18341003797London: William Pickering 1834. First Panizzi edition of Ariosto's Orlando Furioso issued in four volumes by William Pickering in 1834 from the celebrated library of Frances Mary Richardson Currer. Set during the Saracen invasion of France Orlando Furioso 1516-1532 follows the adventures of Charlemagne's high-strung knight Orlando who goes mad for love. Ariosto's comic epic was hugely influential going on to inspire works as various as The Faerie Queene Much Ado About Nothing Don Quixote and Don Juan. Pickering issued this set as a companion to Panizzi's 1830 edition of Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato. It was Pickering's practice to keep his books in sheets and bind them over time: the morocco-grain cloth used on this set likely dates from slightly later in the nineteenth century. This copy of Orlando Furioso contains the bookplates and purchaser's note of Yorkshire coal heiress Frances Mary Richardson Currer 1785-1861 who built a celebrated library of some 20000 volumes. Contemporaries praised Currer's scholarship and taste as well as the rigorous organization and "choice condition" of her books. The bibliographer Thomas Frognall Dibdin called her a "book-genius" and remarked of her library: "The 'Collections' are nearly perfect." In 1820 and again in 1833 Currer issued a catalogue of her holdings widely viewed as "the model catalogue of a private library" DNB and sent copies to book collectors across England and Europe including members of the newly formed Roxburghe Club quietly asserting her place among them. Also known for her commitment to charitable causes Currer is obliquely noted as a "wealthy lady in the West Riding of Yorkshire" who paid off the debts of a new widower Patrick Brontë; scholars speculate that Charlotte Brontë's unusual pen name Currer Bell is a tribute to Frances Currer. Text in Italian. See Keynes William Pickering Publisher. A near-fine copy in the publisher's cloth with excellent bibliophilic provenance.

175158092à Londres London: Chez Nourse 1751. Fine. Chez Nourse à Londres London 1751 - 1762 10 x 17.20 cm 7 volumes reliés First edition of the French translation by Abbé Prévost together with the rare supplement published in 1762 which contains Diderot's Éloge de Richardson in first edition. The illustration comprises 21 fine figures the first 13 by Eisen and the last 8 by Pasquier. Each volume contains two parts with separate title pages except for the supplement volume which contains in addition to Diderot's essay the parts of the work that had been cut by Prévost. The first complete English edition dates from 1748. Contemporary full marbled brown calf bindings. Smooth spines elegantly decorated. Red morocco title labels and tan morocco volume labels only volume VII of the supplement published in 1761 in uniform binding has a black morocco volume label. Triple gilt fillet frame on boards. A tear worming to head of volume I. A stripped lower edge to volume 1. A small lack to head of volume II. Tailcap of volume V partly missing with upper joint cracked at foot and slight lack of leather. Lower joint of volume VI split at head same for volume VII. Most corners bumped. Despite defects a handsome copy in a quality binding. Clarisse Harlove is the second great novel published by the author after the immense success of Pamela; it is again a sentimental novel whose virtuous heroine finds herself constrained by her family to marry a noble ugly and obese man against her will. She will flee with one Lovelace the very type of elegant villainous and deceitful libertine who desires to constrain her body and soul leading her into social and moral decline but this will be without counting on Clarisse's virtuous qualities. If the novel from a modern perspective suffers from sentimentalism and length it nonetheless remains true that the construction of the plot the dramatic twists and the psychology will durably mark European literature. Diderot will proclaim this in his Éloge de Richardson and numerous authors will claim it or undergo its influence: Rousseau Jane Austen Choderlos de Laclos. The work will enjoy immense success and even if due to its length the novel is little read today it remains one of the most emblematic books of 18th century literature. It should be noted that Diderot's essay in addition to the praise given to Richardson is a true plea for a new realistic literature his thesis joining that which he wrote for the theater.

1822E4804<p><b>First edition very rare. </b> The <i>Address</i> is a revised version of the valedictory lecture given on 31 December 1818 to mark the centenary of the death of William Penn. It gives an explanation of the origins of the Society and then is entirely directed to the career and particularly the principles of William Penn based on 'traditional information' and 'publicly and privately attested facts'. The private information was doubtless supplied by John Penn 1760-1834 founder of the Society who as a surviving grandson of William Penn succeeded his father to the moiety of the last proprietorship of Pennsylvania.<br /></p><p>The Outinian Society was originally founded in 1817 as the Matrimonial Society in response to an anonymous poem called 'Marriage' in the <i>Monthly Magazine</i>. It had the object of promoting marriage and improving the domestic life of married couples. Extending its aims to other schemes of human happiness – to 'the more perfect knowledge of certain less obvious truths and principles of human action' – it soon changed its name to the Outinian Society apparently inspired by a line in Homer. John Penn was its president and editor Jonathan Richardson its secretary and lecturer. The lectures were very popular: <i>Records of the Origin and Proceedings of the Outinian Society</i> 1822 lists well over 1000 names of Auditors who had attended.</p><p>COPAC and OCLC list copies at the British Library Society of Friends and Harvard only.

The anonymous publication of a poem titled "Marriage" in a Monthly Magazine issue during the summer of 1815 inspired Penn to organise The Matrimonial Society which he established in early 1817 and which had for its object an improvement in the domestic life of married persons. It later extended its aims to include other schemes of domestic utility and the society re-named itself the Outinian Society. During the summer of 1818 meetings of the society took place at Penn's house in London's Spring Gardens and later at Stoke Park Buckinghamshire the family home purchased by his father in 1760. Penn who acted as president edited the works of the society for publication. The Second Lecture appeared in 1819 the General Address of the Outinian Lecturer in 1822 Records of the Origin and Proceedings of the Outinian Society in 1822 A Proposal of the Outinian Society in 1823 written by Penn and the Seventh Outinian Lecture in 1823.

"First published as part of the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana 1818-37 it consisted of a great many illustrative quotations drawn from literature but with relatively few and brief definitions . Richardson's approach was based on the notion that quotations alone if sufficient in number could serve to elucidate 'true etymological meaning.' He went far beyond Johnson in collecting quotations beginning at the fourteenth century Johnson went back only to the end of the 16th century . Richardson sought by his vast collection of quotations to justify the preposterous theory of John Horne Tooke that each word had a single immutable meaning. In his own work each word and its derivatives were given one etymology and one meaning. His etymologies were as preposterous as his theories but his dictionary was of great interest to lexicographers because it foreshadowed the historical collections of quotations that were later to form the basis of the Oxford English Dictionary" Landau Dictionaries p. 66. "Richardson was an ardent philologist of the school of Horne Tooke . His principle was to arrive at the original and proper meaning which was inherent in a word from its etymology" see DNB. Based on the "historical principle" of lexicography this work formed the most substantial link between Johnson and the O.E.D. William Pickering unknown
