(Magazine: England; Private Circulation; Manuscript)
The Folia Peripatetica. A Monthly Magazine of General Literature for Private Circulation Only MANUSCRIPT
London 1881. Very good. Twelve monthly parts quarto 22 by 17.5 cm. 379 leaves 8 final blank. Original manuscript penned in several neat hands including 40 original illustrations mostly tipped-in on heavier paper. Title pages for vol. 1 January-June and vol. 2 July-December; index for vol. 1. Recent foliation in pencil; 75 pages with contemporary numeration in ink. Navy blue polished calf lettered and tooled in gilt marbled endleaves. Covers lightly chafed at extremities; occasional mild smudging else text about fine.<br /> <br /> Privately circulated magazine comprising essays often on historical subjects travel accounts short stories poetry riddles and puzzles along with some letters to the editor. This particular collection affords a unique perspective on a Victorian-era co-ed literary project born of youthful enthusiasm. Many of the pieces unfold serially across several issues. Floral themes depictions of girls and landscapes abound among the watercolor and ink illustrations most of which are on heavier paper and have been tipped-in. All but the last issue contain an opening illustration invoking the month. The illustrations and written pieces are pseudonymously signed by no fewer than sixteen contributors many of whom are women: Ad Lucem; Amicus; Beth; Constancy; Daphne; Elaine; Gh; Granta; Hope; Iris; Ivy; Mezereon a species of Daphne; M'one; M:zone; One of the Mob; Sinon the cousin of Odysseus who persuaded the Trojans to open the gate for the Trojan Horse; Viola. The editor's introduction and subsequent addresses attest to the ephemeral nature of the project including financial pressures. In the address to the members which appears at the opening of the second volume the editor raises the issue of increasing the subscription rate for 2 to 5 shillings per annum. <br /> <br /> "At a meeting of a few friends it was suggested that a publication of a Magazine to be circulated among the members only should be undertaken. Two members undertook to draw up a code of rules and issue a circular inviting members to join the Society the magazine of which was to be called 'The Folia Peripatetica.' The encouragement which the proposal received was quite equal to the anticipation of the promoters and many hailed with joy the advent of the Folia as a pastime and an occupation for the long winter evenings and sunny days of summer. All the contributors it is needless to say were born authors and though perhaps some were comparatively young in years yet their light was no longer to remain dimly burning under the bushel. Poets Musicians Novelists Historians all found here the medium they had long wished for. Joy joy unspeakable joy reigned supreme in the Editors office and for a season all went on as 'merry as a cricket.' But alas! vain are the hopes of man. Time was when lo a change came oer the spirit of my dream. Members finding they were after all condemned to 'blush unseen' and waste their fragrance on the limited circle of the Folia's members began to find that other and more important duties claimed their time. Some retired into distant parts of the country others went abroad or got married. In vain fresh nurses were called in and a change of Doctors -- I mean Editors -- effected Hope for a short while revived but this soon gave place to despondency. A change to Sidmouth and Plymouth only accelerated the malady. But the Folia was not to perish in this obscure way. Fate had ordained a fairer destiny. The two volumes now handsomely bound will remain for many a long year to come a fitting monument to the memory of the 'Folia Peripatetica'" editor's preface. vol. 1. <br /> <br /> "Granta" contributes several notable pieces: "University Degree Day" an eye-witness account of the 1877 ceremony where Charles Darwin received an honorary degree at Cambridge; "Jesuit Schools" prompted by the "advent of a colony of Jesuits in our secluded valley;" and "Capital Punishment" in which the author argues against "a practice entirely barbarous horrible in its details and brutalising in its effects." A piece on "Women's Rights" written under the pseudonym "Ad Lucem" is illustrated with pen drawings of butterflies. An account of Autumn maneuvers with the 20th Yorkshire Amateur Carabineers written by a participant is provided by Gh. "Hope" writes about "Shakespeare's Heroines" and "Viola" explores the lives of "Some of Our King's Wives." "One of the Mob" offers an account of "two bachelors of limited incomes" visiting Paris on the cheap. An anonymous writer compares "the translations of the old and revised versions of the New Testament" that appear in the Gospel of Matthew. "Music in Worship" by "Amicus" includes a score entitled "Augusta." An ultra-miniature 30 cm text penned within a circle and requiring magnification to read includes The Lord's Prayer a Creed and the Ten Commandments the final line noting "St. John's College Cambridge 1881."<br /> <br /> Provenance: Editorial note at close of first monthly issue noting that subscriptions for the current half year are now due and should be forwarded to No. 43 Oakley Street Chelsea.<br /> <br /> Binding: ticket of Macmichael. Stationer to the Queen. 207 Kings Road. Chelsea<br /> <br /> Watermark: Jordan Superfine. unknown

(NEW ENGLAND / EDUCATION)
Autograph Manuscript unsigned
AM unsigned 19pp recto and verso 4 3/4" X 7 3/4" n.p. n.y. ca. 1870s. Very good. Bit of faint age toning and old folds neither strong nor weakened. Quite attractive and frustratingly cryptic unsigned Autograph Manuscript two-punched at top and string-tied with original pink ribbon. Fascinating firsthand recollections of the writer's early education in a New England country school house apparently penned for some kind of commemoration. All told a dense meaty manuscript that must be read in its entirety to be appreciated. Opens with: "It is a difficult thing to describe an old place which you have not seen for years to a company of friends who have never seen it; a ruler and a compass seem indispensable a rough sketch on paper to show its position and its various surroundings but who among us here can fail to describe most accurately and who can fail to comprehend without the aid of riveted compass and finely pencilled drawings a country school house a New England School house with its ragged walls and still raggeder urchins with its four windows with its one door with its rows of old desks long since hacked by the idlers of other days with its ink spots dropped years before with its benches all scratched over with school boy hieroglyphics and last and not least but first with that old that honorable that respected that indispensable institution to Every New England town the village 'School mom'." He then gives a few vague specifics: "In the years 1847 & 1848 there was a small white house in a village north that has since been torn down. If we were to measure off 200 feet in 27th Street on the lower side of the Street West of the Third Avenue should locate there the Old Academy where two short years we studied. Six young zebras sent from the turmoil of the city to the quiet country there by labor of mind and of body to blend beauty with intelligence alas it was a failure from lack of ingredients ." He describes their beloved "School mom" "She was a nice young lady a little above the medium height with light hair and very mild blue eyes her dress was always plain and becoming. and she was loved by us all young and old thought Miss B. was perfection and how could we help it we fresh from the Schools of Gotham." going at length into her benevolent teaching style and her mysterious personal life. He addresses the family who lived in the house Dominis the appearance of the school and its grounds the pupils' pastimes and pranks the owner of the house "an old Jesuit. always prowling round inserting his long lean crooked nose in the School house. the wealthiest & the meanest" etc. All very Dickensian very Norman Rockwell -- sentimental and charming viewed from perhaps a half century or more later. Penned in brown ink in a handsome easily legible small hand. Although some clues do crop up that may help identify this academy and perhaps the writer we have been unable to do so despite all efforts. unknown

(ORNITHOLOGY, NEW ENGLAND STATES). FORBUSH, EDWARD HOWE
BIRDS OF MASSACHUSETTS AND OTHER NEW ENGLAND STATES
Norwood Massachusetts: Printed by Norwood Press for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts 1927-29. Volume I the 1928 second printing; Volumes II and III FIRST EDITIONS. 255 x 185 mm. 10 x 7 1/4". Three volumes. <br/> Dark green publisher's cloth covers with a blind-ruled border and gilt text flat spine. With 93 total color plates after paintings by Louis Agassiz Fuertes and Allan Brooks 48 total pages of black and white photographic plates and numerous illustrations printed in the text. All with "Spec. Coll" and a library call number in pencil on the title verso. Volume I with a few small areas of worming mostly to rear endpaper and adjacent pages text not affected front cover with a thin trailing discoloration from damp the bindings otherwise bright and clean with just trivial shelfwear. A nice bright little-used copy internally.<br/> <br/> The result of the combined efforts of several of the most important American ornithologists of the early 20th century this is an attractively illustrated reference book intended to "interest the general public of Massachusetts and New England in birds and their rational conservation" via a usable field guide. Edward Howe Forbush 1858-1929 was an economic ornithologist who for many years served as the Director of the Department of Ornithology of the Massachusetts Department of Agriculture. This book represents a culmination of his career; Forbush died shortly before the completion of the final volume and it was edited and furnished with a glowing bibliographical sketch by Forbush’s colleagues who write that he was "a pioneer in the field of conservation and much of our progressive legislation of to-day is due to his far-sighted policy in urging greater protection for our wild life and to his efforts in stimulating public opinion in this direction." The first volume here covers water birds the second land birds from bob-whites to grackles and the third land birds from sparrows to thrushes. The work features animated illustrations by Louis Agassiz Fuertes 1874-1927. He was a lecturer in ornithology at Cornell and an outstanding painter of birds; in the words of the Audubon Society his "work was distinguished not only by the minute detail of each illustration but by his ability to capture each species' way of acting and holding itself. Every bird he painted seemed to have its own unique and vital personality." The third volume was completed following Fuertes’ untimely death so his illustrations are supplemented with a final 24 artworks by Allan Brooks 1869-1946. Brooks like Forbush and Fuertes was a respected member of the ornithological community and furnished illustrations of birds for publications both in his native Canada and throughout the world.

(RELIGIOUS CONTROVERSY, 16TH CENTURY ENGLAND). TRAVERS, WALTER
A FULL AND PLAINE DECLARATION OF ECCLESIASTICALL DISCIPLINE OWT OFF THE WORD OFF GOD AND OFF THE DECLININGE OFF THE CHURCHE OFF ENGLAND FROM THE SAME
Heidelberg: Imprinted by Michael Schirat 1574. First Edition in English. 194 x 151 mm. 6 5/8 x 6". 6 p.l. last blank 193 pp. 2 leaves final blank. <br/> Very nice late 19th century dark maroon morocco by Lloyd of London stamp-signed on front turn-in covers framed by gilt and blind rules blind ruling at corners raised bands spine panels with blind-stamped quatrefoil gilt lettering gilt-ruled turn-ins quatrefoil cornerpieces all edges gilt. Lacking the folding "Table of Discipline" called for in ESTC. Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Albert Ehrman; rear pastedown with Ehrman's faded ink stamp bookplate of "Bibliotheca Broxbourniana / J. P. W. E. / 17 March 1949 / ex dono A. & R. E." STC 24184; ESTC S118505; USTC 507892. Text washed and pressed but except for the first and last few leaves without the typical resultant darkening and fading otherwise an extremely attractive copy still fresh the margins especially wide and the binding lustrous and scarcely worn.<br/> <br/> First issued in Latin in the same year as our edition this is the major work of English puritan Walter Travers 1548 - 1625 applying the Calvinist presbyterian system of ecclesiastical government to the episcopal Church of England. According to DNB for Calvin and Travers alike "the duty of the theologian was merely to identify the church's structure and apply it to contemporary circumstances. It was in this last respect that Travers's originality lay for he subtly adapted Calvin's biblical model to an English context. In order to undermine the diocesan episcopate of the English church Travers started off with an examination of the role of bishops in the New Testament showing that they were not part of a separate hierarchy with authority over other clergy but merely ministers of local congregations. He also differed from Calvin in identifying elders as a type of deacon rather than a separate kind of minister." Our book was written during Travers' 1570-76 sojourn in Geneva where he became a friend of Calvin's successor Theodore Beza. Afterwards he ministered to English merchant marines in Antwerp where he refused to use the Book of Common Prayer for worship. Despite this when Travers returned to England he became chaplain to Elizabeth's chief minister William Cecil and tutor to his son. As DNB notes "his close ties to influential courtiers of a Calvinist inclination" would be key to Travers' career keeping him out of serious trouble despite his strongly presbyterian views. Our volume has a distinguished provenance coming from the celebrated Broxbourne library of Albert Ehrman 1890-1969 a diamond merchant who gathered a fine collection of books at his home at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire. He spent half a century collecting books specializing in incunabula and early bindings as well as early type specimens and bibliographies. Feather says that "his collecting was intelligent and scholarly for he sought to illustrate the history of printing and the book trade and the early development of trade binding." Ehrman also authored learned articles on fine bindings and the history of printing. The present work is uncommon: we could trace just five copies at auction since 1979; only the 1979 copy contained the folding "Table" and that one was noted as "slightly defective and mounted on linen.". Imprinted [by Michael Schirat] unknown

(Smollett, T. C.)
THE EXPEDITION OF HUMPHRY CLINKER. By the Author of Roderick Random. The Second Edition. Three Volumes.
Three Volumes. XLib. Engraved bookplate of R. Wellwood, Esq. in two of the volumes. Bookplate of Juniata College in all three volumes, given by Miles Murphy. XLib stamps embossed in blind on title pages and elsewhere. 12mo. Original full leather bindings. All boards very fragile, and detaced - or almost detached. Small loss at head and tail of spines. Extremities worn with some loss. Gilt lettered spines. Raised bands. Spines lack leather labels. Stated Second edition - see notes at the end of this entry. Hardbound. Very good. Priced to allow for restoration. "In the last month of 1769, Smollett's health compelled him, to leave England. He went to Italy, and, in the spring of 1770, settled in a villa near Leghorn. Here, he wrote his last and most agreeable novel, The Expedition of Humphrey Clinker. In its way, this is another picaresque story, insomuch as, during its progress, the characters (who relate everything in letters to their friends) pursue their travels in England and Scotland. But its tone and temper (owing, possibly, to the influence of Sterne, possibly, to the pacific mood which often blesses the closing days of even the angriest men) are very different from those of Roderick Random and of Peregrine Pickle. Smollett the humourist, of whom we have had but brief glimpses in his earlier works, is more evident here than anywhere else. Matthew Bramble, the outwardly savage and inwardly very tender old bachelor, his sister Mrs. Tabitha Bramble, smart Jery Melford, their nephew, and his sister Miss Lydia, Mrs. Winifred Jenkins, the maid, and Humphrey Clinker himself, the "methodist" manservant whom they pick up on their travels - all these are characters more deeply and kindly seen than any of their predecessors except Hawser Trunnion. The best among them all is Lismahago, the Scottish soldier, needy, argumentative, proud, eccentric - a figure of genuine comedy, among whose many descendants must be reckoned one of great eminence, Dugald Dalgetty. The novel is planned with a skill unusual in Smollett's fiction. In Richardson, the device of telling the story in letters leads to wearisome repetitions and involutions. Smollett contrives to avoid much repetition; and the story, though loosely built, as picaresque novels must be, goes steadily and clearly forward to reach a more or less inevitable ending. This was his last work. He died at his villa in September, 1771, and is buried in the English cemetery at Leghorn." - Cambridge History of English and American Literature; CBEL II 964. This is apparently a piracy that shares the basic appearance of the second authorized edition. The date could possibly be false -- as this edition could have been printed anytime after Sept. 1771. The ESTC has neglected this edition (there's no entry for it), - Thanks to Jim May for this information. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! JUN5 BOX 5

(Steele, Sir Richard).
THE FUNERAL OR, GRIEF A-LA-MODE. A Comedy. Bound With: THE TENDER HUSBAND; OR, THE ACCOMPLISH'D FOOLS. A Comedy
Two Plays bound together: 162 p. Continuous pagination. Early ownership of J. Waldier, 1774, on first title page. Bottom margin of The Funeral title page clipped. 12 mo. 155mm. Virtually disbound. This perhaps should best be considered a candidate for rebinding. Sir Richard Steele (ca. 1672-1729), was a famed english author and politician. The Funeral (first produced in 1702), with its patriotic motifs, apparently attracted the favourable attention of the King himself. The Tender Husband, a comedy, had a brief initial run in April 1705. It returned to Drury Lane for performances later in the year and remained a staple of the London stage repertory for many decades, without remuneration for the author. It is significant that Steele did not have another new play produced until many years later when he was a partner in the Drury Lane management and thus able to reap rewards both as author and as manager - DNB.
