1848pp. (8), (24), 200. Added wood cut title page. Wood cut text illustrations and initials by Richard Doyle. 8vo. 20.5 cm. Attractive Late 19th century binding of half morocco leather over marbled boards . Slightly rubbed. Manuscript inscription to Caroline H. Dall from John Patton, 1850. Leigh Hunt was "as thorough a man of letters as ever existed" (11th Ed. EB). He was much beloved by most of the ma jor English literary figures of the both the Romantic and Victorian periods. Dickens said that he was, "the very soul of truth and honour." His writing still has the capacity to easily charm us. This is a delightful collection of essays on the pastoral poetry of Sicily. It was first issued as a beguiling 'gift book', but has come to be regarded as as worthy sequel to Hunt's critical essays on the English poets ( 'Imagination and Fancy' and 'Wit and Humour'). The illustrative chapter heads by the renowned English caricaturist Richard Doyle (1824-1883) strike just the right tone for this interes ting work. Included are essays on: Christmas and Italy; Sicily, and its Mythology; Glances at Ancient Sicilian History and Biography; Theocritus; Norman Times, Legend of King Robert; Italian and Engli sh Pastoral; Scotch Pastoral; Return to Sicily Mount AEtna; Bees; Miscellaneous Feelings Respecting Sicily, Its Music, Its Religion, and Its Modern Poetry; and, Overflowings of the Jar. "A pleasure so exquisite as almost to amount to pain" -- Leigh Hunt to Alexander Ireland, 2 June 1848. . **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W140

1801Best.-Nr. 23544London: Printed at the Oriental Press by Wilson & Co. for Edward Harding 1801. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Quarto pp 205 217 with two folding hand-colored maps and 47 engraved plates in a contemporary full calf binding with gilt rules spine in six compartments with red and black spine labels and gilt embellisment. Some rubbing to boards especially at joints and head of spine a little worming to boards. Binding sound scattered foxing but generally clean. The maps which are in very nice condition show Pennant's route from London to Dover and then from Dover to the Isle of Wight. "Thomas Pennant was a Welsh antiquarian and naturalist whose works were very popular in the eighteenth century. His reputation was built on his important natural history survey British Zoology first printed in 1766 and his accounts of two tours of Scotland undertaken in 1769 and 1772. Pennant made further tours in Wales and in England between 1773 and 1787 and his popularity among amateur naturalists and antiquarians resulted in the development of a comprehensive network of correspondents many of whom supplied him with additional information that he added to subsequent editions of his works. Aside from his 1783 book describing the antiquities on the road between Chester and London and his immensely popular account of the antiquities of London none of Pennant’s English tours were published during his lifetime. This account of his 1787 tour to the Isle of Wight was edited by his son David and published in 1801. Rather than heading directly to the island Pennant’s tour took in much of the south-east coast of England travelling first from London to Dover before traversing the coasts of Kent and Sussex" Royal Collection Trust.
