1838ST16098aOxford: Printed at the University Press by Samuel Collingwood and Co 1838. 137 x 79 mm. 5 1/2 x 3 1/4". 528 leaves. <br/> VERY PRETTY NAVY BLUE CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT covers with gilt-rule border intricate cornerpieces of small floral and botanical tools raised bands spine compartments very densely gilt with floral tools and stippling gilt titling turn-ins with gilt floral cornerpieces millefleurs silk fabric endleaves all edges gilt. Front flyleaf with ink ownership inscription of Anne Robinson dated 1839; front flyleaves with ink annotations and Bible verses in three different 19th century hands laid-in note giving the chain of ownership in Anne Robinson's family for the next century. ◆Half a dozen leaves with small light brown spot margins trimmed a bit close but no loss but A VERY FINE COPY clean and fresh internally IN A SPARKLING BINDING.<br/> <br/> This charmingly bound little volume was the perfect book of Scripture for a Victorian lady and was cherished by generations of her family. The very feminine floral binding suggests that it was bound as a gift for Anne Robinson who used it very gently for her personal devotions--and no doubt as an attractive accessory to her Sunday church ensemble. The annotation of favorite passages offers insight into the owner's spiritual life and the inlaid handwritten "chain of title" is testament to our volume's status as family heirloom. Robinson and her successors clearly treasured it as it is little changed from the day it left the bindery. The condition is notably splendid here.

Isolated gatherings with variable browning a small handful rather browned one leaf in first volume with inexpert early repair of four-inch tear letters of four words partly obscured or displaced and the text and facing page somewhat discolored a few additional trivial imperfections internally but the text generally quite fresh and clean. One joint with five small wormholes a few hardly noticeable shallow scratches to covers a hint of wear to extremities but THE LOVELY BINDINGS IN FINE CONDITION with lustrous leather and gilt with only minor wear and with their very considerable original visual appeal entirely intact.<br/> <br/> This history of "England's Revolutions" begins with the invasion of the Saxons and covers the struggles for the throne of England through the Plantagenets Tudors and Stuarts up to the Restoration and the reign of James II. The learned Jesuit historian Pierre Joseph d'Orléans 1641-98 was described by Voltaire as the first historian to specialize in revolutions--he was also the author of a history of revolutions in Spain an account of the Tartar conquerors of China and a subsequent study of the English Civil War covering the years 1603-90 in depth. The present work was favorably received on both sides of the Channel: the Earl of Chatham commended it in his letters and du Fresnoy described it as a "history written with eloquence and judgment" and praised its equal treatment of Catholics and Protestants. When the present set appeared in a George Bayntun catalogue the bindings were described as "very handsome" and "almost identical to the set of Bertrand De Moleville's 'Histoire de la Révolution de France' 1801-1803 bound by Bozerian" and also from the library of Baron de Mackau 1832-1918 a member of the Chamber of Deputies for 42 years and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. The volumes are unusual in their combination of calf boards with contrasting morocco spines and their gilt decoration is particularly lovely. François Bozerian generally called "Bozerian le jeune" was active in Paris from the turn of the 19th century until 1818 and for much of that time he worked with his elder brother Jean-Claude. The Bozerian binderies produced many fine books praised today especially for their technical achievement and elegance of design. The first edition of this work is surprisingly rare in the marketplace: RBH and ABPC record only one other copy at auction since at least 1975. Chez Claude Barbin unknown
