1757027964London: Printed and Sold By Luke Hinde 1757. Octavo. vi 236 pages. The remarkable story of an English boy raised in a Shepherd's home by a Quaker father who died when he was 12 leaving his mother to manage the farm with its sheep. The boy had an aversion to the Quakers because of their strict religious ways. He became converted to the Quaker faith at age 16 and became a well known preacher. He visited America to expand the faith among the Friends from Virginia to New York. He spent two years in the early 18th century preaching and debating with Baptists Episcopalians and others. He jointed with William Penn as they told the Indians about God the great Father. When asked about taxes that might be used to support the military he argued that in America where already there was more freedom than in England there was more of an obligation to avoid cooperating with anything that involved making war. The names John Richardson and Nathaniel Richardson are on the front pastedown and typical of late 18th century writing but after the death of the author. The front board is nearly detached.

1782263934London: J. Stockale; R. Faulder 1782. First Edition. Half Leather. Very Good binding. Ritson's first book in which he attacks Thomas Warton's History of English Poetry in such vitriolic tones -- Warton is a preternder a cheater and a liar -- as to cause quite a contretemps in late 18th century English literary circles. One assumes this actually pleased Ritson as he went on the next year to attack Samuel Johnson and George Steevens. Eventually Ritson went complete mad barricading himself in his rooms at Gray's Inn and setting fire to a pile of manuscripts. In an attractive later binding in red half-goat over marbled board with raised bands. We assume the binder was charged with binding a group of different books to a uniform size -- the title page is trimmed and mounted and all the other leaves are folded neatly to fit the bottom edge and then the leading edge over it. Rather astonishing actually. Very Good binding. J. Stockale; R. Faulder unknown books

17971002815Cambridge: J. Burges Printer to the University 1797. First editions of these historical Shakespeare studies by James Plumptre 1771-1832 a young playwright and fellow at Clare Hall Cambridge later a clergyman. Plumptre argues through an elaborate series of parallels that the character of Gertrude in Hamlet is intended as a critique of Mary Queen of Scots who like Gertrude remarried hastily under a cloud. Plumptre characterizes Hamlet as an effort by Shakespeare to secure the approval of Elizabeth I "to flatter his mistress by adding his drop to the flood of calumny poured out against her rival." The final page of the Appendix advertises Plumptre's first two plays The Coventry Act: A Comedy 1793 and Osway: A Tragedy 1795 as well as a forthcoming two-part drama entitled Mary Queen of Scots which was apparently never published. Bound in a single volume these presentation copies of Observations of Hamlet and its Appendix are both inscribed to literary scholar William Richardson 1743-1814 at the University of Glasgow. Richardson's Philosophical Analysis and Illustration of Some of Shakespeare's Remarkable Characters appeared in 1774 and featured a chapter on Hamlet. These Plumptre essays are uncommon. I have been unable to locate an extant presentation copy of either work and neither title has appeared at auction since 1973. A near-fine pair of presentation copies handsomely bound in period style by Philip Dusel. Two octavo volumes bound in one measuring 8 x 5 inches: 6 44; 2 85 1. Recent full polished calf boards tooled in blind with a floral border spine decoratively tooled in gilt red morocco spine label lettered in gilt. Bound without half-title for Appendix. Inscribed by Plumptre to William Richardson on half-title of Observations and title of Appendix. Publisher's advertisement on final page of Appendix. J. Burges, Printer to the University unknown books
1774ME1081London:: Printed and Sold at No. 76 Fleet-Street 1774. 1774. 4to. iv xv 1 68 pp. Original full calf gilt spine; neatly rebacked to style preserving original endsheets. Inscribed by an early owner "This Book belonging to Monsieur Pierre Monneron." Extremely rare. This is the first edition in English of the ghazals of Hafez translated by one of the leading Persian orientalists of his day John Richardson FAS of Wadham College Oxford and famous for his seminal work written in conjunction with Sir William Jones the work being A Dictionary Persian Arabic and English 1777. / Hafez was previously unknown to the western world until Count Karl Emerich Reviczky von Revisnye 1737-1793 the Hungarian Orientalist and bibliophile 'discovered' him and brought his poetic classic to Europe with this Vienna printing. The work features an extensive text on Hafez and a translation of selected ghazals . Reviczky von Revisnye also issued in 1784 1794 a catalogue of his Greek and Latin library using the pseudonym of "Periergus Deltophilus". In the prefatory essay for that volume he shows an interest in the printing of Nicolas Jenson Aldus Manutius and the Estiennes. / Hafez was born in Shiraz Persia and lived approximately from 1325/26–1389/1390. He is considered a mystic and poet. His life and poems are the subject of much analysis commentary and interpretation influencing post-fourteenth century Persian writing more than any other author. FULL TITLE: A Specimen of Persian Poetry; or Odes of Hafez With an English Translation and Paraphrase. Chiefly from the Specimen Poeseos Persicae of Baron Revizky Envoy from the Emperor of Germany to the Court of Poland.
