First edition, folio (327 x 209 mm), [3], 4-28pp., ornament on title and last page, on p.28 under the word 'Finis' there are two lines of errata, some light spotting, later wrappers contained in a red cloth folding case. Sir Walter Scott "was the first of Swift's editors to print a number of extra verses which according to a note in a Ms. transcript among the Orrery Papers at Harvard 'ought to have been inserted.... if it had been safe to print them'." These verses were omitted by the printer on political grounds. No copy of an earlier Dublin edition of this masterly satire is known: this edition (published in London, 31 Dec. 1733), though described as 're-printed', is presumed to be the first. The first recorded Dublin edition was published by Hyde in 1734. Foxon, S888; Rothschild, 2147; Teerink, 741; Hayward, 153; Williams, 639.

1570Carta geografica delle Isole Britanniche tratta dall'edizione italiana del Theatrum Orbis Therrarum di Ortelius, 1606.Terzo stato della lastra di questa importante mappa basata sulla carta murale di Mercator del 1564. Il Theatrum Orbis Terrarum è considerato il primo vero “atlante” moderno. L’opera fu pubblicata in 7 lingue e 36 edizioni, per il quale – nel 1570 - Ortelius ottenne il privilegio, ovvero una sorta di diritto d'autore che impediva ad altri cartografi di pubblicare i propri lavori. Il Theatrum rappresentava il lavoro più avanzato del lavoro della descrizione cartografica. L’Ortelius vi raccolse il sapere geografico e cartografico del suo tempo, proponendo in 147 spettacolari tavole incise l’immagine più fedele del mondo allora conosciuto e, in alcune straordinarie “carte storiche”, regioni e itinerari tratti dalla letteratura, dalla mitologia, dalla tradizione. Ortelius fu anche il primo a citare le fonti, menzionando i nomi dei cartografi nel “catalogus auctorum”. Dal 1598 al 1612 le edizioni postume del Theatrum furono realizzate dal suo collaboratore Johannes Baptiste Vrients. Incisione in rame, eccellente coloritura coeva, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Attractive full color example of Ortelius' first map of the British Isles, from Ortelius' Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, the first modern atlas of the world.A state 3 of this classic, handsome and decorative map of ancient British Isles with north orientated to the east. Italian text on verso. From the Vrients edition of 1606.Based on Mercator's 1564 map of the British isles and improved by Saxton's 1579 map and the writings of the ancient classical writers. Embellishments include seven ships and three decorative strap work cartouches. Map taken from the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum, which is considered the first true modern "Atlas". The work was published in 7 languages and 36 editions, for which - in 1570 - Ortelius obtained the privilege, a kind of copyright that prevented other cartographers from publishing his works. The Theatrum represented the most advanced work of cartographic description. Ortelius collected in it the geographical and cartographic knowledge of his time, proposing in 147 spectacular engraved plates the most faithful image of the world then known and, in some extraordinary "historical maps", regions and routes taken from literature, mythology, tradition. Ortelius was also the first to cite sources, mentioning the names of cartographers in the "catalogus auctorum". From 1598 to 1612 the posthumous editions of the Theatrum were made by his collaborator Johannes Baptiste Vrients. Copper engraving, contemporary coloring, in good condition. Broecke, Ortelius 16, state 3. Shirley (1991), map 82, plate 42.

1801réf. 3820London: Printed for T.N.Longman and O.Rees 1801 1801. Only edition. Small 8vo. pp. 6 201 1bl. Contemporary calf double fillet borders to boards rebacked to style with gilt decoration and black morocco label lettered in gilt. Edges and corners rubbed with a little wear to the latter. All edges speckled. Internally near fine. A very nice copy of the first book published by Ireland following his exposure as a forger. Rare in commerce only two copies appearing at auction in the last fifty years. William Henry Ireland was a type familiar in the world of letters and books - the clever but rackety fantasist. He absorbed from his father a publisher a fascination with Shakespeare and perhaps more significantly the forgers Chatterton and Macpherson. A spell working for a lawyer gave him access to old documents which he studied and copied before taking the plunge and forging a deed containing Shakespeare's signature. His father thinking it real was thrilled. Ireland began to produce more "Shakespearian" documents claiming that they were from an anonymous collector. When even a letter from Shakespeare to Elizabeth I was authenticated by contemporary experts Ireland overreached himself and brought forth a "new" play Vortigern and Rowena. Ireland's doubters led by the Shakespearean scholar Edmond Malone began to circle and the first and only performance of the play was disrupted in part by its leading actor John Philip Kemble who repeated a line including the words "solemn mockery". Although the young Ireland immediately confessed both he and his father were disgraced the latter dying in 1800 and William being forced to eke out a thin living as a poet historian and satirist. Ballads in Imitation of the Antient was a clever attempt at redemption. It was published in Ireland's name so no-one could accuse him of forgery or fakery but the book played into the contemporary taste for bogus antiquarianism which floated somewhere between historical truth and historically inspired fiction. And of course "Imitation" of which Ireland was clearly a master can be both. London: Printed for T.N.Longman and O.Rees 1801 hardcover
