Spine and corners bound in leather, with marbled paper covered boards. Cracks at both hinges. Previous owner's name inside. Foxing to pages. 4 1/2"w x 6 3/4"h. 340 pages. "Washington Irving, an author, biographer, historian, and diplomat, completed his first major work, a satire of contemporary local history and politics entitled A History of New-York from the Beginning of the World to the End of the Dutch Dynasty, by Diedrich Knickerbocker in 1809. Prior to its publication, Irving started a promotional hoax (not unlike some modern-day publicity stunts?) by placing fake missing persons advertisements in local newspapers asking for help in locating Diedrich Knickerbocker. As a continuation of the hoax, Irving also published a notice purported to be written by the proprietor of the hotel where Knickbocker was staying, in which he threatened to publish a manuscript 'left behind' by Knickerbocker if the hotel bill was not paid. From 'The Author?s Apology': The main object of my work, in fact, had a bearing wide from the sober aim of history, but one which, I trust, will meet with some indulgence from poetic minds. It was to embody the traditions of our city in an amusing form; to illustrate its local humors, customs and peculiarities; to clothe home scenes and places and familiar names with those imaginative and whimsical associations so seldom met with in our new country, but which live like charms and spells about the cities of the old world, binding the heart of the native inhabitant to his home."

Four volumes, complete. First and only edition of this groundbreaking work in the field of connoisseurship and collecting, written by a famous forger. Using numerous specific examples (all of which are forgeries by his own hand), Feuillet de Conches demonstrates how manuscripts and original artworks can be used by modern scholars. The first volume is devoted to the ancient world. The first half of the second volume is devoted to Chinese materials. The remaining two and a half volumes focus on the modern western world. There are extensive sections on contemporary collectors (Nodier, Viollet le Duc, etc.), Holbein, Racine, Henri de Navarre, Montaigne, illustrated books, compilations of prints, and much more. Over 2400 pages in all, with numerous facsimiles of (fake) autograph documents. Printed on fine wove paper. Large 8vo. Attractively bound in contemporary quarter calf and decorated boards, all edges marbled. Light wear to extremities of bindings. Internally bright and fine. An attractive and rare set: the last volume is notoriously scarce.
