Lamb says in his preface that he "wished to make these Tales easy reading for young children.for young ladies too it has been my intention chiefly to wrote because boys are generally permitted the use of their fathers' libraries at a much earlier age than girls are they frequently have the best of Shakespear by heart before their sisters are permitted to look into this manly book"; Hugh Walpole was a best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s with a large and varied output. Between 1909 and 1941 he wrote thirty-six novels five volumes of short stories two original plays and three volumes of memoirs. His range included disturbing studies of the macabre children's stories and historical fiction most notably his Herries Chronicle series set in the Lake District. He worked in Hollywood writing scenarios for two Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films in the 1930s and played a cameo in the 1935 version of David Copperfield. As a gay man at a time when homosexual practices were illegal for men in Britain Walpole conducted a succession of intense but discreet relationships with other men and was for much of his life in search of what he saw as "the perfect friend". He eventually found one a married policeman with whom he settled in the English Lake District. Having as a young man eagerly sought the support of established authors he was in his later years a generous sponsor of many younger writers. He was a patron of the visual arts and bequeathed a substantial legacy of paintings to the Tate Gallery and other British institutions. wikipedia. 1302843. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. M. J.

Songs of Innocence and Experience with other poems by W. Blake

18664020London: Basil Montagu Pickering 1866. First edition thus. 8vo in 4s. 172x105mm. pp. xii 108. Original brown cloth paper label to spine. Joint with upper cover split corners and label worn. Internally very good. Front free endpaper is inscribed "Frances Marten 1867 from H.C.R." On the front pastedown opposite is pasted a photograph of "H.C.R." who is Henry Crabb Robinson. The front free endpaper also has the book label of Priscilla and Samuel Meek. This reprint of Songs of Innocence and Experience contains two previously unpublished Blake poems. Two of the other poems were Bowdlerised and have lines replaced with asterisks to spare Victorian sensibilities. Henry Crabb Robinson 1775-1867 a lawyer journalist diarist and a co-founder of London University has been described as one of the best connected of literary men. He "knew almost every British writer of note from Blake Wordsworth Coleridge Lamb Southey and Hazlitt to Gaskell George Eliot and Matthew Arnold". Crabb Robinson's friendship with the elderly Blake was short they met in 1825 and Blake died in 1827 but unsurprisingly the shamanic artist and poet made an enormous impression. In his Diary Letters and Reminiscences. Crabb Robinson's describes his first meeting with Blake: "Shall I call him Artist or Genius—or Mystic—or Madman Probably he is all. He has a most interesting appearance. He is now old—pale with a Socratic countenance and an expression of great sweetness but bordering on weakness—except when his features are animated by expression and then he has an air of inspiration about him. The conversation was on art and on poetry and on religion". Crabb Robinson himself was an old man when this book was published which makes the gift all the more moving as he would have been one of the few people alive to have remembered Blake. Bentley 335A.

Reports on the Crab and Lobster Fisheries of England and Wales Scotland and Ireland

187717982London: George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode 1877. SCARCE. Hardcover. Very Good. SCARCE. Hardcover. SCARCE. A surprisingly interesting collection of reports on crab and lobster fisheries in the United Kingdom. It includes an appendix of natural history information but focuses on interviews with fishmongers and fisherman about their customs experiences and recommendations for future regulations in the trade. The reports detail differences in fishing practices standards and terminology within each region. Depending on the region different sizes of crabs and lobsters were considered to be acceptable for selling. Some regions reported significant hardships and recommended placing limits on catching given the sparsity of their catches. At the time it appears there were no federal regulations regarding size limits and it seemed to be a common opinion amongst fisherfolk that if regulations were set and enforced populations of crabs and lobsters might increase. Names of individuals interviewed along with particulars about their fleets practices and fish related thoughts are included in detail. The overall consensus seemed to be that there were noticeably less crabs and lobsters in recent years circa 1877 than 5 to 10 years prior; although this varies by region. Each interviewee seemed to have a different opinion as to why or how to fix the situation. Tall 8vo. Bound in navy cloth covered boards with original blue paper wrappers bound in as second endpaper. Interior very clean and bright with occasional pencil notations. Volume complete with three appendices a frontispiece foldout map and 8 folding illustrations of crabs and lobsters to the rear. Period bookplate to front pastedown. A scarce item in very good condition. NAT/070106. George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode hardcover
