Selected Poems

199537584San Francisco: Arion Press 1995. Fine. Number 200 of 250 numbered copies with 26 lettered copies hors de commerce. It is the forty-seventh publication of the Arion Press and rather scarce with no copies in commerce. The book shares characteristics with the sixth publication of the press Moby-Dick by the same author of 1979 in that the same typeface is used Goudy Modern . it is printed on the same paper which was made for that edition by hand to the specifications of the press at the Barcham Green Mill in England and bears watermarks of the mill the press and of a sperm whale; and the same artist Barry Moser has engraved a new portrait of Herman Melville on Resingrave for the frontispiece. The text type was composed and cast on the Monotype by Mackenzie & Harris. The display type is Goudy Open and was set by hand. The book was designed and produced by Andrew Hoyem and conceived in many ways as a companion to the 1979 Moby Dick one of the most important press books of the twentieth century." from the Prospectus. This book was suggested to Hoyem by the renowned scholar of poetry Helen Vendler. She regarded Melville as among the greatest American poets of the 19th century and was eager to make a selection that would show the variety of his best poetry. Despite the importance attached to his poems today by scholars and critics seldom did readers have any appreciation for Melville the poet. Bound in bright blue cloth with darker blue dyed leather goatrskin bands left over from the earlier Moby Dick. The bands run across the top and bottom edges of the book with title and author in silver foil. Printed on octavo sized paper of 6.75 x 9 7/8 inches using Goudy Modern type in a smaller point size than the 1979 volume. Top page edges trimmed while the fore-edge and bottom edges are untrimmed. The signatures were folded by hand and each copy was sewn by hand with linen thread over linen tapes. Housed in a blue cloth slipcase with blue goatskin title label to spine.

Speech by the Right Honourable R. Seddon Premier sic of New Zealand. Hon. Seddon's Speech cover title

1902121030Klerksdorp: H.M. Guest Printer and Publisher Bookseller Stationer etc. 1902. Very Good. Klerksdorp H.M. Guest Printer and Publisher Bookseller Stationer etc. 1902. Tall octavo 253 × 160 mm 4 pages a bifolium. Some marginal creases; two puncture marks near the top left-hand corner; a very good copy. The position of prime minister in New Zealand was known as premier until 1907. Robert Seddon 1845-1906 was premier from 1893; he died in office. He 'attracted much publicity for his outspokenness about the South African war: he visited South Africa in 1902 at General Kitchener's invitation. He was increasingly ready to arouse and exploit popular nationalism' 'Dictionary of New Zealand Biography'. The speech was 'Delivered at a Dinner given in his honour by the Public Bodies of Johannesburg during his recent visit' en route to the 1902 Colonial Conference in London held on the occasion of the coronation of Edward VII. The conference opened on 30 June 1902. In 1939 Herman Guest the publisher's son had some of these original Klerksdorp printings bound up and issued with a new foreword telling the story of the production of his father's 'records of the campaign in the Western Transvaal and elsewhere. It will be realized that the accounts were written during times of stress and consequently some of the statements have an "ex parte" complexion. Their value . lies in the fact that they were written and produced when Klerksdorp was practically in a state of siege. The inhabitants were unable to proceed a mile in any direction from the market square and the one railway line although closely guarded was frequently disturbed by Boers'. Provenance: a Western Australian member of the 4th Battalion Australian Commonwealth Horse. H.M. Guest, Printer and Publisher, Bookseller, Stationer, etc. unknown
