""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 feelings 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 was not content to translate 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 whereas the original comprised 28 volumes which Prévost reduced to 8 systematically cutting the verbosity and characteristic length of Richardson.

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
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
1742866K20London: C. Rivington; S. Richardson 1742. Leather. Very Good. 6.5" by 4". None. A scarce early set of this influential eighteenth century novel in contemporary calf. Volumes one is the second edition volume two the fourth edition volume three is the first edition and volume four the second edition. Volume three catchword misprinted A for As as called for. Scarce in any early edition. Endpapers and blanks renewed to volumes one and three. As stated on the title pages of volumes one and two they had intended to be a complete story within themselves. However due to the instant success of the works going through five editions in its first year and prompting the release of many counterfeit sequels imitators and parodies Richardson chose to write two more volumes. 'Pamela' or 'Virtue Rewarded' tells of a beautiful 15 year old Pamela working as a maidservant under inappropriate master Mr B. Though it was a bestseller when published it's received criticism over time for it's seeming glorification of abuse. It's been referenced widely in literature including in 'Jane Eyre' and 'The Haunting of Hill House'. First published in 1740 this is considered to be one of the first true English novels. It was immensely popular and widely read however Richardson did receive criticism for its contents for its perceived licentiousness and disregard for class barriers. 'Pamela' is notable for its early commentary on domestic violence and the social issues of the Georgian era told through the eyes of the naive Pamela in her letters to her parents. Rebacked with contemporary calf boards preserved. Externally smart with marks to the boards and bumping to the extremities. Endpapers and blanks renewed to volumes one and three. Contemporary ink inscriptions to paste downs and preliminaries of all volumes. Internally firmly bound. Loss to extremity of leaf B slightly affecting the text. Chipping to the occasional other leaf not affecting the text. Very Good C. Rivington; S. Richardson hardcover

174436015à Amsterdam: Aux dépens de la Compagnie 1744. Fine. 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
