London: Printed for Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, 1831 First edition. Half burgundy morocco over marbled boards, gilt spine. . Twelvemo. Light wear to binding extremities. The occasional minor stain or smudge. Clean tear to upper margin of terminal blank, 1/3 of rear flyleaf has been cut away. A very good, tight copy Elizabeth Poole Sandford (1797-1853) was a domestic moralist and the wife of Church of England clergyman John Sandford (1801-73). Woman, in her Social and Domestic Character is a work that serves to encourage woman to both accept and excel in their natural domestic roles in order to create as tranquil a home life for their husbands as possible. However, she notes the importance of letters to women and writes, "We cannot, indeed, for a moment question the advantage of letters to a religious woman. They afford her occupation, refresh her mind, and increase the power of her usefulness." (p. 31). Religion is also advocated as inherently necessary to a woman in terms of cultivating…

In Venetia: Gioliti, 1588 Quarter later stiff vellum over pink cloth boards, pink decorative endpapers, edges stained yellow. Small quarto. Elaborate woodcut architectural border on title-page, each leaf within woodcut border. Three full-page woodcut illustrations, woodcut floral device on final leaf. Covers lightly soiled. A very good, crisp copy. Sannazaro (1458-1530) was born in Naples of a family of noble Spanish birth. As a poet, he was patronized by Frederick, King of Naples, and he accompanied that monarch in his exile to France. His best known work is the pastoral poem, Arcadia, which is esteemed as a model of elegance and purity of verse. While traveling in Venice, Sir Philip Sidney is said to have purchased the 1571 Sansovino edition of Sannazaro, and, as Katherine Duncan-Jones reports in her 1991 Sidney biography: "This purchase was momentous for Elizabethan 'Golden' literature, for it determined the title and genre of Sidney's own Arcadia and also, if the theory [first put forth in a…
