Large 8vo. 270 x 194 mm. Each vol. with half-title title and frontispiece and a total of 199 hors-texte monochrome plates as well as numerous monochrome vignettes all engraved by Brevière after Grandville. The first edition of Grandville's anthropomorphic masterpiece in the deluxe publisher's binding.This exceptional copy bound in full maroon morocco features all of the plates in the first issue as per Carteret and the first issue of the binding incorporating the special tools after Grandville's designs but without the additional decorative tools to the corners of the central panels of the front boards. The legend 'Badigeonographie générale des murailles de la France et de l'étranger' to the frontispiece later removed by the censor is present and four of the original yellow paper part wrappers the two volumes were issued in 100 parts are retained. Grandville's inspirational illustrations were engraved on wood by Brévière coted by Ray as 'the one craftsman whose renderings of his work Grandville refused to criticize'.The twenty-nine tales by various authors of the Scènes de la Vie Privée et Publique des Animaux are accompanied by J. J. Grandville's wonderful anthropomorphic illustrations. The tales themselves are by the foremost authors of the day with four by Honoré de Balzac Peines de Coeur d'une Chatte Anglaise Guide-Ane à l'Usage des Animaux qui Veulent Parvenir aux Honneurs Voyage d'un Lion d'Afrique à Paris and Les Amours de Deux Bêtes as well as tales by George Sand Voyage d'un Moineau à Paris Paul Bernard Les Animaux Médecins Charles Nodier Jules Janin Paul de Musset and so on. The majority of the stories and text is by P.-J. Stahl who wrote the Preface to the first volume. In contrast to all of the other plates the final plate in volume two depicts human figures - the authors themselves - as animals in the Jardin-des-Plantes in Paris regarded by spectating animals while being sketched by Grandville himself.'Through Grandville's animals Hetzel and his colleagues the authors offered a witty and telling commentary on contemporary politics and personalities. Bouchot described the result as the best satire on French manners during the middle of the century . Returning to the 'têtes-de-bêtes' of 'Les métamorphoses du jour' Grandville provided 323 illustrations about two-thirds of which are full-page plates . '.

A printer and journalist of Quaker background from the Wilmington-Brandywine-Philadelphia area Niles had worked in Philadelphia and Wilmington before moving to Baltimore in 1805 as editor of the Baltimore Evening Post. When that paper was sold in 1811 he launched The Weekly Register. The editor had large ambitions: he intended to be ""an honest chronicler"" who ""registered"" events not just for his contemporaries but for posterity as well. Although politics would be covered extensively the Register would eschew any partisan slant -- ""electioneering"" as the editor called it. Furthermore the paper would ignore local news in favor of national and international news."" - http://www.nilesregister.com/NRessay.htm Articles in this issue: <br /><br />Legislature of Georgia Governor Mitchell's Message to the Legislature Milledgeville Nov. 1 1813<br /><br />Vermont Militia by Martin Chittenden & Samuel Swift Commodore Rogers - John RodgersEvents of the War - Torpedoe Warfare by Elijah MixCaptain Perry Oliver Hazard PerryVermont Political accusations flew between John Henry and leaders in Vermont including the following "the state of Vermont may be considered as an ally of Great Britain"General William Henry Harrison Proclamation of armistice with 7 named Indian TribesGeneral William Henry Harrison Proclamation of Canadan land in his possession rules and rightsLetters and documents about the War of 1812Military statement about the Creek War from Fort StoddertAmerican Prizes - Sloop Eliza Ann captured by the Timothy PickeringRoyal AffairsThe Chronicle - Peter Early was Elected governor of GeorgiaHamilton's Alexander Hamilton Report Weekly Register

He was the fifth son and eighth child of George III who reigned in both the United Kingdom and Hanover. After his brother William IV's death his niece became Victoria I of England and he ascended to the throne of Hanover.In early May 1743 just 6 months after the first edition of Hoyles "A Short Treatise on Whist" was pubished the anonymous play The Humours of Whist was published obviously satirizing Hoyle and the contemporary mania for gaming. Less obviously the play satirizes the battle between the pirates and the publisher. The long title of the play is The Humours of Whist. A Dramatic Satire as Acted every Day at White's and other Coffee-Houses and Assemblies. The play was never performed-but all the behavior being satirized must have been evident every day at the coffee houses where gaming took place. This is an early and rare pamphlet.
