TASSO, Torquato.
La Gerusalemme Liberata.
|
Folio (400 × 260 mm) gathered and signed in fours. Contemporary straight-grained red morocco by L. Staggemeier (with his orange label), sides with wide gilt and blind decorative border, spine divided into six panels by double false bands, lettered in two panels, the others with a large gilt centre tool, dentelles and morocco inside hinges, green endpapers, gilt edges. Engraved portrait frontispiece by Raffaello Merghen. A little rubbing to extremities, lower joint of vol. II slightly darkened, overall very good. A splendid edition in large paper format of Tasso’s La Gerusalemme liberata (first published 1580), here in an imposing pair of Staggemeier bindings. “Of this edition, superintended by [Giovanni] Rosini, only 250 copies were struck off, and one on vellum” (Ebert, General Bibliographical Dictionary). The lavishness of the format is here matched by the binding, produced by one of the many German émigré binders working in the London book trade. L. Staggemeier of Osnabruck had started in partnership with Samuel Welcher, also a native of Germany, by at least 1799. They seem to have separated into separate businesses in adjoining buildings in Villiers Street, Strand, about 1810, and they disappear from the directories by 1820. In their heyday they were among the most prolific workshops in London producing “extra” quality work, and they worked extensively for James Edwards, the Pall Mall bookseller.

CAMPE, J. H
Metzi'ath Ha'aretz Hachadasha
|
1807 1807. CAMPE, Johann Heinrich. Metzi'ath Ha'aretz Hachadasha [On the Discovery of America by Columbus]. Altona: Samuel and Judah Bonn [i.e., Segal], 1807. Small octavo, modern three-quarter brown calf, raised bands, red morocco spine label, marbled boards. $2800. First Hebrew edition of this children's history of the discovery of the New World, with woodcut navigational illustration. Precedes David Zamosc's 1824 translation, which is often cited as the first. Speculation about Columbus' Jewish roots began in 1492 and has never been completely dispelled. Though Campe's work does not openly argue that Columbus was of Jewish descent [Campe himself was not Jewish], the persistent interest of Jews in the mere possibility made the Hebrew-reading public eager for new material on the man who discovered America. Campe's popular history was first published as Die Entdeckung von Amerika (1780-82; see Sabin 10293) and translated into most European languages. The translator Frankfurt was greatly influenced by Naftali Herz Wessely, a leading figure of the Haskalah, or Enlightenment. In his introduction he writes at length about the importance of wisdom and knowledge of secular subjects as well as the Torah, clearly placing this work in the context of the Haskalah. He also mentions that he has been in correspondence with Campe regarding his translation, and he reports that Campe is "happy that his work would be used to uplift the downtrodden Jewish youth." This is the first appearance in Hebrew, translated by Moses ben Mendel Frankfurt [Mendelsohn], preceding by 17 years the translation by David Zamosc of Breslau (Mezi'at Amerika, Breslau, 1824), incorrectly cited by the Encyclopaedia Judaica as the first translation of Campe's work on Columbus into Hebrew. Zedner, 165. Steinschneider 4643. First few leaves slightly darkened. A very good copy.

Selon l'expose des motifs : C Le Monument dont l'Empereur vous appelle aujourd'hui a tracer le projet sera le plus auguste, le plus imposant de tous ceux que sa vaste imagination a concus et que son activite prodigieuse sait faire executer. C'est la recompense que le vainqueur des Rois et des Peuples, le fondateur des empires, decerne a son armee victorieuse sous ses ordres et par son genie. La posterite dira : il fit des heros et sut recompenser l'heroisme. [...] E l'interieur du monument, les noms de tous les combattants d'Ulm, d'Austerlitz et d'Iena seront inscrits sur des tables de marbre, les noms des morts sur des tables d'or massif, les noms des departements avec le chiffre de leur contingent sur des tables d'argent. E Un concours fut lance auquel participerent quatre-vingts artistes. Le projet de l'architecte Pierre-Alexandre Vignon fut retenu par l'Empereur lui-meme, contre l'avis de l'Academie imperiale : un temple periptere, retour a l'antiquite, inspire de l'architecture grecque et romaine.

London: Printed For Richard Phillips, 1807. - 4to. pp. xii, 602, [2]plate list & ads. folding hand-coloured engraved map of the St. Lawrence & 27 plates: 26 aquatints (6 folding) & 1 line engraving. 19th century half chagrin (bit rubbed, front joint cracked, plates offset as always, short tear in 1 plate repaired). First Edition. This is a variant issue, with the plates printed in black and white on thin paper, rather than in sepia on thick paper. Heriot’s position as deputy post-master general of British North America (1800-16) required that he travel extensively throughout the Canadas. As Spendlove remarks, the appointment was a fortunate one for posterity, for it was on these numerous journeys that he produced his many exquisitely fine watercolour and ink sketches, some of which form the basis of the present work. Like the majority of the topographical artists of his day, Heriot had studied under Paul Sandby at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, and was certainly one of his most accomplished pupils. Spendlove considered him to be the finest watercolourist working in Canada at the time. "Illustrated books on North America are curiously few in the period with which we deal. By far the most interesting is Heriot’s Travels Through the Canadas.interesting for its aquatints by Stadler and Lewis after Heriot." (Prideaux) The charming plates include views of Quebec from Port Levi, the Azores, St. Paul’s Bay, Quebec from the Citadel, Quebec from Beauport, Falls of Montmorenci (two), Jeune Lorette, Falls of Chaudière, Falls of La Puce (two), Ruins of Château Richer, Lake St. Charles, River Etchemin, Bridge on the Jacques Cartier, Montreal from the Mountain, Cascades of the St. Lawrence, Fort of Niagara, Whirlpool of the Saint Lawrence, Falls of Niagara (two), Grande Chaudière on the Outaouais River, and depictions of French Canadian dancing (two), an Indian encampment, and Indian costume. Besides being "the earliest and the most important aquatint book published on Canada" (Hill), Heriot’s book provides one of the best contemporary accounts of the Loyalist settlements in Canada as well as much interesting information on the fur trade, travels in the North, the cod fisheries, &c. The second part of the work contains a detailed description of American Indian cultures, largely derived from the works of Lafitau, Lahontan, and others, as well as from Jesuit manuscripts at Montreal. Included is Father Rasle’s vocabulary of the Algonquin languages. Dionne II 934. Field 687 (24 plates). Gagnon I 1657. Hill pp. 142-43. Lande 433. Morgan p. 184. Pilling, Algonquian, p. 229.

(etw. fleckig, gering bestoßen, leicht beschabt, Rücken mit wenigen Wurmspuren). Ruffini (1765-1822) war Mathematiker, Mediziner und Philosoph. Er und Gauß scheinen 1799 als erste die Vermutung ausgesprochen zu haben, dass allgemeine Polynome vom Grad größer 4 nicht in Radikale auflösbar sind – heute der Satz von Abel-Ruffini. Ruffini gab gleichzeitig auch einen „Beweis" dafür an, der allerdings noch unvollständig war: Die gruppentheoretischen Grundlagen, die für einen vollständigen Beweis erforderlich sind, waren zu seiner Zeit noch nicht ausgearbeitet. Ruffini selbst jedoch trug wesentlich zur Ausarbeitung dieser Grundlagen bei, so dass später Cauchy daran anknüpfen konnte, daran wiederum Abel und Galois, die das Problem (und mehr) schließlich lösen konnten.- Innendeckel mit Bibl.-Schildchen, Titel mit Bibl.-Stempel.

DEAN, WILLIAM (Translator):
Daily Manna for Christian Pilgrims by Baron Stow. [Yesu xün tu yang xin ri ke]. Translated into Chinese by W. Dean. Hong Kong 1844.
|
Size: 13,5 x 25 cm. Title leaf in English + 90 lvs with text in Chinese. Chinese title missing. Sewn as issued in the oriental manner. English title page torn with some sections of printed border missing. First few leaves with small marginal tears. The paper is very brittle. Housed in a special made paper covered box. A Chinese translation of Stow's "Daily manna for Christian pilgrims". William Dean (1807-95), Amercian Baptist missionary who first worked with the Chinese living at Bangkok and in 1842 was transferred to Hong Kong. Dean was the first westerner to learn the Chaozhou (Ch'iu-chow) dialect of the Chinese language and founded the Hong Kong Swatow Baptist Church in 1842. We believe this is among the very first missionary work to be printed at Hong Kong (maybe the first). As from 1844 many ordinances with rules and regulations for the mercantile community in Hong Kong were printed at the Office of the China Mail in Hong Kong (see Löwendahl, Sino-Western relations, pp. 157 - 165). However, we cannot trace any other missionary work published in HK before 1850. We have been able to locate only two copies of this work; at British Library (Wade-Giles fiches catalogue) and the National Library of Australia, both including the Chinese title. See Dean, "The China Mission" 1859, pp. 18-20.

SALMAGUNDI; OR, THE WHIM-WHAMS AND OPINIONS OF LAUNCELOT LANGSTAFF, ESQ. AND OTHERS
|
New York: Published by David Longworth, At the Shakespeare Gallery, 1807-1808. New York: Published by David Longworth, At the Shakespeare Gallery, 1807-1808.. Twenty parts (as described below). The majority untrimmed and sewn in printed wrappers, very good to fine, plus two duplicate parts in printed wrappers. Enclosed in a folding half morocco slipcase (joint broken). The Alfred L. Rose set of Washington Irving's first original literary publication, cowritten with William Irving and James Kirk Paulding, and one of the most bibliographically complex American literary productions of the 19th century, as well as one of the rarest in wrappers. This well- known set offers fifteen of the twenty parts in the first edition in wrappers, along with other numbers in wrappers in later printings and variants, and was consulted by Langfeld and BAL in the course of the still- evolving bibliographic study of this work. The front wrapper of the second number of this set is featured as plate II in Langfeld & Blackburn. BAL's analysis of text and wrappers, with its attendant qualifications and hypotheses, and superceding Langfeld & Blackburn's analysis, as well as that in Wilson's catalogue, has been followed below. ^Part 1. Copy A.: Second edition, BAL's wrapper B. Minor tears to spine at stitching. ^Part 1. Copy B.: Fourth edition, BAL's wrapper G. Narrow partial split to wrapper spine. ^Part 2. Copy A.: First printing, BAL's wrapper B. Small chip at lower edge of front wrapper toward spine. ^Part 2. Copy B.: Third edition, BAL's wrapper G. ^Part 3. First printing, BAL's wrapper B. Very early light ink calculations toward top edge of front wrapper. ^Part 4. Second edition, BAL's wrapper G. Narrow partial split to spine of wrapper. ^Part 5. First edition, second state of text, BAL's wrapper D. ^Part 6. First edition, leaf B in setting B (state A), no priority, BAL's wrapper D. ^Part 7. First edition, second state, BAL's wrapper D. ^Part 8. First edition, first state of the text, first state of the portrait (uncommon thus), BAL's wrapper E. ^Part 9. First edition, BAL's wrapper E. ^Part 10. First edition, presumed first state of the imprint, BAL's wrapper F. Old strengthening to foredge of two leaves. ^Part 11. First edition, BAL's lst(?) state of 214:5, wrapper F. ^Part 12. First edition. Untrimmed but lacking wrappers. Old repairs to corners and edges of a few leaves, a few old ink spots. ^Part 13. First edition, lacks front wrapper but rear wrapper BAL's O, some old repairs at extremities of leaves. ^Part 14. First edition, wrapper J. ^Part 15. First edition, lst(?) state without imprint on p.234. BAL's wrapper L(a). ^Part 16. First edition, first state, BAL's wrapper M. ^Part 17. First edition, second state of 350:22, BAL's wrapper M. ^Part 18. First edition, first state of p.373, and 2nd state of 374, BAL's wrapper N. Old repair to marginal tear in first leaf. ^Part 19. First edition, BAL's wrapper O. Early ink note "No. 19" on front wrapper. ^Part 20. First edition, second state. Trimmed, no wrappers, and without the inserted title-leaf and table for Vol. II. ^SALMAGUNDI in parts, in wrappers, is one of the classic tests of collectors' perseverance. The number of extant sets in wrappers is small, and of those sets, those with each number in the first edition is considerably smaller. Carroll Wilson proclaimed his set (put together beginning with nine parts from the Braislin collection) the only perfect set, as it contained the then only known uncut copy of the first printing of part one in wrappers. Accompanying this set is a manuscript account by Alfred Rose of an evening he, Carroll Wilson, and William Langfeld spent collating their respective sets, an occasion upon which Rose's set produced the hitherto unnoticed variant wrappers without the copyright notice and with the dated imprint (present on parts 1, 2 and 3). This form of the wrapper was taken to be the actual first printing of the wrapper, a form which was discarded due to the need to conform to copyright requirements and then used accidentally. Wilson challenged the priority of this form of the wrapper in the description of his set in his THIRTEEN AUTHOR COLLECTIONS OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY, but BAL affords these wrappers priority (forms 1 and 2 of the front wrapper), all the while noting that the original binders may have used whatever wrappers came to hand when binding up parts. BAL details twenty permutations and combinations of front, rear and inner wrapper forms, based on six forms of the front wrapper; some of these twenty forms evolved only as the series progressed, and obviously only properly appear on later numbers, or later printings of those numbers. From the entire field of individual parts BAL consulted in order to arrive at their findings, a total of only fourteen individual examples featured one or the other of the two variants of this form of the front wrapper, three of which are present here. The paucity of copies of numbers in parts, untrimmed in wrappers, leads BAL to comment that "the final [definitive] collation of SALMAGUNDI has not been achieved." ^We note the sale at auction of only one complete set of SALMAGUNDI in parts and wrappers, and that with the first number lacking the rear wrapper, with first, mixed and variant states of the first printing texts thoughout. It was one of two nearly complete sets assembled by David Randall over a span of many years, and sold for $11,000 in 1971. It is described and illustrated in the private catalogue of the Behrman collection, and is now at Princeton. Randall's other set is at the Lilly. As with so many other bibliographic matters, David Randall's memoir, DUKEDOM LARGE ENOUGH (1969) sheds interesting light on copies of SALMAGUNDI in wrappers: "Some idea of their rarity may be gleaned from the fact that I know of only a handful of scattered parts ever being in the trade in my time, and there has been a total of exactly none, except Braislin's nine [purchased by Randall at Braislin's sale in 1937, lot 339, wherein this set is cited], sold at auction in the past fifty years." The Martin sale did not include a set (or the title in any form), and the Stockhausen collection included only a two volume set bound up from parts, without wrappers. None of the distinguished First Books catalogues of the last twenty-five years included a set in wrappers, though Seven Gables' MORE FIRST BOOKS (1972) offered a set bound up from parts, without wrappers, first, second, third and mixed states, for $2,250. Apart from the parts then in Randall's hands, this is the only privately owned set recorded by BAL. With the majority of the known sets in wrappers in institutional collections, it would seem unlikely that a more satisfactory set than this may be acquired. BAL 10097. WILSON I, pp.157-60.

James Swan, Printer, Fleet Street [Thomas Davison, Printe...
Printed handbill appeal on behalf of the printer James Swan, headed 'Dreadful Fire in Fleet-Street', with list of subscribers.
|
Dated 'London, Aug. 27th 1807.' 'T. Davison, Printer, Whitefriars.' Printed on one side of a leaf of wove paper, 22 x 13.5 cm. Very good on lightly-aged paper, with thin strip of glue from tipping-in to inner margin of recto. Beneath the heading is a 29-line testimonial relating to 'the recent and memorable case of Mr. JAMES SWAN, printer, in Fleet-street, who had his extensive premises, stock of printing materials, and dwelling-house destroyed by the dreadful conflagration which happened at midnight of the 20th inst.' (A report of the 'tremendous blaze' appeared in The Times, 21 August 1807, under the heading 'TERRIBLE FIRE'. ) The testimonial begins 'THERE are few cases more calamitous than an honest and industrious tradesman's being, in the course of a few moments, overwhelmed in dreadful ruin; to have his stock in trade, his household furniture, his wearing apparel, and all his comforts and prospects in life destroyed by that all-devastating element, fire.' Swan is described as 'an upright and industrious tradesman', 'a dutiful son, a tender father, an affectionate husband', who, with a 'loss amounting to about 2000l.', is now 'rendered incapable of cheering the declining moments of an aged mother, of soothing the sorrows of an affectionate wife who was totally deprived of sight a few years since, and of raising his sons and daughters to that rank in society, to which he fondly looked forward as the pleasing reward of his ardent labours, and the cheering prospect of his declining years.' Beneath the testimonial is a list of thirty-four 'Subscriptions Received', with names and amounts, beginning with £21 from 'Henry Hoare and Co. Bankers', and ending with five guineas from 'Messrs. Nichols and Son'. Beneath this are the details of three firms, under the heading 'Subscriptions received at the Banking-houses of'. Davison's slug is in the bottom right-hand corner. Swan's dates of business are given in BBTI as 1799-1829, and his addresses as '7 Haberdasher's Walk, Hoxton. 4 Angel St, Newgate St. 76 Fleet St. Crown Ct, 71 Fleet St', with the following note: 'Firm probably established by Robert Swan c1748. Part William Darton 1799. Trading as Swan & Son 1809-19. With W Blackader'. 'Scarce: no copy on COPAC or WorldCat.

KEMBLE, John Mitchell.
London, 1863.

First edition, published posthumously and largely edited by Augustus Wollaston Franks who was also responsible for the compilation, discussion and description of the plates. 'In relation to archaeological thought Frank's most perceptive and influential work occurs in his edition of Kemble's Horae Ferales, in which Celtic art is for the first time properly defined' (D.M Wilson). John Kemple (1807-1857) was an Anglo-Saxon scholar who had studied under Jacob Grimm in Göttingen. By 1854 he turned his attention to pre-historic archaeology, and made excavations in the principality of Lüneburg. While in Germany he had also made a vast number of drawings of pre-historic antiquities in the museums of Berlin, Munich and Schwerin. Later the committee of the Art Treasures Exhibition at Manchester employed him to collect and arrange Celtic and Roman antiquities for the ecxhibition. M. Caygill & J. Cherry (ed.), A.W.
