pp. (13), 147. Thin 8vo. Handsome original full cloth binding, lettered in gold and decorated in blind, executed by Westleys & Clark, London - with their small ticket on the rear paste down. Mildly XLib. James Orchard Halliwell (1820-1889) was a biographer of Shakespeare, book collector, antiquarian, and prodigal scholar. In spite of his intelligence and industry, Halliwell's life was dogged with controversy on both personal and professional fronts. His marriage to the daughter of Sir Thomas Phillips did not meet with Phillips' approval, and the young couple was disinherited and placed in financial st aits. He was later investigated for book theft from the library of Trinity College, Cambridge, regarding several volumes later sold to the British Museum, but no charges were ever filed and Halliwell was able to clear his name. Later disputes arose over Halliwell's views concerning the authenticity of various Shakespeareian works. His quarrel with the authorities at Stratford-on-Avon led to his decision not to bequeath his important personal Shakespeare collection to their library; instead, it was sold to a buyer in the United States upon Halliwell's death.

pp. vi, 245. Small 8vo. 160 mm. Paper age toned. Contemporary (likely original) full leather binding. Front board almost detached. Early manuscript ownership of H. Laight. Henry Mackenzie (1745-1831) a Scottish novelist and miscellaneous writer, known as the 'Addison of the North.' Mackenzie had attempted to interest publishers in what would become his first and most famous work, 'The Man of Feeling' for several years, but they would not accept it, even as a gift. Finally, Mackenzie published it anonymously in 1771, and it became instantly successful. His "Man of Feeling" is a weak creature, dominated by a futile benevolence, who goes up to London and falls into the hands of people who exploit his kind innocence. In contrast to the masculine ideals of the Age of Reason, it inaugurated a vogue for a new kind of hero - a sensitive male. The book looks forward to the kind of Romantic- era heroes who were unashamed to weep. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! VERIA 2
