‎Morte Arthure. The Alliterative Romance of the Death of King Arthur. Now first printed from a Manuscript in Lincoln Cathedral‎

‎Brixton Hill: For private circulation only printed by C. and J. Adlard 1847. FIRST EDITION OF THE ALLITERATIVE MORTE ARTHURE one of the great monuments of Arthurian literature and of Medieval English literature. This poem like Gawain and the Green Knight is part of the late Medieval literary movement now called the "alliterative revival". According to Larry Benson the most recent editor of this poem the Alliterative Morte Arthure "lacks the delicacy and balance of Sir Gawain and the Green Knight but the vigor of its narrative the epic sweep of its action and its coolly realistic presentation of fourteenth-century warfare lend the poem an interest of its own." EDITION LIMITED TO JUST 75 COPIES each numbered and signed by the printer of which THIS IS ONE OF ONLY 50 COPIES PRINTED ON THIN PAPER. Beautifully printed in large attractive type on fine wove paper with large margins. Frontispiece engraving by F. W. Fairholt after a manuscript miniature depicting the Round Table. Large 4to. Bound in original cloth beautifully decorated in blind. Uncut. Professionally recased with original endpapers preserved. Frontispiece discolored as always because of paper used and a bit stained. Otherwise FINE AND BRIGHT. A legendary rarity in its original binding. Extremely rare and important. sxxi <br/><br/> For private circulation only (printed by C. and J. Adlard) hardcover‎

‎HALLIWELL, James Orchard‎

‎Popular Rhymes and Nursery Tales:‎

‎London: John Russell Smith 1849. First edition of this important little work; scarce in commerce. James Orchard Halliwell later Halliwell-Philipps 1820-1889 antiquary and literary scholar co-founder of both the Percy and Shakespeare Societies is one of the most significant figures in the codification of English nursery rhymes. Popular Rhymes was a sequel to his groundbreaking Nursery Rhymes of England 1842 both of which "would remain standard works on the subject for half a century" Gregory p. 116. Most familiar to modern readers are Halliwell's versions of Tom Thumb and Chicken Licken and his important transcription from chapbook sources of Jack the Giant-Killer see Thomas Green Arthuriana: Early Arthurian Tradition and the Origins of Legend The Lindes Press 2009 p. 148; these are gathered together in the chapter entitled "Fireside Stories". "Much more than a collection the Popular Rhymes offered historical and comparative analysis of its verses and tales. It amplified the scope of the earlier rhyme-book with a section of nineteen folktales obtained both from oral sources and from chapbooks. The chapter rubrics were now much tighter and more definitive: Nursery Antiquities Fireside Nursery Stories Game-Rhymes Alphabet-Rhymes Riddle-Rhymes Nature-Songs Proverb-Rhymes Places and Families Superstition Rhymes Custom-Rhymes and Nursery-Songs. Halliwell conceded his debt to Robert Chalmers's 'elegant work' The Popular Rhymes of Scotland 1826 but also stressed the differences in content. Together the two 'vernacular anthologies' contained nearly all that was worth preserving of 'the natural literature of Great Britain'" Dorson p. 68. Provenance: pencilled ownership inscription to advertisement facing title "H. C. Hart / 89" possibly Henry Chichester Hart 18476-1908 Anglo-Irish botanist and explorer who like Halliwell was also a Shakespearean scholar editing a number of volumes in the Arden edition. Duodecimo in 6s. Original green pebble-grain cloth with blind lateral striations gilt lettered and decorated spine blind panel to sides gilt block of a child reading to front cover all edges gilt slate-green-coated endpapers.

Original dark brown cloth covered boards but preserving the original printed label to the front board. Inner hinges carefully strengthened. Original yellow endpapers lightly soiled. Frontispiece: "Fac-simile of the first page of an ancient poem on Masonry." Followed by printed title. Text ends with a four page Glossary of ancient English words.

A very good copy of this scarce publication. "James Orchard Halliwell 1820-1889 published over 600 books during his life ranging from 16-page monographs many of which first appeared as magazine articles to a 14-volume commentary on Shakespeare. Born on June 21 1820 Halliwell was the youngest of 4 children of a successful leathercraftsman and merchant. One of his older brothers became a lawyer a profession James was to have frequent dealings with over the years. The young Halliwell was noted as a mathematical prodigy. He also had a special interest in collecting medieval manuscripts at that time still plentiful and cheap at ordinary booksellers. He combined these two traits in his writing and at 16 was producing a column of brief biographies of scientists mainly mathematicians for his school paper. These included such greats as Isaac Newton Roger Bacon Ren� Descartes and Archimedes; and also Charles Butler a notable mathematician but also Halliwell's mentor before he went on to the University. And also Euclid of Alexandria a biography that probably influenced his brief appearance in Masonic lore." - see Masonic Poets " The Halliwell Poem .It was first published in 1840 by Mr James Orchard Halliwell a non-Mason under the title �A Poem on the Constitutions of Masonry�. Mr Halliwell used the only known existing manuscript copy of the original that was kept in the King�s Library of the British Museum; before that it belonged to a well-known collector of the seventeenth century Charles Theyer. Most experts believe that this manuscript originates from between 1425 and 1450 and Mr Halliwell says that it was copied in 1390. A few other people even believe that it is a transcript of the Book of Constitutions adopted by the General Assembly held in York in 926 but this seems very unlikely. The manuscript is in rhythmic verses has 794 lines and the language is very archaic even in relation to other manuscripts of this period." - see An Outsider�s View of Freemasonry by Giles C. H. Nullens . London: John Russell Smith, 4, Old Compton Street, Soho Square. M.DCCC.XLIV. [ 1844 ]. hardcover‎

‎The Merry Tales of the Wise Men of Gotham‎

‎London: John Russell Smith 1840. Paperback. Very Good. Paperback. VERY SCARCE. James Orchard Halliwell Phillipps 1820-1889 was a Shakespearean scholar and antiquarian. He married the daughter of Sir Thomas Phillipps the bibliophile whose surname he took in 1872 despite their falling out over Halliwell's questionable ethics see below. He wrote several biographical works on Shakespeare including the Life of William Shakespeare. Halliwell was also a reputed manuscript thief and was banned from the library of the British Museum over suspicion about his possession of manuscripts that had been removed from Trinity College. He also was known for cutting up seventeenth-century books supposedly destroying over 800 books. Despite being a rogue he was a famous and notable Shakespearean and was instrumental in establishing the Shakespeare museum at Stratford-on-Avon. Halliwell was also well-known as a writer and collector of nursery rhymes. This slender humorous volume shows the influence of both his antiquarian and whimsical predilections. It purports to be a collection of vignettes about the men of Gotham a village in Nottinghamshire who are known for their stupidity. In the introduction Halliwell quotes the nursery rhyme "Three wise men of Gotham went to sea in a bowl; and if the bowl had been stronger my song would have been longer." There are 20 equally humorous tales in this work. Very good in blue black & white marbled paper wrappers pink-hued paper pastedown bearing title to front cover small stain near its top edge. 12mo. Light smudging to title-page and small bit of oil-like soiling to insides of both wrappers text unaffected; antiquated writing to top of title-page and one notation in margin. Interior is otherwise clean with very bright text; no foxing or browning. Tightly bound no loose pages. 24 pages. Literature. LIT/12163. John Russell Smith paperback‎
