2011932698<p>Seattle WA: Ouroboros Press / Ars Obscura Bookbinding 2011. NEW / From the Publisher see image : "Trade Cloth Edition : Gilt-stamped cloth over boards in letterpress printed dust jacket. Over thirty alchemical texts in 528 pages. Illustrated bibliography & table of obscure words. This complete edition of the Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum goes beyond the mere reprinting of the original pages as past facsimiles have done. Using the original errata sheets provided by Ashmole the entire text has been corrected and reset in a more readable typeface and features clear reproductions of the original engravings produced by Robert Vaughan. In addition this edition features a more complete version of the Breviary of Natural Philosophy by Thomas Charnock by employing a complete manuscript of the text not available to Ashmole in 1652. This is the most ambitious publishing project embraced by Ouroboros Press in its years of laboring to bring source works of western esotericism to scholars and collectors alike. Over a dozen individuals and institutions worked hard to bring the book into this complete and corrected edition. This is fine esoteric book arts at its best a volume Elias Ashmole himself would be proud of. Robert Vaughan Engravings John Goddard et al. Alchemical Engravings Ornamental Grotesques Dragons Trees and Fleurons. Includes an 11 x 14 Folding Plate Titled George Ripley's Wheel John Goddard's Diagram With Rubricated Title PageThe Theatrum Chemicum Britannicum is a major collection of English alchemical texts which encapsulate the arcana of the Magnum Opus in poetic form. Originally gathered from several rare medieval manuscripts by Elias Ashmole the text represents the largest collection of verse treating of the production of the Philosopher's Stone to be brought together in one volume. Ashmole's pride in English literature is amplified by the consideration he gave to the project. In deciding which texts should be included in the book he details ancient British examples among the Druids & the Bardic Tradition and explains that poesy is much better than mere verse. Here we find well known names in the alchemical corpus among whom are included; Thomas Norton George Ripley Geoffrey Chaucer John Daston Pearce the Black Monke Richard Carpenter Abraham Andrews Thomas Charnock William Bloomefield Edward Kelley John Dee Thomas Robinson William Backhouse John Gower John Lydgate W. Redman and several anonymous authors. This who's who of English alchemists is placed in historical context by a Prolegomena by Ashmole which supports his thesis that England may be proud of its alchemical literary heritage. In addition Ashmole has provided ample annotations and commentary to each of the texts as supplementary material in the concluding chapter of the book. The text has a new introduction by William Kiesel and a full bibliography of alchemical and bibliographic materials used in researching the text". The Complete and Corrected Edition.

1935008712New York: Coward-McCann Inc. 1935. Second edition. Hardcover. This is a lovely presentation copy of the second edition of this Christmas anthology edited by Robert Frosts eldest daughter featuring several noteworthy signatures inscriptions and presentations. This copy offers a compelling and ostensibly unique convocation of associations - including the poet Robert Frost his daughter Lesley Frost infamous Frost collector Earl J. Bernheimer and newspaper columnist and syndicator George Matthew Adams. A two-page facsimile manuscript of Robert Frost's poem "Good Relief" fills two pages preceding the title page. Below his facsimile signature in six lines in black ink Frost signed and wrote "Robert Frost - second signature for Earl J. Bernheimer April 5 1936". The Editor Leslie Frost signed "Lesley Frost" below her printed name on the title page. She further signed and inscribed the front free endpaper recto in five lines three at the upper center two at the lower left: "For George Matthew Adams from Lesley Frost N.Y.C. June 1951". <br /> <br />Already unique by inscriptions and association this copy is also noteworthy for condition approaching fine in a very good plus dust jacket. It is an attractive little book bound in blue cloth with elaborate gilt print and illustration on the spine the contents bound with red and yellow head and tail bands and yellow-stained top edges. The dust jacket is striking printed in green red and black on a silver background the holly leaves and banners design of the binding spine repeated in color on both the jacket spine and front face edges with further illustrations on both faces. This copys blue cloth binding is square clean bright tight and sharp-cornered with only trivial hints of shelf wear to extremities. The contents are clean and bright with no spotting no soiling no appreciable toning and retaining a crisp feel. The dust jacket is bright unclipped and nearly complete with only fractional loss at the spine head flap fold corners and the bottom edge of the front face. Light soiling to the rear face and minor scuffs primarily to the extremities joints and flap folds do not significantly mar the books excellent presentation. The book is housed in a marbled-paper-lined black cloth chemise nested within a black cloth slipcase with three gilt-printed dark red leather spine labels. The slipcase is intact though worn with some loss to the perimeter of the labels. <br /> <br />The circa 1929 facsimile manuscript of Frost's poem "Good Relief" herein is the first published appearance of this poem which was never included by Robert Frost in one of his collections. "The poem was begun in Beaconsfield England in 1912." It was first printed in the first 1929 edition of Come Christmas and printed again here in the 1935 second edition. <br /> <br />The recipient for whom Frost inscribed this copy was one of the twentieth centurys first significant Frost collectors. A wealthy Beverly Hills bibliophile Earl J. Bernheimer began collecting Frosts books and manuscripts in 1936 - the same year Frost inscribed this copy of Come Christmas to him. Capitalizing on Frosts financial anxieties Bernheimer eventually acquired from Frost a magnificent trove of Frostiana with Frost entertaining the hope and understanding that Bernheimer would one day donate everything to a single university library. Instead owing in part to a rancorous and expensive divorce and to Frosts manifest resentment Bernheimer sold off his collection in a famous 1950 New York auction. <br /> <br />The editor Lesley Frost Ballantine or Lesley Frost as she always liked to be known 1899-1983 was the second child of Robert and Elinor Frost. She spent her early childhood on the Derry New Hampshire farm that informed her fathers developing poetic voice and where he drafted many of his early poems. It was during her first marriage and after the birth of her first daughter Elinor named after her mother and to whom this book is dedicated that Leslie edited this collection of Christmas Poetry Song Drama and Prose. This 1935 second edition was issued when Lesley was divorced and teaching. She was an author and worked in various fields but her most well-known work was as custodian of her fathers legacy. She eventually served as the first chair of the Robert Frost Foundation oversaw restoration of the Frost farm in Derry and gained an international reputation for her correspondence with her fathers friends and for her articles and lectures on his work. <br /> <br />George Matthew Adams 1878-1962 to whom Lesleys inscription is addressed was a newspaper columnist and founder of the George Matthew Adams News Service which syndicated columns and comic strips to more than one hundred newspapers all over the world over the course of half a century. <br /> <br />References: Crane E17; Parini Robert Frost: A Life; Tuten and Zubizarreta; University of New Hampshire; University of Rochester ANB <br/><br/> Coward-McCann, Inc. hardcover
