(BINDING - DOVES BINDING FORGERIES). (DOVES PRESS). CARLYLE, THOMAS
SARTOR RESARTUS: THE LIFE & OPINIONS OF HERR TEUFELSDROECKH
London: The Doves Press 1907. ONE OF 300 COPIES printed on paper and 15 on vellum. 235 x 165 mm. 9 1/4 x 6 1/2". 341 1 pp. <br/> VERY ATTRACTIVE DARK BLUE CRUSHED MOROCCO IN THE STYLE OF THE DOVES BINDERY counterfeit signature stamped and dated 1907 to the rear turn-in covers simply framed by two plain gilt rules raised bands spine compartments with rose window designs formed by six open ovals accented with dots encircled by two gilt rules with low platforms and dots above and below gilt titling turn-ins gilt-ruled and with cornerpieces of open ovals dots and gouge work all edges gilt and gauffered with two rows of tiny dots. Initials designed by Edward Johnston. Printed in red and black. Pastedown with the bookplate of Helen and Michael Oppenheimer. Tidcombe DP-13. For the binding: Tidcombe p. 464. Spine a little sunned just a trace of soiling to leather the usual offsetting from the facing turn-ins on the front and rear free endpaper a hint of yellowing to quire b but still fine the text otherwise pristine and the binding unworn and lustrous.<br/> <br/> This is one of the 26 intriguing and obviously uncommon examples Tidcombe has identified as forged or imitation Doves bindings a group of handsomely executed volumes that continue to be mysterious. Tidcombe differentiates between forgeries those books that are stamp-signed with "C - S" and a date as here on the one hand and unsigned "copies of Doves bindings or bindings in the Doves style" on the other. But she treats them as one group "because they have several features in common." For example signed or unsigned all of the suspect bindings cover Doves Press books all are bound in dark blue morocco and all have a signature pallet with the letters "E" and "S" close together. Although Tidcombe suggests that the person responsible for the forged Doves bindings could possibly have been the former Doves Bindery finisher Charles McLeish she does not settle on him or any other likely candidate. Whoever was behind them the volumes in this puzzling group of bindings--like other forgeries and imitations of historically important cultural artifacts--are actively collected for their value as counterfeits. And as with other counterfeits the present binding is a kind of implicit homage in this case to the outstanding work done by Cobden-Sanderson at the Doves Bindery--our spurious binding would not have been worth undertaking were the objects it mirrored not so universally recognized as worthy of imitation. The text here is an uncategorizable work reminiscent of satires by Swift and Sterne in its fictitious biography of Teufelsdroeckh i.e. "devil's dung" Professor of Things in General at the University of Weissnichtwo "Know-not-where". Day calls it "an intellectual and spiritual autobiography and a diatribe against current conditions in England" that advocates a reorganization of society and its institutions so that "Brotherhood and the duty to work usefully will grip mankind's true leaders and assure a theocracy a reborn humanity ruled by the divine spirit within." Our volume was formerly in the collection of fine private press books owned by the distinguished scholars Sir Michael Oppenheimer 1924-2020 and his wife Lady Helen Oppenheimer 1926-2022; he was an Oxford lecturer in politics and history she an Anglican theologian whose groundbreaking work on ethics helped reform the church's position on remarriage of divorced persons.

The Life of Friedrich Schiller: Comprehending an Examinaton of His Works
London: Chapman & Hall 1845. Hardcover. Very Good. Second Edition." With a presentation inscription from Carlyle on the front free endpaper: "To Samuel Rogers Esq. with many kind regards T.C. Chelsea 13 July 1845." Backstrip restored; hinges repaired. In a morocco-backed folding case. Another of the younger generation who met Rogers about 1838 was Thomas Carlyle; and the gruff Scotsman's impressions hackneyed as they are must be quoted: "Old Rogers with his pale head white bare and cold as snow. those large blue eyes cruel sorrowful and that sardonic shelf chin." It is evident that Carlyle rebel as he was was impressed with the "grim old dilettante full of sardonic sense"; and when we remember how unresponsive was Carlyle to mere reputations and how hopelessly unfair even to greatness that did not agree with him his tribute is remarkable. There must have been a force of character trained and controlled to make this wild prophet of a new age write so definitely of an old poet to the fellow-prophet in America Ralph Waldo Emerson. <br/><br/> Chapman & Hall hardcover

RARE FIRST EDITION OF ALL VOLUMES OF THIS FORMIDABLE BIOGRAPHY OF THOMAS CARLYLE. 'Thomas Carlyle 1795-1881 the British essayist historian and philosopher from the Scottish Lowlands was a leading writer of the Victorian era he exerted a profound influence on 19th-century art literature and philosophy.<br> Born in Ecclefechan Dumfriesshire Scotland Carlyle attended the University of Edinburgh where he excelled in mathematics inventing the Carlyle circle. After finishing the arts course he prepared to become a minister in the Burgher Church while working as a schoolmaster. He quit these and several other endeavours before settling on literature writing for the Edinburgh Encyclopćdia and working as a translator. He found initial success as a disseminator of German literature then little-known to English readers through his translations his Life of Friedrich Schiller 1825 and his review essays for various journals. His first major work was a novel entitled Sartor Resartus 1833–34. After relocating to London he became famous with his French Revolution 1837 which prompted the collection and reissue of his essays as Miscellanies. Each of his subsequent works including On Heroes 1841 Past and Present 1843 Cromwell's Letters 1845 Latter-Day Pamphlets 1850 and History of Frederick the Great 1858–65 were highly regarded throughout Europe and North America. He founded the London Library contributed significantly to the creation of the National Portrait Galleries in London and Scotland was elected Lord Rector of Edinburgh University in 1865 and received the Pour le Mérite in 1874 among other honours.<br> Carlyle occupied a central position in Victorian culture being considered not only in the words of Ralph Waldo Emerson the "undoubted head of English letters" but a "secular prophet". Carlyle is now recognised as "one of the enduring monuments of our literature who quite simply cannot be spared."<br> Carlyle was a renowned conversationalist. Ralph Waldo Emerson described him as "an immense talker as extraordinary in his conversation as in his writing—I think even more so." Charles Darwin considered him "the most worth listening to of any man I know." William Lecky noted his "singularly musical voice" which "quite took away anything grotesque in the very strong Scotch accent" and "gave it a softening or charm". Henry Fielding Dickens recollected that he was "gifted with a high sense of humour and when he laughed he did so heartily throwing his head back and letting himself go." Thomas Wentworth Higginson remembered his "broad honest human laugh" one that "cleared the air like thunder and left the atmosphere sweet." Lady Eastlake called it "the best laugh I ever heard".<br> Charles Eliot Norton wrote that Carlyle's "essential nature was solitary in its strength its sincerity its tenderness its nobility. He was nearer Dante than any other man." Frederic Harrison similarly observed that "Carlyle walked about London like Dante in the streets of Verona gnawing his own heart and dreaming dreams of Inferno. To both the passers-by might have said See! there goes the man who has seen hell". Higginson rather felt that Jean Paul's humorous character Siebenkäs "came nearer to the actual Carlyle than most of the grave portraitures yet executed" for like Siebenkäs Carlyle was "a satirical improvisatore". Emerson saw Carlyle as "not mainly a scholar" but "a practical Scotchman such as you would find in any saddler's or iron-dealer's shop and then only accidentally and by a surprising addition the admirable scholar and writer he is."<br> Carlyle's two most important followers were Emerson and Ruskin. In the 19th century Emerson was often thought of as "the American Carlyle" and he described himself in 1870 as "Lieutenant" to Carlyle's "General in Chief". Ruskin publicly acknowledged that Carlyle was the author to whom he "owed more than to any other living writer" and would frequently refer to him as his "master" writing after Carlyle's death that he was "throwing myself now into the mere fulfilment of Carlyle's work".' wiki Longmans, Green and Co. hardcover

[Doves Press] Emerson, Ralph Waldo; Thomas Carlyle, preface
Essays by Ralph Waldo Emerson
Hammersmith: Doves Press 1906. Fine. One of 300 copies on paper. There were also 25 copies on vellum. This is a beautiful copy of this volume of essays by Emerson. Cobden-Sanderson the founder of the press met Emerson in the 1860s when he visited London and he had made quite an impression. He saw him as "a pinnacle of a man" and according to Marianne Tidcombe in her book The Doves Press "was attracted to Emerson's idealism and to the hint of mysticism that coloured his view of nature."

[Fine Binding - Riviere & Son]; Thomas Carlyle
Sartor Resartus
London: Kegan Paul Trench & Co 1889. Fine. Sixteenmo 6 3/16 x 3 5/8 inches; 157 x 93 mm. vi 306 1 imprint 5 blank pp. Portrait frontispiece with tissue guard. Title-page printed in red and black. Bound ca. 1920 by Rivière & Son stamp signed in gilt on lower turn-in. Full antelope crushed levant morocco covers decoratively ruled in gilt surrounding a very elaborate floral design in pointillé spine with five raised bands similarly decorated and lettered in gilt in compartments gilt-ruled board edges full dark blue morocco liners elaborately decorated in gilt blue watered silk end-leaves top edge gilt. A wonderful example of the art of 'pointillé'.<br /> <br /> The Scottish author critic and thinker Thomas Carlyle 1795-1881 was a major influence on Victorian society. His novel Sartor Resartus translated as The Tailor Re-tailored among other variations is a satirical look at the work of a fictional philosopher Diogenes Teufelsdröckh. Intriguing in its form the book is structured from the prospective of a skeptical English reviewer consumed by Teufelsdröckh’s book Clothes Their Origin and Influence. In crafting Sartor Resartus Carlyle drew on a range of literary influences: Goethe Hegel Sterne and Switft. Carlyle’s complicated text not only critiques academic writing and materialism but offers meditations on the meanings of symbols and the search for truth. Although first started as an essay the project eventually developed into a novel which was first published serially in Fraser’s Magazine 1833-34. Fine. Kegan Paul, Trench & Co unknown
