means worth power.
