179015580London: Thomas Richardson & Sons 1790. 585 by 326mm. 23 by 12.75 inches. Manuscript plan ink with wash colour manuscript inscription to verso minor dust soiling to corners tear to upper portion of map skilfully repaired. This elusive plan of Queens Leaze in Berkshire is an example of one of the many surveys conducted in the eighteenth century in order to record the extent and use of crown lands. King George III had a passion for geography amassing a personal collection of over 50000 maps which are now in the keeping of the British Library. Under his reign the mapping industry saw great progression in the instruments and principles used by cartographers giving rise to more accurate geographical representations as expertly exhibited by the Ordnance Survey which began the year after this plan was produced. There is evidence that the surveyor of Queens Leaze Thomas Richardson had previously worked on the king's cartographical projects with his plan of Richmond completed "under the direction of Peter Burrell Esq. His Majesty's Surveyor General". The Manor of Bray identified as the land to the right of this plan was one of the original hundreds of Berkshire recorded in the Domesday book where the land is said to have been worth 18 hides. It remained property of the crown until 1821 when it was sold at auction for £6800 and divided into 16 smaller plots. On the left side of the plan the estate of the wonderfully-named Peniston Portlock Powney MP is shown. The Powney family owned Ives Place here the "Manor of Ives" during the eighteenth century but it had previously passed through many hands and played host to a variety of residents including Anne of Cleaves. Separating the Manor of Bray and the Manor of Ives is Queens Leaze a long and narrow tract of ground surrounded by a broad deep ditch although neither this plan nor any written record suggests how the land was used. Kerry does note that the fees levied on the local parishoners contributed towards the maintenance of the Church in Bray but there is no evidence of either church or parishoners on the plan. These simple surveys were used to keep track of the crown lands and the manuscript title to the verso suggests that at some point it may have been compiled into a collection along with other such plans.

Il a inventé ce roman où l'art consiste à négliger tous les préceptes de l'art où l'accumulation de détails étrangers à l'action où la répétition des mêmes scènes et des mêmes sentiments produisent plus d'effet que la précision le goût la justesse et l'ordre n'en ont jamais produit"" Richardson was the inventor of bourgeois tragedy . He invented this novel where art consists in neglecting all the precepts of art where the accumulation of details foreign to the action where the repetition of the same scenes and the same sentiments produce more effect than precision taste accuracy and order have ever produced. AUGUSTIN FILON Histoire de la littérature anglaise : depuis ses origines jusqu'à nos jours Paris Hachette 1883. Abbé Prévost did not content himself with translating Richardson's novel he arranged and reworked it; not liking the ending he probably rewrote it and it is this version that circulated throughout Europe and made Richardson's reputation while the original comprised 28 volumes that Prévost reduced to 8 systematically cutting the verbosity and characteristic prolixity of Richardson.

A few leaves somewhat browned the first 80 leaves of vol. 2 somewhat soiled at lower margin. </p><p><strong>Notes:</strong> Jonathan Richardson's <em>Traité de la peinture et de la sculpture</em> published in Amsterdam in 1728 by Herman Uytwerf is a major work of 18th-century art theory translated into French from Richardson's earlier English writings and revised by the author himself. In three parts often bound in two volumes it reflects the collaboration between Jonathan Richardson the Elder 1665–1745 a prominent English portraitist and theorist and his son Jonathan Richardson the Younger 1694–1771 with contributions from the Dutch scholars Antoine Rutgers and Lambert Ten Kate. The 'Traité' stands out as a foundational text in art theory combining practical advice critical methodology and first-hand observation all underpinned by a vision of art as a noble and communicative pursuit. Its influence extended to later theorists and artists cementing Richardson's legacy in the history of Western art discourse. </p> Herman Uytwerf hardcover

Shelved above WWI. Samuel Richardson 1689 - 1761 was an English writer and printer known for his epistolary novels. He printed almost 500 works including journals and magazines working periodically with the London bookseller Andrew Millar. Richardson had been apprenticed to a printer whose daughter he eventually married. He lost her along with five sons but remarried and had four daughters who reached adulthood but had no male heirs to continue the print shop. As it ran down he wrote his first novel at the age of 51 and joined the admired authors of his day. via Wikipedia<br> <br /> <br> <br /> Much like the Bertrams in Mansfield Park Jane Austen and her siblings were fond of putting on "theatricals" at home for their friends and neighbors. In 1793 at the age of eighteen Jane Austen began writing and shortly afterwards abandoned a dramatic adaptation of this work entitled Sir Charles Grandison or the happy Man a comedy in 6 acts. She completed it in 1800. 1360646. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. T. Longman; T. Johnson; et. al hardcover

Aux dépens de la Compagnie à Amsterdam 1744 9.50 x 16.20 cm relié New edition illustrated with 32 figures by Punt and a title vignette repeated on all 4 volumes. Title pages in red and black. This appears to be the first edition to be fully illustrated as previous editions presented only four frontispieces however it should be noted that the figures bear the date 1742. The mention of third edition refers only to Dutch editions and is therefore not significant. Translation by Abbé Prévost and Aubert de la Chesnaye des Bois. Contemporary full brown sheep binding. Decorated spine with raised bands. Red morocco title and volume labels. Head of volume I split at head. A lack at head of volume II. A lack to the upper joint at foot of volume I. Tailpiece partly missing on volume III. Corners slightly bumped. Rubbing. Scattered foxing. Pamela was a veritable sensation in the literary world and achieved resounding success throughout Europe. Its principal merit is undoubtedly having given birth not only to the epistolary novel Rousseau but to Fielding who produced two satirical sequels: The Adventures of Joseph Andrews and Tom Jones. We know that Diderot was unstinting in his praise of this novel. Pamela is a novel of manners and a sentimental novel whose impact on 18th-century literature is indelible and enduring. It is often considered the first bourgeois novel of manners and this shift of the action's setting from aristocracy to bourgeoisie had an enormous impact. Aux dépens de la Compagnie hardcover
