His thesis consisted of an original book of poems Worn Earth which won the Yale Series of Younger Poets Prize. A sojourn in England followed via a Rhodes scholarship and study under the poet Edmund Blunden. This may help explain why Engle is the only American among the four contributors to this work. Engle took a post at the University of Iowa in 1937 where he spent the remainder of his academic career. By the end of his life he had published more than a dozen books of poetry and left an enduring mark on the institutionalization of creative writing. <br /> <br />Frosts Selected Poems had first been published in 1923 with 43 poems from Frosts first three published collections. This 1936 new and expanded edition now with 62 poems was the first book of Frosts to contain material by others with introductory essays by W. H. Auden C. Day Lewis Paul Engle and Edwin Muir. It was published first and only in England where Frosts first book A Boys Will had been published in 1913 23 years before. It had been in England that this quintessential American poet had been first published and recognized. Now preeminent in America Frost was being reintroduced to England. As explained by the publishers note on the dust jacket flap: Mr. Robert Frost is by now recognized as the outstanding poet of his generation in America and to the few but still too few in England his work has long been known as unique in its kind it is a striking tribute to the appeal of his poetry that Mr. W. H. Auden Mr. Cecil Day Lewis Mr. Paul Engle and Mr. Edwin Muir should have contributed for this volume four specially written essays of critical appreciation uniting in their admiration of an artist older in years but unageing in his sensibility and performance. <br /> <br />References: Crane A5 & A22; ANB; Parini Robert Frost: A Life <br/><br/> Jonathan Cape Ltd. hardcover

1826biblio51Graham John A.; Memoirs of John Horne Tooke together with his valuable Speeches and Writings: Also containing Proofs Identifying him as the Author for the Celebrated Letters of Junius 1826 8vo Covers off spine cover wanting. Light fox and toning. A rare book.This book was presented to: Mrs. Sarah Ann E. Strong presented by the Author with his best respects and high consideration." The front cover is detached and on it is written Dr. Graham New York. There is fox throughout but mostly light with some toning as well. It is a rare book. Sarah Ann Strong married a Henry Strong who was a descendent of Caleb Strong revolutionary war soldier and governor of Massachusetts. There were several persons believed to be 'Junius' a person who wrote public letters to the London newspapers which published them. John Horne Tooke was one that was the author of Junius. John Horne Tooke 25 June 1736 – 18 March 1812 was an English politician and philologist. He was born in Newport Street Long Acre Westminster the third son of John Horne a poulterer in Newport Market. As a youth at Eton College Tooke described his father to friends as a "turkey merchant". Before Eton he had been at school in Soho Square in a Kentish village and from 1744 to 1746 at Westminster School.12 January 1754 he was admitted as sizar at St John's College Cambridge and took his degree of B.A. in 1758 as last but one of the senior optimes Richard Beadon his lifelong friend afterwards Bishop of Bath and Wells being a wrangler in the same year.1 Horne had been admitted on 9 November 1756 as student at the Inner Temple becoming friends with John Dunning and Lloyd Kenyon. His father wished him to take orders in the Church of England and he was ordained deacon on 23 September 1759 and priest on 23 November 1760. For a few months he was usher i.e. an assistant teacher at a boarding school at Blackheath. On 26 September 1760 he became perpetual curate of New Brentford the incumbency of which his father had purchased for him. Tooke retained this poor living until 1773. During part of this time 1763–1764 he traveled on a tour in France acting as a "bear-leader" i.e. a travelling tutor to a wealthy man. The excitement created by the actions of John Wilkes led Horne into politics and in 1765 he brought out a scathing pamphlet on Bute and Mansfield entitled "The Petition of an Englishman". In the fall of 1765 he escorted another rich young man to Italy. In Paris he met Wilkes and from Montpellier in January 1766 addressed a letter to him which began the quarrel between them. In the summer of 1767 Horne returned and in 1768 secured the return of Wilkes to parliament for Middlesex. With inexhaustible energy he promoted the legal proceedings over the riot in St George's Fields when a youth named Allen was killed and exposed the irregularity in the judge's order for the execution of two Spitalfields weavers. His dispute with George Onslow MP for Surrey who at first supported and then threw over Wilkes for place culminated in a civil action ultimately decided after the reversal of a verdict which had been obtained through the charge of Lord Mansfield in Horne's favour and in the loss by his opponent of his seat in parliament. An influential association called "The Society for Supporting the Bill of Rights" was founded mainly through the exertions of Horne in 1769 but the members were soon divided into two opposite camps and in 1771 Horne and Wilkes their respective leaders broke out into open dispute. On 1 July 1771 Horne obtained at Cambridge though not without some opposition from members of both the political parties his degree of M.A. Earlier in that year he claimed for the public the right of printing an account of parliamentary debates and after a long struggle the right was established. In the same year 1771 Horne argued with Junius and ended in disarming his masked antagonist. Letters of Junius or Junius: Stat nominis umbra is a collection of private and open letters from an anonymous polemicist Junius as well as other letters in-reply from people to whom Junius had written between 1769 and 1772. The collection was published in two volumes in 1772 by Henry Sampson Woodfall the owner and editor of a London newspaper the Public Advertiser.The collection includes 69 letters 29 to the Printer of the Public Advertiser originally intended for public readership with the remaining 40 to individuals then made public. It included letters written by Philo Junius who some say was Junius himself. Several unauthorised editions were published before 1772 and many others afterwards. The 1772 Woodfall edition however was believed to have been arranged by Junius and includes the opening "Dedication to the English Nation" in which Junius expresses his desire to educate the public and thanks them for their support. In the "Preface" he grants ownership and copyright of the letters to Woodfall. Junius was the pseudonym of a writer who contributed a series of political letters to the Public Advertiser from 21 January 1769 to 21 January 1772 as well as several other London newspapers such as the London Evening Post. Charges were brought against several people of whom two were convicted and sentenced. Junius himself was aware of the advantages of concealment as he wrote in a letter to John Wilkes dated September 18 1771. Two generations after the appearance of the letters speculation as to the authorship of Junius was rife. Sir Philip Francis is now generally but not universally believed to be the author. According to Alan Frearson there is scholarly consensus in favour of Sir Philip Francis; he divides the evidence into four classes and reports that each class "points most strongly to Francis".This scholarly theory has been called the "Franciscan theory" at least since Abraham Hayward's More about Junius: The Franciscan theory unsound 1868. Numerous subsequent publications have been written by those skeptical about the identification with Francis. John Cannon editor of an edition of the Letters published in 1978 adhered to the Franciscan theory. As Francesco Cordasco puts it "while the Franciscan theory has recently enjoyed new life it remains contested and impossible to demonstrate categorically. John Horne Tooke: A case for John Horne Tooke is based on Tooke's involvement with the Society of the Supporters of the Bill of Rights. This organization existed during the same years as the appearance of the Letters of Junius. 56 Libraries have copies of the book none have signed editions. Stephen Gould hardcover

180123544London: Printed at the Oriental Press by Wilson & Co. for Edward Harding 1801. First Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Quarto pp 205 217 with two folding hand-colored maps and 47 engraved plates in a contemporary full calf binding with gilt rules spine in six compartments with red and black spine labels and gilt embellisment. Some rubbing to boards especially at joints and head of spine a little worming to boards. Binding sound scattered foxing but generally clean. The maps which are in very nice condition show Pennant's route from London to Dover and then from Dover to the Isle of Wight. "Thomas Pennant was a Welsh antiquarian and naturalist whose works were very popular in the eighteenth century. His reputation was built on his important natural history survey British Zoology first printed in 1766 and his accounts of two tours of Scotland undertaken in 1769 and 1772. Pennant made further tours in Wales and in England between 1773 and 1787 and his popularity among amateur naturalists and antiquarians resulted in the development of a comprehensive network of correspondents many of whom supplied him with additional information that he added to subsequent editions of his works. Aside from his 1783 book describing the antiquities on the road between Chester and London and his immensely popular account of the antiquities of London none of Pennant’s English tours were published during his lifetime. This account of his 1787 tour to the Isle of Wight was edited by his son David and published in 1801. Rather than heading directly to the island Pennant’s tour took in much of the south-east coast of England travelling first from London to Dover before traversing the coasts of Kent and Sussex" Royal Collection Trust.
