193520818London: Victor Gollancz Ltd. Near Fine in Very Good dj. 1935. First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . minimal wear to book; jacket a bit soiled but otherwise unworn. Translation and adaptation of a German play a drawing-room comedy about some French aristocrats. Presented in London at the Ambassadors Theatre in 1935 it was notable as the first big success of Vivien Leigh who appeared in the role of Henriette Duquesnoy garnering excellent notices and much subsequent press attention. The latter was doubtlessly tied in with the promotional efforts of film producer Alexander Korda who signed her to a contract after seeing her performance on opening night having failed to discern her potential at an earlier meeting. Reportedly and even more fatefully it was in this play that she was first seen by Laurence Olivier later to become her lover and then husband. . Victor Gollancz Ltd hardcover books

160033612Antwerp: By Daniel Vervliet 1600. Small 4to 21 cm; 8.25". 18 ff. 745 1 pp. 13 ff. <br><br>The second edition of the Roman Catholic new Testament in English. The translation is the work of a number of English Catholic priests but principally of Gregory Martin who fled to France in 1568 because of persecution in their native land and under the direction of Dr. later Cardinal William Allen founded the English College at Douai. The college moved for a short time to Rheims but subsequently returned as the title-page here attests.<br>Â Â Â Â The first edition of this translation was issued at Rheims in 1582 in over-sanguine hopes that its sale would be successful enough to underwrite the cost of a prompt production of the Old Testament. The two-volume O.T. did not appear however until 1609/1610.<br>Â Â Â Â The second edition of the Rheims N.T. is a revision of the first not merely a reprinting of it and contains a "Table of Heretical Corruptions" not found in the 1582 printing and a new preface. In an era of noticeable decline in the art of printing this Testament enjoys far better than average typography. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Darlow & Moule 198; Herbert 258; STC 2989; ESTC S102510. Late 17th- early 18th-century English calf with concentric blind panels on covers in contrasting tones of brown and tan all edges deep red; covers with scrapes and bumps rebacked with hinges inside strengthened new endpapers with 1906 owner's inscription on front free one. Title-page dust-soiled and torn in upper margin with some loss of decorative border page skillfully remargined with blank paper. Some foxing and age-soiling in early leaves; this similarly at rear starting around p. 640 and most notable in Tables with also some dust-soiling and with light waterstaining across a good number of upper outer corners.
