Byron, [George Gordon Noel], LordBiblio.com

Autograph letter signed with initials "N. B." to George Stevens written below a letter in Italian by Pietro Gamba

1823352339Cephalonia 1823. 3 pp. on a single sheet bifolium with address To Msgr Stevens Argostoli. 8vo. Small tear above signature from opening wax seal still present. Old docketing in French. 3 pp. on a single sheet bifolium with address To Msgr Stevens Argostoli. 8vo. A notable Byron letter showing his commitment to join the armed struggle in Greece just before he left Cephalonia for the Greek mainland. As is frequently the case Byron writes beneath a letter from Count Gamba whose sister was Byron's mistress Countess Guiccioli addressed "Caro Stevens". The correspondent George Stevens was a customs official at Argostoli on Cephalonia and a recipient of several letters from Byron in 1823. "P.S. Dear sir Gamba is half asleep and and sic don't know what he says. I do not suppose it to be Parry's Brigade - but whoever or whatever it be - if it came from the committee I will attend to it with all diligence. The boats had better be engaged because if this intelligence is not confirmed I must sail at any rate and even if it be I shall sail as soon as possible after communicating with the vessels on their voyage which if my instructions do not err or I for them are committed to my direction. I do not perceive however how a ship directed to Greece Continental from London can touch at Ancona in its propoer course unless it has continued to pass the Alps by Steam or a special wind of Providence added to a new Deluge. But whether correct or otherwise the repeat of our friend Count Delladecima believe that I am ever and truly ." Byron had been staying on Cephalonia since August. Edward Trelawny his opportunistic and self-aggrandizing sometime travelling companion had gone to Greece in September and was soon converted to another faction in the Greek struggle for independence. In November Byron was besieged by requests for money and a week after this letter would pledge large sums to the cause. Here he demonstrates a considerable flash of wit and knowledge of current technology as he reminds his correspondent of the realities of Italian geography and suggests Steam power or a new Deluge as the only possible explanation for a proposed itinerary Ancona is on the Adriatic far to the north of Cephalonia. As the representative of the London Greek Committee "Byron remained in Cephalonia with Pietro Gamba multiplying his Greek contacts and assessing information he was gathering as a prelude to action. When Prince Alexander Mavrocordatos who eventually became first president of independent Greece moved to Missolonghi in December he invited Byron to join him and his forces" ODNB. Byron and Gamba departed from Argostoli on 29 December 1823. Gamba's vessel was captured and briefly held by the Turks; Byron reached Missolonghion 4 January 1824. This letter was previously known only in an excerpt from the description in catalogue 44 of F. Naylor July 1878 incorrectly dated to May and lacking the name of the correspondent published in A Heart for Every Fate: Byron's Letters and Journals Vol. 10 1980 pp. 161-162.

Observationes Mathematicae et Physicae in India et in China Factae à Patre Francisco Noël Societatis Jesu ab anno 1684. usque ad annum 1708.

1710B5718FROM PEKING TO PRAGUETHE CHINESE ASTRONOMY OF FRANÇOIS NOËLWITH A LARGE FOLDING STAR CHART OF THE SOUTHERN HEMISPHERE4to 19.1 x 15.2 cm 133 pp. 1 pp. including full-page engraved Chinese Calendar p. 59 numerous woodcut diagrams and tables with woodcut Chinese letters a full-page engraved plate of astronomical observations verso of p. 133 and with 1 large folding engraved star chart for the epoch 1687 signed Balthasar van Westerhaut woodcut headpiece and initials. Bound in contemporary calf gold-tooled spine red sprinkled edges. Some rubbing and edge wear to spine and boards minor warning to covers. Contemporary annotations moderate browning in a few quires occasional minor toning small 3 mm. hole in chart not affecting images.Rare first and sole edition of one of the few works published in Europe to record detailed first-person observations made at Jesuit astronomical observatories in China in the 17th century and one of the first works to convey information on Chinese observational data and astronomical traditions to a Western audience. Compiled by the Belgian-born polymath François Noël 1651-1729 the Observationes Mathematicae et Physicae in India et in China represents a full account of this Jesuit's astronomical career. The volume is illustrated with a large folding celestial chart of the southern skies incorporating observations Noël made at the Jesuit Colleges at Rachol in Goa Macao and Bahia in Brazil. Other illustrations include a full-page plate engraving the 1690 transit of Mercury Noël's observations of Jupiter and his method for recording magnetic inclinations for use in navigating by compass at sea as well as a full-page plate illustrating the Chinese Sexagenary calendar.Noël's discussion of Chinese astronomy Chapter V not only serves as an introductory primer but also is a fastidious record of Chinese observational data collected by Noël from Chinese star catalogues and charts and he even retains information which was at odds with European observations. Noël produces a chart of the relevant Chinese calendrical characters the Ten Heavenly Stems and the Twelve Earthly Branches an engraving of the Sexagenary calendar a table of the 28 Chinese constellations a list of Chinese zodiacal signs with a chart comparing them to European signs. His extensive Catalogus Latino-Sinicus pp. 65-103 compares Chinese and European stellar nomenclatures. Here Noël lauds the "extreme antiquity of Chinese astronomy which began some 4000 years ago" but puzzles over the fact that the Chinese tradition records "many small stars which are no longer visible"; he dutifully records these numerous stars in the Catalogus but notes that "they are either very faint or perhaps made up" "minimae aut fictae" "vel minimae vel fictae" etc. Noël apologizes for not printing the Chinese characters for star names "because of the difficulty of having them cut in Europe" p. 67. Chinese weights and measures are also discussed.In other chapters Noël offers his observations of Jupiter's satellites made while in Huai'an in 1689-90 including tables comparing his data to observations made by others in Nanjing and Paris as well as a description of 16 observations both telescopic and made with naked-eye instruments of lunar and solar eclipses he made in Goa Macau Siam Peking Shanghai Nanjing Huai'an Tshusima Island Trincomalee Sri Lanka etc. between 1684 and 1707. He provides an extensive list of his longitude and latitude observations for numerous locations in China and India which he made between 1687-1708 as well as readings from Bahia in Brazil including a table summarizing the longitude and latitude of more than 80 cities and towns in China. In his 13-page catalogue of some 350 southern stars ascensions declinations magnitudes for the epoch 1687 Noël cites the recent work of Riccoli Hevelius and Halley taking issue with several of their measurements; the folding Mappa Stellarum Australium engraved by Balthasar van Westerhaut illustrates the placement of southern stars as observed by Noël.The work's final chapter includes Noël's extensive notes on the Comets of 1695 1701 and 1702 which he observed from Peking and Java meteorological curiosities he saw in Asia twilight unusual rainbows and planetary observations including an unusual visual aberration that occurred when he viewed Jupiter through a 13.5-foot telescope in Nanchang in 1694 this observation is illustrated aberrations he encountered in viewing Venus through a 40-foot telescope in 1697 and data from Jean de Fontenay's 1643-1710 observation in Canton of the 1690 transit of Mercury also illustrated here.Interestingly the present example preserves contemporary annotations to Noël's catalogue of magnetic declinations and inclinations he made Chapter VIII using a magnetic needle during his 1706 journey from Portugal to India and his 1708 voyage from the Sunda Strait between Java and Sumatra westward to Brazil. The annotator has carefully underlined and enumerated Noël's 201 location readings apparently for incorporation into a larger table or chart he hoped would be useful in resolving the ongoing problem of pinpointing longitude in sea navigation. Halley had only recently published his groundbreaking map of magnetic variation in Atlantic waters 1701 and his world chart was still decades away from publication.Noël joined the Society of Jesus at age 19 in 1670 and studied theology mathematics and astronomy at the University of Douai. He departed on his first Asia journey in 1684 hoping to join the Japan mission but the longstanding ban on Western missionaries by the Tokugawa shogunate foreclosed on this possibility. Noël instead spent two years learning Chinese at Macao before traveling to the Chinese mainland in 1687 where we traveled widely doing missionary work primarily related to the lower classes and abandoned women and children. He was a major figure in the Chinese Rites controversy and his role in this and other Jesuit Roman Embassies was the impetus for the various journeys recorded in the Observationes Mathematicae et Physicae. Known in Chinese as Wei Fangji Noël published widely on Chinese Confucian classics. He returned to Europe for good in about 1709 settling in Prague to teach mathematics at the Jesuit-staffed Charles-Ferdinand University under whose auspices he quickly published the Observationes Mathematicae et Physicae.OCLC locates U.S. copies at the Library of Congress Adler Planetarium Boston College Michigan Princeton and Wisconsin.

Childe Harold.

1816174164London: John Murray 1816. Inscribed by Byron to inspire his fellow writer and later by Maturin in memory of his friend Presentation copy of Childe Harold's Pilgrimage inscribed by Byron on the half-title "To the Revd R. C. Maturin from the Author". Following Byron's death in 1824 Maturin inscribed a quatrain from a contemporary poem by James Montgomery on the rear free endpaper in memoriam: "Friend after friend departs; / Who hath not lost a friend / There is no union here of hearts / That hath not here an end". Byron and Maturin enjoyed a warm literary friendship beginning in December 1815 when they were introduced by Walter Scott. That month Maturin sent Byron the manuscript for his Gothic tragedy Bertram. Byron adored the play writing to John Murray that he received the manuscript "late in the evening and read it through without being able to stop" Murray letter to Scott 25 December 1815. In a letter to Maturin he praised the work as "a very extraordinary production - of great & singular merit as a composition" 22 December 1815. Byron helped Maturin bring his work to the stage sending the manuscript to George Lamb with whom he managed the Drury Lane Theatre Lamb like Byron read the play by candlelight and "could not go to bed without finishing it". Despite his enthusiasm for Maturin's tragedy Byron found himself exiled from England from April 1816 and never saw the play performed. His Childe Harold was nonetheless an important influence on its success: "Bertram undoubtedly benefitted from the great popularity of Byron's Childe Harold's Pilgrimage the first two cantos of which had been published in 1812 for the hero of Maturin's play was spoken of by a number of contemporary critics as a 'Byronic figure'" Lougy p. 45. The play became Maturin's first critical and commercial success and his touching inscription at the rear of the volume reveals the gratitude and affection he felt for the poet. This copy of Childe Harold is from the 1816 edition of Byron's collected works. Vol. I of IV only duodecimo 165 x 106 mm. Engraved plate by Thomas Stothard with tissue facing p. 10. Contemporary unlettered calf. Housed in a custom brown quarter morocco folding box by the Chelsea Bindery. Book label of J. O. Edwards to front pastedown. Binding worn front joint cracked but cords firm contents clean. A good copy in unrestored condition. Robert E. Lougy Charles Robert Maturin 1975. unknown

Don Juan.

1819142573London: Thomas Davison i.e. John Murray 1819-1821 Cantos I-V Volumes I-II/John Hunt 1823-24 Cantos VI-XVI Volumes III-VI. Scarce complete first edition set of Byron's great work which was widely criticized as immoral upon publication and is now considered one of the greatest poems of the Romantics; from the library of American writer Erica Jong. Volume one was produced in quarto format and the subsequent 5 volumes in octavo Davison abandoned the quarto format after disappointing sales of the first volume six volumes uniformly bound in full morocco with gilt titles and tooling to the spine double gilt ruling to the front and rear panels gilt inner dentelles marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With an autograph letter signed by Lady Byron bound into the first volume. Written from Moore Place Esher the letter reads in part "Dear Sir I am much obliged to you for offering to look for another young Teacher in place of the one who is engaged but I have no difficulty in finding a Substitute. I should however be glad if you could find me an older master for a situation in Warwickshire - to manage a day-school on the Garden plan for Bogs - the emolument would not exceed 20 to 24 pounds with Board - He would be under the direction of a very good Clergyman - A single man would be preferred there being no room at the Schoolhouse for him - she must lodge at some distance. Lady Olivia Sparrow is still active in her charitable undertakings though I sometimes wish they were less governed by hasty feelings in religious matters. Yours truly A.I. Noel Byron Moore Place Esher Nov 19th." From the library of Erica Jong. Jong remains best known for her 1973 novel Fear of Flying which became famously controversial for its portrayal of female sexuality and figured prominently in the development of second-wave feminism. Written in the first person and narrated by its protagonist 29-year-old American poet Isadora Wing Fear of Flying was written in the throes of the Sexual Revolution of the 1970s and encapsulated the movementâ€™s redefinition of female sexuality. In interviews Jong stated: â€œAt the time I wrote Fear of Flying there was not a book that said women are romantic women are intellectual women are sexualâ€”and brought all those things togetherâ€¦ What Isadora is looking for is how to be a whole human being a body and a mind and that is what women were newly aware they needed in 1973.â€ The novel remains a feminist classic and has sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. Jong notable used a quotation fromÂ DonÂ Juan as the epigraph in Fear of Flying "Alas! the love of women! it is known To be a lovely and a fearful thing; For all of theirs upon that die is thrown And if 'tis lost life hath no more to bring To them but mockeries of the past alone And their revenge is as the tiger's spring Deadly and quick and crushing; yet as real Torture is theirs -- what they inflict they feel. They are right; for man to man so oft unjust Is always so to women; one sole bond Awaits them -- treachery is all their trust; Taught to conceal their bursting hearts despond Over their idol till some wealthier lust Buys them in marriage -- and what rests beyond A thankless husband -- next a faithless lover -- Then dressing nursing praying -- and all's over. Some take a lover some take drams or prayers Some mind their household others dissipation Some run away and but exchange their cares Losing the advantage of a virtuous station; Few changes e'er can better their affairs Theirs being an unnatural situation From the dull palace to the dirty hovel: Some play the devil and then write a novel" Lord Byron Don Juan 1824. In fine condition. Scarce and with fine provenance. "The War and Peace of English poetry Don Juan contains an epic sweep that moves from Spain to the East and to Russia before ending in Englandâ€¦ At the same time that Byron's broad canvas foretells the scope of the great 19th-century novels the poet's own sensibilities echo the picaresque 18th-century novels of his early reading Smollett and Fielding with their bawdy humor and sly inversions of vice and virtue. Unlike these prose narratives however Don Juan has no beginning middle or end. It draws us in not to learn 'what happens next' but to hear what this seductive confidential teasing voice is going to tell us" Eisler 610. When Cantos I through V appeared they did so without the name of either author or publisher on the title page. Publisher John Murray refused to print Byron's dedicatory poem which ridiculed English poet laureate Robert Southey and Byron refused to put his name on a censored publication. Because of Byron's change from his long-standing publisher Murray to John Hunt brother of writer Leigh Hunt midway through Don Juan complete first-edition copies with all cantos are scarce.

This second edition is considerably enlarged and expanded: it is more than twice the size of the first edition has 9000 more pages and 73 more plates. Furthermore a continuation was written called Vervolg op M. Noël Chomel which added a further 9 volumes to the already hefty work.The encyclopaedia was originally published in French by Noël Chomel 1632-1712 as Dictionnaire oeconomique 1709. Chomel was an agronomist entrusted with the domestic management of the possessions of the abbey at Vincennes where he acquired all the knowledge necessary to write his encyclopaedia. The first Dutch version of the encyclopaedia translated and edited by Jacques Alexandre de Chalmot -1801 was published in 1743. The second edition appeared between 1768-1777 and was published a second time in 1778. Chalmot who was also the author of the Vervolg lists the sources he has used to complement Chomel's text in the introduction: for instance the works of Linnaeus Houttuyn Merian Van Leeuwenhoek Swammerdam Bufon Lobel Dodonaeus en Knoop. He also mentions the cooperation of Prof. Petrus Camper who has contributed many articles.Interestingly the Dutch edition also became popular in Japan. In the 18th century the Japanese came into contact with Western-European science via a Dutch trading post on the island of Deshima. Parts of the encyclopaedia were translated into Japanese between 1811 and 1845 under the title Koshei Shimpen. A small portion of the sprinkled paper on the front board of volume 11 has scraped off. Volume 15 has a small stain on the front. Volume 5 and 7 are missing the "bericht aan den boekbinder". Overall the set is in very good condition with only slight traces of use.l Sijs N. van der Verantwoording van de digitale uitgave van huishoudelyk woordenboek door Noël Chomel; STCN 21514368X ad 1 and 156926164 ad 2; cf.

Stonehouse director of London's Henry Sotheran Booksellers. Their miniatures were painstakingly crafted by the talented painter Miss C. B. Currie 1849-1940. As the style grew in popularity other publishing houses quickly began to reproduce this technique-each developing their own desirable take on the aesthetic-referred to as "Cosway style.". Fine.

Margaret of Valois 1553-1615 was a French Princess of the Valois dynasty who became Queen Consort of Navarre and later also of France. By her marriage to Henry III of Navarre later Henry IV of France she was Queen of Navarre and then France at her husband's 1589 accession to the latter throne. Their marriage was annulled in 1599 by decision of the Pope. She was the daughter of King Henry II of France and Catherine de' Medici and the sister of Kings Francis II Charles IX and Henry III. Her marriage which was to celebrate the reconciliation of Catholics and Huguenots was tarnished by the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre and the resumption of the religious troubles which ensued. In the conflict between Henry III and the Malcontents she took the side of Francis Duke of Anjou her younger brother and this caused a deep aversion of the King against her. As Queen of Navarre she also played a pacifying role in the stormy relations between her husband and the French Monarchy. Shuttled back and forth between the two courts she endeavored to lead a happy conjugal life but her sterility and the political tensions inherent in the French Wars of Religion caused the end of her marriage. Mistreated by a brother quick to take offence and rejected by a fickle and opportunistic husband she chose the path of opposition in 1585. She took the side of the Catholic League and was forced to live in Auvergne in an exile which lasted twenty years. London and New York: Harper & Brothers, 1907 unknown books
