Edinburgh: John Grant 1908. 4 volumes. First Edition Thus Grant's fine printing of 1908. With Provenance. Richly illustrated throughout with 37 engravings designed and etched by Ad. Lalauze on tissue-guarded plates including a fine engraved portrait of Cervantes at the beginning of Volume I. Title pages printed in red and black. Tall thick 8vo in very fine contemporary three-quarter chocolate brown morocco over brown cloth the back and corner pieces gilt ruled the spines beautifully gilt tooled in a morning glory motif in compartments separated by finely gilt tooled raised bands two compartments gilt lettered fine marbled endpapers a.e.g. These impressive bindings were no doubt custom made for Sir James Liege Hulett South African sugar magnate and noted philanthropist whose engraved armorial plates are affixed to the front endpapers xlii 445; x 484; xii 512; xii 508 pp. A very handsome set the fine bindings remarkably free of wear of evidence of use the text very fine but for the lightest of inevitable spotting which only occasionally appears and is primarily confined to the prelims. A FINE AND HANDSOME SET WITH EXCELLENT ACADEMIC INCLUSIONS. A beautiful set of Cervantes and a very scarce edition edited by J.G. Lockhart who also wrote the included essay on the Life of Cervantes. Motteux’s translation is one of the most famous of the period and here the book is presented in lovely style. <br> There is a fine ‘Life of Cervantes’ preceding the text and in addition important and very copious notes on the text are appended. The content of the notes is of significant interest to the reader as they have been taken from the most important and scholarly editions prepared by Bowle Pellicer and the Academy. In addition significant content was gained from researching the old histories and chronicles with which the Spaniards of the 16th century were familiar. Thus many of the period poetical nuances have here been included in English for the first time.<br> Blackwood’s said of the translation that “This is we think out of all sight the richest and the best. . Motteux the translator of Cervantes and Rabelais possesses a native humour which no other translator that we ever met with has approached.†And William Prescott said that “The most popular versions in English are those of Motteux Jarvis and Smollett. Perhaps the first is the best of all. It was by a Frenchman who came over to England in the time of James the Second. It betrays nothing of its foreign parentage however while its rich and racy diction and its quaint turns of expression are admirably suited to convey a lively and very faithful image of the original. The slight tinge of antiquity which belongs to the time is not displeasing and comports well with the tone of knightly dignity which distinguishes the hero.†Miscellanies 1845 John Grant hardcover
