1801pp. (vi), 243. Large 4to. Worn early full leather binding. Signs of prtevious ownerships removed. Very clean and wide margined text. Printed by one of the great firms to work in England in the wake of Baskerville. FIRST EDITION. Henry James Pye (1745-1813), poetaster and poet laureate. He was educated at home until 1762, when he entered Magdalen College, Oxford, as a gentleman-commoner. From an early age Pye cultivated literary tastes, and his main object in life was to obtain recognition as a poet. In 1790 Pye was appointed poet laureate, in succession to Thomas Warton, and he held the office for twenty-three years. He doubtless owed his good fortune to the support he had given the prime minister, Pitt, while he sat in the House of Commons. Pye was the intimate friend of Governor John Penn (1729-1795). This work has been described as his magnum opus, and was dedicated to Addington. W139 ON HOLD

19718vo. First Edition with plates and facsimiles in the text; terracotta cloth gilt back blue endpapers a very good bright clean copy in unclipped dustwrapper. WITH AN A.L.s FROM THE AUTHOR LOOSELY INSERTED. The letter is dated 18 September 1974 and written from Meynell's residence at The Grey House, Lavenham, Suffolk. It is highly characteristic, referring as it does to the design shortcomings of a published document -'the matter of the Report is full of interest - but its presentation - ugh! What conceivable justification is there for the vast head-of-page margins (and diminutive tail-margins) on type pages - made all the sillier by the full page arrangements of illustrated pages.' A copy of a newspaper obituary of the author is also included. A SPLENDID ASSOCIATION COPY OF MEYNELL'S AUTOBIOGRAPHY , ACCOMPANIED BY A TYPICALLY FORTHRIGHT CREATIVE OPINION FROM ONE THE LEADING BRITISH DESIGNERS AND TYPOGRAPHERS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY.
