1842réf. ST16673London: Richard Bentley 1842. FIRST EDITION. 195 x 115 mm. 7 3/4 x 4 5/8". Three volumes. Contemporary half calf over brown marbled boards raised bands with gilt tooling spine panels blind-stamped in a scolloped pattern red morocco label marbled endpapers and edges. Front pastedown with the bookplate of the celebrated book-collector Frances Mary Richardson Currer of Eshton Hall in each volume. Provenance: Dibdin "Reminiscences of a Literary Life" 1836 pp. 949–57; De Ricci "English Collectors of Books and Manuscripts" 1930 pp. 141-43. Extremities a bit rubbed boards lightly chafed occasional minor marginal stains or light patches of foxing but a pleasing copy generally clean and fresh in sturdy original bindings with no significant condition issues. This novel of the British navy during the Jacobite Rebellion comes from the library of a woman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Frances Mary Richardson Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library and also possessing a fine collection of prints shells and fossils in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall was "surpassed only by those of Earl Spencer the duke of Devonshire and the duke of Buckingham." According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." Although best known for his Leatherstocking Tales set on the early American frontier James Fenimore Cooper 1789-1851 had originally intended a career in the navy and spent several years at sea before an inheritance from his father allowed him to pursue a literary career. Deemed by Day "an excellent naval novel" the text here is a poignant tale of conflicting loyalties and the importance of friendship seen through the eyes of the titular "Two Admirals" lifelong friends supporting opposing political forces in the contest over the Stuart succession to throne of Britain.

Pictured are cast members Geraldine Chaplin Julie Christie Tom Courtenay Alec Guinness Ralph Richardson Omar Sharif and Rod Steiger. Photo is signed Alec Guinness and Ralph Richardson. Circa 1965. Please inquire for more information. Sir Alec Guinness was an English actor. In the BFI listing of the 100 most important British films of the 20th century he was the single most noted actor represented across nine films six in starring roles and three in supporting roles including five directed by David Lean and four from Ealing Studios. He won an Academy Award a BAFTA a Golden Globe and a Tony Award. In 1959 he was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for services to the arts. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960 the Academy Honorary Award for lifetime achievement in 1980 and the BAFTA Academy Fellowship Award in 1989. Sir Ralph David Richardson was an English actor who with John Gielgud and Laurence Olivier was one of the trinity of male actors who dominated the British stage for much of the 20th century. He worked in films throughout most of his career and played more than sixty cinema roles. From an artistic but not theatrical background Richardson had no thought of a stage career until a production of Hamlet in Brighton inspired him to become an actor. He learned his craft in the 1920s with a touring company and later the Birmingham Repertory Theatre. In 1931 he joined the Old Vic playing mostly Shakespearean roles. He led the company the following season succeeding Gielgud who had taught him much about stage technique. After he left the company a series of leading roles took him to stardom in the West End and on Broadway. unknown books
