1825réf. LLV2509London:: B.T. Batsford 1825. 1825. Series: The Old English Life Series. 8vo. xi 308 pp. Color frontis. numerous illus. appendix index; slightly foxed title page stained endpapers possibly from newspaper offset. Decorative gilt-stamped maroon cloth; extremities rubbed corners bumped small white circle on spine. Else very good. FIRST BRISISH EDITION. "The inn has played a large part in the domestic life of England down the centuries. Always intimately associated with the characteristics of the English people as a center for social life it still retains a warm place in their hearts. The story of the tavern therefore is associated with the tale of the road and English wayfaring life. Love of travel is a strong characteristic of the English race yet it co-exists with a feeling for home comforts and a desire to be reminded of familiar things. Thus it is from the earliest times that the inn in spite of its widened functions has at each stage of its development retained the piquant element of domesticity. The old inns of England are unlike those of other countries. The majority are genuine survivals; they are records of other times and customs and they have a symbolic value for the ordinary traveler. They are generally simple in character but many have undergone alterations and changes corresponding with each era of social progress. The inns of each period especially such as remain intact and unaltered could be described in any treatise dealing with the recognized phases of house building; collectively they present a subject for a monograph . . ." -From the preface B.T. Batsford, (1825). hardcover books

1828réf. 27154London: Henry Colburn 1828. Very Good. London: Henry Colburn 1828. First U.K. Edition. Two volumes; octavos 21.5cm.; full contemporary blind-ruled calf by J. Mackenzie gilt spines in six compartments red and green spine labels all edges speckled red; xxiv4591; xi14771pp. Leather a bit dried and scuffed at extremities uneven dark spotting to spines moderate foxing to early leaves else a Very Good internally quite fresh set of James Fenimore Cooper's travelogue first composed in 1830 while traveling through the United States. Provenance: Armorial ex libris of Frances Mary Richardson Currer to both front pastedowns. By the age of thirty Currer 1785-1861 the unmarried sole heir to both the Richardson and Currer estates had amassed one of the most celebrated private libraries of her generation. She was considered the first as well as the greatest female bibliophile in Europe with "a heart as big as St Paul's Dome and as warm as Volcanic lava" Dawson Turner cf. Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. As well as collecting in the areas of the natural sciences topography antiquities history classics illustrated and early printed books Currer was also an active and generous patron of many charities and public institutions including the school at Cowan Bridge attended by the Brontë sisters. In fact their lives may have intersected more than once with the imminent bibliophile who is believed to have paid off Patrick Brontë's debts when he was newly widowed. It has also been reasonably surmised that Charlotte Brontë borrowed the name for her pseudonym "Currer Bell." BAL 3841; HOWES C750; SABIN 16486. Henry Colburn unknown books
