1840136220Norwich: printed by Bacon Kinnebrook and Bacon 1840. Presentation copy from the author First edition presentation copy inscribed by the author on the half-title "Mrs Howlett from her affectionate friend MAB". We can trace ten copies in institutions worldwide just one of those a presentation copy inscribed from the author's father see below. The little-known British poet Mary Ann Bacon fl. 1839-1870 d. 1875 was born into a family of writers editors and publishers. Her father was Richard Mackenzie Bacon 1776-1844 the proprietor of the Whig Norwich Mercury a leading provincial organ of liberal opinion. He was later joined in this venture by W. Kinnebrook and David Kinnebrook and his son Richard Noverre Bacon 1798-1884 - hence the imprint of the present title. A contributor to a vast array of publications particularly those with a focus on music Richard Mackenzie Bacon "wrote most of the usually unsigned pieces along with his daughters Louisa and Mary Ann. The latter like her father also contributed to the New Monthly Magazine he on music and she on French literature" entry in the Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism in Great Britain and Ireland p. 33. In later years the Mercury ran advertisements for his printing machine. Mary Ann's sister Louisa 1800-1885 later Louisa Barwell became a highly regarded musician and educational writer. Another sister Jane was a mezzo-soprano who studied in London and Paris. On her death in 1875 the Norfolk Annals remembered that Mary Ann "possessed varied accomplishments and poetical talent. Early in life she assisted her father by translating and writing several valuable articles for the 'Musical Review'; and she was associated with Mr. Owen Jones in the production of some volumes of combined art and poetry which attracted much attention at the time of their appearance. Miss Bacon was particularly happy in her metrical translations of German French and Italian songs and the books of the Norwich Festivals for many years attested her ready talent in giving the spirit of those languages when combined with music. She contributed many fugitive verses and serial tales in prose to the 'People's Journal' and other periodicals and magazines". She was also the author of several separately published works including Flowers and their Kind 1848 Fruits from the Garden 1850 and Winged Thoughts 1851. The Legend of St. Bernard a poem recounting the life of the 11th-century Italian monk Saint Bernard of Menthon has often been wrongly attributed or its author simply left anonymous. Library Hub and Library Hub trace ten copies. The four in the UK list no author: British Library Oxford National Trust Libraries at Sherringham Norfolk and National Library of Scotland. The other six are located in North America: the Library of Congress lists no author Cornell identifies the writer as Thomas Noon Talfourd 1795-1854 and the UCLA University of California and UC Davis Libraries Shields Library copies are catalogued under "M. A. Bacon" identified as Mary Ann with the note "Author from Bibliotheca Norfolciensis". The final copy at Stanford is firmly attributed to Mary Ann being inscribed thus: "Presented to J.S. Muskete Esq. as a slight token of long continued respect by the father of the authoress R.M. Bacon illegible Feb 24 1842". Cambridge University Library has a single-volume collection of her verses and translations in manuscript the works within variously dated between 1839 and 1870. The recipient of the present copy remains largely anonymous though the genealogy of the Bacon family suggests that they and the Howlett family may later have become linked through marriage. One record notes the marriage of a James Taylor of Hindolveston Norfolk a short distance north-west of Norwich to a Mary Ann Bacon b. 1823. Their son Thomas Bacon-Taylor married Frances Howlett Yaxham. The Mrs Howlett to whom this was gifted may have been an earlier relation. Octavo 226 x 140 mm.

Binding tight and solid. Francis Bacon presents a paradox. He is celebrated by many as the earliest thinker to grasp the implication of the scientific method. Bacon nevertheless rejected the most celebrated scientific discoveries of his own time and opposed the Copernican system with particular severity. Harvey the discoverer of the circulation of the blood remarked that Bacon wrote science more like a Lord Chancellor than a scientist. Bacon however persistently attacked scholasticism for he wished to deliver the world from Aristotelianism and did much with his persuasive writing to substitute for it the inductive method. The De Augmentis Scientiarum is an expansion of Bacon's earlier work The Advancement of Learning first published in 1605. It was part of a tremendous project The Great Renewal which was left far from complete. In the preface Bacon wrote I have propounded my opinion naked and unarmed not seeking preoccupate the liberty of mens judgment by confutations. The New Atlantis written in 1627 is a scientific Utopia; the central establishment was the so-called House of Solomon the laboratory of co-operating scientists honored above all other men. In Wisdom of the Ancients he tries to explain ancient fables by ingenious allegories. Bacon polished all his prose sentences until they reached a shining beauty that was almost poetic. His purpose was teaching men to think more wisely and his motto was Discriminate. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . hardcover

1839ST20302-03London: Published for the Proprietor by Charles Tilt 1839-40. FIRST EDITION. 198 x 122 mm. 7 1/2 x 4 7/8". Two volumes. <br/> Extremely pleasing contemporary crimson pebble-grain morocco covers with a double gilt rule surrounding a large scrolling central frame raised bands spine gilt in compartments with elaborate small tools radiating from floral centerpieces turn-ins gilt patterned endpapers all edges gilt. WITH A TOTAL OF 36 ENGRAVED PLATES 18 in each volume by William and Edward Finden and others as called for after sketches by Bacon and Captain Meadows Taylor. Joints just a bit rubbed at head and tail two small scratches to one cover corners with just a whisper of wear occasional faint offsetting from plates the faintest foxing or stains to a very few plates a bit of thumbing otherwise beautiful copies with only the most trivial of imperfections.<br/> <br/> These are handsomely bound and extraordinarily well-preserved copies of the final two volumes of a series inspired by the author's time on the Indian subcontinent. The son of a noted sculptor Thomas Bacon 1813-92 was a talented artist whose service in the Bengal Horse Artillery furnished him with endless fascinating and "exotic" subjects for his sketches and drawings. In 1837 he published "First Impressions and studies from nature in Hindostan" which found an appreciative audience at a time when illustrated travelogues were much in vogue. He produced illustrations for Wilson's "Oriental Portfolio" and for the present "Oriental Annual" which had brought stories and views of the Far East to the British public beginning in 1834. In the 1839 edition Bacon and his very able engravers the Finden brothers present dramatic scenes of the seas around Tenerife and of the peaks of the Himalayas along with wonderfully detailed depictions of "monumental architecture" including temples tombs and military installations. For the 1840 volume Bacon collaborated with his friend Captain Philip Meadows Taylor 1808-76 a longtime British administrator with extensive knowledge of the region. There is more focus on cities in this volume and the authors recount both legends and historical facts to set the scene. The plates include a portrait of the emperor of Delhi but focus on city views and fine architecture. Produced when William 1787-1852 and Edward 1791-1857 Finden were in an extended period at the top of their craft the plates here are characterized by the great delicacy of detail sophisticated gradation of light and rich texture of surface for which they were known. While volumes from this periodical series appear on the market regularly they are rarely so finely bound and in such remarkable condition as the present pair.
