Grove, George D.C.L. (ed.)
A Dictionary of Music and Musicians: Volumes I-IV
Complete four-volume set, genuine first editions as issued. (1879-1890, the first three volumes are printed with the then held belief there would be just one more volume to follow. Therefore, Vol. 1 states it is one of two, Vol. 2 states it is two of three, and so on. Vol.4 includes an appendix) Half leather bound, with marbled paper sides, marbled endpapers and marbled pageblock. The spines each have six raised bands and gilt lettering. The boardcovers reflect flaws commensurate with the shelf life and handling of volumes of this age; bumped corners, worn leather, and some small tears and creasing. Rear spine strip of Vol.I is detached from the body of the book at one end, with the rear paper side and endpaper heavily scuffed and worn. Foxing is present in all four volumes, mainly on the F&R endpapers and prelims, but extends to a few other pages within the volumes. Vol.I has a watermark to the page gutters of the initial few pages. Despite this and light sunning, the pages are in very good condition for a publication of this age. CN Used

ERNST
Dictionnaire universel d'idées sur les sujets les plus généraux et les plus variés. (3 Tomes - Complet)
3 tomes en 1 vol. fort in-8 relié demi-chagrin rouge, dos à 5 nerfs dorés orné (caissons), tranches peignées, Imprimerie Ladevèze, Tours, 1873 (Tome 1), Alphonse Picard, Paris, 1875 (Tomes 2 et 3), VIII-395 ; IX-368 ; V-365 pp. Bon état (rel. très lég. frottée, coupes lég. frottées). Rare. Il s'agit beaucoup plus d'un recueil de pensées, très riche et d'inspiration contre-révolutionnaire, mais assez difficile à cataloguer d'une manière globale, que d'un véritable dictionnaire. On passe ainsi des entrées "Changement de vie" à "Chanoines", "Chant" puis "Chapelle expiatoire (tombeau de Louis XVI et de Marie-Antoinette")". Très curieux ouvrage. On citera l'article "Diversion gouvernementale" : "Tous les gouvernements, lorsqu'ils sont embarassés sous le poids de l'opinion, cherchent toujours à la dérouter par quelques faits extraordinaires et à l'entraîner ailleurs ; c'est ce qu'on appelle une diversion, alors qu'on devrait dire une odieuse rouerie" !
