First edition of Blake’s engravings after these dreamy and slightly surreal illustrations. Bentley Blake Books 471A. Essick William Blake’s Commercial Book Illustrations XLIII. DNB notes of Hayley: “Possibly his greatest achievement however was his didactic poem Triumphs of Temper 1781 which ‘was to reform the entire feminine mind of England by the advice’ Bishop 53. This allegorical work aspired in rhyming couplets to teach young women the virtues of a pleasant nature. Its advice was heeded by some: Emma Hamilton thanked Hayley ‘for the lessons she had learnt from the poem’ P. Jaffe Drawings by George Romney 1978 44 and asked Romney to inform Hayley that his poem ‘made me Lady H. … for Sir W. minds more temper than beauty’ ibid. Triumphs of Temper ran into fourteen editions and proved to be the most durable of all his publications.†J. Seagrave for T. Cadell and W. Davies unknown books

108761London: Longman Hurst Rees Orme & Brown 1817-1831. Oblong folio 2 34 plates 30 from Piroli's original set plus 4 by Howard; Hesiod title page 37 Blake plates the first a second title page. Bound in original half brown morocco and cloth gilt title to front cover wear to spine edges and corners binding strained due to weight of pages and apparently with an earlier repair holding reasonably firm. § Bound with Flaxman's Aeschylus here the 1831 issue published by Miss Flaxman and Maria Denman. The Aeschylus is rather dusty and with occasional mild foxing marks and an old triangular dampstain at the upper right corner affecting the first 20 plates to a decreasing extent not touching the designs. Bentley believes 50 copies of this issue were printed on publication in 1831. The Hesiod plates are dated 1816 or 1817 consistent with Bentley's note that 200 sets were printed in 1817 but sold slowly such that 18 sets were still unsold in 1838 and dealers made up combined copies of the Flaxman titles in various combinations. This set appears to be one such set. The Hesiod plates are generally clean with light dusting to margins a few margins slightly mottled and also occasional light foxing to a few but mainly to outer margins.
