"Thomas Herveys THE BOOK OF CHRISTMAS is remembered today for the wonderful illustrations by Robert Seymour 1798-1836 one of the most successful caricaturists of his time. Herveys text gives an exhaustive historical account of old English Christmas customs: some -- like the feasting on roast beef and turkey plum pudding and mince pies -- still flourishing; others -- like waits carol singing at night and mumming -- almost forgotten. Seymours illustrations completed just a few months before his suicide as he was working on Dickenss PICKWICK PAPERS capture the spirit and joy of the season. From the coach load of Norfolk turkeys to the sleepy waits singers in the light of the street lantern to the merry old gentleman enjoying Christmas by his fire he provides a delightful selection of holiday scenes. THE BOOK OF CHRISTMAS first published in 1836 and reprinted the following year was an early attempt to record and preserve the old customs. As the Victorian revival of the holiday gathered pace during the 1840s many more histories of Christmas festivities and practices were published. They were often bound and illustrated as attractive gift books and so helped to establish a new tradition of the Christmas publishing season BRITISH LIBRARY. William Spooner hardcover books

1922réf. h46339NY: New York: James F. Drake Inc 1922. First Edition. Hardcover. Good. One of 350 printed by Rudge typography by Bruce Rogers. 8vo seagreen spine over patterned boards good with some wear along the outer joints bookplate of the Hervey Allen Collection of the University of Pittsburgh no deaccession stamp but we purchased this in a large lot of duplicates from this collection about 10 years ago from Pitt and this probably avoided the stamp from being in a slipcase. Also with leather bookplate of W. Van R. Whitall. Signed by Allen on the title page and inscribed in pencil also on title page by Bruce Rogers "Advance copy -- for Major Wm. Van R. Whitall. Bruce Rogers. St. Patrick's Day in the morning - 1922-" and also with "No. 1. Hervey Allen" in pencil on flyleaf and additional note in pencil by Allen on pastedown "Written in 1916-1917 just after my return from the Border. An early poem. This is an early copy bound in green unlike the others." In handsome quarter burgundy morocco slipcase and cloth chemise. Great association copy: Whitall's wife and Allen were childhood friends in South Carolina and Allen gave to her the bound manuscript of "Anthony Adverse" the subject of a New Yorker article in 1934. Major Whitall was a well known book collector and bibliophile. Struck by Allen's poem "The Blindman" published in 1923 Whitall established "The Blindman Prize" a $250 annual prize for the best poem administered by the Poetry Society of South Carolina. It is clear from all this that Allen was very close to the Whitalls. It's extra special that this is the first copy off the press and was inscribed by both Rogers and Allen. James F.
