1805011286London: Printed For F. C. and J. Rivington T. Payne Cadell and Davies and R. H. Evans 1805 Lacks Volume IV. Uniformly bound in full leather with decorative gilt covers front and back each with an armorial seal raised bands on gilt decorated spines inner dentelles all edges gilt ribbon markers with all covers still attached frontis-piece in Volume I is present foxed. There are two bookplates inside each volume each with a history attached to the owners. The first is E. Dennison being Eduardo Denison. There is a Latin inscription to him in Volume I "Egregio Juveni Eduardo Denison Coll: Oriel: Supt. Ord. Commensali Publica Examinatione In Litenis humaniovibus Primam Clafsem Adepts. D. D. Praepositus et Socii Osielenses. MDCCCXXII". It appears that this set was a gift for passing an exam of importance. In 1868 Argentina Eduardo Denison along with Octavia Hill created Labor Centers Worker's Clubs and Schools to help free those in poverty banishing the systems of handouts in favor of work. He also worked with UNESCO analyzing the influence of Education in the economic growth of a country. The second bookplate being armorial bears the name of W. Harry Rylands 1847-1922 a prolific author Secretary to the Society of Biblical Archaeology specializing in Oriental Archaeology and the Hittite Language. He also designed a fount of Hittite type with this just touching upon his extensive activities in the fields of literature and antiquities. Covers show edge/corner wear some upper spine weakness due to the books being improperly pulled from shelves interior shows occasional light foxing. Printed For F. C. and J. Rivington, T. Payne, Cadell and Davies, and R. H. Evans hardcover
1862ST19567-034London: Bell and Daldy 1862. 229 x 152 mm. 9 x 6". Five volumes. Edited by John Payne Collier. <br/> VERY ATTRACTIVE DEEP BLUE PEBBLE-GRAIN MOROCCO HANDSOMELY GILT covers with frames of one dogtooth and three plain rules raised bands spines in antique-style compartments with delicate scrolling cornerpieces and intricate central fleuron surrounded by small tools densely gilt floral turn-ins marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With frontispiece portrait of Spenser in volume I. Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Herbert Lionel Bashford M. A. Dibon Lodge Godalming. See: Day "History of English Literature to 1660" pp. 187-89. Spines just a shade darker than covers a couple covers with a slightly blotchy appearance due to leather preservative but quite an attractive set in generally fine condition the text fresh and bright and the leather lustrous.<br/> <br/> The first modern English poet to achieve major stature Spenser ca. 1552-99 in Day's words demonstrated "with his fluency in many meters and stanzaic forms . . . that English was at least the equal to any other language as a vehicle of great poetry." While his poems particularly "The Faerie Queene" look backward as the culmination of the allegorical verse tradition of the Pearl Poet Langland and Chaucer he has influenced with "his fertile imagination and especially his sensuous imagery and melodic language" nearly every important English poet who followed him. Day DNB praises Collier's "Spenser" first published in 1862 as "an excellent edition with the completest life of the poet that had as yet appeared." Despite his great knowledge and love of early English authors Collier 1789-1883 suffered a certain diminished respect because of his propensity for textual fabrication. This was true particularly in the case of the notorious "Perkins folio" supposedly containing an early copy of Shakespeare's works with superior variant readings which turned out to be forged. Britannica comments that these "fabrications . . . may charitably . . . be attributed to literary monomania but . . . it is difficult to speak with patience of them so completely did they for a long time bewilder the chronology of Shakespeare's writings." Apart from its important content this set is quite lovely on the shelf. The bindings are unsigned but they have the feel and appearance of work done by James Hayday 1796-1872 one of the most prominent and productive English binders of the 19th century. The present set is typical of Hayday's decorative work for a large market using high quality leather and being liberal with gilt embellishment. Bell and Daldy unknown

192333330950Waltham Saint Lawrence Berkshire: Golden Cockerel Press 1923. Limited Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. White Ethelbert. One of 350 copies on paper duodecimo size 49 pp. Edmund Spenser 1552/3 to 1599 is probably best known for his epic poem "The Faerie Queene" an ode to Elizabeth I. Even today he is considered one of the greatest poets of the English language. <br /> <br /> This work "The Wedding Songs" is a publication uniting two works which were published a year apart both dealing with love and romance.<br /> <br /> According to "Chanticleer" this is the first work of the Press to be illustrated with wood-engravings; however they go on to state that "there is no great feeling of harmony between the engravings and the type" p. 16. We find the three wood-engravings charming; Ethelbert White 1892-1972 was a founding member of the English Wood Engraving Society beginning his career with water colour but being introduced to wood-engraving in 1920. <br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: Quarter linen white paper spine label with black lettering blue paper sides over boards fore- and bottom edges uncut the frontispiece one of three wood engravings and the only one in three colours rust green and yellow the other two only in rust; Caslon type on hand-made unbleached Arnold paper duodecimo size 7 3/8" by 4 1/2" pagination: 1-8 9-46 47 final wood-engraving 48 colophon 49 publisher's device; no. 329 of the 350 copies on paper per the bibliography; note that the colophon states 320 copies on paper there were an additional 25 copies on Japanese vellum. <br /> <br /> ___CONDITION: Volume near fine with clean boards perfectly straight corners with a hint of rubbing a strong square text block with solid hinges the interior is clean and bright and entirely free of prior owner markings; some sunning to the margins of the board edges and some offsetting and light foxing to the endpapers. <br /> <br /> ___CITATION: Chanticleer no. 14. <br /> <br /> ___POSTAGE: International customers please note that additional postage may apply as the standard does not always cover costs; please inquire for details.<br /> <br /> ___Swan's Fine Books is pleased to be a member of the ABAA ILAB and IOBA and we stand behind every book we sell.
