1697rif. ST15929aYork: J. White for Francis Hildyard 1697. Third Edition. 157 x 92 mm. 6 1/4 x 3 5/8". 2 p.l. 124 pp. Dark blue crushed morocco by Charles Lewis rear flyleaf with early owner's ink notation to this effect giving 1831 as the date of the binding covers bordered by three gilt rules raised bands spine compartments with rows of gilt flowers tan morocco label gilt-rolled turn-ins marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of William Gott; 1906 article reporting on a sale at Sotheby's mentioning this volume specifically laid in at front; rear flyleaf with ink note: "Hibberts sale. 1829 / binding by C. Lewis 1831." Wing M-1810; ESTC R19511. Very slight signs of wear to leather but the attractive binding extremely well preserved and very pleasing. Leaves apparently lightly pressed some foxing and browning to the title page occasional minor foxing elsewhere small repairs to worming on upper corner and head edge of A2 but still a clean and fresh copy internally. First printed in 1685 this is a book with two very different parts the first being a rowdy and amusing poem on Yorkshire ales and the second a much more serious and important linguistic work on the Yorkshire dialect--both offered here in a binding by a prominent English craftsman. Scion of a landed county family and author of well-regarded legal treatises attorney George Meriton 1634-1711 began to create a record of the Yorkshire dialect in 1683 when he published "A York-shire Dialogue in its Pure Natural Dialect." A second edition was printed in 1685 prefaced by the poem "The Praise of York-shire Ale" and with the addition of a pioneering dialect glossary. Our third edition includes more dialogues in the York dialect. According to linguist Martyn Wakelin Meriton's work is still "of the utmost value to our knowledge of late 17th century northern phonology." In addition the work was influential in encouraging others to document regional dialects in Britain. This is an uncommonly seen item. The son of a Hanoverian immigrant Charles Lewis 1786-1836 was apprenticed to Henry Walther at 14 and obtained his freedom in 1807. He set up a shop in Scotland Yard had other addresses in the Strand before establishing himself in Duke Street St. James in 1817. By 1823 he was employing 21 journeymen a number of whom are illustrated in a watercolor of the bindery reproduced in Middleton's "A History of English Craft Bookbinding Technique" p. 349. Lewis was patronized by the great collectors of the day including William Beckford who favored him above all others. In a letter to the bookseller George Clarke written in 1831--the year our binding was done--Beckford declared: "Lewis was and is and I hope will continue to be the first artist in this line that Europe can boast of." Our tasteful binding is a fine and well-preserved example of his work. The provenance here is significant. The first known owner of our volume was the outstanding book collector George Hibbert F.R.S. 1757-1837 Member of Parliament wealthy shipowner and one of the earliest members of the Roxburghe Club elected 1816. This copy of Meriton is almost certainly lot #4914 in the "Catalogue of the Library of George Hibbert Esq. of Portland Place" London 1829 p. 267. Historian David Hancock in Oxford DNB characterized Hibbert as "a renowned collector of paintings sculpture and books." Afterwards the volume was in the collection of Yorkshire bibliophile and industrialist William Gott 1797-1863 who "built up a magnificent collection of rare books." University of Leeds Library website The laid-in article at the front referring to a Sotheby’s sale in the early 20th century must refer to a third distinguished owner and a second vigorous bibliophile of the Gott dynasty of Yorkshire-born collectors William’s son John Gott 1830-1906 Bishop of Truro. Two years after the Bishop’s death his library was sold by Sotheby’s in a "Catalogue of the Choice Library of Valuable and Rare Printed Books and Ancient Manuscripts of the late Rt. Rev. John Gott D.D.". J. White for Francis Hildyard unknown

The leaf has been trimmed down to 21 x 16 cm. with rounded corners around the poem's decorative border. The poem consists of 96 lines in twelve eight-line stanzas; it is arranged in two columns beneath the title: 'ON THE WING. BY JOHN LAWTON.' First stanza reads: 'I wor thinkin one neet wol sit i mi cheer Wot thowts enter sum people's pates; Wot useful invenshuns they'n plan'd everywheer To benefit people un states. Locomotives un steomers I think yol find Un hundreds o things I might name Fast flitted e fancy throo somebody's mind Un war plann'd by sombody's brain.' The second stanza expands on the theme: 'Tho swift wi con travil on land and on sea Discontent is still to be seen; For sum want to travil o new-fanglt wey Throo th'air in o flyin machine: Un shud they succeed as sum think ut they will In thus navigatin the air Streets un roads wod soon be desertud un still Un oytch thing wod look very quare.' Third stanza: 'One fellow is tryin to make o balloon To go ogen th'wint like o ship Un wen it is reddy he'll start very soon Un go on o grand trial trip. Then another I yerd on made sum big wings - He sed he felt shure he cud fly: He geet on o barn un adjusted his things Determin'd he'd have o good try.' The twelfth and last stanza reads: 'To think wot greyt changes this flyin wod bring I fashuns amusements un trade Wod make sum foak deawtful iv onny sitch thing In this world cud ever be made. Fur my part I expect to see flyin foak Soon after I see flyin pigs; Ur elephants makin gowd watches ov oak Ur crocodiles ridin i gigs.'
