1825rif. 789L7London: Sherwood Jones and Co 1825. First edition. Leather. Very Good. 9" by 5.5". Not Stated. A scarce copy of this first edition of the collected edition of the penny dreadful 'The Terrific Register' a crime magazine enjoyed by Charles Dickens. A very scarce work. The first edition of this sensational periodical. Incomplete being pages 417 to 820 of Volume I labelled part II to the spine and the complete text of Volume II. The title page for volume I has been bound to the start of volume II. Issues 27-51 to the first volume and issues 53-104 to volume II. The final leaf of volume I reads 'end of vol I' and the first issue of volume II starts at page 1. 'The Terrific Register' was a weekly penny dreadful published from 1823 to 1825 sold for a penny each containing sensational and melodramatic stories that gave accounts of murder brutal executions torture incest ghosts cannibalism and more. The magazine was enjoyed by Charles Dickens during his teenage years a fact which doesn't come as a surprise due to his later novels. He said that the stories used to 'frighten the wits out of his head'. The 'Register' came about due to the thriving production of cheap reading materials for the working classes. Illustrated with in-text engravings throughout. Bookplate to the front pastedown of Volume I 'Sir Richard Burton'. With the motto 'Vigilans' to the bookplate. This bookplate has been identified as being that of Sir Richard Burton 1755-1855 of Sacketts Hill House Isle of Thanet Kent. A very scarce and influential penny magazine. Volume I is in a half crushed morocco binding with marbled paper and volume II is in a half calf binding with marbled paper to the boards. Externally generally smart. Rubbing with some loss to the head and tail of spine to volume I. The hinges to Volume I are tender. Bookplate to the front pastedown of Volume I 'Sir Richard Burton'. Internally volume II is firmly bound. The last couple of pages of Volume I are working loose. Pages are bright with the odd spot a little heavier to Volume I. Very Good Sherwood, Jones, and Co hardcover
rif. 25106American pre-Civil War. Framed. Very good with excellent color retention. The sampler has been secured to a backing board some time early in the twentieth century using brass tacks with folding tips. These are applied at the extremities through the eighth-inch hemmed edges and do not impact the design or the integrity of the linen base of the sampler. Colored silk thread on linen base. It measures appx. 305 x 405 mm. A lively and dramatic rendering - given the elaborate flourish of animals and plants that make up the decorative surround - of a popular design motif Solomon's Temple. A symbol of wisdom and knowledge but also a cautionary reminder being a popular Old Testament account of one who strayed from the righteous path. A "caution" that would have been readily recognized and accepted within the congregations of the PA German Pietist community. The whole is executed with considerable skill and care.
