‎Bibliomania or book-madness‎

‎London: Longman Hurst Rees and Orme 1809. FIRST EDITION. Title in black with red. Half calf over linen; preliminary and last leaves foxed interior and text in generally excellent condition. First edition of this popular book which passed through many later editions. This work was inspired by another published under the same title by John Ferrier M.D. Ferrier had extensive medical experience and did himself suffer from the disease which he named Biblio-Mania. His work in verse begins: <br /> What wild desires what restless torments seize<br /> The hapless man who feels the book-disease.<br /> <br /> Dibdin was the originator and vice-president of the Roxburghe Club founded in 1812 the first of the numerous book clubs which have done such service to literature.

Bulmer 1814.<br/> <br/> First edition limited to 36 copies only; one of the great Dibdin rarities here bound ca. 1816 in one of the masterpieces by George Mullen of Dublin Ireland’s finest binder of the period with his ticket. <br/> <br/> In this work we find Dibdin in the guise of bookseller. In October 1814 Dibdin managed to purchase for 500 guineas from the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln Cathedral six volumes containing 19 titles mostly black-letter rarities including four Caxtons. Within a month Dibdin produced the present catalogue. <br/> <br/> “The well-turned archness of the title and the enthusiasm of the descriptions the use of the best printer in England and the small limitation the quality and the rarity of the books…and the standing in the book world of the celebrated author of Bibliomania were carefully chosen ingredients which made The Lincolne Nosegay the most exclusive bookseller’s catalogue ever issued. It may perhaps be more aptly termed a private auction catalogue for it is unpriced but the distinction is not important. More important is the limitation of edition as the measure of Dibdin’s influenceable circle of friends and maximum targeted sales audience: thirty-one in the Roxburghe Club including himself and five spare copies…It is therefore not surprising that the Nosegay became a highly-prized collector’s bijou — a joy to possess and a frustration not to possess…The Nosegay has remained a rare and attractive relic of its age.â€â€“Rabaiotti “Beckford’s A Dialogue in the Shades and Dibdin’s The Lincolne Nosegay†in The Book Collector Summer 1989 pp. 212-13. <br/> <br/> Provenance: This copy was given or sold by Dibdin to the Rev. Daniel McNeille rector of Hackestowne in Ireland; on the upper portion of a front flyleaf Dibdin has written: “Price stitched 3s/6d. Only 36 Copies printed. T.F.D.†This copy was bought at the sale of McNeille’s “valuable†library in Dublin in July 1816 clipping regarding the sale from the Dublin Journal of 20 July 1816 mounted on an endpaper by William Shaw Mason 1774-1853 author of A Statistical Account or Parochial Survey of Ireland. On the flyleaf underneath Dibdin’s note the auctioneer Richard Edward Mercier has recorded that Dibdin himself had given him an unsuccessful commission for this book: “…I had a Commission from Mr. Dibdin to purchase for him this Literary Bijoux which he was very anxious to repossess.“ Mason who probably asked Mercier to write this note had it bound by Mullen the outstanding Irish binder of the period and presented it to Earl Whitworth of Abaston 1795-1825 Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from 1813 to 1817. On another flyleaf there is a dedication in Mason’s hand: “His Excellency Charles Earl Whitworth Lord Lieutenant of Ireland &c. whose kind Condecension has so especially promoted the progress of the Statistical Survey.†With the bookplate of George John Eighth Earl of De La Warr 1791-1869 on the front doublure.
