TURGENEV Ivan Sergeevič.
Russian Life in the Interior or the experiences of a sportsman. By Ivan Tourghenieff of Moscow. Edited by James D. Meiklejohn.
Edinburgh, Adam and Charles Black, 1855, in-16, legatura editoriale in piena tela blu con figura in oro e fregi a secco sul piatto anteriore, titolo e figura in oro al dorso, pp. VII, [1], 428. Prima edizione in lingua inglese di quest'opera di Turgenev, considerata uno dei capolavori del realismo russo. Si tratta d'una raccolta di 25 racconti o schizzi ambientati durante le battute di caccia nella tenuta materna di Spasskoe. Pubblicati nel 1852, quando in Russia la servitù della gleba era ancora una drammatica realtà, i racconti suscitarono grande impressione nel pubblico per la loro carica di condanna sociale. La rappresentazione della crudeltà dei proprietari terrieri era priva di filtri e influenzò l'opinione pubblica a tal punto che nel 1861 lo zar abolì la servitù della gleba emancipando circa 40 milioni di contadini. Il volume si presenta integro in ogni sua componente, ma la tela delle copertine reca delle tracce di usura lungo le cerniere e i bordi dei piatti.

COLLIER (J. Payne)
A Catalogue, Bibliographical and Critical, of Early English Literature; Forming a Portion of the Library at Bridgewater House, the Property of the Rt. Hon. Lord Francis Egerton, M.P.
4to, iv,366p., a very good ex-library copy, orig. cloth, head of spine torn. "The library... was originally formed by Sir Thomas Egerton, Baron Ellesmere... His Lordship is well known to have been an enlightened and munificent patron of literature. Some of the books came into his possession from the Countess of Derby, whom he married in 1600, whose first husband, Sir John Wolley, appears also to have been liberal encourager of learning. Baron Ellesmere was created Viscount Brackley shortly before his death in 1616, and his son was raised to the dignity of Earl of Bridgewater in the following year. Many of the rarer productions enumerated in the following pages were collected and carefully preserved by the latter, and his affection for his books is testified by his marks and notes in most of the volumes which he added to the collection. The library was augmented at later dates by the successive Earls and Dukes of Bridgewater, until it devolved into the hands of the present possessor, by whose direction and whose expense this catalogue has been prepared and printed. The undertaking has been limited to early English literature, because it is a department which, though less understood than some others, has of late years attracted much attention, both in this and foreign countries". - Preface. Martin, Privately Printed Books. pp.470-71.

[CROCKER (John Wilson)]
The Battles of Talavera. A Poem.
Second edition, [ii], 39, [1]pp., recent marbled boards. A heroic poem about the bloody but inconclusive battle at Talavera, southwest of Madrid (July 27-28, 1809), in which a combined British-Spanish force under Sir Arthur Wellesley (later Duke of Wellington) forced the French army of King Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, to withdraw from field. The author, John Wilson Croker, was a high-Tory politician and man of letters, one of the founders of the legendary Quarterly Review and for nearly thirty years its primary contributor. Wellington himself singled out this poem for praise. Surprisingly uncommon: we find no copy of the first or this second edition, Copac locates the third and later editions only.
