1820réf. ST15905London: J. Johnston 1820. FIRST EDITION IN BOOK FORM. 233 x 143 mm. 9 1/8 x 5 7/8". iv 2 319 pp. Attractive contemporary purple straight-grain morocco covers with gilt frame in the Romantic style raised bands spine compartments framed in gilt with drawer-handle cornerpieces gilt titling gilt-ruled turn-ins with drawer-handle ornaments at corners green watered silk endleaves all edges gilt. With engraved title page featuring hand-colored vignette and 19 HAND-COLORED ENGRAVED PLATES. Front flyleaf with bookplate of Harald Pedersen and verso of front free endpaper with bibliographical notes in pencil. Abbey "Life" 265; Tooley 434. ◆Spine sunned to maroon bottom corners a bit rubbed frontispiece cropped close at foot with much of the imprint trimmed away otherwise quite a fine copy--the plates in excellent impressions and pleasantly colored without the typical offsetting from these kinds of illustrations and the binding lustrous and with scarcely any wear. With charming illustrations by one or more of the 19th century's leading caricaturists this work is an imitation of the popular "Tour" books of Doctor Syntax featuring a pedantic clergyman and schoolmaster meeting with an onslaught of amusing misfortunes in the course of his wanderings. The original "Tour" published in 1812 was conceived of as a parody of the books of picturesque travels then enjoying a considerable vogue and when it met with a great popular response itself two more tours followed in 1820 and 1821. Even this could not sate the public and a number of imitations of the Syntax books including the present work were issued. There is some disagreement as to whether Thomas Rowlandson 1756-1827 or Isaac Robert Cruikshank 1789-1856 created the illustrations here; as Tooley notes "Both Rowlandson and I. R. Cruikshank are credited with the designs for the plates the balance of opinion favoring Cruikshank but according to the advertisement . . . more than one artist was employed or at least a different engraver to the artist." Either way the amusing illustrations of the follies and faux-pas of the good Doctor Syntax do not disappoint. Aside from being in pleasing condition our copy also stands out for its particularly attractive contemporary binding. J. Johnston unknown books

Johannes Sleidanus 1506-66 was born in Schleidan Luxembourg and studied ancient languages and literatures at Liège and Cologne and law and jurisprudence at Paris and Orléans. At Lièges he encountered humanist scholars and developed an interest in Protestant ideas. He went to work for Cardinal du Bellay and was employed in the futile negotiations of the French court to make an alliance with the German Protestants against the Emperor Charles V. In 1542 he settled in Strassbourg. He was in the habit of copying all papers that had any bearing on the Reformation to which he had access and Martin Bucer who had seen his papers suggested that Philip of Hesse appoint him historian of the Reformation giving him a salary and access to all necessary documents. Thus began his great work the first volume of which appeared in 1545. That same year he traveled to England in a French embassy to Henry VIII and there he collected further materials for his work. He later went to Marburg to view the archives of Philip of Hesse. In 1551 he attended the Council of Trent. He finished his history in 1554 despite financial problems. He died in poverty the following year. Printed by Edw. Jones, for Abel Swall...and Henry Bonwicke.. unknown books
