Verne, Jules - first English Language appearance
Five Weeks in a Balloon - Every Saturday; First Verne English Appearance
Boston: Fields & Osgood 1868. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Good Plus. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall. Boston: Fields & Osgood 1868 hardbound Volume 6 July to December 1868 of the magazine. Taves & Michaluk V001. 10.25" x 6.75" 828 pp. Ex-Tacoma Public Library; half black calf with marbled paper boards. Quite scuffed particularly at the corners and hinges. Pages are age toned some are wrinkled one page is torn but complete not a page within the Verne issue. Strongly bound. Somewhat worn see scans but still quite strong better than Good just short of very good by reason of one or two too many scuffs. Fascinating and quite rare Jules Verne English-language first/first. Just a few pages buried within this hefty collection of six months of Every Saturday: A Journal of Choice Reading - a Fields & Osgood double-column weekly issue - treat Verne's first novel Five Weeks in a Balloon. At the time the magazine editors were apparently of the opinion that Verne who was then largely unknown to the American public was describing actual events rather than fictitious ones in his tale of African adventures undertaken via the vehicle of a hot-air balloon. Here in the five pages of this first appearance see scan of the first one only certain passages of the novel occur along with a synopsis by the apparently intrigued editor who concludes with the line: "All I can say is that it was shameful of our newspapers which profess to record everything that passes to treat this important event with such utter silence." Verne is even mis-identified by the flummoxed staff who refer to him as "M. Jules Berne." For this title this piece is exceeded in English-language rarity only by its own softbound variant - i.e. the same piece not bound together in six-monthly tomes such as this which was the habit of the era which few have presumably largely perished. Taves & Michaluk at V001 note that "The London" sourcing reference for the Verne article remains unknown. See all scans. L53n <br/> <br/> Fields & Osgood hardcover

Howell, James
Lexicon Tetraglotton An English-French-Italian-Spanish Dictionary: Whereunto is Adjoined a large Nomenclature of the proper Terms in all the four . . . With another Volume of the Choicest Proverbs in all the said Toungs. . .
London: Printed by J.G. for Cornelius Bee 1660. First Edition . Hardcover. Fair. Rare First Edition of one of the most important works in the history of lexicography and a major source of the plagiarized proverbs Benjamin Franklin published in Poor Richard's Almanac. A fair copy. Ex-library: white numbers on spine blindstamp numbers and 'cancelled' stamp on title page ghost of what was probably a pocket on the rear endpapers. Very old full-leather binding with 'Howell's Dictionary' on the title piece. Boards worn; corners extremely worn past leather to boards; boards once detached and now only reattached by several strips of cloth which are fairly loose. Ffep heavily chipped with 1864 owner's name reinforced at the foreedge. There is no half-title first leaf is title page; two owner's names or notations Anglesey Dec. 5 1663 and Stanford 1693. Obverse of title page blank; follows 3pp dedicatory 'To His Majesty Charles the Second'; another blank page is followed by the marvelous frontispiece which faces the introductory 'Poems by the Author.' A 6pp preface addressed 'to the tru Philologer' ends with a publisher's notice apologizing in advance for the inevitable errors in this first impression. There is some penciled marginalia in the preface and first few pages of the dictionary; there are also ink notes much older but nothing in the dictionary after the first 6 pages. Page 7 has piece torn from the foreedge with a few words lost. Text browning few pages much more than most others but everywhere legible. Dictionary followed by the phrasebook with sections on anatomy hunting architecture etc. Section on Navigation again has inked marginalia. The penciled underlines and check marks also appear occasionally. The first page of Section 50 of this part has a piece torn from foreedge but no loss of words. The title page for this section dated 1659 is bound in after the contents. The Proverbs or Paroimiographia section follows also with a title page dated 1659. Apparently Franklin lifted proverbs from this section and published them in the same order he was filling space in his Almanac and never intended or supposed that they would be ascribed to him. Full sub-title: Whereunto is Adjoined a large Nomenclature of the proper Terms in all the four belonging to several Arts and Sciences to Recreations to Professions both Liberal and Mechanick &c. Divided into Fiftie Two Sections;With another Volume of the Choicest Proverbs in all the said Toungs consisting of diverse compleat Tomes and the English translated into the other Three to take off the reproach which useth to be cast upon Her That She is but barren in this point and those Proverbs She hath are both flat and empty. Moreover There are sundry familiar Letters and Verses running in all Proverbs with a particular Tome of the British or old Cambrian Sayed-Sawes and Adages which the Author thought fit to annex hereunto and make Intelligible for their great Antiquity and Weight: Lastly there are five Centuries of New Sayings which in tract of Time may serve for Proverbs to Posterity. <br/> <br/> Printed by J.G. for Cornelius Bee hardcover
