1903ref. ST20957London: John & E. Bumpus 1903. 211 x 140 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 1/2". 86 pp. LOVELY GREEN MOROCCO GILT AND INLAID FOR J. & E. BUMPUS stamped in gilt on rear turn-in LIKELY BY RIVIERE & SON upper cover with gilt fillet frame central panel with densely blind-stamped leafy vines on a gilt pointillé background accented with onlaid red morocco dots large oval at center and four smaller ovals all framed by gilt beads the central oval adorned with four gilt and onlaid red and white morocco Tudor roses 10 more such roses at corners and along the sides of outer frame lower cover with gilt fillet frame raised bands spine compartments with blind-stamped leafy sprig on pointillé ground with onlaid black ivory and red morocco dots gilt lettering turn-ins with gilt border gilt trio of leaves at corners all edges gilt. With engraved frontispiece portrait title page vignette two headpieces and two tailpieces. Upper cover and spine evenly faded to olive green likely from being displayed just a hint of bowing to boards but A VERY FINE COPY the text entirely clean fresh and bright and the binding unworn. This lovely printing of Spenserian poetry comes in an unusual and skillfully executed binding likely by Riviere & Son which was producing some of its very best work at the time of publication. The poems here were inspired by Spenser's courtship of and 1594 marriage to his second wife Elizabeth Boyle. Day calls "Amoretti" "a unique sonnet sequence in Renaissance England" and he is unreserved in his praise for "Epithalamion" calling it "the most beautiful nuptial poem in English and perhaps in any language." Spenser 1552 - 99 was the first modern English poet to achieve major stature and Day points out that those "influenced by Spenser are virtually a roster of the great English poets since his time" among them Milton Wordsworth Keats Rossetti and Tennyson. Bumpus bindings were done for the bookselling firm of John and Edward Bumpus founded in 1780. The firm long enjoyed a reputation as purveyors of fine and beautiful bindings without ever operating a bindery. Instead they outsourced the work to the best binders of the day including Riviere and Morrell the former being a likely choice here. The combination of swirling blind-stamped vines a densely stippled background and onlaid blossoms demonstrates creativity in design proficiency in a range of finishing techniques and meticulous execution. The five blank ovals on the upper cover bring to mind the layout of Cosway bindings a specialty of the Riviere firm in which those ovals would be filled with miniature paintings on ivory under glass. Cosway bindings could sometimes be ornate to the point of being overwhelming so the blank ovals here are a welcome moment of restraint amid the animation of the cover design. Apparently an earlier owner enjoyed displaying this binding--as who would not--and the leather has mellowed to an olive green--which may actually be a more pleasing foundation for the decoration than the original brighter green. Certainly the book saw no other use as the contents are as fresh as the day the volume left the printer. John & E. Bumpus unknown

1798ref. 142573London: Printed and Published for the Author by George Cawthorn British Library No. 132 Strand 1798. 40pp. Narrow octavo 140 mm x 230 mm. Paper wrappers with black text and a small engraving to the front. String-tied. Some soiling along the edges of the wrappers as well as edgewear and a few closed tears that have been professionally repaired. A very good copy of an incredibly scarce item. Written by Edmund Spenser "the Younger"--not the Spenser who wrote the great allegorical epic poem "The Faerie Queen" in 1590. This play is based off of the seventeenth issue of the serial The Spectator; this serial devoted numerous issues to the topic of so-called "Ugly Clubs" a social club who would apparently only admit members with unappealing facial features. This play is very scarce with no other copies listed for sale at the time this one was catalogued nor any relevant auction records.

1758ref. 000012233London: Printed for J. and R. Tonson in the Strand 1758. Later edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 2 vol. 8vo. 5 vi-xxxviii 2 1-527 1; 2 3-496 pp. Contemporary full calf with the spines in six compartments compartments ruled in gold with recent green morocco labels lettered in gold on each spine; all edges sprinkled blue. Each volume illustrated with a frontispiece volume one with four plates volume two with three plates. The volumes also have one in-text illustration. With a glossary explaining the old and obscure words. Carpenter 116. Lowndes 2477. Oxford DNB "Spenser Edmund 1552-1599". According to Lowndes this is the first Tonson edition of Spenser's epic poem. Carpenter states this edition is based on that of Hughes. Includes a biography of Edmund Spenser. An attractive edition of Spenser's poem concerned with knights dragons queens noble ladies Greek gods and goddesses and warriors. The poem itself was dedicated to Queen Elisabeth I with whom Spenser had an audience before the publication of his poem in 1590 to Sir Walter Raleigh and to numerous other noble English people of the late sixteenth century. Spenser's poetic style was revolutionary to English literature: it combined classical and native English themes motifs and stories. Chaucer and Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics were hugely influential to Spenser's work. The poem centers around six knights and their quests with each knight representative of a specific virtue. A work central to English literature. Each front joint discreetly strengthened the crown and foot of each spine worn away; a small contemporary name on each title page. Printed for J. and R. Tonson in the Strand hardcover
