Three volumes. 8vo pp. ccxxvi 410; iv 536 ii; iv 544 iv. 37 engraved plates two double-page; 35 text illustrations printed on India paper and mounted on pages; one mounted gilt lettered specimen of red pared calf; and hundreds of engraved and woodcut text illustrations several colored. including plate 9 in the first volume Bookplates.

"In 1817 appeared the most amusing and the most successful from a pecuniary point of view of his works the 'Bibliographical Decameron' on which a great sum was spent for engravings and woodcuts. The reader will find a great deal of gossip about books and printers about book collectors and sales by auction." DNB. Perhaps the most lavish of all Dibdin's works.Its publication was a financial success and doubtless marks the high-water mark of the Dibdinian bibliomania." Jackson 4. Lowndes says of this work: "From the information which it contains and the splendor of the decorations and printing it will ever be considered as a model of excellence and good taste in typography and the arts.

The bibliographical decameron; or ten days pleasant discourse upon illuminated manuscripts and subjects connected with early engraving typography and bibliography
London: printed for the author by W. Bulmer & Co. Shakespeare Press 1817. First edition 3 volumes imp. 8vo 37 plates including 2 folding plus many other engraved vignettes and woodcut illustrations and facsimiles in the text several printed in color several mounted plus one mounted red leather label printed in gold; later full tan morocco triple gilt rules on covers gilt-lettered direct on gilt-decorated spines a.e.g.; a few of the plates a bit spotted else a very nice copy. Without the oft-missing "Presentation in the Temple" plate in vol. I. This is the only edition of one of Dibdin's most famous books there were 50 on large paper and certainly one of the best printed. Dibdin destroyed the plates for the book at a meeting of the Roxburgh Club. "This work forms one of the monuments of typographical bibliography. As in the style of its production it is the most sumptuous so in the nature of its contents it may be said to be one of the most interesting books relative to ancient and modern printing" Bigmore & Wyman. "The work is written in the same dialogue manner as the Bibliomania with the same interlocutors and may be properly described as a continuation of it. It is perhaps the most lavish of all Dibdin's works" Jackson. Hart 186: "A bibliographer's classic that marks the beginning of the general recognition of bibliomania as a plaything for wealthy." Bigmore & Wyman pp. 169-170; Jackson 40; Lowndes I 640; Windle and Pippen A28. <br/><br/> printed for the author, by W. Bulmer & Co., Shakespeare Press hardcover books

Dibdin Thomas editor
The London Theatre. A Collection of the Most Celebrated Dramatic Pieces 26 volumes
London: Whittingham and Arliss. Chiswick Press 1814. Full Calf. Very Good Plus. 32mo - over 4 - 5" tall. 26 volumes issued between 1814 to 1818 with a total of 104 plays four per volume. Extremely rare in this full and continuous set. A few illustrations accompany each play. This is an extraordinary collection of the popular and canonical theater of the day with some informative notes about the plays premier and players sometimes listing those of contemporary performances sometimes those who originated the plays. The plays include farces burlesques operas essentially musicals or operettas not full-fledged operas masques tragedies etc. Some from playwrights still revered and even performed such as Sheridan Congreve Milton Garrick Colley; others by now obscure writers. Also curious is the number of plays written by women and this might constitute an interesting springboard for study on female writers in the theater. Plays include in order of volumes up to just volume 18 to provide a sense of the range: The Rivals - Sheridan The Beggar's Opera - John Gay Venice Preserved - Thomas Otway The Irish Widow - David Garrick The West Indian - Richard Cumberland A Bold Stroke for a Wife - Mrs. Centlivre Isabella - David Garrick The Quaker - Charles Dibdin The Provoked Husband - J Vanbrugh and Cibber Colley Douglas - John Home Love in a Village - Isaac Bickerstaff Fortune's Frolic - John Till Allingham The Belle's Stratagem - Mrs. Cowley The Gamester - Edward Moore The Brothers - Richard Cumberland Richard Coeur de Lion - General Burgoyne Man of the World - Charles Macklin The Grecian Daughter - Arthur Murphy Maid of the Mill - Isaac Bickerstaff High Life Below Stairs - The Rev. James Townley She Stoops to Conquer - Oliver Goldsmith The Revenge - Dr. Young The Busy Body - Mrs. Centlivre Rosina - Mrs. Brooke The Fashionable Lover - Richard Cumberland Jane Shore - Nicholas Rowe Lionel and Clarissa - Isaac Bickerstaff Three Weeks After Marriage - Arthur Murphy The Hypocrite - Isaac Bickerstaff Cato - Joseph Addison George Barnwell - Mr. Lillo Midas - Kane O'Hara The Beaux Stratagem - George Farquhar The Fair Penitent - Nicholas Rowe The Critic - Richard Brinsley Sheridan Miss in Her Teens - David Garrick All in the Wrong - Arthur Murphy Alexander the Great - Nathaniel Lee The Way to Keep Him - Arthur Murphy Comus -- altered from John Milton The Jealous Wife - George Colman The Mourning Wife - William Congreve Tancred and Sigismunda - James Thompson The Guardian - David Garrick The Clandestine Marriage - George Colman and David Garrick The Roman Father - W. Whitehead The Inconstant - George Farquhar The Padlock - Isaac Bickerstaff Tamerlane - Nicholas Rowe The Wonder - Mrs. Centlivre Rule a Wife and Have a Wife - David Garrick The Tobacconist - altered from Ben Jonson by Thomas Gentleman A Trip to Scarborough - Richard Brinsley Sheridan Suspicious Husband - Dr. Hoadly The Siege of Damascus - John Hughes The Apprentice- Arthur Murphy Oroonoko - Thomas Southern Count of Narbonne - Robert Jephson Confederacy - Sir John Vanbrugh The Devil to Pay - C. Coffey She Would and She Would Not - Colley Cibber Love for Love - William Congreve Mahomet - The Rev. Mr. Miller The Citizen - Arthur Murphy The Orphan of China - Arthur Murphy Every Man in His Humour - David Garrick Recruiting Officer - George Farquhar The Mayor of Garratt - Samuel Foote A New Way to Pay Old Debts - Philip Massinger The Duke of Milan - Philip Massinger The Orphan - Thomas Otway The Recruiting Sergeant - Isaac Bickerstaff and on and on. Condition is very good. There are some dampstains in a few volumes and there is some other soilage here and there but generally the pages are clean and free of issues. Spines rebacked with modern calf featuring five raised boards and embossed title and volume number. Contemporary calf boards preserved and while generally scuffed and with wear along edges and corners these remain attractive. Bindings are tight. Modern endpapers. <br /><br /> Whittingham and Arliss. Chiswick Press books
