MORGAN Sydney Owenson
L'Italie, par Lady Morgan
- Chez Pierre Dufart, A Paris 1821, in-8 (14x22,5cm), (6) 415pp. et (4) 416pp. et (4) 439pp. et (4) 503pp., 4 volumes reliés. - Edition originale de la traduction française par Mlle Saubry : la première édition anglaise est parue à la même date. Reliures en plein cartonnage à la bradel bleu marine. Dos lisses ornés de filets, roulette en queue. Titres et tomaisons dorés. Dos uniformément assombris. Traces de frottement en coiffes et coins et bordures. Pâles rousseurs éparses sur un papier vergé demeuré frais. Au tome III, feuillet 91 détaché. L'ouvrage fut établi par l'auteur d'après son propre journal rédigé durant les années 1819 et 1820. Le voyage commence par les Alpes, puis par le Piémont, la Lombardie, Gêne, Plaisance, Parme, Bologne, Modène, la Toscane, Rome, Naples et Venise. En dehors d'être une narration classique d'un voyage en Italie, même si sa perception par une femme anglaise est particulière, le livre brille par certains aspects tout à fait nouveaux à l'époque, car Lady Morgan jette un regard politique sur tout ce qu'elle voit, regard d'une femme indépendante, à l'esprit libéral et démocratique. A cet égard, l'uvre fit du bruit à sa publication et suscita de fortes réactions dans l'opinion publique en Italie, précisément dans le Royaume de Piémont-Sardaigne et l'État de la Lombardie-Vénétie, dont l'auteur avait dénoncé la politique répressive. Par ailleurs, cette visée politique et cette critique étaient d'emblée dans les bagages de l'auteur puisque son livre, non encore écrit, était déjà un projet éditorial. Charles Morgan, son mari, prit soin de nourrir le livre par des statistiques et des notes précises. Cette Italie de Lady Morgan est en tous les cas un témoignage sur l'Italie de la Restauration fort précieux et intéressant. Le récit fut salué à sa parution par Byron pour la justesse de ses observations. [ENGLISH DESCRIPTION ON DEMAND]

A picture of this book is ava 'The record of his journey, published in 1812 during his second absence in Persia, at once took rank as an important authority on a country then little known to Englishmen, and by its admirable style and accurate observation, its humour and graphic power, still holds a foremost place among early books of travel in Persia' [DNB]. Abbey Travel 357. Atabey 837. Prideaux pp. 241: the author 'was also an artist of some merit, and his illustrations to his Travels are of considerable interest.' The plates are mainly views. There are appendices on the money of Persia, routes through Persia, section on Arab pirates. The author travelled extensively in what is now Iran, including Bushire, Shiraz, Persepolis, Ispahan, Teheran, Tabriz, Arz-roum, Amasia and finally to Constantinople.

Morrill, G L [Gulian Lansing]
Golightly 'Round The Globe
Chicago: M. A. Donohue & Co 1913. HB. Blindstamped blue cloth gilt lettering on front cover and spine 12mo 216 pp. Humorous account of this authors' travels. G.L. "Golightly" Morrill 1857-1928 received a degree in theology from the University of Chicago. He became a minister but gained national attention by breaking away from all established churches and founded an unorthodox "People's Church" in Minneapolis. He traveled widely and was the author of dozens of books. In his obituary in the Los Angeles Times it is noted "Probably the most unique funeral service ever conducted was held here today when the voice of Rev. G.L. "Golightly" Morrill was heard preaching his own funeral service. The words were heard over the body of the noted writer and world traveler in a local funeral parlor this morning. They issued from a phonograph which was playing a record dictated by Morrill himself months ago in preparation for his final rites. After the sermon another record was placed on the machine and Morrill's voice was heard singing a religious song." He picked up the nickname "Golightly" from an an associate who told him the Baptist Church officials were getting uneasy about his church services where he told jokes had musicians drummers slide projected images and Hula Dancers. The associate told him he had better "go lightly" in the future. GL did not change his methods but did adopt "Golightly" as his pen-name. Illustrated with sketches and photos by Lowell L. Morrill. Some penciled bracketing of text binding tight. Spine lightly sunned faint soiling rear cover. Book condition VG-. M. A. Donohue & Co hardcover
