Boards slightly rubbed; strong and sound. Tight bright and text clean. No owner name or internal markings. a couple of small ink splashes to one page. VERY GOOD. Very Scarce. Lg.4to. ABEL BOYER: was probably born on 24 June 1667 at Castres in Upper Languedoc southern France. His father Pierre Boyer one of the two consuls or chief magistrates of Castres had been suspended and fined for his Protestantism. Boyer's education at the academy of Puylaurens was interrupted by the religious disturbances and leaving France with his maternal uncle Pierre Campdomerc a noted Huguenot preacher he finished his studies at Franeker in Friesland after a brief episode it is said of military service in Holland. Proceeding to England in 1689 he fell into great poverty and is represented as transcribing and preparing for the press Dr. Thomas Smith's edition of William Camden's Latin correspondence London 1691. A good classical scholar Boyer became in 1692 tutor to Allen Bathurst afterwards first Earl Bathurst whose father Sir Benjamin was treasurer of the household of the princess afterwards Queen Anne. Probably through this connection he was appointed French teacher to her son Prince William Duke of Gloucester for whose use he prepared and to whom he dedicated The Complete French Master published in 1694. In 1702 there appeared at The Hague the work which has made Boyer's a familiar name his 'Dictionnaire Royal Français et Anglais divisé en deux parties' ostensibly composed for the use of the Duke of Gloucester then dead. It was much superior to every previous work of the kind and has been the basis of very many subsequent French-English dictionaries; the last English unabridged edition is that of 1816; the edition published at Paris in 1860 is stated to be the 41st. For the English-French section Boyer claimed the merit of containing a more complete English dictionary than any previous one the English words and idioms in it being defined and explained as well as accompanied by their French equivalents. In the French preface to the whole work Boyer said that 1000 English words not in any other English dictionary had been added to his by Richard Savage whom he spoke of as his friend and who assisted him in several of his French manuals and miscellaneous compilations and translations published subsequently. The French taken out of the dictionaries of Richelet Furetiere Tachart the great dictionary of the French Academy and the remarks of Vaugelas Menage and Bouhours. The English collected chiefly out of the best dictionaries and the works of the greatest masters of the English tongue; Archbishop Tillotson Bishop Sprat Sir Roger l'Estrange Mr. Dryden Sir William Temple &c.

Philip Hermogenes Calderon (1833-1898), English painter born in France of Spanish extractino, member of St John's Wood Clique, K
Autograph Letter Signed 'Philip H Calderon.' from Philip Hermogenes Calderon member of the St John's Wood Clique to fellow-artist John Callcott Horsley describing a trip to the 'dissolute city' of Paris.
On letterhead of 9 Marlborough Place St John's Wood NW. 'Sunday Evening' no date. 3pp. 12mo. Bifolium with mourning border. Good on lightly-aged paper with thin neat strip of paper mount at head of third page. The sense of humour for which the St John's Wood Clique was known is reflected in the letter which begins: 'Marks Storey and I have just returned from Paris to which dissolute city we went to see the "Salon" and after a hard course of study of pictures frescoes elaborate "menus" at Champeaux and female costume reduced to its simplest form at Offenbach's Theatre - where it chiefly consists of a belt with a few small coins hanging about here we are home again - to Virtue Simplicity and Work!' He is sorry to be late replying: Horsley's friend's drawing is a good one and he has 'many friends better able than myself to advise him'. 'The sending in is to-morrow and so good luck to him - I am sure he thoroughly deserves it.' Calderon writes that he and his colleagues were all very sorry to learn the cause of Horsley's absence from the last meeting: 'it was badly attended - besides yourself - Ward and Leighton were absent - but very interesting as Cope brought forward his motion'. Calderon has 'seriously studied the "lighting" at the Salon' and wants to 'try it in one room here'. He ends by asking: 'Will you back me up' On letterhead of 9 Marlborough Place, St John's Wood, NW. 'Sunday Evening' [no date]. unknown

Both from 191 Euston Road London. 19 August 1882 and 7 July 1883. Both items in good condition on lightly-aged paper. Both of them bifoliums with mourning borders; and both in their original envelopes addressed by Marston with stamp and postmarks. ONE: 4pp. 12mo. He begins by stating that he is gratified to find that his poems please Baron. 'The only novel I wrote it is more than 20 years ago has I believe been long out of print. A comparatively short tale entitled "Family Credit" together with other sketches and essays chiefly contributed to "Household Worlds' sic was published many years gone by Messr. Ward and Lock as the 1st. Volume of a Sjhilling series and is possibly still to be had on application to them.' He would gladly send Baron a photograph but his supply is exhausted. 'Very good ones I believe are to be had of the Stereoscope Company Regent Street taken 10 years since and also late of Messrs Elliott & Fry. Baker St.' He apologises for the 'hurried scrawl': 'I am in the midst of preparations for leaving London'. TWO: 4pp. 12mo. He regrest that he cannot 'comply with Mrs. Baron's wishes': 'Years ago some valued letters of Mr. Charles Dickens & other correspondents were destroyed by the lamentable mistake of a servant and of those which remain I have given away all except those which refer to matters important to myself. - All the letters I retain of my late friend D. G. Rossetti are of the same character with the exception of one or two written during his last illness which on that account I desire to preserve.' Baron was a shameless autograph hunter and perhaps this prompts Marston to comment: 'Whenever it is known that autographs of distinguished men are to be had the possessor is immediately applied to so that at this date you will not be surprised to find that I have not one autograph in my possession which I can part with either of Dickens or Rossetti.' Regarding his own 'literary activity' he regrets to say that he has 'no volume of poems in preparation'; his health is 'too much impaired for any mental labour except of the most necessary kind'. He is 'now preparing to quit town for change of air in the hope of benefit'. Both from 191 Euston Road, London. 19 August 1882 and 7 July 1883. unknown
