Bruxelles, Société Belge de Librairie, etc.(Hauman, Cattoir et Comp.ie), 1837, in-16, graziosa legatura coeva in mezza pelle, tassello scuro con titolo e fregi oro al dorso, piatti marmorizzati, pp. 294. Vignetta al frontespizio. Ottime condizioni, salvo qualche fioritura. Edizione pirata apparsa in Belgio un anno prima della 1a edizione autorizzata (Paris, Werdet, 1838); nel 1844 riedita da Furne col titolo "Les Employés, ou la femme supériere" nella serie "Scènes de la vie parisienne" della Comédie Humaine; dal 1845 in poi appare come "Les Employés". Il Belgio è stato per motivi linguistici (il francese ricopriva il ruolo che ora ha l'inglese) il paese ove la frode editoriale era più diffusa, ma anche il 1° ad organizzare la 1a conferenza internazionale (1858) sul diritto d'autore. Il diritto d'autore "moderno" risale al 1886 (Convenzione di Berna), mentre già Luigi XVI aveva concesso (per il teatro) agli autori il diritto a disporre delle proprie opere, generalizzato poi in epoca napoleonica.

Bruxelles, Meline, Cans et Compagnie, 1842 e 1841, Le 2 opere raccolte in unico volume in-16, mezza pelle verde coeva con titolo ed eleganti fregi oro al dorso, piatti marmorizzati, pp. (4), 296; (2), 265, (1). Per ambedue i titoli si tratta di edizioni "pirata", antecedenti le edizioni francesi autorizzate: la prima opera, già apparsa a puntate su "La Législature" nel 1842, vedrà la prima edizione in volume col titolo "Un début dans la vie" solo nel 1844 presso Dumont; la seconda, apparsa a puntate in forma parziale su "La Presse" nel 1840, esce in volume a Parigi presso Souverain nel 1842 col titolo mutato in "Un mènage de garçon", poi presso Furne nel 1843 con quello definitivo de "La Rabbouilleuse". Il Belgio è stato per ragioni linguistiche il paese in cui la frode editoriale era più diffusa, ma anche quello in cui si è iniziato il processo per arrivare al diritto d'autore" di moderna concezione.

18908vo., First Edition thus, on laid paper, with a full-page facsimile in the text, some mild age-soiling (mainly marginal) to text; attractively bound in twentieth century half calf, marbled boards, gilt back, uncut, a most attractive copy of a scarce work. EDITION LIMITED TO 250 NUMBERED COPIES SIGNED BY WILLIAM PEACE & SON, THE ORKNEY CO-PUBLISHER (THIS COPY NO. 75). The first complete reissue of the original edition of 1725 of which only the British Library copy is known. It was published jointly by Sotheran of London and William Peace of Kirkwall in Orkney. John Gow (1697-1725), the 'Orkney Pirate', was the son of a wealthy merchant from Wick in Caithness. He grew up in the Orkney town of Stromness and as soon as he was old enough ran away to sea. In 1725 he led the mutiny on board the ship 'Caroline', personally murdering the captain; so beginning a reign of piracy and terror that made his name famous around Europe. Planning to cross the Atlantic to join the pirates of the Caribbean, he sailed to Orkney for supplies but was recognised, captured and subsequently hanged in London. Gow was the inspiration for Captain Cleveland in Sir Walter Scott's novel 'The Pirate' (1822). A scarce and important work on piracy. CBEL II, p.508; NMMC IV, 135.

rif. 43571Boston : Thayer & Eldridge, 1860 [New York, Richard Worthington, 1861/1880]. Un volume 12x19cm pleine percaline violette gravée à froid de fers spéciaux en reliure de l’éditeur. IV-456 pages avec le portrait de Whitman en frontispice. Contrefaçon de la troisième édition augmentée de 121 poèmes notamment Chants Democratic, Enfans d’Adam, Calamus et A Word out of the Sea. Tirage pirate, non daté, réalisé entre les années 1860 et 1880 par Richard Worthington, qui racheta les plaques de la reliure et du texte suite à la faillite de Thayer & Eldridge en 1861. Ce piratage fit connaître largement Whitman, qui ne poursuivit pas en justice Worthington, la légende voulant qu’il eut fini par en percevoir des royalties. Bel exemplaire.
Bruxelles, Meline, Cans et Compagnie / Société belge de Librairie, 1840 / 1841, volumi 2 legati in 1, in-16, ottima legatura coeva in mezza pelle, dorso liscio con titolo e fregi in oro, piatti in carta marmorizzata, pp. [4], 282 - [4], 318. Per quanto concerne "Pierrette" si tratta d'una delle prime edizioni "pirata" in volume: la prima edizione francese in volume (chez Souverain) è della fine del 1840. Al contrario, "Une ténébreuse affaire" fu pubblicato in volume prima in Belgio, nel 1841, dalla Société belge de Librairie (l'edizione che noi presentiamo), da Haumann, da Meline e da A. Jamar, tutte edizioni che si rifacevano alle puntate apparse in Francia nel giornale "Le Journal du Commerce" (1841). Solo l'anno successivo - il 1842 - vedrà la pubblicazione dell'opera in volume in Francia, presso l'editore Souverain. Ottimo esemplare. Ex-libris Caproni.
