WHITE JACKET; OR THE WORLD IN A MAN-OF-WAR

1853WRCLIT56707London: Richard Bentley 1853. Two volumes. Modern three quarter calf and marbled boards in 19th century style gilt labels edges rough trimmed. But for some very isolated minor foxing and a few negligible marginal smudges a very good set. No half-titles are called for. First edition second issue with the cancel titles dated "1853." The original London printing which preceded the U.S. edition by two months consisted of only one thousand sets. As a consequence of their tepid sales in 1853 Bentley bound up remaining sets of sheets of this title of REDBURN and of THE WHALE in several forms of remainder cloth bindings including two-and three- volumes in one format with cancel titles bearing the new date. In the remainder format both due to the somewhat smaller quantities issued thus as well as to the exceptionally vulnerable multi-volume in one format they are much less often seen than the primary issues.

His books on elocution remain the standard authority more than 250 editions of The Principles of Elocution and The Standard Elocutionist having been printed" DAB. His visible speech system predates the International Phonetic Alphabet by about 20 years and was his attempt at creating a system of writing that could both represent every sound produced in any language and would also be derived from the physical act of producing sound so that it could be taught to deaf students by way of the physiology of language alone. The system only saw serious use for about a dozen years before it was deemed less efficient than other methods and was abandoned by educators. <br/><br/> Simpkin, Marshall & Co. etc. hardcover books

Armorial bookplate of Robert Henry Herbert "Ung Je Serviray" with clipped manuscript gift inscription affixed below illegible small nicks and frays at spine ends two blank lower fore-corners neatly clipped but a good sound copy. The first posthumous printing of the text one of four of Melville's proseworks prepared for reprinting by the United States Book Company by Arthur Stedman and of those four the only one to include an Introduction by Stedman. Melville authority Merton Sealts has called the Introduction "the best short Life of Melville written in the nineteenth century." Stedman commissioned La Farge's imaginative depiction of Fayaway which appears before the first page of text. The four titles appeared in several different colors of cloth. OMOO and TYPEE shared the same cover illustration. These editions are not uncommon but they are difficult to find in agreeable edition. United States Book Company hardcover books
