1785réf. Dublin1785GILPIN John aka COWPER William -- Adaptation: The life of John Gilpin taken From divers Manuscripts in the Possession of the Family and now published for the first Time by their Permission for the Gratification of the Public Curiousity respecting so extraordinary a Character. Dublin: Printed for Messrs. Burnet White Burton H. Whitestone Byrne Cash M'Donnel and Marchbank 1785. 12mo viii 144pp complete but lacking front and rear blank free endleaves; early brown tree-calf scuffed outer hinges and corners worn. Rare first Irish edition of a little known entirely spurious and understandably comedic prose 'life' of the fictional draper from Cheapside John Gilpin star of William Cowper's ballad 'The diverting history of john gilpin'. Cowper's verse which follows Gilpin on an intended journey to the Bell Inn Edmondton during which he became separated from his family and was taken by an out of control horse to a town ten miles distant had first appeared anonymously in the Public Advertiser 1782. The poem's popularity was immortalised in a series of performances at Freemason's Hall by the acclaimed Shakespearean actor John Henderson 1747-1785 and well capitalised upon by the London ballad and print trade as well as by provincial stage-managers. This present attempt in thirteen chapters at telling the earlier and post ballad-journey life of the unfortunate Gilpin is perhaps unsurprisingly given the desire for popularity by association dedicated to Henderson. It includes a narrative re-telling of the abortive trip to the Bell as Chapter X 'How he intended to have dined at Edmondton and was carried Ten Miles beyond it' as well as reprinting the verse original 'as read repeatedly with the greatest applause by Mr. Henderson'. All editions of this fictional work first published by S. Bladon London 1785 and reprinted twice there in the same year are rare; ESTC locates only four copies of this first Irish edition in the British Isles BL Cambridge Dublin and NLI and just three elsewhere Princeton Rutgers and Nebraska-Lincoln.

1923réf. 20518Boston: R. H. Hinkley 1923. 8vo. 14 vols. 70 plts. This handsome and much-sought edition of the King James Bible was printed at the Merrymount Press and limited to 2574 sets: 1000 on wove paper 1000 on laid paper 488 on handmade paper and 86 on Japan paper. This set is #233 printed on handmade paper and contains 70 fine plates usually 5 per volume and mostly photogravures after paintings. The edition was designed for smooth reading and the text is set in ordinary paragraphs without chapter and verse numbers. This work has a complicated and as yet not fully explained printing history. It was probably first printed in 1904 with sheets reissued or reprinted at various times in the subsequent two decades. Even the name of the publisher on the title-page varies; "The Grolier Society" sometimes appears in place of Hinkley. Binding: Publisher's quarter tan pigskin spine leather over deeply grained polished bare wooden boards with bevelled edges on the three outer sides in the style of incunable and 16th-century books. Raised bands on spines; spine panels tooled and lettered in blind. Unusual and attractive. Smith 209; Hills 2155 for the 1904 edition and explanation of reissues.

1638réf. 022099Cambridge: Thomas Buck and Roger Daniel 1638. . Your chance to own a complete Bible apart from one leaf printed only 27 years after the King James Version first came out - a huge one 15 inches tall similar to the pictures you may have seen of original 1611 editions. Hinges and extremities have wear and tear and clasps are missing. Early and late pages have furrows perhaps suggesting moisture issues long ago. A few small holes to pages appear to have been caused by rust and therefore presumably contamination of the paper by specks of ferrous metal. There are no extra materials apart from the translators' addresses to King James and to the reader at the front and the Apocrypha located between the Old and New Testaments. No endpapers - inside of front cover has old stamps of Thomas Garbutt Linen and Woollen Draper Barnard Castle likely from 100 or more years ago. The date of 1638 which is printed on the NT title page has also been added in an old but plain style in black pen at the bottom of the illustrated main title page which is a bit worn and grubby. Page 611-612 middle of Hosea is missing seeming at first glance not to have been present but in fact some tiny fragments do appear at the spine. The last page of text is dilapidated but the text of it seems near complete. Some old repairs have been made to borders of pages by pasting on paper which mostly seems of a similar nature to the original and in general when doing this care seems to have been taken not to obscure the text. The exterior is not elaborate but has a 3 inch long rhombus shaped area of gilt decoration to the middle of each of the two boards; there is no lettering or decoration to the spine. There are pictorial drop initials at the beginning of each book of the Bible and Apocrypha. This specific printing is said to have remained the standard text until the printing of Dr Paris' Cambridge edition of 1762. Leather. Average. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.

1837réf. List3613Philadelphia: Firth Meignen & Co. Publishers & Importers of Music and Musical Instruments No. 41 Chestnut Street 1837. Seven pages complete including dance figures. Folio sheet music. Very good with scattered foxing and light edge wear. A rare early American operatic dance arrangement by Francis Johnson 1792-1844 widely regarded as the first published Black composer in the United States. Issued circa 1837 this work adapts themes from Vincenzo Bellini's opera La Sonnambula 1831 into a set of quadrilles with concluding waltz arranged for piano forte and structured for social dancing. The internal headings "Pantalon" "Ladies Chain" etc. retain the formal quadrille sequence reflecting the popularity of European ballroom forms in Philadelphia during the period. Johnson a Philadelphia bandleader composer and virtuoso keyed bugle player published approximately seventy compositions over nearly three decades. Active in Philadelphia from at least the 1810s he became one of the city's most sought-after musicians leading ensembles for cotillions public balls military functions and civic celebrations. In 1818 became the first African-American composer known to have sheet music published in the United States. His band performed for elite social events and public commemorations including celebrations for the Marquis de Lafayette's visit to Philadelphia. In 1838 he toured Europe with his ensemble performing in England and reportedly receiving a silver trumpet from Queen Victoria. This piece was composed a year earlier per the Johnson page at Musicalgeography.com six years after Bellini's work. Operatic paraphrases and dance adaptations of fashionable European works were central to Johnson's output. Overall a quite scarce early title from an important composer. We find two copies in OCLC 692295106 at AAS and the William Clements Library. See "Francis Johnson's Compositions - With Sheet Music" https://musicalgeography.org/francis-johnsons-compositions/.
