1810réf. PEA-1810-4601810. 1st. SHORT DESCRIPTION Year: 1810Edition: First EditionPublisher: T. Hookham Jun. and E. T. Hookham London; Manners and Miller Edinburgh DESCRIPTION Peacock Thomas Love. The Genius of the Thames: A Lyrical Poem in Two Parts. London: Printed for T. Hookham Jun. and E. T. Hookham No. 15 Old Bond Street; and Manners and Miller Edinburgh 1810. First edition. nAn exceptional association copy of one of Thomas Love Peacock's earliest published works with family provenance connecting the volume directly to the author and his only son Edward Gryffydh Peacock. nThe Genius of the Thames was composed following Peacock's journey along the river in 1809 when he undertook a two-week expedition tracing the Thames from its source towards his home at Chertsey. The poem was published in June 1810 two years before Peacock first met Percy Bysshe Shelley who would become his intimate friend and literary associate. nThis copy is particularly distinguished by its provenance. Accompanying the volume is a manuscript note recording: n n n“Edward Gryffydh Peacock was T.L.P.'s only son born sometime between 1821–26. He joined the Indian Navy in May 1841 but resigned in 1844 and thereafter held various appointments in India House; he died January 1867 having one son Thomas Love Peacock born Jan. 23 1851.” n nThe biographical substance of the note accords with the historical record: Edward Gryffydh Peacock was Thomas Love Peacock's son was born in 1825 entered the Indian Navy in 1841 and subsequently worked at East India House. nThe significance of this copy is therefore its direct Peacock family association: an author's copy subsequently associated with his only son. nElegantly bound in red straight-grain morocco the covers surrounded by an elaborate gilt foliate border the spine gilt in compartments and lettered “Genius of the Thames” and “London 1810.” Decorative gilt turn-ins. nThe binding shows age and wear including loss at the head of the spine and wear along the joints but remains visually striking. nThomas Love Peacock 1785–1866 — author of the work. nEdward Gryffydh Peacock 1825–1867 — Peacock's only son; Indian Navy officer East India Company official publisher and distinguished oarsman. nAccompanied by a manuscript provenance note identifying Edward Gryffydh Peacock as T. L. Peacock's only son and recording details of his career and family. nImportant catalogue qualification: the accompanying note strongly records the Peacock family association but unless there is an inscription in Peacock's hand elsewhere in the volume or documentary evidence accompanying the book I would not describe this as an “author's presentation copy” or say unequivocally that Peacock personally presented it to his son. For ARB “Thomas Love Peacock's copy subsequently associated with his son Edward Gryffydh Peacock” is the safer formulation until the precise chain of provenance is documented. n n n n nCondition nBound in handsome red straight-grain morocco covers elaborately bordered in gilt spine divided into gilt-decorated compartments and lettered in gilt. Binding rubbed and worn with loss at the head of the spine and wear to joints and extremities; some surface loss along the spine. Gilt decoration nevertheless remains strong and attractive. nInternally generally clean and well preserved for a book of this age with occasional spotting toning and minor age-related marking. Accompanied by later manuscript provenance material concerning Edward Gryffydh Peacock. STORY Before Nightmare Abbey before Crotchet Castle and even before his celebrated friendship with Percy Bysshe Shelley Thomas Love Peacock walked the Thames. In May 1809 the young Peacock set out on a two-week expedition following the river from its source towards Chertsey. From that journey emerged The Genius of the Thames published in 1810 — an ambitious lyrical celebration of the river as landscape history mythology and symbol of England. The book therefore belongs to a formative period in Peacock's life. His friendship with Percy Bysshe Shelley did not begin until 1812. The satirical novels for which Peacock became famous were still years away: Headlong Hall appeared in 1816 and Nightmare Abbey in 1818. The Genius of the Thames captures the twenty-four-year-old writer before those defining relationships and works had emerged. But this particular copy carries the story further. Peacock married Jane Gryffydh in 1820. Their only son Edward Gryffydh Peacock was born in 1825. Edward would lead a remarkable life of his own: he entered the Indian Navy later worked at East India House and became an accomplished sportsman winning the Diamond Challenge Sculls at Henley and the Wingfield Sculls. Thus an early book written by Peacock about the Thames became associated with a son who would himself become a celebrated Thames oarsman. That connection is particularly evocative. The father walked the river and made it the subject of one of his earliest books. The son would later race upon it. WHY THIS MATTERS The importance of this copy lies in the combination of edition association and physical presentation. It is the first edition of 1810 published when Peacock was still at the beginning of his literary career. The second edition followed in 1812. More importantly this is an association copy with direct Peacock family provenance linking Thomas Love Peacock with his only son Edward Gryffydh Peacock. Association copies occupy a distinct position in rare-book collecting because they preserve not merely a text but a relationship between a particular physical book and the people connected with its creation. Here that relationship is especially appealing: Peacock's youthful celebration of the Thames preserved within his own family and associated with the son who later became a distinguished competitive oarsman on that same river. The handsome red straight-grain morocco binding adds considerable visual appeal making this both a significant literary association copy and an attractive object in its own right. A particularly desirable copy for collections devoted to Thomas Love Peacock Romantic literature Percy Bysshe Shelley and his circle association copies Thames literature or nineteenth-century literary history.

First published in 1585 Dyer's Ascuns Novel Cases-generally known simply as Dyer's Reports-contains cases heard in the Courts of Common Pleas King's Bench Exchequer and Chancery from 1513 to 1582. One of the pioneering publications of its kind it was the very first collection of legal precedents to be referred to regularly as "Reports." It remained a work of immense authority second only to the Year Books and went through six editions in Law-French the last appearing in 1688. The extensive annotations in this copy written primarily in a single precise seventeenth-century hand consist of case citations references to contemporary reporters and brief analytical glosses. In several places these notes are more expansive continuing or elaborating upon the printed text. The early owner who left these marks was likely the Edward Love admitted to Lincoln's Inn from Thavie's Inn in March of 1653 offering a compelling visual record of a seventeenth-century English law student or practitioner actively engagi. unknown books

Small but important archive of correspondence between the beloved artist/illustrator Norman Rockwell 1894-1978 and the DC-based journalist Philip H. Love 1905-1977. Carbon copy of Love's letter toned and foxed with large loss at bottom edge not approaching text else Very Good. Love was the author of the popular syndicated series "Love on Life" consisting of short humorous pieces on the foibles of the times. This collection of correspondence dates from the spring and summer of 1960 when Love was putting together a series of essays called "Why Study." for an issue of The Evening Star's Sunday Magazine. The series comprised of short essays by authorities in their respective fields explaining the importance of studying these fields. This archive relates to Love inviting Rockwell to answer the question "Why Study Art" The collection consists of the following: 1. Short one-paged typed letter signed by Rockwell dated Stockbridge MA May 19 1960. Rockwell responds to a letter not present from Love inviting the artist to contribute an essay on Art for an issue of The Evening Star Sunday Magazine. "I do appreciate being asked to write an article on Art for you but quite honestly I am no writer and I don't have the time to do it. If you care to write something which seems appropriate to you and send it to me I will check it and sign it if it seems OK." 2. Carbon copy of Love's response dated May 25 1960 in which he refers to a questionnaire he has included with his letter. "If you could jot down your answers to the attached questions in the spaces provided and send it back I would have a writer put something together and submit it to you for your approval." 3. Original typescript leaf of Love's questionnaire a series of seven prompts filled out in manuscript ink by Rockwell. The first question asks "Does a good artist just 'grow' or does he have to work to develop his talent" Rockwell responded "Every good artist or illustrator I ever knew or heard of had to be a hard worker. Even genius does not produce masterpieces or even good work automatically or easily." 4. Short undated autograph note signed by Rockwell to Love "By my answers you will easily see why I'm no essayist." Indeed the meat of Rockwell's answers were cleaned up and arranged into a short essay published in the August 21 1960 issue of The Star Magazine. "His" piece was accompanied by contributions by President Eisenhower on "Why Study Languages"; Edward Teller on Physics; Eugene Ormandy on Music; and Patricia McGerr on Literature. unknown

1888réf. 6182Savannah GA: The Morning News Print 1888. Good. 8¼" x 6". Green cloth over boards title gilt. Pp. 5 A-E 6 iv-v blank page 360. Good: Ex-library with remnants of call number to spine bookplate due cards and embossed stamp on title page; moderately shaken boards moderately worn with losses at spine tips ffep heavily notated. This is another copy of Love's History with several outstanding associations. A partially obscured inscription on the front pastedown shows that this particular copy was presented by R.R. Wright to D.C. Suggs. Richard Robert Wright Sr. who wrote part of the book's introduction was born into slavery in Georgia in 1855 and was valedictorian of the first graduating class of Atlanta University now known as the HBCU Clark Atlanta. He became an educator and newspaper editor who went on to serve as the first president of the Georgia Industrial College for Colred Youths GICCY the first public institution of higher learning for African Americans in the state. Under Wright's leadership GICCY hosted renowned lecturers including Booker T. Washington Mary McLeod Bethune and Mary Church Terrell. Wright later founded the first Black-owned bank in Philadelphia and co-founded the first organization of Black-owned banks in the country. The recipient of the book Dr. Daniel Cato Suggs was born in Wilson North Carolina in 1865. He was a wealthy Black businessman active in real estate and a teacher in the public school systems of North Carolina. He served as a professor at GICCY before being elected president in 1917 of Livingston College a private HBCU in Salisbury North Carolina noted for its strong affiliation with the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church. This volume also contains a bookplate from Bennett College in Greensboro. Founded in 1873 as a normal school to educate freedmen and train both men and women as teachers Bennett is now a private HBCU liberal arts college for women. There is yet another interesting facet to this copy: the front free endpaper has two pages of handwritten notes regarding a speech given by David B. Hill in Savannah in 1892 as he was campaigning to be the Democratic candidate for United States President. We found the entirety of the speech's text in a newspaper account online and note the oddity of the possibility of a Southern African American attending a Democratic candidate' speech at that time. OCLC shows six holdings of the physical book over four entries. A unique copy with wonderful associations of Love's important history of the First African Baptist Church.
