1770906P16London: A. Wilde; J. Brotherstone and Sewell C. Bathurst; et al 1770. Leather. Very Good. 7" by 4". Not Stated. A smart set of this curious epistolary novel about a Turkish spy who lived for forty years in the court of Louis XIV. Complete in eight volumes.Illustrated with a frontispiece to Volume I.The twenty-sixth edition.'Letters Writ by a Turkish Spy' is an eight volume collection of fictional letters claiming the authorship to be an Ottoman spy named 'Mahmut' in the French court of Louis XIV.The letters cover the period of 1637 to 1683 from the final years of the Regency of Anne of Austria to the long reign of Louis XIV. As a narrator Mahmut gossips about contemporary politics and the society of the court. These observations include looks at the Cardinals Richelieu and Mazarin. This was a very popular work when first published admirers including Daniel Defoe who wrote his own 'Continuation of Turkish Letters Writ by a Turkish Spy in Paris' in 1718 which covered the period of 1687 to 1693. Volume I was written by Giovanni Paolo Marana a political refugee to the French court of Louis XIV. The subsequent seven volumes were first written in English and appeared between 1691 and 1694.

184475148Paris 1844. Fine. Paris 11 février 1844 10.40 x 13.60 cm quatre pages sur deux feuillets Three autograph letters signed by Gérard de Nerval 2 pages signed «Gérard» Théophile Gautier 1 page and a third unsigned letter 1 page penned by a certain «Robert» cf. Nerval's letter Louis Desessart Théophile Gautier's appointed publisher co-published Nervals play Léo Burckart with Barba in 1839. Following financial difficulties he was forced to take refuge «in that sad and charming city of Brussels». The three friends wrote this letter from Paris where they had reunited following Nervals long journey to the East: «I spent six months in Egypt; then three months in Syria four months in Constantinople and the rest en route. Its quite beautiful. I only enjoy myself while traveling and try to live twice as much as I can.» This journey deeply impressed Théophile Gautier who would only travel to Turkey and Egypt years later: «I am in Paris and wish I were in Cairo from where Gérard is returning.» The exoticism of distant lands starkly contrasts with the melancholy and severity of Europe: «How sad Paris is when one returns from sunlit countries.» Nerval And in Paris far from dreams of escape life means toil and melancholy: «We are like sick people who are never comfortable anywhere. I think the good times are gone and the golden hours of the past when we spoke such wise follies will never return. Whats the point of living if we must work and cannot see our friends or write to them or do anything we would like» Gautier The two writers express great compassion for their friends Belgian exile with Brussels appearing as the capital of spleen: «What! Youre still in that sad and charming city of Brussels! . Brussels is even darker poor fellow!» Nerval This joint letter was in fact initiated by «Robert»: «Isnt it true my dear friend that Im quite skilled at making you forget my faults . as a way of making it up to you Im sending you the autographs of two of your . comrades your fondest memories two men of fame who despite all their affection and friendship for you would never have written a word had I not trimmed their quills and handed them paper like sulky children and told them: write at once at once to the exile you love most.» unknown

164015225London: c1640-1660. Believed to be from GaudenÕs Suspiria. Our print matches that in the British Museum though the text Òplace figure at page 1Ó is lacking possibly making this an earlier or later edition than the BM shown all other points match that text could be trimmed from this print as well.A cedar tree represnting the traditional episcopal church inscribed on the truck ÒThe Church CatholickÓ with two smaller shoots from the trunk labelled ÒPresbytery and ÒIndependencyÓ. Lettered with various inscriptions of churches.ÒI would call particular attention to the elaborate plate entitled ÒThe Goodly Cedar of Apostolick and Catholick Episcopacy compared with the modern Shoots and Slips of divided Novelties in the ChurchÓ. Gauden was clearly very proud of this plate which in his Funeral Sermon on Bishop Browning he describes as a Òfamiliar and plain emblem.Ó - The Academy Vol.XXIII 1883. 32.5 x 27.5cm. Single leaf double page. Beautiful double-page engraving mounted on larger plain leaf. Minor stains to outer margin overall a very nice piece. Suitable for framing. BM 1872 0511.1289. unknown
