1780110671Single plate. London: Harrison and co. 1780-81. Single plate 10 x 7.5 ins. A little browned around the edges very good. § First edition thus issued originally in parts and perhaps thus of great rarity. The last copy to change hands was in 1993 when Essick bought his copy; he has not recorded another copy in the marketplace since. That rarity is born out by ESTC which records 4 copies in all two at the BL seriously imperfect one in Oxford Queen’s College and one in North America Bentley Blake Collection at Victoria University. It is noteworthy for the profusion of illustrations from classical sources and in the five plates engraved by Blake he shows his knowledge of the work of Rubens and Raphael most likely from reproductions in earlier illustrated books.

18861092194to. Edmonton: William Muir 1886. 4to 1 blank 2 Preface 3-23 text 24 On Homer’s Poetry 25 blank. Original wrappers upper wrapper titled in manuscript lower wrapper blank stitched as issued. Bookplate of Templeton Crocker. § Copy #50 of 50 copies numbered and signed by Muir. Includes “All Religions are One†and Muir's own version of the missing plate b5 as in other copies and also the separate plate “On Homer’s Poetry†not found in the other copies above but present in copy #40 for sale at James Cummins. Essick notes: There is No Natural Religion. The "Preface" dated 1886 indicates that the facsimile is based on plates "in the British Museum copy A and from some papers in my own possession copy L." However the printed front wrapper of Muir's Europe facsimile 1887 indicates that "Mr. Burt's copy H--which according to Joseph Viscomi is a forgery" was also used. This would seem to be correct since copies A and L are printed in olive and green whereas plates a1 a2 and b1 in the facsimile are in brown as in copy H. Also includes plate 2 of All Religions are One the original of which is bound into There is No Natural Religion copy M and Muir's own version of the missing plate b5. Delivered to Quaritch 8 Sept. 1886. Note: There is No Natural Religion copy M also printed in brown but it seems unlikely that this was "Mr. Burt's copy" since copy M was in the Tulk family collection until 1956.†BB#249g.
