1810rif. 437London: William Miller John Murray & Longman et al. 1810. 1st Dibdin Edition. Modern calf reback over contemporary calf boards. Very Good. The first Dibdin edition of Typographical Antiquities is a seminal work in the history of printing scholarship providing a comprehensive account of early English Scottish and Irish printing and serving as a foundational reference for bibliographers and collectors.

Subscribers included King George III prominent British Institutions like the British Museum and Cambridge University and numerous prominent publishing houses some of which bought dozens of copies. PROVENANCE From the library of Arthur Dalrymple 1808-1868 FSA Fellow Society of Antiquaries a solicitor and antiquary from Norwich England.

Overall Condition: Very Good SET INFO Published in London by William Miller Vol I and II John Murray Vol III and Longman Hurst et al. Vol. IV. Each volume published separately between 1810-1819 and issued to subscribers: Volume I 1810 Volume II 1812 Volume III 1816 Volume IV 1819.

Dibdin was one of the founders and vice-president of the Roxburghe Club established in 1812 considered the first English bibliophile society. The club encouraged the production and reprinting of rare books stimulating a culture of book collecting that profoundly influenced English literary and bibliographical history. Dibdin's legacy lies less in his enthusiasm for books colorful writing style encouragement of book collecting and role in creating bibliophile societies that preserved rare works for future generations.

THE LIBRARY COMPANION; Or the young man's guide and the old man's comfort in the choice of a library

1824rif. 164843London: N 1824. Pp. ivlii912 title page vignette index errata; thick demy 8vo; early half calf over marbled papered boards rebacked not recently with the original gilt lettered and decorated spine laid on the gilt worn away from the decorations between the raised bands the boards a trifle rubbed edges lightly worn with a few mainly small surface chips heavier below top fore-corner of upper board both joints worn with the upper joint cracking; uncut; ribbon marker; hinges cracking book label of David Levine Sydney on upper pastedown some light foxing and browning occasional slight soiling; printed for Harding Triphook and Lepard and J. Major London 1824. First edition one volume issue. 100 large paper copies were issued in two volumes. Windle & A50a. Tipped-in after the upper free endpaper is an autograph letter from Dibdin signed and dated April 15 1814 with an integral address leaf to W. Godwin Bookseller franked by Earl Spencer in Bath. George John Spencer 2nd Earl Spencer 1758-1834 served as Home Secretary from 1806 to 1807. He was renowned for his vast and impressive book collection and was the instigator and first President of the Roxburghe Club the oldest society of bibliophiles in the world. Thomas Frognall Dibdin 1776-1847 was also a founding member of the Roxburghe Club. Earl Spencer was Dibdin's patron for many years opening up the library at Althorp to Dibdin for cataloguing. The resulting Bibliotheca Spenceriana a Descriptive Catalogue of the Books Printed in the Fifteenth Century and of Many Valuable First Editions in the Library of George John Earl Spencer is regarded as one of the most thorough and elaborate catalogues of a private library. In 1818 Spencer commissioned Dibdin to buy books for him on the continent a trip described in Bibliographical Antiquarian and Picturesque Tour in France and Germany 1821. Dibdin also wrote Aedes Althorpianae an account of Althorp giving many details of the library. The letter to Godwin is Dibdin's response to a request for a copy of Bibliotheca Spenceriana: 'Sir I understand you have solicited for a third copy of the B S as subscribed for last July - but am sorry to add that such third copy never came to my knowledge and there must have been a mistake somewhere. It is wholly out of my power to furnish you with it. I am Sir Your undeciphered T. F. Dibdin.' It is possible that the recipient could have been the writer and political philosopher William Godwin 1756-1836 widower of Mary Wollstonecraft and father of Frankenstein author Mary Shelley. At the time of the letter 1814 Godwin was a bookseller and publisher in partnership with his second wife Mary Jane Clairmont. In 1805 Mary Jane and William Godwin opened a bookshop and publishing house M. J. Godwin & Co. Among other popular titles the firm published The Swiss Family Robinson and Charles & Mary Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare. The bookshop also known as The Juvenile Library specialised in literature for children. N unknown

Without the oft-missing "Presentation in the Temple" plate in vol. I. This is the only edition of one of Dibdin's most famous books there were 50 on large paper and certainly one of the best printed. Dibdin destroyed the plates for the book at a meeting of the Roxburgh Club. "This work forms one of the monuments of typographical bibliography. As in the style of its production it is the most sumptuous so in the nature of its contents it may be said to be one of the most interesting books relative to ancient and modern printing" Bigmore & Wyman. "The work is written in the same dialogue manner as the Bibliomania with the same interlocutors and may be properly described as a continuation of it. It is perhaps the most lavish of all Dibdin's works" Jackson. Hart 186: "A bibliographer's classic that marks the beginning of the general recognition of bibliomania as a plaything for wealthy."

1832rif. BIBLIO-28129Henry Bohn London first edition 1832. Brown boards perhaps later printed title-labels to front board and spine spine-label perhaps a later addition 8vo 23 cm. 102 pp errata slip tipped-in at p17. Dibdin's survey of the state of the book trade in Bibliophobia came against the backdrop of his own difficult financial circumstances. The particular spur to publication was the ludicrously low prices realized at a sale by Evans on 19 August 1831 of some 13 manuscripts of Scott's novels: hoping to improve on an offer of £1000 for the manuscripts the owners consigned them to auction but realized little over £300. Dibdin laments this and numerous other exmples of shockingly low prices attributing the state of the market not just to a shortage of money but also altered tastes influenced by the impending Reform Bill and the cholera. Dibdin nevertheless manages to end on a note of optimism certain that the tide will turn: it did of course but not in his own lifetime. Presentation Copy inscribed by Dibdin on a front endpaper: " - Morgan Esq. From the Author". Loosely inserted is an autograph letter of Dibdin signed to a Mr Nugee at 20 St James Street proposing to call on him to collect "two precious documents" written on first 2 pages of a single sheet folded once further folded for posting and stamped with penny postage paid and remnants of wax seal. Francis Nugee "tailor &c." is listed at 20 St. James's Street Pall Mall in the 1843 London Post Office directory and other correspondence exists showing him to have been Dibdin's tailor. Small circular blindstamp on front free endpaper "Ex Bibliotheca Dr Detlev Mauss" partly cutting the leaf. Slight wear to head of spine minor marks to boards some foxing throughout otherwise Good. Henry Bohn, London, first edition, 1832 hardcover
