1827ref. ST12282London: Printed for Harding & Lepard 1827. Fourth Edition. 292 x 197 mm. 11 1/2 x 7 3/4". Two volumes. HANDSOME EARLY 20TH CENTURY BROWN STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO covers with gilt double fillet border fleuron cornerpieces raised bands spines richly gilt with panels dominated by a bold and complex quatrefoil incorporating spade-like tools and with palmette cornerpieces turn-ins with two gilt fillets marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With a facsimile of Greek and Latin text from the Complutensian Polyglot and volume I with a specimen leaf laid down as called for the leaf taken from the 1826 Pickering Diamond miniature edition of the New Testament. A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedowns with engraved armorial bookplate of John William Pease; rear pastedown with vellum armorial bookplate of Lord Wardington. Lowndes I 639; Brunet II 684 "Édition la plus complète et la meilleure"; Graesse I 382. ◆A touch of rubbing to tail edge of boards one leaf with a thin band of soiling along four inches of the fore edge light glue stain at lower corner of specimen leaf endpapers with faint fox spots isolated minor foxing elsewhere other trivial imperfections but generally A VERY FINE COPY the text clean and fresh with vast margins and the decorative bindings with no significant wear. This is the extremely attractive Wardington copy of the fourth and best edition of this quotable bibliographical classic. It is more heavily weighted than the earlier printings toward the Bible and the early Church Fathers and because of the presence of the Pickering specimen leaf it also qualifies as the earliest example to our knowledge of a leaf book. This was Dibdin's first work as a bibliographer and it quickly became the standard guide in English to editions of the classics. Its favorable notice brought him a position as Lord Spencer's librarian along with ecclesiastical preferment and he was consequently allowed to pursue his bibliographic career without financial worries. Spencer invited him not only to catalogue but also to add to the library at Althorp and Dibdin 1776-1847 turned it into the finest library in private hands in England. Our impressive Large Paper Copy comes from another of England's fine private libraries the collection of Lord Wardington 1924-2005 who was successively Chairman Vice-President and then President of the Friends of the British Library. His grandfather John William Pease was a member of the Northumberland banking and business family who amassed a substantial library and Lord Wardington added greatly to it particularly important Bibles and atlases. The Wardington sales at Sotheby's in London were major bibliophilic events in 2005 and 2006. Printed for Harding & Lepard unknown
