182512196William Pickering 1825. 5 vols. sm. 8vo. on laid paper dated 1824 with engraved portrait frontispiece 'wreath' titles some very light spotting and dust-soiling to text fore-edges dusty neat and uniform nineteenth century signature on front paste-downs; original brown puce cloth backstrips with original paper labels lettered in black uncut and partially unopened first volume expertly recased third volume with small 'pull' at headband else a very good firm set in minimally restored early cloth binding. THE SET IS COMPLETE WITH ALL HALF-TITLES. It includes Philip Masterman's 'Essay on the Life and Writings of Edmund Spenser' and an extensive glossary. The portrait is engraved by Worthington. The titles carry Pickering's distinctive 'wreath'. 'The books of Pickering's Wreath Series possess in common an exceedingly pleasant format and on their title-pages is his beautiful and individual wreath ornament usually as here with the motto 'Perennis et frgrans'. This ornament served to all intents and purposes as Pickering's 'device' in the books which he published in the years 1825 and 1826' Keynes pp.16-17. The work was an early product of his collaboration with co-publisher Talboys and Wheeler of Oxford. Pickering produced his first commercial cloth binding for his 'Diamond Classics' series of the early 1820s. 'He was afterwards imitated by other publishers but the smooth red magenta puce or dark blue cloth used by Pickering remained for many years the distinguishing mark of his books. The innovation thus quietly made by Pickering in 1820 has had its effect on the whole subsequent history of the publishing trade in England and but for him boards or paper covers for books might now be considered to be just as inevitable in this country as they still appear to be on the continent of Europe' Keynes pp.14-15. A MOST ATTRACTIVE COPY IN SPLENDID MINIMALLY RESTORED BINDING FROM ONE OF THE FOUNDERS OF PUBLISHER'S CLOTH. This copy is bound in Pickering's characteristic dark brown 'puce' shade rather than the red cloth seen by Keynes. Keynes p.90 with asterisk denoting 'special merit'. William Pickering, hardcover

1860023316Boston: Little Brown and Co 1860. 12mo. In five volumes. Portrait frontispiece in volume 1. These volumes were at first intended to be a little more than a reprint of the edition published in 1839. But the necessity of reducing the annotations to a more compact form and the hope of making some improvements led to alterations becoming more extensive as it progressed. The glossary had been entirely reconstructed. The life of the Poet is believed to be more complete and more correct than any former biography. A very good set bound in full contemporary calf boards triple ruled in blind slightly raised bands gilt with compartments fully gilt decorated red morocco spine labels gilt all edges marbled with matching endpapers Bookplate belonging to Minot Volume 4 with chip to head some light chipping to foot of volume 3 and wear through to corners a few spots of rubbing internally clean and bright without foxing.

William Pickering's The Aldine Edition of the British Poets was a reprint series of classic literature printed by his close collaborator Charles Whittingham. Pickering 1796-1854 is remembered for "the introduction of cloth binding leading to the wider availability of books at lower prices 5 shillings per cloth volume as here; the publication of reputable editions of both standard and neglected works; and a close attention to book design which had a lasting influence" ODNB. And for his friendly manner and fondness for maroon waistcoats apparently. Elias Cathcart 1817-1877 of Auchendrane was a Scottish Advocate and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh 1826–39. He translated Friedrich Carl von Savigny's The History of the Roman Law during the Middle Ages 1829 to the admiration of its author and contemporary critics. W. F.
