The Sunday library; or The Protestant's manual for the Sabbath-day : Being a selection of sermons from eminent divines of the Church of England chiefly within the last half century with occasional biographical sketches and notes. 6 vols complete set

1831Best.-Nr. BIBLIO-59137Longman Rees Orme Brown and Green London first edition 1831. 6 volumes later blue half-calf and cloth gilt spine decoration and red leather title-panels 16mo 18 cm. various paginations tissue-guarded frontispiece portraits. Scarce Rare Book Hub has no auction record since 1954 and that for a supposed '1832' edition. An attractive collection of sermons of which Dibdin wrote in a letter "My hope & object is to fight Methodism with my right hand and radicalism with my left - by the influence of the excellent Sermons selected." Dibdin contributed the biographical sketches and notes in addition to any editing of the sermons but acknowledged privately that these were really included to protect copyright. Some 40 clerics are represented including several acquaintances of Dibdin e.g. Blomfield DOyly Heber Rennell and Sydney Smith. The publication was successful financially with a second edition produced in 1833-35 and Lister notes "Over 4000 sets were sold which is most remarkable in view of the considerable scarcity of the book today". Alas Dibdin's share of the proceeds was insufficient to make much impact on his very poor finances at the time - apart from his other troubles he had expensive costs from defending a libel action he had innocently become involved in. The set is bound without the advertisement leaves or half-titles mentioned in Windle & Pippin otherwise conforming to the pagination of their entry A56a with minor differences Vol III page 2 not numbered Vol IV prelims not numbered. A handsome first edition set slightly rubbed otherwise Very Good with a little faint foxing largely confined to the endpapers. Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown, and Green, London, first edition, 1831 hardcover

The Bibliographical Decameron written in the same dialogue manner and with the same interlocutors as the Bibliomania "is perhaps the most lavish of all Dibdins works and especially in the Large Paper copies the best printedIts publication was a financial success and doubtless marks the high-water mark of the Dibdinian bibliomania." Windle & Pippin 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 estimated number of copies printed of this regular paper issue ranges from 750 to 900 plus 50 on large paper. As usual this set is without the rare ninth plate listed by Windle in Vol. I which was not ready at the time of publication and occurs in only a few copies. Bigmore & Wyman pp. 169-170. Jackson 40. Windle & Pippin A28. 1st Edition. London: Printed For The Author, By W.Bulmer And Co., Shakespeare Press; And Sold by G. and W.Nicol, Payne And Foss, 1817. unknown
