18861088104to. Edmonton: William Muir 1886. 4to printed upper wrapper; 1 blank 2 Preface 3-23 text; lower wrapper printed on the inside with the “Programme†dated November 1885. All bound into modern blue buckram red morocco label on backstrip bookplate of Joseph Holland and a Moncure Biddle typed library record at front Houghton Library Phil Hofer manuscript note pasted in at the back. A fine copy. § Copy No. 11 of 50.Includes “ All Religions are One†and Muir's own version of the missing plate b5. 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.†Bentley BB 249 G.

1893WRCLIT73714London: Bernard Quaritch 1893. Three volumes. Large thick octavo. Original green cloth spines and upper covers elaborately decorated in pictorial gilt after designs by Blake t.e.g. others untrimmed. Portrait facsimiles and plates. Spines somewhat rubbed and dull some shelfwear to joints and lower edges and bumps and wear to fore-tips endsheets a bit foxed and cloth a bit handsoiled some cracking and subtle repairs to inner hinges; still not a wholly disagreeable set of a work particularly susceptible to such issues. First edition. One of five hundred sets comprising the regular paper issue. Controversial in its interpretation of Blake's texts this work nonetheless remains in this issue and binding something of a landmark of 1890s book production. "The enthusiasm and comprehensiveness of this work are of considerable historical importance" - Bentley. Wade quotes Yeats's inscription in his own copy about the nature of this collaboration: "The writing of this book is mainly Ellis's the thinking is as much mine as his. The biography is by him. He re-wrote and trebled in size a biography of mine. The greater part of the 'symbolic system' is my writing; the rest of the book was written by Ellis working over short accounts of the books by me except in the case of the 'literary period' the account of the minor poems & the account of Blake's art theories which are all his own except in so far as we discussed everything together."

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
