The Whole Exhibiting a View of Literature and Literary Men in Great-Britain for Near Half a Century during which He Flourished. In Two Volumes. London: Printed by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly 1791. First edition first issue with "gve" for "give" in the uncorrected state line 10 on p. 135 in Volume I and all of the errata uncorrected. Two quarto volumes 10 3/4 x 8 7/16 inches; 274 x 216 mm. vii 1 blank ix-xii 16 "Table of Contents" and "Corrections and Additions" 516; 2 588 i.e. 586 pp. Engraved frontispiece by James Heath from a portrait of Johnson by Sir Joshua Reynolds in Volume I two engraved facsimile plates in Volume II. "Round Robin." facing p. 92 and "Fac Similes of Dr. Johnson's hand writing" facing p. 588. Together with at the end of volume II BOSWELL James. The Principal Corrections and Additions to the first edition of Mr. Boswell's Life of Dr. Johnson. London: Printed by Henry Baldwin for Charles Dilly 1793. Title verso blank 42 pp. Bound by Rivi�re & Son ca. 1910 in full mottled calf covers with triple gilt rules.

Expertly rebacked and corners strengthened over fifty years ago with original spines laid down. Occasional light foxing or staining to a few leaves otherwise a fine copy of the first issue with the exceptionally rare Principal Corrections and Additions bound in at the end of volume two. "The work The Principal Corrections and Additions is now difficult to obtain; when it turns up it is almost invariably bound in with a copy of the first edition of the Life." Pottle p. 212. The 'gve' or 'give' question. "Of the four copies in the British Museum two have one reading and two the other. There can be little doubt that 'gve' is the earlier state. The first proof shows the word correctly spelled but the lines are punctuated as follows: 'Short O short! then be thy reign "And give us to the world again.' Boswell passed this in the proof but in the revise both proof and revise are in the possession of Mr. Adam he directed the printer to remove the exclamation point in the first line and substitute it for the first period at the end of the second which is in fact the punctuation of the printed text. When the changes were made the 'i' dropped out and the printer not noticing what had happened filled up the line by inserting a space between 'gve' and 'us'. After a considerable part of the edition had been printed the error was discovered and corrected in the press." Frederick Albert Pottle. The Literary Career of James Boswell p. 151. The correct first issue as here reads" "Short O short then be thy reign "And gve us to the world again!" Boswell's biography of Johnson is a classic of the genre-a full candid account of the life of one of the most famous eighteenth-century writers and thinkers by another. "The Life of Johnson was no single book miraculously produced by an inexperienced author. It was the crowning achievement of an artist who for more than twenty-five years had been deliberately disciplining himself for such a task" Pottle p. xxi. Courtney & Nichol Smith pp. 172-3. Grolier 100 English 65. Pottle 79 & 113. Rothschild 464 & 466. Sterling 71. Tinker 338. <br/><br/> London: Printed by Henry Baldwin, for Charles Dilly, 1791-93 hardcover

SEWELL Anna; KEMP WELCH Lucy Illustrator; BATNTUN RIVIERE binder
Black Beauty
London: J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd. 1966. Anna Sewell's Black Beauty Finely Bound by Bayntun-Rivi�re Beautifully Illustrated by Lucy Kemp-Welch SEWELL Anna. Black Beauty. Illustrated with 8 colour plates and many line drawings by Lucy Kemp-Welch. London: J.M. Dent & Sons Ltd. 1966. Later edition. Octavo 8 1/16 x 5 1/4 inches; 204 x 134 mm. xii 226 pp. Eight full-page color plates and numerous black and white line drawings throughout the text. Bound ca. 1966 by Bayntun Rivi�re for Brentano's in full blue polished calf covers with double gilt borders spine with five raised bands decoratively tooled in compartments two red morocco gilt lettering labels gilt board edges gilt-turn-ins all edges gilt marbled end-papers. Small neat book-plate on front paste-down. A fine copy. A superlative copy of the classic - and quite novel - story of a horse told in his own words wherein he recounts his life as a well bred steed from early childhood in a pleasant meadow through numerous owners - some kind and some cruel - until fate returns him to the meadow in which he was born. Though animal autobiographies had been published before for children Black Beauty stands apart from those in that it offered social criticism of his various owners. Because of that the book was read appreciated and loved by adults as well as juveniles. It has never been out of print since its original publication has been adapted to the screen on fourteen different occasions and has forever fostered and cemented the special bond between young girls and horses. Ultimately Black Beauty's continual and lasting value is as one of the first - and certainly most influential - arguments for the humane treatment of animals. "Beauty's color is no accident Sewell's book is clearly modeled on Harriet Beecher Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin 1852 and the most poignant moments in the narrative occur when Beauty while recognizing the inevitability of servitude nevertheless longs wistfully for freedom" Robert Dingley in Nineteenth-Century British Women Writers p. 354. "Anna Sewell 1820-1878 author was born on 30 March 1820. her 'life of constant frustration' Mrs Bayly 71 began when aged about fourteen she slipped and fell. injuring both her ankles that led to a lameness which although varying in its severity was permanent and meant that at times she could not walk outside or stand for very long. She also suffered from a debilitating invalidism which varied in its intensity but remained with her for life characterized at times by pains in her chest loss of strength in her back and a 'weakness' in her head leading to periods of 'enforced idleness' Mrs Bayly 245. <br/><br/> London: J.M.

London: Macmillan and Co. Limited 1935. In a Fine 'Textured' Inlaid Binding by Bayntun Rivi�re BAYNTUN RIVI�RE binders. THOMSON Hugh illustrator. GASKELL Mrs. Elizabeth. Cranford. With a preface by Anne Thackeray Ritchie and illustrations by Hugh Thomson. London: Macmillan and Co. 1935. Later Hugh Thomson illustrated edition. Octavo 7 1/16 x 4 3/4 inches; 180 x 120 mm. Frontispiece xxx 298 pp. With 110 black and white illustrations in the text. Bound by Bayntun Rivi�re Bath ca. 1935 in full dark blue crushed levant morocco covers decoratively bordered in gilt front cover with a beautifully' contoured' inlaid design in red tan green and brown morocco reproduced from the illustration on page 240 spine with five raised bands decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt gilt board edges and turn-ins marbled endpapers all edges gilt. A very fine example. The front cover illustration is taken from the text illustration on page 240 and depicts Mary Smith the narrator posting a letter to Miss Matty "I dropped it in the post on my way home and then for a minute I stood looking at the wooden pane with a gaping slit which divided me from the letter." Cranford which originally appeared as a serial in Charles Dickens' magazine Household Words 1851-53 and saw its first publication in book form in 1853 is "a series of linked sketches of life among the ladies of a quiet country village in the 1830s.The greatest charm of Cranford which has kept it unfailingly popular is its amused but loving portrait of the old-fashioned customs and 'elegant economy' of a delicately observed group of middle-aged figures in a landscape" Oxford Companion to English Literature. Mrs. Elizabeth Gaskell 1810-1865 a "strong and independent-minded woman" The Feminist Companion to Literature was an important proto-Feminist writer who often tackled unorthodox subjects in her novels. Cranford for example concerns a community of spinsters who glory in their freedom from male interference. Mrs. Gaskell was "'the most popular with small question the most powerful and finished female novelist of an epoch singularly rich in female novelists'" Enclyclopedia of British Women Writers p. 264 citing Mrs. Gaskell's obituary in The Athenaeum. "Critical awareness of Gaskell as a social historian is now more balanced by awareness of her innovativeness and artistic development as a novelist. While scholars continue to debate the precise nature of her talent they also reaffirm the singular attractiveness of her best works" ibid of which Cranford is one. <br/><br/> London: Macmillan and Co., Limited, 1935 hardcover
