Ships from the USA quickly and with care boxed for shipping. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Circa 1830. A scarce early 19th-century printing of the four popular pseudo-Aristotelian manuals on procreation gestation and childbirth signed by Henry Poole with the mysterious inscription "from a lady." This Henry Poole of London was likely the Henry Poole from 1814-1876 from the prominent Poole family of London clothiers who would later establish Henry Poole & Co. on Savile Row tailors to royalty and the British elite. In 1831 he would have been approximately 17 years old a young gentleman from a respectable well-connected family. His ownership of this provocative text is particularly intriguing given his family's social standing.a young gentleman in 1831 when he inscribed this volume a provocative choice for the era as these texts contained frank discussions of human sexuality reproduction and childbirth that remained shocking to Georgian and early Victorian sensibilities. The inscription suggests this may have been a clandestine gift perhaps from a lover or confidante adding intrigue to an already controversial work. Cocker, Harris, and Finn hardcover

The first collected English translations of Aristotle's works from Orphic fragments by Neoplatonist scholar Thomas Tyler 1758-1835. Provenance of famed bibliophile and collector Frances Mary Richardson Currer whose well-curated and respected library expanded to nearly 20000 volumes. Bibliographer Thomas Frognall Dibdin remarked that she was "the head of all female book collectors in Europe." Known for her philanthropic endeavors she donated a sum of 50 pounds to Patrick Bronte father of Charlotte Bronte when he was widowed in 1821. Currer also contributed an unknown amount to the Clergy Daughter's School that the Bronte sisters attended. Scholars postulate that Charlotte chose the non de plume of "Currer Bell" for her first published 1847 novel Jane Eyre in honor of Currer's philanthropy. A desirable set even without Currer's bookplate that seldom comes up for sale. Printed for the Translator by Robert Wilks unknown
