Leben und ausserordentliche Begebenheiten des Robinson Crusoe von York. Von ihm selbst beschrieben. Aus dem Englischen der funfzehnten Ausgabe neu übersetzt. 2 Bände.
|
Nürnberg, Felßecker, 1782-83. - (8), 564 (recte 544); 510 SS. Mit 2 gest.Front. und 2 gest.Titelvignetten. Pbde.d.Zt. Kippenberg I,6; Rammensee 358. Einzige Ausgabe dieser Übersetzung und die letzte Ausgabe des "Robinson" aus dem Hause Felßecker. Vor der Übersetzung durch Campe (1779), hatte Felßecker über ein halbes Jahrhundert lang praktisch konkurrenzlos Robinson-Übersetzungen herausgegeben. Aber auch diese, von ihm selbst in Auftrag gegebene neue Übersetzung konnte sich gegen die Campe-Übersetzung nicht behaupten und wurde nicht wieder aufgelegt. Von Rousseau im dritten Buch seines "Emile" als Erziehungsroman und Jugendlektüre empfohlen, wandelte sich in der Rezeptionsgeschichte der Blick, bis das Werk - einst ein überaus erfolgreicher Roman, der dem Geist der beginnenden Aufklärung nahesteht - zum reinen Kinderbuch verkam. Daran hatten die Campe'schen Übersetzungen zumindest Teilschuld. Unser Exemplar ist vollständig, beide Bände in der Bindung etwas gelockert, stellenweise etwas gebräunt, Titelblatt verso des ersten Bandes mit altem, teilweise gelöschtem Eintrag mit Bleistift, Einbände an Ecken und Kanten bestoßen.

[ Genlis, Stephanie Felicitie ]
Adele et Theodore, ou Lettres sur l'Education; contenant tous les principes relatifs aux trios differens plans d'education des Princes, des jeunes personnes, & des hommes
|
Paris: M. Lambert & F. J. Baudouin, 1782 First edition of this treatise on education, inspired by the ideas of Rousseau, cloaked in the guise of an epistolary novel. Though it has been often reprinted, the first edition is uncommon. Contemporary tree calf, gilt flat spines with red and brown morocco labels, edges sprinkled red. Three volumes, twelemo. . Some joints neatly repaired. A very good copy, complete with half-titles in Volumes I and II. Madame de Genlis (1746-1830) was born of a noble but impoverished Burgundian family. At the age of six she was received as a canoness into the noble chapter of Alix near Lyons, with the title of Madame la Comtesse de Lancy, taken from the town of Bourbon-Lancy. She was educated entirely at home. After she grew up, she married Charles Brillart de Genlis, marquis de Sillery, and she became determined to remedy her incomplete education and to satisfy her thirst for knowledge. Through the influence of her aunt, Madame de Montesson, who had been clandestinely married to the Duke of Orleans, she entered the Palais Royal as lady-in-waiting to the Duchess of Chartres (1770). She became governess to the daughters of the family, a role she took with great seriousness. She developed a number of ingenious educational theories, which she explained in several works, including Th!atre d'education, Annales de la vertu, and the present work. She anticipated many modern methods of teaching. History was taught with the help of magic lantern slides, and botany was taught by a practical botanist during their walks. She was influenced by the educational theories of Rousseau, and she in turn influenced the Edgeworths.

Macau, China and Japan are discussed on pp. 55–65, as are several authorities, such as Ramusio, de Bry, Jesuit letterbooks, Guerreiro, Andrade's @Novo descobrimento do gram Catheyo, Veiga's @Relação geral . . . da Cristandade de Ethiopia, Franco's @Imagem da virtude, Kircher, Lucena, Telles, and Martinez de la Puente. @Provenance: The author and career government bureaucrat Jorge César de Figanière [e Morão] was born in Rio de Janeiro, 1813, and died in Lisbon, 1887.

He served for many years in the Portuguese War Ministry and then the Foreign Ministry. When he retired in 1882 he had achieved the rank of Director da Direcção Política and Ministério Plenipotencário de 2 classe.

GIBBON, Edward
History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire
|
1782 1782 - GIBBON, Edward. The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. London: Printed for W. Strahan and T. Cadell, 1782-1788. Six volumes. Quarto, contemporary full tree calf rebacked, raised bands, brown and green morocco spine labels. $11,000. Mixed edition set, including three first editions (Volumes I-III are early "New" editions, and Volumes IV-VI are first editions) of one of the greatest classics of Western thought, with three engraved maps by Kitchin, two of them folding. Handsomely bound. "This masterpiece of historical penetration and literary style has remained one of the ageless historical works Gibbon brought a width of vision and a critical mastery of the available sources which have not been equaled to this day; and the result was clothed in inimitable prose" (PMM 222). "For 22 years Gibbon was a prodigy of steady and arduous application. His investigations extended over almost the whole range of intellectual activity for nearly 1500 years. And so thorough were his methods that the laborious investigations of German scholarship, the keen criticisms of theological zeal, and the steady researches of (two) centuries have brought to light very few important errors in the results of his labors. But it is not merely the learning of his work, learned as it is, that gives it character as a history. It is also that ingenious skill by which the vast erudition, the boundless range, the infinite variety, and the gorgeous magnificence of the details are all wrought together in a symmetrical whole It is still entitled to be esteemed as the greatest historical work ever written" (Adams, Manual of Historical Literature, 146-7). All 1000 copies of the first edition of Volume I were sold within two weeks of publication in January 1776. Volume I here is the 1782 edition or fifth overall; Volumes II and III are the 1787 edition or fourth overall. Volumes IV-VI are first editions. With map of the "Western Part of the Roman Empire" in Volume I and maps of the "Eastern Part of the Roman Empire" and "Parts of Europe and Asia Adjacent to Constantinople" in Volume II. Frontispiece engraved portrait of Gibbon in Volume I; bound with half-titles in all volumes except Volume I. Norton 26, 27, 29. Rothschild 942, 945. Grolier 100. Only occasional scattered light foxing to generally quite clean interiors; some soiling to preliminary and concluding leaves of Volumes IV-VI. Inner paper hinges expertly reinforced. Contemporary tree calf handsome. An extremely good set. [Attributes: First Edition]

Chatterton then created forged works of poetry which he attributed to Rowley, and when the truth was discovered, killed himself at the age of 18. Boards soiled, leather rubbed, with leather missing at spine ends. Rear hinge/joint weak, front hinge/joint connected only by thread binding. Title page carefully mounted on thicker paper. Some foxing and light soiling on pages, especially on front and rear pages.

[BURKE, Edmund, and others.]
TRIAL OF AN ACTION FOR THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND POUNDS, brought by Paul Benfield, esq; against Samuel Petrie, esq; upon a charge of bribery. Tried at Salisbury, the 12th of March 1782 ... Taken in short-hand by W. Williamson ... To which is added A Letter from Mr. Petrie, to the Committee of the House of Commons, who tried and determined the merits of his petition, against the last return for the borough of Cricklade.
|
London: printed for J. Stockdale, opposite Burlington-House, Piccadilly. 1782. 8vo, pp. [ii], 110;title a little dusty; else a very good copy; disbound. First printing of an extraordinary bribery trial, with which Edmund Burke was intimately connected. Paul Benfield and John Macpherson, phenomenally successful businessmen who had amassed huge fortunes in India, had contested Cricklade at the general election but had been unseated at the petition of Samuel Petrie, who alleged that they had bribed the notoriously corrupt electorate. In this counter-action, Benfield charged that Petrie himself had bribed the electors, and he sued him for £500 on each of 74 counts. As Petrie defence team noted, this was clearly an action designed solely to bankrupt the defendant. Petrie was a close associate of Edmund Burke, whose brother Richard led the defence: no doubt they collaborated on the case, and indeed Todd states that the long letter to the Commons Select Committee at the end (pp. 93-110) is largely written by the two brothers. The connexions between Burke and Petrie are outlined in Dixon Wecter’s article - Petrie was an Anglo-American businessman partly resident in Paris, and he is known to have reported Benjamin Franklin’s opinions to Burke: in effect, he acted as a sort of spy on Burke’s behalf. The junior barrister is identified here only as ‘the Hon. Mr. Pitt’, but this must be William Pitt the younger, then only 22. Only the son of a peer could be so described, and of Pitt’s two brothers the elder (John) had already succeeded his father as Earl of Chatham, and the younger (James Charles) was a naval captain who had died the previous year. (There was also a George Pitt, son of Lord Rivers, who might have been so named, but I doubt if this is the man.) Pitt was called to the bar at Lincoln’s Inn in 1780, and had entered Parliament in a by-election in June 1781. He too was an associate of Burke: his first speeches were in support of Burke’s policies. Pitt was to become Chancellor of the Exchequer a few months after this case, and Prime Minister the following year. This must be one of the very few cases which he fought in his very short career at the bar - and, perhaps, the only one published. Really, with a defence team such as this, it is hard to imagine how the plaintiff could possibly have won; and indeed Burke and Pitt were wholly successful, the Judge concluding that ‘the Evidence is so weak on every one of the counts, that you should find your Verdict for the Defendant’. Richard Burke’s long speech for the defence (pp. 25-57) must have been completely convincing, reinforced as it was by the skilful examination and cross-examination by Pitt. Rare: ESTC online lists just seven copies - L, C, E, Lse; CaOHM, MoU, MH. Todd, Burke, p. 269; see also Dixon Wecter in Huntington Library Quarterly 3 (1940), pp. 315-38, especially p. 333 n. 71. (NB: Todd wrongly states that the article is in Harvard Library Bulletin, a very irritating error.)

(Benjamin Franklin)
Rare reprinting of a purported 1782 Boston newspaper created by Benjamin Franklin in France, as he later explained, to publicize British “barbarities in America, particularly those committed by the savages at their instigation. The form may perhaps not be genuine, but the substance is truth...”
|
[Benjamin Franklin] Newspaper “Supplement / To the Boston Chronicle,” two pages, 8” x 12.5”, front and verso. Dated Boston, March 13, 1782, but printed in 1817. Copies of the original 1782 printing are said to be non-existent. Rough lower edge, upper and right edges frayed, creased, and toned with no loss of text. Good condition. In 1782, Benjamin Franklin, U.S. Minister to France, created a “Supplement To The Boston Independent Chronicle. Boston, March 12,” printing it on his press in Passy, France, an early example of U.S. propaganda. This newspaper ran a fictitious extract of a letter from a Capt. Samuel Gerrish of the New England Militia, dated Albany, March 7, relating the contents of a captured letter from “James Craufurd,” dated Teoga, Jan. 3d, 1782, to “Col. Haldimand, governor of Canada,” which had accompanied the supposed letter described the contents of “eight packs of scalps, cured, dried, hoped, and painted, with all the Indian triumphal marks” sent to the British Governor by the Senneka chiefs with a transcript of a “speech delivered by Conejogatchie in council ... we wish you to send these scalps over the water to the great king ... that he may see our faithfulness in destroying his enemies...” A total of 1,062 scalps were in the packs including “congress soldiers killed in different skirmishes ... farmers killed in their houses ... prisoners burnt alive, after being scalped, their nails pulled out by the roots ... women ... boys’ scalps of various ages ... girls’ scalps big and little ... little infants’ scalps of various sizes ... a black knife in the middle to show they were ript out of their mothers’ bellies...” Mary E. Rucker, in “American Literature, 1764-1789,’ edited by Everett H. Emerson (Madison: University of Wisconsin Press, 1977) writes, “Franklin wrote to Charles Dumas that the first edition of the ‘Supplement,’ a hoax printed on his press at Passy, ‘places in a striking light, the English barbarities in America, particularly those committed by the savages at their instigation. The form may perhaps not be genuine, but the substance is truth; the number of our people of all kinds and ages, murdered and scalped by them being known to exceed that of the invoice.’ Because he intended to shame the British, he exploited the sentimentality inherent in his gruesome details. The various voices of the work, however, are controlled, and the control serves only to heighten the emotional content of the satire. The structure of the work is complex: it purports to be an extract from a letter of a British captain, Gerrish, which frames a letter of James Craufurd,a British soldier, to Governor Haldimand of Canada, Craufurd’s letter, in turn, contains one from Chief Conejogatchie beseeching the governor to petition King George for Indian succor...” “The second edition of the “Supplement’ offers a letter from privateer John Paul Jones to Sir Joseph York, British ambassador to Holland. Although his letter details the causes of the Revolution, it is ... primarily a personal letter in which Jones defends his role in the war. Its most salient features are his forceful moral indignation and the seemingly unimpeachable logic with which he first clears himself of Sir Joseph’s charge that he is a pirate and then justifies the Revolution according to Whig principles ... Because a pirate makes war for rapine and because England has sought to appropriate the colonists’ property ... she is waging a piratical war...” Listed in “The Cambridge History of English and American Literature in 18 Volumes (1907-21). Vol. 15. Colonial and Revolutionary Literature; Early National Literature, Part I,” VI Franklin Bibliography, B. Separate Works: “1782. Numb. 705. Supplement To The Boston Independent Chronicle. Boston, March 12. Extract of a Letter from Capt. Gerrish, of the New-England Militia. (First Passy edition, folio sheet printed on one side.) Numb. 705. Supplement To The Boston Independent Chronicle. Boston March 12. Extract of a Letter from Capt. Gerrish .... [Also a copy of a Letter from Commodore Jones directed to Sir Joseph York.] (Second Passy edition, folio sheet printed on both sides. This edition was reproduced on a folio sheet inserted in Duane’s edition of Franklin’s works with the following heading: ‘Volume VII. Number 1095. Supplement to the Boston Chronicle. Monday, March 13, 1782.’ This heading was erroneously given by Ford as that of the Passy edition.)” Paul L. Ford compiled the “Franklin Bibliography” (Brooklyn: 1899). In 1817, a reprinting of this issue was included in “The Works of Dr. Benjamin Franklin, in Philosophy, Politics, and Morals” by Benjamin Franklin and William Temple Franklin (William Duane: Philadelphia, 1817). The newspaper here offered, including both the first and second edition of the “Supplement,” printed on both sides of a folio sheet, was included in the six volume tome published in 1817. According to the January 14, 1783 edition of the “Connecticut Courant and Weekly Intelligencer” (photocopy present), the “London General Advertiser and Morning Intelligencer” of June 29, 1782, published, “from the Supplement to the Boston Independent Chronicle,” the “Extract of a letter from Captain Gerrish, of the New-England Militia, dated Albany, March 7” as fact in its entirety. Over 100 years later, the July 3, 1887 edition of the “Philadelphia Times” also published the letter in full, not saying it had been printed in the “Chronicle,” assuring its readers that it “was found in the baggage of General Burgoyne after his surrender to General Gates ... was probably sent by an Indian runner to Burgoyne, to be forwarded to the governor” and that Craufurd “was probably a resident British agent with the Senecas.” The “Times” left out the year of Craufurd’s letter since Burgoyne surrendered to Gates in 1777. Ex-Guthman. Previously owned by Bill Guthman, museum consultant and the leading dealer in historical and military Americana of the Colonial and Federal period who believed it to be authentic. The following is penciled by him on the blank cover of the 9” x 14.75” folder in which he kept this newspaper: “*Rare Newspaper Supplement / supposed to have been printed / by B.

BURKE, Edmund, and others.]
TRIAL OF AN ACTION FOR THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND POUNDS, brought by Paul Benfield, esq; against Samuel Petrie, esq; upon a charge of bribery. Tried at Salisbury, the 12th of March 1782 . Taken in short-hand by W. Williamson . To which is added A Letter from Mr. Petrie, to the Committee of the House of Commons, who tried and determined the merits of his petition, against the last return for the borough of Cricklade.
|
London: printed for J. Stockdale, opposite Burlington-House, Piccadilly. 1782 - 8vo, pp. [ii], 110; title a little dusty; else a very good copy; disbound. First printing of an extraordinary bribery trial, with which Edmund Burke was intimately connected. Paul Benfield and John Macpherson, phenomenally successful businessmen who had amassed huge fortunes in India, had contested Cricklade at the general election but had been unseated at the petition of Samuel Petrie, who alleged that they had bribed the notoriously corrupt electorate. In this counter-action, Benfield charged that Petrie himself had bribed the electors, and he sued him for £500 on each of 74 counts. As Petrie defence team noted, this was clearly an action designed solely to bankrupt the defendant. Petrie was a close associate of Edmund Burke, whose brother Richard led the defence: no doubt they collaborated on the case, and indeed Todd states that the long letter to the Commons Select Committee at the end (pp. 93-110) is largely written by the two brothers. The connexions between Burke and Petrie are outlined in Dixon Wecter?s article - Petrie was an Anglo-American businessman partly resident in Paris, and he is known to have reported Benjamin Franklin?s opinions to Burke: in effect, he acted as a sort of spy on Burke?s behalf. The junior barrister is identified here only as ?the Hon. Mr. Pitt?, but this must be William Pitt the younger, then only 22. Only the son of a peer could be so described, and of Pitt?s two brothers the elder (John) had already succeeded his father as Earl of Chatham, and the younger (James Charles) was a naval captain who had died the previous year. (There was also a George Pitt, son of Lord Rivers, who might have been so named, but I doubt if this is the man.) Pitt was called to the bar at Lincoln?s Inn in 1780, and had entered Parliament in a by-election in June 1781. He too was an associate of Burke: his first speeches were in support of Burke?s policies. Pitt was to become Chancellor of the Exchequer a few months after this case, and Prime Minister the following year. This must be one of the very few cases which he fought in his very short career at the bar - and, perhaps, the only one published. Really, with a defence team such as this, it is hard to imagine how the plaintiff could possibly have won; and indeed Burke and Pitt were wholly successful, the Judge concluding that ?the Evidence is so weak on every one of the counts, that you should find your Verdict for the Defendant?. Richard Burke?s long speech for the defence (pp. 25-57) must have been completely convincing, reinforced as it was by the skilful examination and cross-examination by Pitt. Rare: ESTC online lists just seven copies - L, C, E, Lse; CaOHM, MoU, MH. Todd, Burke, p. 269; see also Dixon Wecter in Huntington Library Quarterly 3 (1940), pp. 315-38, especially p. 333 n. 71. (NB: Todd wrongly states that the article is in Harvard Library Bulletin, a very irritating error.) [Attributes: First Edition]

COWPER (William).
Poems By William Cowper, Of the Inner Temple, Esq.
|
[A quotation from Virgil followed by a verse translation of it, and a prose passage from Caraccioli.] London: Printed for J. Johnson, No. 72, St. Paul's Church Yard, 1782. Extra cr.8vo (watermarked with crown decorated with fleurs-de-lys); half-title not called for; Newton's `Preface', known in only a handful of copies, omitted as usual; E6 included twice (the cancellandum and the cancellans both being present - v. note); I6 a cancel as almost always (v. note); nine entry Errata on last page (in ten lines); pp.[iv]+367+[i]; [-]2, B - I, K - U, X - Z, Aa8; green crushed Levant morocco, by Rivière, t.e.g., others uncut, spine lettered and elaborately tooled gilt in compartments, triple-ruled frame, gilt, to sides, edges ruled with double-rule gilt, very elaborately gilt-tooled doublures; end-papers faced crimson; binder's blanks at front and back, of paper that resembles the text-paper. Leather of spine mellowed a trifle, and upper joint very slightly rubbed at head; front end-papers very slightly cracking; a couple of insignificant fox-spots in text, and light dusting to a few of the larger uncut edges; nonetheless, a virtually fine copy, finely bound. Though without Newton's `Preface', or the original text on I6 (both of which are rarely found, the latter, at least, having been cancelled within three days of first printing and before more than a few advance copies had been made up) this copy does have the nine entry Errata, omits the lines on p.103, present in some copies, beginning "Hast thou omitted with a blind fond trust", and has the original text on E6 at ll.3/4 ("With memorandum book for ev'ry town, / Aud [sic] ev'ry post,") all of which are said to be characteristic of earliness of issue. In this case, of course, the replacement text on E6 ("With memorandum book to minute down / The sev'ral posts,") is also present: and it is possible to state that the the corrected text is the latter rather than the former - a point which has sometimes been in dispute - since the lower edge of the cancel has been trimmed despite that leaf being shorter than the average of the gathering, the rest of the leaves having their lower-edges as well as their fore-edges uncut. Hinged in between the front binder's blanks is a four page extract, in ms., from Wright's `Life of William Cowper' (London, 1892, pp.272 - 4) recording the cancelled text on I6 (ll.390 - 413 of `Expostulation': originally condemnatory of the practices of Roman Catholics), and the history of its cancellation, and also that of another omitted passage. In the present copy on p.39 the catchword has the letter `d' dropped below the line, sig. C2 is incorrectly signed G2, and, as usual, pp.162 and 343 are misnumbered respectively 161 and 344. Cowper's first collection of poems. Hayward, 191, and Wise, Ashley Library, I, p.262, both recording copies with the Preface present, and not mentioning the cancels; Rothschild, 681, recording a copy in the original boards and with both cancels - which was a fraction smaller than the present copy, despite the upper margins having here been trimmed for gilding; NCBEL, II: 596; ESTC, T14895; Russell, 68; Sawyer & Darton, pp.23 - 5. All books listed by Robert Temple are of the first edition and the first printing unless otherwise described.

DELILLE, l'Abbe Jacques
Les Jardins, ou l'Art d'Embellir les Paysages.
|
Philippe-Denys Pierres Paris, 1782. Duodecimo, engraved title, engraved plate, half-title, single page approbation at rear, a few early and late pages with some browning at head and foot; a lovely copy in contemporary tan calf, flat spine gilt with red morocco label, bumped. A rare work and a very attractive copy of the most celebrated and influential poem of Delille, in which the author celebrated the virtues of the natural garden or jardin anglais, rather than the fashion for neoclassical symmetry.The work includes a famous cameo appearance by "Poutaveri", that is the Tahitian Autourou, who returned to France with Bougainville. In the poem, Poutaveri glimpses a mulberry tree - the plant most commonly used in the manufacture of tapa cloth - and is overwhelmed with homesickness for Tahiti. The name Poutaveri is interesting as it was actually Autourou's rendering of the name "Bougainville", a name he took in honour of his former captain and Parisian host.Jacques Montanier de Lille (1738-1813) was one of the great eighteenth-century French poets, and his works were much reprinted and translated: his influence on taste in gardening was significant, and he is also known for his translations into French of Virgil's Georgics and Milton's Paradise Lost, two great works with gardening themes.Les Jardins was first published the same year in in a limited and now very rare large format edition by Didot, and this attractive smaller format edition immediately followed. The poem was a great success throughout Europe with English and German translations appearing quickly.Brunet, II, 576.

2 volumes in-8, XIVpp.-1f.-366pp.-1f. - 237pp. Veau blond racine, dos lisses ornes de filets et petits fleurons dores, pieces de titres rouges et vertes, tranches jaunes. (Reliures fin XVII°s.). Hambourg,, 1782. "Edition originale. L'attribution a Mirabeau est parfois contestee, en faveur de son oncle. Le texte renfermerait en effet trop de citations pour avoir ete compose en prison. Mirabeau, sur le titre de l'ouvrage, semble bien en reclamer la paternite. Ouvrage posthume, puisque le prisonnier d'etat n'existait plus, Mirabeau ayant ete libere en 1780 ; compose en 1778, epoque du sejour force de Mirabeau au donjon de Vincennes ; d'ailleurs on trouve en tete de la seconde partie le temoignage de sa reconnaissance pour Le Noir, qu'il declare n'etre en rien dans les iniquites qu'il est oblige de devoiler. (Barbier II, 1247). Le comte connaissait bien le sujet, pour avoir ete enferme a plusieurs reprises a la demande de son pere, pour ses ecarts de conduite. ""Des lettres de cachet... n'est pas seulement une eloquente protestation contre le despotisme, un plaidoyer chaleureux en faveur de la liberte individuelle, mais encore un veritable travail d'erudition rempli d'exemples historiques, et qui suppose d'immenses lectures"". L'ouvrage debute par une histoire du droit penal francais, depuis les origines de la monarchie, et poursuit sur l'organisation de l'administration penitentiaire a la fin de l'Ancien Regime, qu'il denonce bien sur violemment.
