179433458London: for A. Law W. Millar and R. Martin 1794. 4 volumes. "A New Translation" and very early edition "Adorned with a new set of copperplates neatly engraved" being a total of 16 fine plates. Small 8vo bound in three-quarter polished calf over cloth covered boards the spines with raised band gilt lettering and tooling marbled endpapers. ix 261; vi 212; vi 240; vi 227pp. A handsome little set of this literary classic all very sound and sturdy 3 of the lettering labels off but still an attractive set. A HANDSOME AND WELL PRESERVED SET OF THIS 18TH CENTURY CLASSIC offered here in the best translation by Mr. Smollett who was also renown for his translation of DON QUIXOTE and for his own masterful works of literature and travel.<br> Gil Blas is related to Le Sage's other well known play Turcaret. In both works Le Sage uses such things as witty valets in the service of thieving masters women of questionable morals cuckolded yet happy husbands gourmands ridiculous poets false savants and dangerously ignorant doctors to make his point. Each class and each occupation becomes an archetype. The work is universal while also being decidedly French.<br> It is thanks to Smollett that Gil Blas had such an impact on the English-speaking nations. The work was referred to by authors such as Jonathan Swift Oliver Wendell Holmes Wilkie Collins and Nathaniel Hawthorne. It is considered a primary model to Twain for 'The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' and Charles Dickens relates the story of Gil Blas to Steerforth and Traddles in David Copperfield. for A. Law, W.

The main title in vol. 1 erroneously mentions 650 plates. See full index of plates below.</p><p>An exceptionally rare complete copy of Alain Manesson Mallet's "Description of the World". This remarkable work here in the second edition of the German translation provides the reader with a guide to countless places in the world divided in four parts: Africa America Asia and Europe. This is preceded by an introduction to cosmography and geography. The illustrations show maps cities people and particularities of the places that are described. Some interesting examples of illustrations are a portrait of Inca Emperor Atabalipa the culture of Japan and China three plates showing West Indies plantations the Native American Powhatan chief and village of Pomejok two Samogitians a map of the Davis Strait the Dalai lama several maps of India and Arabia the Nile with crocodiles and much much more.<br />The first edition appeared in Paris in 1683 as <em>Description de l'univers</em> and soon after the hundreds of copper plates for the illustrations were transferred to Jan David Zunner in Frankfurt who published the first edition of the German translation in 1684 with German text engraved in the plates. He then published the second French edition in 1685 with the German text still in the plates. The second German edition that we offer here was also printed in Frankfurt but 34 years later by Anton Heinscheidt for Johann Adam Jung. They used the same plates again and added portraits of the rulers of that time. By then the plates had become quite worn so they were re-engraved by at least three German artists: Vogel W.C. Drucker and Eggelhoff. Still the plates have visible wear and the printing was not done very well in some cases due to unclear strikes and plates that were not cleaned properly see pictures.<br />This edition has many more plates than the first German and second French editions printed at Frankfurt see VD17 39:129237P; 3:306499P. We traced no definitive reference for the total amount of plates this edition should have but we count 645 seemingly without any missing. Copies with the amount of plates as the one we offer here are very seldomly found. Of the multiple copies that are recorded at auction all have less than 645 plates. The nearest being a copy sold in 1991 by Sotheby's with 613 plates.</p><p><strong>Index of plates in this copy:</strong></p><p>Vol. 1: 112 numbered plates 1 frontispiece 1 portrait 1 87B = 115</p><p>Vol. 2: 133 numbered plates 1 frontispiece 3 portraits = 137</p><p>Vol. 3: 101 numbered plates 1 frontispiece 3 unnumbered plates = 105</p><p>Vol. 4: 130 numbered plates 1 frontispiece 8 portraits = 139</p><p>Vol. 5: 142 numbered plates 1 frontispiece 5 portraits 1 unnumbered plate = 149</p><p><strong>Condition: </strong>Volume 2: minor worming in blank corners of first few pages.
