(SHEEP FARMING, HERDING, AND WOOL). (BINDINGS - ORIGINAL BOARDS). DAUBENTON, [LOUIS JEAN-MARIE]
INSTRUCTION POUR LES BERGERS ET POUR LES PROPRIÉTAIRES DE TROUPEAUX; AVEC DES AUTRES OUVRAGES SUR LES MOUTONS ET SUR LES LAINES
Paris: L'Imprimeries de la République An X 1802. Third Edition. 220 x 137 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". lxiv 536 pp. <br/> Contemporary blue marbled paper boards flat spine edges untrimmed four quires UNOPENED. WITH 22 ENGRAVED PLATES by Patas after Fossier. Rear endpaper with 19th century price calculations in ink. Small inconsequential tears to ends of joints and spine backstrip creases and chafing minor scuffing to boards but AN ESPECIALLY FINE COPY the insubstantial unsophisticated binding entirely solid and with very little soiling and the interior REMARKABLY CLEAN FRESH AND BRIGHT.<br/> <br/> With a suite of 22 illustrations this comprehensive work on sheep husbandry "Instructions for Shepherds and Flock Owners" is offered here in a remarkably well-preserved fully contemporary copy in its original fragile paper boards. Our author anatomist and naturalist Louis Jean-Marie Daubenton 1716-1800 had collaborated with Buffon on his "Histoire Naturelle" for which he provided anatomical descriptions of 182 quadrupeds earning as a result a reputation as an expert in comparative anatomy. In the present work first published in 1782 he focuses on sheep a subject in which he had a vested interest having introduced the Merino breed to France in an effort to improve the country's wool industry. The text covers all aspects of sheep breeding anatomy and husbandry and is accompanied by engravings of cheerful shepherds at their work the processing of wool dissected sheep organs and related images. These are attractively rendered offering visual appeal as well as scientific and agricultural data. Our third edition the first published following Daubenton's death includes an introductory biography by Étienne de Lacépède which he had delivered as a speech at the National Museum of Natural History. While "Instruction Pour les Bergers" appears in the market with some regularity the present exceptionally bright wide-margined partly unopened copy in contemporary boards is an unusually appealing copy of this work.

Wilmington NC: Harriss Printing & Advertising Co 1915. Original Wrappers. Very Good binding. Octavo. 8 pp. illus. As issued in printed wrappers. Only minor soiling and wear to the wrappers. A nice copy of an uncommon and perhaps the first separate edition. <br /> <br /> Lamb's narrative was originally printed in Battles & Leaders 1887-8 see Dornbusch II 737. University of Virginia identifies this present edition as "1890 " but it is certainly a 20th century publication. Our research suggests that Harriss Printing & Advertising was active under that name from 1912 to the early 1920s. One may speculate this edition was issued in 1914 around the semicentennial of the battle. Whatever the case this is an extremely uncommon edition and likely the first separately printed of this interesting narrative of the North Carolina 2nd Artillery.

[Fine Binding - Cedric Chivers] Lamb, Charles; Charles E Brock (illustrator)
The Essays of Elia and The Last Essays of Elia
London: J.M. Dent & Co 1904. Fifth edition. Near Fine. Two volumes bound in one small octavo 180 x 105 mm. xxii 294 1 imprint 1 blank; xii 254 1 imprint 1 blank pp. Two engraved frontispieces and one hundred and sixty-two black & white illustrations including decorative head and tailpieces all by Charles E. Brock. Bound ca. 1905 by Cedric Chivers stamp-signed in gilt on rear lower turn-in. Bound in handsome green morocco with decorative gilt floral patterns on the front board encircling a "vellucent" title label. Spine with gilt titles and art nouveau floral pattern. All edges gilt pale green end papers. Spine toned previous owner's gift inscription on the first blank otherwise a fine copy overall.<br /> <br /> Patented in 1898 Chivers's "vellucent" bindings departed from traditional methods of creating hand-painted vellum bindings. The usual approach was to merely bind a book in vellum and then paint on a design but this is prone to rubbing and flaking and such examples are often now found chipped and deteriorated. In the 18th century Chivers's great predecessor Edwards of Halifax painted in reverse on the underside of translucent vellum thereby providing a layer of protection for the design. His technique was not widely copied and almost vanished with his death and it was not until the 1890s that Chivers developed his own similar method for protecting the design underneath the vellum itself - the backing sheet of the vellum was painted which was then covered in vellum which had been shaved to transparency. The vellum was then tooled in gilt on occasion incorporating additional mother-of-pearl and onlays. The books which Chivers thus bound have always been a favorite of collectors and usually still present well the vellum having served its purpose of protecting the design for many decades as Chivers intended. Chivers was also known to have employed a great many craftswomen at his bindery in Portway: "forty women for folding sewing mending and collating work and in addition five more women worked in a separate department to design illuminate and colour vellum for book decoration and to work on embossed leather. These five were Dorothy Carleton Smyth Alice Shepherd Miss J.D. Dunn Muriel Taylor and Agatha Gales" Tidcombe.<br /> <br /> This book brings together Charles Lamb's Essays of Elia first published in 1823 with the subsequent volume Last Essays of Elia issues in 1833. The accessible and conversational essays were published under the pseudonym Elia inspired by an Italian man that Lamb had known at the South Sea House and had appeared serially in The London Magazine between 1820 and 1825. Despite his struggles with mental illness Charles Lamb 1775-1834 would be celebrated for his literary contributions producing a range of material from essays to poems. Lamb belonged to an active literary circle which included Percy Bysshe Shelley and Lord Byron. Near Fine. J.M. Dent & Co unknown
