Rosaceae -
Rubus idaeus. From: Flora batava by Jan Kops and others.
|
. Amsterdam, J.C. Sepp, 1807, volume 2, plate 105. Hand-coloured engraving (sheet 225 x 278 mm). Text enclosed.. Note: The Flora batava, a monumental work forming a beautifully illustrated survey of all indigenous plants in the Netherlands. It was started in 1800 by Jan Kops, a Dutch agronomist and professor of botany at Utrecht. The first 10 volumes constitute all that was prepared and issued under his supervision. When finished at last in 1934, Willem Jan Lütjeharms was the editor for volume 28, in which he concludes that this work has ended now and that publication took longer than any comparable foreign flora: "De Flora Batava heeft langer geleefd dan een der met dit werk vergelijkbare buitenlandsche plaatwerken." The long publication period reflects the change in the technique of its illustrations. Initially copper-engravings were used, followed by lithographs, all coloured by hand, but from volume 25 colour-printing was gradually introduced. Also several artists were involved, but the plates are not signed, nor much information is given about them. Most plates in the first 3 volumes were illustrated by Georg Jacob Johann van Os. He was born in 1782 in The Hague and settled in Paris in 1826, where he worked for the Sevres porcelain factory and was a painter of flower and fruit pieces, still lifes, etc. These early, finely engraved plates are exquisitely coloured by hand. Each plate is accompanied by a text in Dutch and French. The first publisher, J.C. Sepp en Zoon, was renowned for its scientific colour-plate books. The work was issued in 8vo and 4to. This plate is in the most desirable 4to format.

The Annual Register, Or a View of the History, Politics, and Literature for the Year 1805 [Volume Xlvii]
|
J. Wright, 1807. Good B0017RFTA6. Iv, 1073, [18] pages, marbled boards, leather back-strip, back-strip frayed, hinges loose, ex-library with usual library markings otherwise very good. 1st edition. Volume 47 only. From the preface: The year, of which we are the historians has been marked by the most important events, the results of which must bear very materially upon the condition and views of a great portion of mankind. To the fresh aggressions of France, which raised a new coalition against her; to the different negociations (sic) which preceded the war on the continent; and to the details of the disastrous campaign, which terminated in the plains of Moravia, a more than ordinary care has been applied, and we trust the detail will well repay the curiosity of the reader. If to record the successes of the French upon the continent have proved a task equally irksome and disagreeable, it has been far otherwise when the exploits of the British navy, within the present year, have passed us in review. By them, the proud threatenings of our bitterest and most powerful enemy have been proved as vain as impotent; and we exulted in retracing the steps which led to the most splendid victory, ever obtained upon the ocean. The investigation of Indian affairs, the importance of which his every hour becoming more obvious, has employed our best exertions, and will, we are convinced, be found well worthy of perusal. Articles and State Papers include Dispatches from Lord Lake, containing an Account of the Siege of Bhurtpore; and from General Smith, communicating his Success over Ameer Khan, in Indostan, Interesting Account of Lieut. Yeo's gallant Action at Muros Bay, Further Particulars of the Battle of Trafalgar, Letter from Napoleon to the Landamman of Switzerland, Capitulation of Ulm to the Army of his Majesty the Emperor of France, American President's Speech-Washington, March 4th, An Account of the Life and Writings of Father Boscovich, Account of the double Boats built by the Direction of Sir Sydney Smith,...

- C.J. Øttinger, København 1807. 8vo. 80 sider. Trykt på skrivepapir. Smukt samtidigt rosafarvet papirbind med udvendig guldbordure. Ryggen bleget og lidt slidt.

I september samme år skulle der da også to bombenætter til, før korpset var slidt så grundigt ned, at den tredje bombenat udviklede sig til en katastrofe, der sved hele Nørre Kvarter af. Af største sjældenhed.

GRANT ( Sir John Peter )
Some observations on the constitution and forms of proceeding of the court of session in Scotland ; with remarks on the bill now depending in the House of Lords for its reform.
|
FIRST EDITION, pages vi, 135, with half-title, 8vo, recent wrapper : a very good copy. His first published work. Grant (1774–1848), chief justice of Calcutta, succeeded to the entailed estate of Rothiemurchus, on the death of his uncle, Patrick Grant, called the ‘White Laird,’ in 1790. He studied law first at Edinburgh then at Lincoln's Inn. He sat in the parliament of 1812 for Great Grimsby, Lincolnshire, and in the two subsequent parliaments for Tavistock. In 1827 he went to India as puisne judge, first at Bombay then at Calcutta, where he was afterwards chief justice. He died at sea on his passage home. Ambitious and energetic, a man of the ancien régime and its Old Corruption, Grant was unreliable, evasive, and sometimes dishonest. The Times described him as ‘wayward, extravagant and, though not without shining parts, impracticable and unsuccessful in life’ Blackwood's Magazine claimed he was ‘one of those brilliant men who are not born to succeed’ (DNB).

CURTIS, William (1746-1799). - John SIMS (editor)
Curtis's Botanical Magazine! Vol. XXV [!XXVI]
|
London: printed by Stephen Couchman, published 'at No. 3 St. George's-Crescent', 1807-1807. Volumes 25 and 26 only in one volume, octavo. (8 7/8 x 5 1/2 inches). 93 hand-coloured engraved plates (numbered from 967-1059, plates #995, #1018 and #1034 folding), all by F. Sansom after Sydenham Edwards. (Occasional offsetting of text onto plates). Contemporary mottled calf, gilt roll-tooled border to covers, spine in six compartments with raised bands. A fine representative sample volume from the oldest illustrated botanical periodical still in production. "The reputation of the Magazine has always resided in the accuracy of its portrayal of plants. This pictorial record of garden and greenhouse plants from the temperate and tropical regions of the world has no rival.." (Desmond p.7) William Curtis had witnessed from personal experience that his clients refused to buy folio pictures of unassuming plants (vide. his Flora Londinensis) but he felt that they would subscribe to an octavo work which pictured the showy plants that filled their gardens: from this premise was born the Botanical Magazine in February 1787. The work was immediately successful, was published throughout the 19th and 20th centuries and is still produced to this day. The main glory of the Botanical Magazine has always been the coloured plates. Many of the greatest British botanical illustrators of the last two hundred years have had worked published in this periodical: the majority of the earliest plates are by Sydenham Edwards; other artists who followed in his footsteps include James Sowerby, John Curtis, William Jackson Hooker and, for much of the second half of the 19th century, Walter Hood Fitch. In the 20th century the great tradition was continued by Lilian Snelling, Margaret Stones and others.

Lang, Klaus:
Von Frau de Staël zu D.H. Lawrence. Bilder von Natur- und Kulturlandschaften Italiens und ihre englandkritische Funktionalisierung in repräsentativen Romanen.
|
(Mannheimer Beiträge zur Sprach- und Literaturwissenschaft 75). Tübingen: Narr Francke Attempto 2009. - 524 S. Kart. *neuwertig*. Vielfältige Restriktionen und Zwänge dogmatisch-weltanschaulicher, vor allem soziokulturell-statussichernder Provenienz in der englischen Lebenswelt bilden den Problemhorizont, vor dem Autorinnen und Autoren (Frau v. Staël, Charles Dickens, George Eliot, George Gissing, E.M. Forster, D.H. Lawrence) das Ringen des Individuums um Befreiung und Selbst(er)findung thematisieren und inszenieren. Die Landschaft Italiens im kulturhistorischen Kontext von 1807 bis 1920 aus Englands Perspektive in hohem Maße Raum von Alterität, erweist sich als auffallend effizientes Medium zur Darstellung intrapsychischer Befindlichkeit sowie zur Aufzeichnung erwünschter bzw. erforderlicher innenweltlichen Veränderungen. Die diachrone Sicht auf literarische Landschaftsbilder zeigt eine Bedeutungsintensivierung des Darstellens und zugleich eine Sinnvertiefung des Dargestellten. Wesentliche Einsichten über das Individuum und Ich sowie wichtige Einblicke in den Entstehungsprozess selbstbestimmter Individualität im Verbund mit Leitlinien zu sinnvertiefender Lebensgestaltung werden als verschlüsselte Botschaften in Subtexten psychologisch plausibel und wirkungsproduktiv effizient in Bildern der Landschaft vermittelt. die Visualisierung innenweltlicher Konfliktszenarien lässt unter der manifesten Textoberfläche auf latenter Sinnebene Bilder des Sehnens und Verlangens, insbesondere die einer Faszination durch das Sinnliche und Wünsche des Begehrens sichtbar werden. Vor dem Hintergrund eines Verlustes an weltanschaulicher Gewissheit treten die bedeutsamen, das 19. und frühe 20. Jahrhundert in Europa kennzeichnenden paradigmatischen Verschiebungen des geistig-kulturellen Koordinatensystems zutage: Sie zeigen einen progressiven Richtungsverlauf weg von Kultur, Gesellschaft, Konformität und Fremdbestimmtheit hin zu Natur, Individuum, personaler Identität und Selbstkonzeption.

Wall Street)
A Selection of Poems, and other elegant poetical extracts . By the most celebrated authors, from Pope, Goldsmith, Blair, Young, Cowper, Watts, Rowe, Gray, More.
|
Boston: Joseph Bumstead 1807 - Contemporary sheep. 300 pp, pp. 193-212 removed. Some wear, contemporary clippings mounted at front and back, but generally in very good condition. FIRST EDITION. This book is from the library of the celebrated Tontine Coffee House, original home of the New York Stock Exchange. This book includes Gray's Elegy in a Country Churchyard, Pope's Essay on Man, Washington's Farewell Address, and other works. Mounted at the front and back are early newspaper clippings of poems of interest to merchants and traders on subjects such as Gaming, Slander, Seduction, Envy and Fortitude. The origin of the New York Stock Exchange dates to the Buttonwood Agreement signed in 1792 at the Merchants' Coffee House. The merchants then joined forces to build the famed Tontine Building in 1792-94 at the corner of Water and Wall Streets as a "centre for the daily intercourse of the mercantile community" (Valentine's Manual, 1854, p. 458). The Tontine Coffee House immediately became the locus of business for the Merchant's Exchange, which became the New York Stock & Exchange Board in 1817. The ownership structure was a tontine in which each subscriber selected a nominee. At the death of the nominee, his ownership interest ceased and was merged with those of the survivors, until only seven remained and become equal partners. The Tontine Coffee House was a center of financial and political life and figures time and again in the letters and literature of the early Federalist period. Provenance: mounted at the front as a bookplate is a rare wood engraving of the Tontine Coffee House measuring 2 1/2 x 3 3/4 in. The image is signed three times by James Bryden, who ran of the Tontine Coffee House from 1808 to 1812. The most prominent of the signatures, "J. Bryden's," being crossed out by the subsequent owner and replaced with the inscription "T. C. Hayward's book." This is the only known copy of one of the earliest images of the Tontine Coffee House. We cannot trace another example of this image. [Attributes: First Edition; Hard Cover]

LAMB, Charles [& Mary].
Tales from Shakespeare: Designed for the use of young persons.
|
London: Printed for Thomas Hodgkins. Embellished with copper-plates. In two volumes. 2 volumes, duodecimo (167 x 100 mm). Late nineteeth-century polished tan calf by Francis Bedford, triple fillet gilt border, two green morocco title lables to each spine, lettered in gilt, spine decoratively gilt, edges in gilt, marbled endpapers. In brown cloth slipcase. 20 engraved illustrations over the two volumes, including frontispieces. Bookplates of George Lillie Craik. Only very minor shelf wear, joints a little tender, interiors extremely bright and fresh, very occasional spotting, an excellent copy. First edition, first impression with the imprint of the printer T. Davison on the verso of p. 235, vol. I, and with the Hanway Street address in the final adverts. The Tales were chiefly the work of Charles's sister Mary Lamb, who had previously written Mrs Leicester's School and edited Poetry for Children for William Godwin's Juvenile Library. Fourteen of the twenty adaptations were by Mary, the rest by Charles. Originally the Tales were to be anonymous but Godwin persuaded the unreluctant Charles to have his name printed on the title-page (St Clair, The Godwins and the Shelleys). The Tales quickly became a favourite and have been in print ever since. The traditional attribution of the plates to Mulready and the engraving to William Blake has long since been accepted as a fallacy. From the library of the Scottish writer and literary critic George Lillie Craik (1798–1866). Ashley III 42; Gumuchian 3614; Muir, English Childrens' Books 102-103.

RANDALL, James
A philosophical inquiry on the cause, with directions to cure, the dry rot in buildings.
|
London: printed for the author; and sold by J. Taylor, at the Architectural Library, High Holborn. 1807 - 8vo., x + 67 + (3)pp., including both the half-title and final advertisement leaf, original wrappers, worn at spine, entirely uncut. A fine copy. First edition: very rare. COPAC & OCLC locate copies at only 3 libraries: BL + Stanford + Columbia. (There is, however, also a copy in the R.I.B.A. Library). A serious technical study of a 'most neglected' subject, undertaken, claims the author, 'with a hope of stimulating inquiry upon a subject, which is rendered of considerable importance, on account of the devastation produced, and still producing, in some of the finest buildings of the country'. Randall's Inquiry considers not only the pathology of dry rot (its causes, natural history and so forth) but also suggests both preventive building techniques and chemical and other remedies, all based upon his own experiments. James Randall (1782 - ?), an architect of modest distinction, exhibited at the Royal Academy from 1798 to 1814, and, in 1806, published Designs for Mansions, Casinos, Villas, Lodges and Cottages in the Grecian, Gothic, and Castle Styles. He designed buildings of note for several clients between 1803 and 1813, these clients including Lord Hobart, J.S. Collenguin, Col. E. Agar, J. Colingridge, and B. West. The buildings were variously in Dorset, Surrey, Middlesex and in London. [Attributes: First Edition; Soft Cover]

Curtis, William (1746-1799). -John Sims (Editor)
Curtis's Botanical Magazine? Vol. XXV [?XXVI]
|
. London: printed by Stephen Couchman, published 'at No. 3 St. George's-Crescent', 1807-1807. Volumes 25 and 26 only in one volume, octavo. (8 7/8 x 5 1/2 inches). 93 hand-coloured engraved plates (numbered from 967-1059, plates #995, #1018 and #1034 folding), all by F. Sansom after Sydenham Edwards. (Occasional offsetting of text onto plates). Contemporary mottled calf, gilt roll-tooled border to covers, spine in six compartments with raised bands. A fine representative sample volume from the oldest illustrated botanical periodical still in production. "The reputation of the Magazine has always resided in the accuracy of its portrayal of plants. This pictorial record of garden and greenhouse plants from the temperate and tropical regions of the world has no rival. " (Desmond p.7) William Curtis had witnessed from personal experience that his clients refused to buy folio pictures of unassuming plants (vide. his Flora Londinensis) but he felt that they would subscribe to an octavo work which pictured the showy plants that filled their gardens: from this premise was born the Botanical Magazine in February 1787. The work was immediately successful, was published throughout the 19th and 20th centuries and is still produced to this day. The main glory of the Botanical Magazine has always been the coloured plates. Many of the greatest British botanical illustrators of the last two hundred years have had worked published in this periodical: the majority of the earliest plates are by Sydenham Edwards; other artists who followed in his footsteps include James Sowerby, John Curtis, William Jackson Hooker and, for much of the second half of the 19th century, Walter Hood Fitch. In the 20th century the great tradition was continued by Lilian Snelling, Margaret Stones and others.

Rosaceae -
Rosa spinosissima. From: Flora batava by Jan Kops and others.
|
. Amsterdam, J.C. Sepp, 1807, volume 2, plate 96. Hand-coloured engraving (sheet 225 x 278 mm). Text enclosed.. Note: The Flora batava, a monumental work forming a beautifully illustrated survey of all indigenous plants in the Netherlands. It was started in 1800 by Jan Kops, a Dutch agronomist and professor of botany at Utrecht. The first 10 volumes constitute all that was prepared and issued under his supervision. When finished at last in 1934, Willem Jan Lütjeharms was the editor for volume 28, in which he concludes that this work has ended now and that publication took longer than any comparable foreign flora: "De Flora Batava heeft langer geleefd dan een der met dit werk vergelijkbare buitenlandsche plaatwerken." The long publication period reflects the change in the technique of its illustrations. Initially copper-engravings were used, followed by lithographs, all coloured by hand, but from volume 25 colour-printing was gradually introduced. Also several artists were involved, but the plates are not signed, nor much information is given about them. Most plates in the first 3 volumes were illustrated by Georg Jacob Johann van Os. He was born in 1782 in The Hague and settled in Paris in 1826, where he worked for the Sevres porcelain factory and was a painter of flower and fruit pieces, still lifes, etc. These early, finely engraved plates are exquisitely coloured by hand. Each plate is accompanied by a text in Dutch and French. The first publisher, J.C. Sepp en Zoon, was renowned for its scientific colour-plate books. The work was issued in 8vo and 4to. This plate is in the most desirable 4to format.
