Demi-vélin à coins. Pièces de titre et de tomaison aux dos. Coiffes légèrement émoussées. Dos un peu frottés. Première traduction française donnée par l'abbé Prévost de ce roman du célèbre littérateur anglais Samuel Richardson qui était initialement imprimeur à Londres. Sans cet imprimeur petit-bourgeois typique de la Cité de Londres le développement du roman anglais et avec lui des romans européens eût sans doute été retardé de plusieurs années. Il en a donné la première formule en montrant les tensions psychologiques et morales chez des êtres dans une situation telle que leurs relations et tout leur psychisme sont le jeu de conflits terribles où s'affrontent les forces sociales et les exigences profondes des individus tant sentimentales que morales et religieuses. Rousseurs et taches éparses. Bon exemplaire. A Amsterdam, 1770. unknown

1852D59641852. Hardcover. Very Good. Original full red morocco ornately stamped in blind and gilt; 8vo; 31 manuscript pages including an illustrated short story landscapes in pencil Havana the Hudson River harbor of St. Thomas Martinique and 3 colored-pencil cartoons of American Indians these seemingly contributed by a child. Just a little scuffed along joints and edges of boards else fine. Likely the work of Horace Richardson the title-page and "publication information" see above states that this unique item was "copied" by him and one of the drawings most of which are clearly by the same artist is initialed "H. R." The book does indeed seem to correspond at least in part with a journey on the Winfield Scott a sidewheel steamer that transported cargo and passengers from San Francisco and Panama during the California Gold Rush -- then sank in December of 1853. The landscapes are nicely accomplished: "Yosemite Falls from Black's Hotel" signed "H.R." "Highland Park Hotel Aiken S.C." "Vineyard Haven" "View from the Window in our Parlor in the Hotel El Telegrafo Havana 1872" "View from my Window at the West Point Hotel Looking up the Hudson 1872" and "Fort de France Martinique from the Sea." Opens with a weird little short story in which the malefactor Joseph Shed spends his entire life stealing stockings even dirty ones punishment be damned. <br/><br/> hardcover

Mackenzie gilt spines in six compartments red and green spine labels all edges speckled red; xxiv4591; xi14771pp. Leather a bit dried and scuffed at extremities uneven dark spotting to spines moderate foxing to early leaves else a Very Good internally quite fresh set of James Fenimore Cooper's travelogue first composed in 1830 while traveling through the United States.<br /> <br /> Provenance: Armorial ex libris of Frances Mary Richardson Currer to both front pastedowns. By the age of thirty Currer 1785-1861 the unmarried sole heir to both the Richardson and Currer estates had amassed one of the most celebrated private libraries of her generation. She was considered the first as well as the greatest female bibliophile in Europe with "a heart as big as St Paul's Dome and as warm as Volcanic lava" Dawson Turner cf. Oxford Dictionary of National Biography.<br /> <br /> As well as collecting in the areas of the natural sciences topography antiquities history classics illustrated and early printed books Currer was also an active and generous patron of many charities and public institutions including the school at Cowan Bridge attended by the Brontë sisters. In fact their lives may have intersected more than once with the imminent bibliophile who is believed to have paid off Patrick Brontë's debts when he was newly widowed. It has also been reasonably surmised that Charlotte Brontë borrowed the name for her pseudonym "Currer Bell."<br /> <br /> BAL 3841; HOWES C750; SABIN 16486. Henry Colburn unknown
