ALIGHIERI Dante.
        LA COMMEDIA DI DANTE ALIGHIERI COL COMMENTO INEDITO DI STEFANO TALICE DA RICALDONE. Pubblicato per cura di Vincenzo Promis e di Carlo Negroni.
      Prima edizione. Cm.35,5x25,7. Pg.XX, 396. Robusta legatura in mz.pelle coeva con piatti marmorizzati. Titoli e fregi in oro al dorso a quattro nervature, lievemente spellato. Timbro di antica proprietà rimosso al frontespizio. Lievi, fisiologiche fioriture, ma eccellente esemplare, di notevole rarità. "Furono due eruditi di prim'ordine quali Vincenzo Promis e Carlo Negroni (il primo è il Bibliotecario del Re, il secondo un bibliofilo che colleziona codici danteschi, nel 1888 ideatore della Società Dantesca Italiana, sindaco di Novara e senatore) a curare l'edizione della Commedia commentata da Stefano Talice. Due le stampe: a quella torinese del Bona (1886), seguì quella di Hoepli (1888), lussuosissima, voluta espressamente dal sovrano Umberto I. L'opera fu presentata come autografo, ovvero creazione originale del Talice (operante tra XV e l'inizio del XVI secolo, ma lontano dal suo paesello), anche se un filologo attento quale il Rodolfo Renier aveva avanzato già nel 1884 forti dubbi quanto all'originalità del contenuto della fonte, un codice cartaceo della Biblioteca Reale. Le glosse, infatti, potevano più facilmente appartenente all' "albero di famiglia" dei codici che derivavano da un famoso commento trecentesco di Benvenuto da Imola. Una delle preoccupazioni dei curatori, fu ovviamente quella di ricostruire la figura del dotto letterato: non solo quella dei Talice di Ricaldone (ma l'etimo del cognome potrebbe essere D'Alice) era nell'alto Monferrato famiglia "tra le più antiche e cospicue", ma il dotto Stefano, sulla scorta delle ricerche condotte da storici considerati affidabili quali l'acquese Guido Biorci e il torinese Emanuele Vallauri, fu identificato con quel magister, nonché egregius grammaticae professor, rector - direttore - scolarum Savillani (qui la fonte è la Storia di Savigliano del Canonico Casimiro Turletti, 1883 - 1888), nonché il trascrittore di un libro - Le Comodità in villa - del filosofo e agronomo Pier Crescenzio. Ma, in effetti, come si capisce bene, sul Talice sembran oggi più le lacune che le certezze (e forse c'è più di un sospetto che diverse identità possano essere confluite in una). Dal 1904, invece, un dato sicuro giunge da Michele Barbi, che individuò la fonte del commento del Talice da "una lettura fatta nel 1375 a Bologna da Benvenuto da Imola", mentre già nel 1891 un altro filologo, il Rocca, si era occupato del problema ritrovando somiglianze fortissime col commento del Talice nell'edizione del commento di Benvenuto da Imola, contenuta nel codice Laurenziano Ashburnhamiano 839. Concludeva il Barbi che, in entrambi i casi, si trattava di "stesure dell'esposizione bolognese di Benvenuto da Imola ma scritte "per opera di due diversi uditori" (cfr. Chiara Bentivegna, Il canto XVI del Purgatorio. Storia della critica). Ma "d'autore" risulta, almeno, la sottoscrizione, posta al termine del codicillo. Apprendiamo così che opera e lectura Dantis Aldigherii, poete florentini furon concluse per me Stephanum Talicem de Ricaldono in Burgo Liagniaci (Lagnasco), 15 kalendis novembris [il 18 ottobre, quindici giorni prima del 1° novembre] 1474, hora 12a (circa le sei di sera). Il nome di Dante è fondamentale per la giovane nazione che è l'Italia a fine XIX secolo. Nel 1865 cade il sesto centenario della nascita di Dante quando l'Unità è proclamata da soli quattro anni; in fondo basta questo per farne una bandiera nazionale...."

(OXFORD ENGLISH DICTIONARY) MURRAY, James H. (ed.)
        A New English Dictionary on Historical Principles;
      Oxford: Clarendon Press,, 1888-1933. Founded mainly on the materials collected by The Philological Society. Edited by James A. H. Murray. 11 volumes, quarto (330 x 258 mm). Contemporary brown half morocco, dark red cloth sides, raised bands, titles and ruling to compartments gilt, marbled edges and endpapers. Bindings slightly rubbed and bumped, some boards sunned and slightly soiled, light wear to extremities, prelims and endmatter foxed, margins of text block slightly toned with occasional mild spotting and finger-soiling, a few inner hinges cracked but firm, a few corners turned; Volume III rebacked with the original spine laid down. A very good set. First edition in book form. "The N.E.D., as it was originally cited, or the O.E.D., as it is now known, is the greatest treasure-house of any language in the world, unrivalled for its comprehensiveness and ease of consultation as well as for its reliability and scholarship" (PMM 371). "The scheme of 'a completely new English Dictionary' was conceived in 1858… Herbert Coleridge and after him Dr. F. J. Furnivall, were the first editors. Their work, which covered 20 years, consisted mainly in the collection of materials, and it was not until Dr. J. A. H. Murray took the matter up in 1878 that the preparation of the Dictionary began to take active form…. The essential feature of the Dictionary is its historical method, by which the meaning and form of the words are traced from their earliest appearance on the basis of an immense number of quotations, collected by more than 800 voluntary workers. The Dictionary contains a record of 414,825 words, whose history is illustrated by 1,827,306 quotations" (Drabble, 728). The Dictionary was originally issued in fascicles which were then gathered into book form. After Murray's death the editing was entrusted to his colleagues Henry Bradley, W. A. Craigie, and C. T. Onions. The one-volume supplement, edited by W. A. Craigie and C. T. Onions, was published in 1933. This set from the library of the British Conservative politician Matthew White, Viscount Ridley (1842?-1904), with his bookplate to front pastedown of all but the last two volumes.

Vizetelly, Henry [Zola, Emile]
        Extracts Principally from English Classics: showing that the legal suppression of M. Zola's novels would logically involve the bowdlerizing of some of the greatest works in English literature
      none, 1888, Hardcover, Book Condition: Very Good +, First printingA Very Good+ copy of the GENUINE ORIGINAL FIRST EDITION and not the copy sometimes mistaken for it which John Carter dubbed the "pirated reprint". (This copy is in Very Good condition has been rebound in 3/4 leather with marbled boards. The spine tail shows some damage to the leather and there are a few mild rubs on the spine.) The pirated, near facsimile edition bears the 1888 date, but was published about 40 years later than the genuine First edition, First printing offered here. (The pirated edition is now known as the Max Harzof edition, published ca. early 1920s). As best we can determine, very few copies of the Genuine Original First Edition, offered here exist. (William Colburn-author of the article from which much of the bibliographical information in this description is taken- located only 24 copies, most of them in institutions, although he speculated that there likely are more than that number in existence). Vizetelly was the publisher most responsible for introducing Emile Zola to England's reading public. From 1884 to 1889, Vizetelly published 17 of Zola's works translated into English, all at affordable prices. Though sanitized a bit for the English reader, the National Vigilance Association objected to them and Vizetelly was charged with publishing obscene libels. (The book contains the text of the letter from Vizetelly to Sir A.K. Stephenson, solicitor to the Treasury, preceding the main text in which Vizetelly protests the intervention of the Government in the case against him.) After his conviction in 1988 for publishing "The Soil" ("La Terre") (labeled by the solicitor-general as a work of "bestial obscenity"), wherein he was enjoined from publishing Zola translations, Vizetelly continued nevertheless to do so, was convicted again, and was sentenced to three months imprisonment. The book at hand was published by Vizetelly (in pamphlet form) in response, citing and quoting numerous English authors from Shakespeare to Swinburne wherein those authors made references to fornication, whores, and related matters. In Very Good + condition, this copy meets all points required of the GENUINE ORIGINAL FIRST EDITION. A VERY SCARCE BOOK.

He took up photography and met Jeanne Rozerot, who became his mistress toward the end of the autumn.

Thayer, Ernest
        Casey at the Bat
      New York: New Amsterdam Book Co. 1st Edition. Soft cover. Very Good/Very Good. EXTREMELY SCARCE FIRST BOOK EDITION IN ORIGINAL WRAPPERS. Ernest Lawrence Thayer, a humor columnist for The San Francisco Examiner, submitted "Casey at the Bat" on June 3, 1888, after moving back to Massachusetts due to illness. It was the final ballad in a series published every other week. The initial response was minor; Thayer was paid five dollars and only a few papers in the east reprinted it. Then, that following winter, Archibald Clavering Gunter, a novelist, suggested to his friend William DeWolf Hopper, a comedian, that he memorize the poem for a performance attended by the New York Giants and Chicago White Stockings. â€¨ Hopper recounts: "When I dropped my voice to B flat, below low C, at 'the multitude was awed,' I remember seeing [the Giants' catcher] Buck Ewing's gallant mustachios give a single nervous twitch. And as the house, after a moment of startled silence, grasped the anticlimactic dénouement, it shouted its glee. They had expected, as anyone does on hearing 'Casey' for the first time, that the mighty batsman would slam the ball out of the lot, and a lesser bard would have had him do so, and thereby written merely a good sporting-page filler. There is no more completely satisfactory drama in literature than the fall of Humpty Dumpty." The poem became Hopper's most famous bit; he estimated he performed it over ten thousand times. "By 1900 almost everyone in America had heard or read the poem, but almost no one knew who had written it. Hopper himself did not find out who the author was until about five years after he had begun reciting it." Thayer emphatically denied that he had had any specific ballplayer in mind for any of the men mentioned in "Casey." He said, "The constant wrangling about the authorship, from which I have tried to keep aloof, has certainly filled me with disgust." Thayer also "refused to discuss payments for reprintings of 'Casey.' 'All I ask is never to be reminded of it again.'" "Friends said that toward the end of his life he softened a bit in his scornful attitude toward 'Casey.' By then T.S. Eliot had written an admiring parody of the poem, and even professors of English, notably William Lyon Phelps of Yale, had hailed 'Casey' as an authentic native masterpiece. 'The psychology of the hero and the psychology of the crowd leave nothing to be desired,' Phelps wrote in What I Like in Poetry. 'There is more knowledge of human nature displayed in this poem than in many of the works of the psychiatrist.'" (Martin Gardner, The Annotated Casey at the Bat) This is the first compiling in book-form of the classic American poem, featuring color illustrations and a dedication that reads: "Dedicated, by special permission, to that jovial patron of the national game Mr. DeWolf Hopper." New York: New Amsterdam Book Co., 1901. Octavo, original wrappers; custom silk box. Wrappers neatly detached (but secure under mylar), a few chips around the spine. Interior fine.

In March 1885 Yate was British representative at Panjdeh, an oasis on Afghanistan's western frontier, when Russian troops invaded and threatened to embroil Britain in a war on Afghanistan's behalf. On 29 March, in a dramatic gesture of hospitality which typified his tendency to respond to a situation in terms of its protagonists, Yate invited the Russian officers to dine with him between the two lines of opposing soldiers. Notwithstanding the exchange of champagne toasts in no-man's-land, the Russians seized the disputed territory at dawn the following day. For his boundary work, Yate was made CSI in 1887 and CMG in 1888" (ODNB).

Born in Cuba, Peter Henry Emerson (1856 - 1936) spent his early childhood in America, coming to England for his education. He became a doctor in England but gave up this career in order to devote himself to writing and photography, having been an amateur since 1882. In reaction against the stagnant artificialities of conventional salon photography, Emerson founded the 'school' of naturalistic photography. He published seven photographically illustrated books of landscapes in limited editions with platinotypes or photo - etchings. (See Gernsheim, History of Photography, pages 456 - 60). 'Emerson stressed the importance of natural settings and spontaneous poses, and opposed artificial studio setups or excessively contrived combination prints. He also advocated focusing sharply on the central object in a scene, with the other planes of the picture slightly out of focus... In 1885 Emerson exploded onto the photographic scene. With his pictures on display and winning prizes everywhere, he avidly engaged in writing, lecturing, and publishing to support and explain his theories, showing a talent for virulent diatribe against the opposition.'.

(SHIELDS, Henry.) MEIKLE, James
        Famous Clyde Yachts
      London: Oatts & Rungman,, 1888. Folio. Bound in recent green half morocco retaining the original green boards, titles and illustration to front board gilt. 31 mounted chromolithographic plates. A few marks to boards, and occasional minor foxing to some plates and text pages, but overall a very good copy of this rare work with fine colour plates. First and only edition. The Royal Clyde Yacht Club was the biggest in Britain at the end of the nineteenth century, larger even than the Solent Yacht Club, and Clyde yachts were world-famous as pioneers of the relatively new sport of yacht racing. This book reproduces in chromolithography a series of watercolours by Henry Shields RBA (1859?-1935) showing famous yachts or "white wings", mostly built 1880-87, with four boats built prior to 1880 included as notable precursors of the Clyde yacht boatbuilding style. Three of them (the "Genesta," "Galatea," and "Thistle") had made attempts to win the America's Cup.
