With engraved bookplate of George Clinton Ward on front flyleaf most now loose. Spines with just a hint of dulling a whisper of shelfwear to a couple of volumes isolated small marginal smudges from the printing process but A VERY FINE SET WITH VIRTUALLY NO SIGNS OF USE.<br/> <br/> This superb set features English translations of important Classical texts handsomely printed on Japanese vellum extravagantly illustrated and sumptuously bound. It contains "The Wisdom of Marcus Aurelius" "The Eclogues of Vergil" "Sayings of Epictetus" "Selections from Gesta Romanorum" "Odes of Anacreon Anacreontics and Other Selections from the Greek Anthology" "The Satires of Horace" "The Story of Odysseus in the Land of the Phacians Being the Sixth and a Part of the Seventh Book of the Odyssey" "Selections from Aristophanes and Lucian" "The Olympic and Pythian Odes of Pindar" and selections from the Koran translated by George Sale. The project was undertaken by writer translator and editor Nathan Haskell Dole a popular member of the Boston literary set. Educated at Philips Andover and Harvard he was much influenced by family friends like Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. He showed an early facility for languages teaching himself to read French German Greek and Latin. Our set was designed by Dole to be the crown jewel of a library combining beauty and luxury with Classical erudition. The bindings here are unsigned but are very similar to those on a copy of this work in the Phoebe Boyle sale bound by the Adams Bindery. Ralph Randolph Adams was along with Henry Stikeman and a handful or others one of the great American art bookbinders of his era. His workshop produced bindings of notable beauty and craftsmanship. The New York Times 11 October 1902 described an Adams binding as "so exquisite in design and execution that those long skeptical of the ability of Americans to bind artistically should now be convinced of their error. . . . It is to be hoped that all American binders will be encouraged to strive toward producing designs like Adams' that are in a measure original and which show more of the individual touch of the artist.".

Harper & Brothers Publishers 1846. Hardcover. Good. As the novel appeared in France first in serial form during the years 1844-1845 this 1846 ed. must be one of the first translations into English.

(BINDINGS - CUNEO). (COLOR PLATE BOOKS, ENGLISH AQUATINTS). HARDY, JOSEPH
A PICTURESQUE AND DESCRIPTIVE TOUR IN THE MOUNTAINS OF THE HIGH PYRENEES
London: R. Ackermann 1825. FIRST EDITION. 236 x 144 mm. 9 1/4 x 5 3/4". vii 1 84 pp. <br/> STRIKING DARK GREEN MOROCCO VERY ELABORATELY GILT BY CUNEO stamp-signed on lower front turn-in for Mildred B. Davey named stamped on upper front turn-in covers with geometric Art Deco frame smooth spine in compartments with triangle ornaments gilt lettering git-ruled turn-ins marbled endpapers. Housed in matching green morocco-backed clamshell box lined with fleece. Engraved map and 24 FINE DELICATELY HAND-COLORED PLATES inlaid on heavy stock as issued; original tissue guards. Verso of front free endpaper with engraved bookplate of Mildred Davey and red morocco ex-libris of Paul Edward Chevalier; front flyleaf with 19th century ink owner inscription of William Mitchell. A Large Paper Copy. Abbey Travel 210; Tooley 245; S. T. Prideaux "Aquatint Engraving: A Chapter in the History of Book Illustration" p. 229. See Peter Thorold "The British in France: Visitors and Residents since the Revolution" p. 64. A very small ink spot just intruding on very bottom edge of a handful of leaves a few vague spots of foxing to map isolated faint offsetting from illustrations but A VERY FINE COPY in all other ways--the text clean fresh and bright the plates immaculate the margins spacious the binding lustrous and sparkling.<br/> <br/> This is a lovely copy of a work with plates Prideaux considers "among the most beautiful to be found in aquatint engraving" and it comes in a handsome binding commissioned by Mildred Benson Davey and later owned by Paul Chevalier. Issued by a publisher known for his lavishly illustrated travelogues the volume takes us on a journey through the scenic French Pyrenees escorted by Englishman Joseph Hardy who adds his insights on the local population and government gives recommendations on the best mineral baths and describes in word and image the breathtaking scenery. The views are small measuring approximately 90 x 70 mm. but as Abbey notes "part of their charm is certainly in their small size." Sarah Prideaux praised their composition: "The ground is exceedingly fine and there is no line whatever. The colouring is most delicate and all the twenty-four illustrations are exquisite." We can only be impressed by the achievement of the colorist; the detail is cleanly executed the colors are luminescent and the images do not disappoint even under magnification. Thorold notes that this work was "a great success" and was later translated into French. Our copy was bound in a bold modern design at the Chicago workshop founded by in 1926 by John Cuneo 1884-1977. Cuneo hired fine British craftsmen like the Englishman Leonard Mounteney to create bibliophile-quality bindings for American collectors. After apprenticing at the bindery of G. & J. Abbott in Nottingham and studying ornamental design at the Battersea Polytechnic Mounteney worked as an exhibition finisher for Riviere before emigrating to Chicago where he initially worked with Alfred de Sauty at the R. R. Donnelley bindery before joining Cuneo's hand bindery. The present binding was a commission for Mildred Benson Davey 1890-1953 daughter of the founder of Benson & Rixon men’s clothiers. Cuneo also bound books for Chicago retail magnate Marshall Fields. Later our binding was appreciated by distinguished connoisseur Paul Chevalier whose library of beautiful volumes was uniformly characterized by outstanding workmanship and superb condition. The sale of his books in 1990 represented one of the best collections of 20th century bindings brought to auction in the past half century. Laid in is Christie's slip from Chevalier's 9 November sale where this appeared as lot 23 selling for $935. R. Ackermann unknown

SHERIDAN, Thomas (1719-1788)
Lectures on the art of reading; First Part: Containing The Art of Reading Prose. By Thomas Sheridan A.M. Author of Lectures on Elocution British Education &c
London: printed for J. Dodsley Pall-Mall; J. Wilkie St. Paul’s Church-Yard; E. and C. Dilly in the Poultry; and T. Davies Russel-Street Covent-Garden MDCCLXXV 1775. First Edition. Full Calf. Fine. First Edition. 8vo; xii 392pp. Beautifully bound by Fitterer to period style in full speckled calf spine in six compartments between raised bands ruled in gilt original olive-green lettering piece gilt. An excellent example the pages clean bright and free of foxing. Lowndes 2380. Sheridan was an Irish stage actor educator and incidentally godson of Jonathan Swift and father of the playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan as well as a major proponent of the elocution movement. In Western classical rhetoric elocution the art of delivering speeches was one of the five core disciplines of pronunciation emerging as a formal discipline during the eighteenth century.

Provenance: signature of the bibliophile Douglas Grant in pencil to front fly-leaf. Wither to Prior 941. Grolier English 100 27. First Collected Edition the "most sumptuous ever published. It contains all the poems which had hitherto appeared to which the editor has added four new . . . Waller's letter are added for the first time and the various prefaces to the earlier editions are reprinted. Finally the information given in the notes is so full and accurate that little has been left to the research or correction of later editions." Wither to Prior Waller's poems were widely read during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. "Dryden who greatly admired Waller and consistently treated him as mentor and precursor claimed that ‘the well-placing of words for the sweetness of pronunciation was not known till Mr. Waller introduced it.' . . . When neo-classical canons of correctness fell out of fashion in the nineteenth century Waller's poetic reputation plummeted and it has never fully recovered though . . . renewed interest in court culture and in the intersection of literature and history toward the end of the twentieth century has led to a modest Waller revival."

Fine. 12mo: xxx42;72pp with frontispiece portrait of the poet frontispiece to the separately paginated Cyder woodcut head- and tailpieces. Contemporary speckled calf covers framed with double fillets in gilt spine with five raised bands ruled in gilt recent red morocco lettering piece gilt edges speckled red. A Fine—indeed exceptional—copy. Foxon p. 570. Tenth Edition but first under this title collecting The Splendid Shilling; Blenheim An Ode in Latin and English and most importantly Cyder—A Poem in Two Books Fourth Edition printed for J. and R. Tonson and S. Draper 1744. Many of Philips's poems including his first the Splendid Shilling which The Tatler commended as "the finest Burlesque Poem in the British Language" were composed in Miltonic blank verse. "Philips's greatest poem the two-book georgic Cyder 1708 begun at Oxford celebrates his native land and in particular Herefordshire with a combination of accurate knowledge of apples and cider making and a ‘sketch of our National History.' The botanist Philip Miller told Dr. Johnson that ‘there were many books written on the same subject in prose which do not contain so much truth as that poem.' . . . Philips taught Pope who drew on Cyder in Windsor Forest how to use Paradise Lost for un-Miltonic purposes and to suggest that paradise might still be found in England's green and pleasant land." ODNB. printed for E. Curll, in Covent-Garden unknown
