1822réf. 196023Paris: A. and W. Galignani 1822-23 but 1824. The four volumes containing Don Juan extracted from Galignani's edition of Byron's Works. The satirical Romantic epic is presented in appealing period bindings. "Virginia Woolf described Don Juan as the most readable poem in the language. only The Canterbury Tales can compare in terms of stylistic brilliance. It is also the funniest poem in the language" ODNB. Cantos I and II of Don Juan were first published anonymously in 1819; further cantos appeared intermittently the last published in March 1824; the poem remained unfinished. 4 vols octavo 172 x 102 mm. Contemporary green calf twin red calf labels compartments richly tooled in gilt and blind boards panelled with single fillet and foliate borders in gilt enclosing scrollwork panel with foliate and floral tools in blind marbled endpapers and edges red silk bookmarkers.

1929réf. 4251London: Chappell & Co. n.d. 1929 1929. Signed by Coward and bound for his lover and manager John Wilson. First edition of the complete vocal score. Quarto. 275x210. pp. 4 163 1 advert. Bound by Bumpus in red morocco with double fillet border in gilt to upper and lower cover lettered in gilt to upper cover and spine. Some rubbing and wear to the corners. Original wrappers bound in. The front pastedown has the bookplate of Herbert Schimmel who put together the greatest collection of books and material related to Noel Coward and Ivor Novello. The title page has Coward's somewhat faint signature in mauve ink. A nice copy with an excellent provenance of this popular and highly successful romantic operetta which contains the wonderfully sentimental and nostalgic song "I'll see you again". In centre of the upper cover stamped in gilt is "J.W. from N.C.". J.W. is John Wilson and N.C. is of course Coward. Wilson was a stockbroker from New Jersey whose life became considerably more glitzy than these unpromising beginnings might have suggested. He and Coward met in 1924. Coward fell in love and Wilson became his business manager in part so that they had an explanation for the amount of time they spent together. The two men lived together for a while along with Coward's parents who no doubt provided additional cover. But Wilson was a loose cannon. A heavy drinker he stole money from Coward who ignored his behaviour and demanded that others do so too. By the late 1930s even Coward had tired of Wilson who returned to America where he became a successful theatre director and producer Kiss me Kate being his biggest hit. He then married an emigrée Russian princess who found him amusing and given that she disliked sex was happy to ignore his gay philandering. Bitter Sweet indeed. London: Chappell & Co. n.d. [1929] unknown
16778vo., First Edition, on laid paper, with title in red and black, title mildly age-browned; strongly bound in nineteenth century half calf, marbled boards, expertly rebacked with old backstrip laid down, leather label lettered in gilt, red sprinkled edges, a very good, bright, crisp copy. With the nineteenth century bookplate of Charles Noel Welman on front paste-down. With a lengthy and neatly calligraphed provenance (1860) by Welman on two preliminaries, eighteenth century MS signature on title verso and earlier MS notes on rear free endpaper. A crisp copy of what is arguably Hanmer's best-known work, though authorship has been attributed sometime to others. Jonathan Hanmer (1606-1687), ejected minister, and lecturer at Barnstaple from 1646 to 1662, was father to John Hanmer, an ancestor of the Welman family as outlined in the inscription. RARE.
