1928rif. 35100London: Printed at the Chiswick Press for Robt. Riviere and Son Ltd. 1928. First Edition. Decorated throughout with capital letters printed in blue. 8vo handsomely bound by Riviere in full blue polished calf gilt tooled double fillet borders on both covers elaborate gilt tooled panel designs to the compartments of the spine raised bands gilt decorated red morocco lettering label gilt gilt turnovers and board edges marbled end-leaves all edges gilt. 154 pp. A very handsome copy the binding tight and strong clean and bright a very finely preserved copy of this beautiful printing. BEAUTIFULLY BOUND AND PRESENTED FIRST EDITION. A RIVIERE BINDING FOR THIS VERY SCARCE RIVIERE PRINTING. A beautiful production and as finely produced a twentieth century Shakespeare SONNETS as one might wish to find. The fine handmade papers used for this production are of great quality and show no effects of aging whatsoever. The design type and paper selection is very pleasing to the senses. A scarce item and one of a very few printed and bound especially for Riviere and Son. Robert RiviÄre founded his bindery in Bath in 1829 and George Bayntun followed his example in 1894. In 1939 Bayntun bought RiviÄre and merged the two firms. Bayntun-RiviÄre is now the last of the great Victorian trade binderies still in family ownership and prides itself on continuing to bind entirely by hand. The Chiswick Press was founded by Charles Whittingham I 1867-1840. The management of the Press was taken oer in 1840 by the founder's nephew Charles Whittingham II 1795-1876. The name was first used in 1811 and the Press continued to operate until 1962. The Press had becme very influential in English printing and typography under Charles Whittingham II who most notably published some of the early designs of William Morris. The Chiswick Press deserves conspicuous credit for the reintroduction of quality printing into the trade in England when in 1844 it produced The Diary of Lady Willoughby set in the reign of Charles I.

1734rif. 33902London: J. Tonson 1734. A pleasing and early octavo printing. Engraved frontispiece engraved head-piece and a six-line engraved initial at the beginning of the text Small 8vo bound in later blue wrappers hand calligraphed on the cover in brown ink. 96pp. A fine and well preserved copy the blue wrappers as pristine. VERY SCARCE. From the important Theobold oeuvre. Although Theobold ultimately gave way to Johnson in popularity he remains one of the pre-eminent Shakespearean editors. Churton Collins writing in the DNB claimed it “would not be too much to say that the text of Shakespeare owes more to Theobold than to any other editor.” The collection also draws on two rival editions J. Tonson’s and R. Walker’s. Although the two are nearly identical Tonson issued an advertisement warning the public against “such Useless Pirated and Maim’d Editions as are publish’d by the said R. Walker.” Henry VI Part II contains famous quotations among which are: Could I come near your beauty with my nails I'd set my ten commandments in your face. Eleanor Act 1 Scene 3 The fox barks not when he would steal the lamb. Suffolk Act 3 Scene 1 For where thou art there is the world itself With every several pleasure in the world: And where thou art not desolation. Suffolk Act 3 Scene 2 Small things make base men proud. Suffolk Act 4 Scene 1 True nobility is exempt from fear. Suffolk Act 4 Scene 1 The first thing we do let's kill all the lawyers. Dick the butcher Act 4 Scene 2 J. Tonson unknown

1821rif. 32498London: F.C. and J. Rivington; et al 1821. 21 volumes. The First Edition of ‘Boswell’s Malone’ Edition a highly important printing of the bard's works. This copy with very interesting and established provenance. The set was owned by Edward Weeks member of an old Boston and New England family and long-time editor of The Atlantic where he wrote a column for many years entitled "The Perpatetic Reviewer." Previous to Mr. Weeks the set was owned by the aviator Louis Bleriot the first person to fly across the English Channel. His signature is in one of the volumes.

A very handsome and stately set in proper bindings internally very fresh bindings with some minor age evidence some restoration to some hinges on some volumes. A handsome and pleasing set. AN IMPORTANT AND EARLY PRINTING OF THE WORKS. This variorum edition not only forms a fine summery of the cumulative scholarship on Shakespeare during the 18th century but has time and again been called the foundation of modern Shakespearean scholarship. James Boswell the son of Johnson’s biographer had a hard task in ordering Malone’s papers - “I may add” he states in his 50 page introduction “that it is not everyone who could have deciphered his notes.” Along with all of Malone’s material this set contains three full volumes of scholarly works including the prefaces of all of the major editions of the previous century more then one life of Shakespeare Boswell’s life of Malone histories of the stage Shakespeare’s will Coat of Arms and other relative documents to the Bards life and extensive notes on and from the modern editions. In addition to all of this material is the extensive and very useful ‘Glossarial Index’ and an Addenda. No less then 35 publishers joined forces to produce these volumes and it is alone among the variorum editions to include a volume of Poems. Its influence was such that many years later the Sette of Odd Volumes a renowned bibliophile dining club limited its membership to 21 stating this in its list of rules; “The Sette of Odd Volumes to consist of twenty one this being the number of volumes of the variorum Shakespeare of 1821”.
