184730338<p>quarto two page illustrated printed promotional circular letter describing and illustrating William H. Richardson's Patent Walking Cane Umbrellas formerly folded very good clean condition.</p><p>The printed letter from Richardson lithographed on the first page of the circular describes and promotes Richardson's umbrellas particularly his "Patent Walking Cane Umbrella." Richardson describes his manufactory which ran on steam power enabling him to make 1200 umbrellas a day or "between 7 and 8000 umbrellas per week". This enabled him to keep his costs low and ensure a low price for prospective purchasers. Richardson claimed his was "the only manufacturer in the United States using steam I have no fear that any can or will undersell me…" The circular states that umbrellas and parasols were 25 cents each. The illustration instructs the potential customer how to use the patent walking cane umbrella.</p>

ONE OF 40 COPIES PRINTED. 235 x 142 mm. 9 1/4 x 5 3/4". iii-xi 1 308 pp. lacking the first of the two title pages at front. <br/> In a very nice replica binding of honey-brown sheepskin over marbled boards raised bands ruled in gilt gilt titling. Front free endpaper INSCRIBED IN INK BY CURRER: With Miss Currer's Compliments"; small ownership perforation of the Bradford Free Library on title page and p. 99; two small ink stamps on p. 59 and 99. Front free endpaper with thinned area where indication of earlier ownership likely appeared. The boards just very lightly scuffed though probably to provide a feeling of authenticity otherwise only trivial imperfections. Apart from the signs of library ownership a very fine copy the text showing virtually no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is a presentation copy of the first library catalogue of Frances Mary Richardson Currer an Englishwoman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library . . . in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall in North Yorkshire was surpassed only by three collections those of Earl Spencer and the dukes of Devonshire and Buckingham. According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." With just 40 copies printed this first printing there was a 1933 second edition is very rarely seen on the market. Robert Triphook unknown
1842ST16673London: Richard Bentley 1842. FIRST EDITION. 195 x 115 mm. 7 3/4 x 4 5/8". Three volumes. <br/> Contemporary half calf over brown marbled boards raised bands with gilt tooling spine panels blind-stamped in a scolloped pattern red morocco label marbled endpapers and edges. Front pastedown with the bookplate of the celebrated book-collector Frances Mary Richardson Currer of Eshton Hall in each volume. Provenance: Dibdin "Reminiscences of a Literary Life" 1836 pp. 949–57; De Ricci "English Collectors of Books and Manuscripts" 1930 pp. 141-43. Extremities a bit rubbed boards lightly chafed occasional minor marginal stains or light patches of foxing but a pleasing copy generally clean and fresh in sturdy original bindings with no significant condition issues.<br/> <br/> This novel of the British navy during the Jacobite Rebellion comes from the library of a woman described by De Ricci as "England’s earliest female bibliophile" and hailed by Dibdin as "the head of all female collectors in Europe." An only child Frances Mary Richardson Currer 1785-1861 inherited considerable assets from both her father's and her mother's families: her relative Dorothy Richardson wrote in 1815 "She is in possession of both the Richardson and Currer estates and inherits all the taste of the former family having collected a very large and valuable library and also possessing a fine collection of prints shells and fossils in addition to what were collected by her great grandfather and great-uncle." Dibdin noted that her library at Eshton Hall was "surpassed only by those of Earl Spencer the duke of Devonshire and the duke of Buckingham." According to DNB "the library had substantial holdings in natural science topography antiquities and history together with a collection of the classics. There were rarities some early printed books a collection of Bibles and a fine gathering of illustrated books. . . . Dibdin first estimated the number of volumes at 15000 and later 18000. In 1852 Sir J. B. Burke put the number at 20000." Although best known for his Leatherstocking Tales set on the early American frontier James Fenimore Cooper 1789-1851 had originally intended a career in the navy and spent several years at sea before an inheritance from his father allowed him to pursue a literary career. Deemed by Day "an excellent naval novel" the text here is a poignant tale of conflicting loyalties and the importance of friendship seen through the eyes of the titular "Two Admirals" lifelong friends supporting opposing political forces in the contest over the Stuart succession to throne of Britain.
