Sampson Low, Marston, Searle & Rivington, London, 1884. First edition of this comprehensive Victorian guide to book illustration, featuring twenty-four specimens of modern print processes. A printer by trade, Hodson notes that popular techniques of illustration developed more rapidly in the nineteenth century than in the prior three hundred years of print history, and offers a practical guide to current methods, "including those which are mechanical and chemical, as well as those which are based upon the application of the discoveries of photography." The plates include original examples of traditional illustration processes (line engraving, etching), as well as newer ones like chromolithography, zincography, heliotype, and Woodburytype. This copy is inscribed by the author in the year of publication, and includes an autograph letter signed by Hodson: "I have much pleasure in asking your acceptance of a copy of my book on 'Art Illustration,' & at the same time to thank you for your valuable contribution.' A crisp, near-fine copy of an uncommon book, inscribed by the author. Single volume, measuring 8.5 x 5.5 inches: [8], 224, [6], 32. Original deep blue blindstamped pebbled cloth, spine lettered in gilt, top edge gilt, black endpapers. Twenty-four plates, two mounted, three in color, demonstrating different printing processes; advertisements printed in red and black at rear. Ink presentation inscription by Hodson facing title, autograph note of presentation laid in. Joints lightly rubbed, spine ends bumped. [Attributes: First Edition; Signed Copy; Hard Cover]

London: Richard Bentley and Son, 1884. [Strange tales] FIRST ONE-VOLUME EDITION. Octavo (19 x 14cm), pp.viii; 471; [1], advertisements. Contemporary red half morocco over combed marbled sides, gilt titles and rules to spine, speckled edges. Owner name and date (1886) to flyleaf, toned to same, some acceptable wear to binding. Loosely inserted programme for a later theatrical production of Le Fanu's vampire tale Carmilla. A used yet presentable, robust copy of an absolute classic.

1884. Rare to find this work complete, in 12 volumes. A fascinating piece of European history for those interested in Ancient Greece, or indeed the author and politician, George Grote. Born in Kent in 1794, Grote was a English classical historian, best known for his work 'A History of Greece'. Passionate about Politics, he was considered somewhat of a radical, taking a keen interest in John Stuart Mill's Utilitarian Society. Indeed his first published work was entitled 'Statement of the Question of Parliamentary Reform', and called for radical changes to the British political system. He would later serve three parliaments as an MP before the support in his party 'The Philosophical Radicals' subsided, and he eventually resigned.

London: Chatto and Windus, 1884. Large octavo. Original grey cloth, spine lettered and decorated in brown and gilt, front cover decorated in brown with crossed-sword motif and arabesques, edges untrimmed, black coated endpapers. Bookseller's ticket partially removed from front pastedown. Spine gently rolled, lightly toned, rubbing to extremities, minor wear to very tips, small mark to front cover, a couple of bumps to rear cover; a very good copy. With numerous illustrations throughout the text. First edition. As early as 1923 Penzer considered this book "very scarce", and it is today surprisingly uncommon in the original cloth. Burton, a master fencer, intended it to be the first part of a comprehensive three-volume work on the sword, but he suffered a heart attack shortly after publication, and parts II and III, which are referenced throughout the book, remained incomplete at the time of his death in 1890 and were never published.

Lightly dust-soiled at center fold line; near fine condition. Rare first appearance of Wilkie Collins' short story "The Girl at the Gate" published in New York in December 1884 before its January 1885 appearance in "The English Illustrated Magazine." "The Girl at the Gate" was explicitly written for this special December 27, 1884 "Christmas Spirit" issue of The Spirit of the Times, The American Gentleman's Newspaper. It was later reprinted as "Mr. Lepel and the Housekeeper" in the book Little Novels, a collection of Collins' short stories published in 1887 toward the end of his life. The narrator of the story declares, "One of my objects in writing these lines is to vindicate the character of an innocent woman (formerly in my service as housekeeper) who has been cruelly slandered." (p658) Set in Italy, the short story concerns a love triangle, a mysterious illness, and poisoned medicine. The story is notable for its positive portrayal of Roman Catholicism, a priest playing a minor role in the plot. Contemporary English ".critic Edmund Yates wrote an article on Collins's fiction, suggesting that it was exceeded only by that of Dickens, Thackeray, and Charlotte Brontë." (ODNB) Collins, a collaborator with Charles Dickens at the magazine Household Words, had, like Dickens, toured and given public readings in America.

Brattleboro, Vermont: , 1884-1885. Brattleboro, Vermont, 1884-1885. With limp manuscript slipcase/chemise. Good. 23 by 17 cm, stab bound above by ribbon. 11 card leaves, including front cover, all painted, mostly with silhouettes. Front cover, with a period aesthetic style design, has Greek ornamentation and other period vignette illustrations, does not have silhouette illustrations, and a few elements of illustration elsewhere are not silhouette. That said, we count 26 silhouette illustrations, which count might be adjusted slightly up or down on one's judgment of whether something is a separate illustration or not, with a few additional silhouette drawings on the chemise slipcase. Generally the illustrations are clever and humorous, and the combination of those on a single leaf can relate a coherent narrative like a comic strip, a form that had as yet not been created in newspapers but which did have prior roots, most notably with Topffer's comical multi-cell illustrations. Condition: slipcase ribbon edge somewhat tattered and partly loose on bottom edge. Considerable wear and spotting on this slipcase, yet its pictorial integrity remains well preserved. Ribbon used to bind the manuscript proper replaced. Cloth used along upper edge as repair material to recreate holes of stab binding.
