(EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED BOOKS). (ENGLISH HISTORY, WOMEN IN). (BINDINGS - BAYNTUN). COSTELLO, LOUISA STUART
MEMOIRS OF EMINENT ENGLISHWOMEN
London: Richard Bentley 1844. FIRST EDITION. 220 x 138 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". Four volumes. <br/> HANDSOME BURGUNDY MOROCCO BY BAYNTUN stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-ins covers with triple gilt-ruled frame interlinking with a triple-gilt-ruled diamond raised bands with gilt dots gilt ruled compartments with gilt diamond shapes gilt lettering gilt-ruled turn-ins with a floral tool at each corner all edges gilt. With 18 portraits as called for four of these with hand coloring and EXTRA-ILLUSTRATED WITH AN ADDITIONAL 60 PLATES. Only the barest hint of wear to extremities spines just a shade darker than covers a handful of portraits a bit foxed but A FINE SET clean and fresh internally the bindings lustrous and the set obviously very little used.<br/> <br/> This is a very attractively bound set containing the biographies of 38 notable Englishwomen extra-illustrated with plates depicting some of the people and places integral to the subjects' lives. Covering the period from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the 18th century these four volumes include many women of noble birth and position such as Arabella Stuart Elizabeth Cromwell and Elizabeth Stuart Queen of Bohemia; poets and artists such as Susanna Centlivre Lady Mary Wortley Montagu and Mary Beale; and women famous for their fantastic deeds such as Jane Lane who assisted Charles II during his escape after the Battle of Worcester. Our author Louisa Stuart Costello 1799-1870 was a miniaturist poet and writer of biographies travel stories and fiction. According to DNB "her biographies of royal and noble women--which clearly traded on the popularity of similar works by Lucy Aikin the Strickland sisters and Mary Anne Everett Green--were creditable examples of this literary genre and generally involved some original research." For the present work Costello relied heavily on access to the library and papers of the duke of Devonshire whom she thanks in her introduction. In addition to 18 portraits called for in the contents several of which were drawn by Costello herself this set has been "grangerized" with 60 additional plates that further illustrate the life and times of these illustrious women. The lustrous bindings by an eminent British firm are an additional source of pleasure making a beautiful appearance on the shelf. Richard Bentley unknown

A charming tribute with subtle overtures from three Swedish bachelors living in Mexico to three California sisters whose hunting prowess was described in an article in the "Mexican Herald." Headlined "Three California Dianas. They Kill Bears and Panthers and Olive in Particular is an Expert Shot" the article describes the sisters who live in the "wilderness above Ukiah California" as "sportswomen of rare talent" and gives an account of their encounter with a bear which ends up with their treeing and killing the animal. The letter reads in part: ".we think it would interest you to know that your bravery and pluck are known even outside your own Country . We have read and reread the article and . we could not restrain ourselves from sending our respects. Down here you would find a great field for your guns. We have all kinds of big game . it is nothing unusual to meet an 8 or 9 feet sic tiger on the roads when we are out riding. We will described one of our hunting experiences that might interest you." The letter goes on to relate how after wounding and trailing a deer towards a lagoon "a big Puma jumped out from the jungle and pounced upon our poor wounded deer. A rifleshot and we had both deer and Puma." The letter continues: "We are three Swedes 26 28 & 31 years old and run a fruit plantation in partnership in the district of Huasteca on the shores of the beautiful Panuco river. We have been here only 5 months but we have found the prospects for the future very bright. We would greatly enjoy a few lines from you as to ascertain whether our epistle ever reached you . and if the article is a ghost-story or not." They close "With admiration for the 3 brave Dianas in California. unknown

LEILA ADA, THE JEWISH CONVERT: AN AUTHENTIC MEMOIR.
Philadelphia: Presbyterian Board of Publication, 1853. 12mo. Vii, 230 pages. First edition. Tissued frontispiece engraving of Leila Ada, inscribed "Yours in Jesus, Leila Ada. " A quote from the first chapter: "The Mishna is said to be an oral law, received from the lips of God, and intended as an exponent of his written law. But we should transgress the purity which religion demands, were we to quote some of its puerile and absurd follies. If those who penned it set about their work with an intention to shock common sense, and load the Jewish religion with contempt, they could scarcely have acquitted themselves better. And let no one suppose that our strictures are unkind: any one at all acquainted with the Mishna, will at once perceive them to be within the bounds of that charity and pity, which we owe to those who err. Indeed, it were but too easy to quote passages which would justify our severest censures. But withal, the Mishna is surrounded with a degree of obscurity and hardness, owing to its orientalisms, and a considerable pervasion of a sort of Hebræo-Grecism in its structure. This obscurity has given rise to another commentary, called the Gemara, or completion. One Gemara, written in Palestine, forms with the Mishna, the Jerusalem Talmud, and another, written at Babylon, composes the Babylonish Talmud, Thus the Mishna, which the Jews declare to be God's own interpretation of his law, requires interpretation from man, and the whole together forms a mighty work of twelve folio volumes. These are the volumes which contain the whole of the Jewish divinity; for, dishonouring to God, they have almost completely withdrawn the Jews from the study of Moses and the Prophets. In common with the rest of her nation, the Talmud formed the basis of Leila's religious education. Of the Old Testament she knew comparatively little. It is far from certain, indeed, that she knew a great deal of the Talmud. For this there were causes: -first, she did not like its study: she tells us in her Reflections, that while believing in its divinity, as she was instructed, she experienced a smothered dislike to many of its forms, observances, and precepts. 'I felt it, ' she says, 'smouldering at the bottom of my heart long before I had moral courage to permit a single thought upon it. I shuddered at my suspicions as blasphemous, yet I could not conquer them. But as the Spirit of God opened my eyes, I felt no difficulty in fully avowing my severest thoughts upon the inane, absurd, debasing studies of the Talmud. I felt no compunction while I openly declared to my own heart that it was an impure, stupid fabrication, composed by fallen and sinful man. ' What a volume is contained in these few thrilling sentences! Would the sons of Jacob speak out, how many would tell us the same story? Impossible it is but that among them there are thousands who, while they dare not repudiate the Talmud, are conscious of a feeling of offence at its impurities, and absurdities. Secondly, her father, although strictly a Jew in belief and profession, gave himself little trouble about their requirements and observances, and, therefore, was very far from pressing them upon his daughter.

(WOMEN BIBLIOPHILES - LIBRARY CATALOGUE). CURRER, FRANCES MARY RICHARDSON
THE LIBRARY OF MISS CURRER AT ESHTON-HALL
London: Robert Triphook 1820. ONE OF 40 COPIES PRINTED. 235 x 142 mm. 9 1/4 x 5 3/4". iii-xi 1 308 pp. lacking the first of the two title pages at front. <br/> In a very nice replica binding of honey-brown sheepskin over marbled boards raised bands ruled in gilt gilt titling. Front free endpaper INSCRIBED IN INK BY CURRER: With Miss Currer's Compliments"; small ownership perforation of the Bradford Free Library on title page and p. 99; two small ink stamps on p. 59 and 99. Front free endpaper with thinned area where indication of earlier ownership likely appeared. The boards just very lightly scuffed though probably to provide a feeling of authenticity otherwise only trivial imperfections. Apart from the signs of library ownership a very fine copy the text showing virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is a presentation copy of the first library catalogue of Frances Mary Richardson Currer an Englishwoman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library . . . in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall in North Yorkshire was surpassed only by three collections those of Earl Spencer and the dukes of Devonshire and Buckingham. According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." With just 40 copies printed this first printing there was a 1933 second edition is very rarely seen on the market. Robert Triphook unknown

(WOMEN BIBLIOPHILES). (CURRER, FRANCES MARY RICHARDSON, HER COPY). COOPER, JAMES FENIMORE
THE TWO ADMIRALS. A TALE OF THE SEA
London: Richard Bentley 1842. FIRST EDITION. 195 x 115 mm. 7 3/4 x 4 5/8". Three volumes. <br/> Contemporary half calf over brown marbled boards raised bands with gilt tooling spine panels blind-stamped in a scolloped pattern red morocco label marbled endpapers and edges. Front pastedown with the bookplate of the celebrated book-collector Frances Mary Richardson Currer of Eshton Hall in each volume. Provenance: Dibdin "Reminiscences of a Literary Life" 1836 pp. 949–57; De Ricci "English Collectors of Books and Manuscripts" 1930 pp. 141-43. Extremities a bit rubbed boards lightly chafed occasional minor marginal stains or light patches of foxing but a pleasing copy generally clean and fresh in sturdy original bindings with no significant condition issues.<br/> <br/> This novel of the British navy during the Jacobite Rebellion comes from the library of a woman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Frances Mary Richardson Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library and also possessing a fine collection of prints shells and fossils in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall was "surpassed only by those of Earl Spencer the duke of Devonshire and the duke of Buckingham." According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." Although best known for his Leatherstocking Tales set on the early American frontier James Fenimore Cooper 1789-1851 had originally intended a career in the navy and spent several years at sea before an inheritance from his father allowed him to pursue a literary career. Deemed by Day "an excellent naval novel" the text here is a poignant tale of conflicting loyalties and the importance of friendship seen through the eyes of the titular "Two Admirals" lifelong friends supporting opposing political forces in the contest over the Stuart succession to throne of Britain.

(WOMEN) HUTH, HELEN ROSE
Splendid album containing 50 watercolors 70 photographs and fine calligraphic selections of poems and prose
This magnificent imposing album was made by a prominent late-Victorian hostess patron of the arts and gifted artist.<br />Folio. Approx. 225 pages heavy card. Brown morocco gilt-stamped "H.R.H." metal lock and corner-pieces gilt edges rubbed at joints. Excellent condition.<br /><br />Helen Rose Huth was the wife of the banker Louis Huth. The Huths were major art collectors who displayed their art in the gallery built for the purpose at their home Possingworth. Helen sat for both George Frederic Watts and James Abbott McNeill Whistler who painted the celebrated Arrangement in Black No. 2: Portrait of Mrs Louis Huth. Whister required many sittings and when she complained that Watts never treated her that way Whistler replied "And still you know you come to me!" After Louis Huth's death in 1905 she married Archibald Howe.<br /><br />The album the product of vast labor contains 50 watercolors all but four by Mrs. Huth comprising studies of flowers landscapes and other scenes in Possingworth East Sussex and Scalpay and other Hebridean locations; 70 photographs of buildings landscapes people and paintings; and six pen-and-ink or pencil sketches. Many of the watercolors bear signatures dates and places. The album is filled with elegant calligraphic transcriptions of poems and prose pieces by Victorian writers the Brownings being particular favorites often with pen-and-ink floral borders. A number of the unsigned poems appear to be by Helen Rose Huth herself.<br /><br />The earliest watercolor in the album is dated 1879 and work continued until at least 1905. In that year Louis Huth died. A photograph of his tombstone is displayed opposite a portrait of the banker. A fine seated studio portrait of Helen Rose Huth dated 1895 appears early in the volume. The photographs are often connected to the subjects of the poems they accompany.<br /><br />Provenance: Helen Rose Huth 1837-1924. The Huths' fine country house Possingworth Park completed in 1866 "was a highly ornate neo-Gothic mansion … The house contained 42 bedrooms large oak panelled reception rooms and a conservatory named the Winter Garden. There was also a large picture gallery. Louis Huth was a passionate art collector and his house was designed to display artwork at its best. A large picture gallery on the ground floor was designed specifically to exhibit his most treasured artworks. … Possingworth was also the venue of a secret meeting between Major Generals Montgomery and Eisenhower in 1942. There they laid plans for the cross-channel invasion that was to take place two years later" Holy Cross Priory website. The house is now Holy Cross Priory. <br /> hardcover
