[SHAKESPEARE]; STOTHARD, T (painter); TAYLOR, Isaac (engraver).
King Henry the Eighth. Act I. Scene IV. York Place. Cardinal Wolsey Lord Sands Ann Bullen King Henry &c.
London: John and Josiah Boydell 1798 1803. Original copper engraving 44 x 60 cm overall sheet 55 x 68 cm. Light foxing to lower margin not affecting plate. From "A Collection of Prints. Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakespeare." published by Boydell London 1803. In 1789 the publisher John Boydell opened the Shakespeare Gallery an exhibition space in London's Pall Mall showcasing paintings that exclusively represented scenes from Shakespeare's plays. The Gallery was a bid to revive 'history painting' the practice of depicting scenes from the Bible mythology or the classics in contemporary British art a genre thought to be of great public benefit because of its morally instructive messages. What better unifying theme for such a project than the works of Shakespeare which had become so popular and so integral to British identity by the mid-18th century The Gallery opened in May 1789 with 34 canvases by 18 British artists. By the next year there were 55 paintings and in 1796 the total was 84 along with dozens of 'Small Pictures'. Once the exhibition was mounted reproductive engravings of the paintings produced by an in-house team of 46 printmakers were available to purchase either as a large portfolio of 90 prints or as a luxurious illustrated edition of the plays. The British Library London: John and Josiah Boydell, 1798 [1803]. unknown

Short closed tear to top edge. Light stain along top edge of one bifolium. Prints fine. It is commonly agreed upon that the author of the dedication "T. T." is the publisher Thomas Thorpe however the identity of the dedicatee W. H. has been the matter of widespread and often bitter dispute and is considered to be one of the most elusive figures in literary history.<br /> <br /> With striking images illustrating the following Sonnets by Shakespeare:<br /> <br /> Sonnet 7 traces the path of the sun across the sky; Sonnet 12 the poet realizes that the young man's beauty will be destroyed by Time; Sonnet 27 the poet laments that the night which should be a time of rest is instead a time of continuing labor as in his imagination he wrestles to reach his beloved; Sonnet 34 the sun is overtaken by clouds and the sun/beloved is accused of having betrayed the poet by promising what is not delivered; Sonnet 53 the poet praises the beloved as not only the essence of beauty but also as the epitome of constancy; Sonnet 66 the poet gives examples of the societal wrongs that have driven him to become weary of life and long to die except that he would thereby desert the beloved; Sonnet 97 the poet remembers his separation from his beloved as a period as bleak as winter; Sonnet 116 the poet meditates on what he views as the truest and strongest form of love that between minds; Sonnet 123 the poet muses that there is nothing new under the sun; Sonnet 127 the poet defends his love of a mistress who does not fit the standard conventional definition of beauty; Sonnet 144 reflects an allegory of a person tempted by a good and a bad angel.<br /> <br /> Missing Sonnet 106 . Eleven powerful images by Isaac Friedlander.<br /> <br /> Prolific etcher and wood engraver Isaac Friedlander 1890-1968 was born in Mitau Latvia. Friedlander a fervent opponent of Czarist rule was sentenced to death at the age of 16- a fate he managed to narrowly escape. He moved to Italy in 1912 where he befriended Russian artist Maxim Gorky. During this time he studied etching drawing and relief printing at the Academy of Rome. He emigrated to the United States in 1929 eventually settling in New York where he worked as a full-time artist until his death. His work often emphasizes his native Riga the urban drama of Depression-era New York and the horror of the Holocaust. Friedlander's works are represented in numerous museums including the Smithsonian Bibliotheque Nationale and the Brooklyn Museum. No printer unknown

From the library of Daniel Conner Connerville / Manch House with his Exlibris / Bookplate to pastedown of each Volume.

It represented a new approach to journalism featuring cultivated essays on contemporary manners and established the pattern that would be copied in such British classics as Addison and Steele's Spectator Samuel Johnson's Rambler and Idler and Goldsmith's Citizen of the World. The Tatler would also influence essayists as late as Charles Lamb and William Hazlitt. Addison and Steele liquidated The Tatler in order to make a fresh start with the similar Spectator and the collected issues of Tatler are usually published in the same volume as the collected Spectator. Tatler was founded in 1709 by Richard Steele who used the nom de plume "Isaac Bickerstaff Esquire". This is the first known such consistently adopted journalistic persona which adapted to the first person as it were the 17th-century genre of "characters" as first established in English by Sir Thomas Overbury and then expanded by Lord Shaftesbury's Characteristicks 1711. Steele's conceit embodied in the title "Tatler" was to publish the news and gossip heard in various London coffeehouses in reality he mixed real gossip with invented stories of his own and so he declared in the opening paragraph to leave the subject of politics to the newspapers while presenting Whiggish views and correcting middle-class manners while instructing "these Gentlemen for the most part being Persons of strong Zeal and weak Intellects.what to think." To assure complete coverage of local gossip he pretended to place a reporter in each of the city's four most popular coffeehouses and the text of each issue was subdivided according to the names of these four: accounts of manners and mores were datelined from White's; literary notes from Will's; notes of antiquarian interest were dated from the Grecian Coffee House; and news items from St. James's Coffee House. The journal was originally published three times a week and Steele eventually brought in contributions from his literary friends Jonathan Swift and Joseph Addison though both of them pretended to be writing as Isaac Bickerstaff and authorship was revealed only when the papers were collected in a bound volume. The original Tatler was published for only two years from 12 April 1709 to 2 January 1711. A collected edition was published in 171011 with the title The Lucubrations of Isaac Bickerstaff Esq. In 1711 Steele and Addison decided to liquidate The Tatler and co-founded The Spectator magazine which used a different persona than Bickerstaff. Wikipedia hardcover

[Virginia – West Virginia – Religion – Indigenous- Euro-American Conflicts] Robbins, Isaac
1793 Letter from Rev. Isaac Robbins to His Parents Concerning Smallpox Attacks by Indigenous Peoples and Sin
Charlestown Ohio County Virginia now Brooke County West Virginia 1793. Single two-page letter measuring 7 ½ x 12 ½ inches. Folded with small tears at folds some holes intersecting with text; overall excellent. A letter from Isaac Prince Robbins 1770–1846 in what is now West Virginia to his parents Rev. Chandler Robbins 1738–1799 and Jane Prince 1740–1800 in Plymouth Massachusetts. Isaac Robbins was likely teaching in the area as he mentions the “price of my school†and that the oncoming spring had “call’d the larger scholars away†to farm. He also notes that smallpox had been running through the area and inquires about the family’s health as they had contracted the disease the previous October.<br /> <br /> Robbins also informs his family that there is “No prospect of peace while the Indians commit depredations as frequent as they do. Kill’d and took seven families at a station 30 miles this side Lymestone Kentucky Landingâ€. It is not clear whether he is referring to “Hartshorne’s defeat†part of the Northwest Indian War where the Northwestern Confederacy attacked Euro-American settlers near Limestone now Maysville—this attack occurred in 1790 though it is possible that Robbins had not contacted his family since prior to this event.<br /> <br /> He closes by ruminating on his own sin telling his parents “I have erred and gone astray point out to me the way that I shall ask forgiveness whereby I can be saved.†This letter probably predates Isaac Robbins’ following in his father’s footsteps and becoming a minister.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of the settlement of West Virginia and related conflicts with Indigenous tribes. unknown

[Watts, Isaac; Barlow, Joel]
Psalms carefully suited to the Christian Worship in the United States of America: being an Improvement of the Old Versions of the Psalms of David
New-Brunswick: Printed by Lewis Deare For Weller & Meeker Newark 1812. A New Edition Corrected. Hardcover. Fair. Full calf bottom board detached spine with two cracks cloth visible beneath the backstrip from an old repair boards quite worn 7 x 4 1/2 inches. "Matthias Baker's Book" in black ink on the ffep ink name stamp of the same above it. 1-299 1; 1-264; counted and complete. A couple of loosening signatures text is generally in good condition. The book begins with an extract of the Life of Isaac Watts from Johnson's Lives of the Poets. The hymnal has its own title page and page numbers the imprint is New-Brunswick: Printed by Lewis Deare 1812; as with the Psalms the title page has "A New Edition Corrected." Watts is printed as the author on the title page of the hymns but not on the Psalms although they are an adaptation of Watts nonetheless.This is Joel Barlow's revision of Watts approved by the Presbyterian Synod of New York and Philadelphia in 1787 and later printed without the Presbyterian name to broaden the customer base. It is also the "Corrected" Edition see Benson The American revisions of Watts's Psalms p. 15."A final series of editions of Barlow's revision needs mention. These began as early as 1812 and consist in each case of the Psalms and Hymns bound together in one volume each with its own title and each described as "corected." The constitutes the only variance in the title of the Psalms and there appears to be little variance in the text. The corrections are rather in the line of restorations of verses or even whole versions of Psalms as given by Watts but which Barlow had chosen to omit. In some editions a brief 'Life of Watts' is included." - Benson.With a signed provenance card from the music collection of A. Merril Smoak Jr. DWS. Printed by Lewis Deare, For Weller & Meeker, Newark hardcover

New York: New-York Courier 1815. First. pamphlet. 21 pages printed with text in double columns. Original pamphlet sewn dampstain at upper corner and rough at edges but well inside the ample margins; some pages still un-opened. New York: At the Office of the New-York Courier 1815. First edition. A very good copy of this exceedingly scarce pamphlet. OCLC lists only 13 copies including those at Columbia Cornell Yale Harvard and the New York Historical Society.<br/> <br/> Attributed to Isaac Bronson by F. Redlich in "The Molding of American Banking" 1868 volume 1 page 308. "Isaac Bronson was a highly successful financier of the Jacksonian era who was also one of the period's most original and influential banking theorists. Bronson accumulated his very considerable fortune in New York primarily by judicious personal money-lending operations on long-term bonds and mortgages at a cautious 7 per cent annual return supplemented by successful ventures in land speculation. In addition to wealth he had by the 1830's acquired a weighty reputation for sober financial conservatism and was regarded as an authoritative exponent of sound banking principles. Prominent in the financial community he had long thrown his weight as a sound banking theorist against the "wild-cat" practices of the then rampant state banks." --Venit A. 1945.
