Unfortunately this handsome large paper copy has suffered from water damage sometime in the past, additional photographs are available upon request. This set with the additional set of etchings on india paper by George Lewis, of a classic work of the utmost importance for its wealth of eye-witness information and anecdotes about printed books, manuscripts, buildings, other artefacts and people, both from past centuries and from the author's own day, for the extraordinary collection of illustrations, mostly drawn during the tour itself, and finally as a sumptuous piece of book production. As soon as the book appeared, leading scholars derided Dibdin for his lack of scholarship, especially concerning early manuscripts and printed books. But one must distinguish between the extensive and extremely useful information about things and people Dibdin saw during his 1818 tour, and his own interpretations and conclusions, which now serve only as a window to the attitudes of the time. Dibdin's enthusiasm, readable style and entertaining anecdotes, moreover, caught the mood of his age, making the book extremely popular and influential. Lewis' A Series of Groups... was intended to accompany Dibdin's Tour but was rejected by Dibdin as unworthy of his book. Lewis, most perturbed, issued them at his own expense and presented his case in the eight-page Advertisement which was separately printed. Jackson 48; 56; 56n: Windle & Pippin A38a; A44; D13.

[4], 284pp., running title at head of final two leaves slightly shaved, 9013 items. 2 works bound in one, 8vo (205 x 125 mm), cont. half calf, rebacked, corners rubbed, spine gilt. Thomas Jennet (1769-1846) bookseller and printer, a native of Kirkdale, Yorkshire, was apprenticed to, and later partnership with, Robert Christopher, trading as 'Chrisopher & Jennet'. After Christopher's death in 1819 Jennet traded alone. He was the most important printer in Stockton, a magistrate and three times Mayor. After his death the business was continued as 'Jennet & Co'. A search of both Copac and OCLC fails to find any catalogues issued by Jennet. Emerson Charnley I (1782-1845) bookseller and politician, son of William and Elizabeth, 'the veteran emperor of Northumbrian booksellers' according to Dibdin who stayed with him in 1834. He published many important catalogues of antiquarian books until he gave up that side of his business to concentrate on new books in 1843. He supplied 'Literary societies, mechanics societies, book clubs, village libraries, schools... on the most liberal terms' according to an advertisement of 1839. He was active in Newcastle politics, his shop being the headquarters of the Whigs on the town council. Succeeded by his son, Emerson II. Not listed on Copac; OCLC finds a single copy at Huntington Library.

Anderson, with their bookplate to rear paste-down (with a couple of unobtrusive stamps). Hunt, The Book Trade in Northumberland and Durham to 1860. p. 53 & 21.
9 volumes in 10 delen, gebonden. ISBN 9061940125. Catalogus van de pamfletten-verzameling berustende in de Koninklijke Bibliotheek / door W.P.C. Knuttel ; herdruk, met handgeschreven verbeteringen, aanvullingen en varianten ; met-een inleidend essay en een handleiding voor de gebruiker door H. van de Hoeven ; with a summary in English. * 1-I. 1486-1620 * 1-II. 1621-1648 * 2-I. 1649-1667 * 2-II. 1668-1688 * 3. 1689-1713 * 4. 1714-1775 * 5. 1776-1795 * 6.1796-1830 * 7. 1831-1853 * 8. Supplement * 9. Alfabetisch register van onderwerpen 1486-1795. De grondslag voor deze verzameling vormde de zogenoemde Bibliotheca Duncaniana, die met de overige collecties van stadhouder Willem V in 1795 aan de staat waren gekomen. In 1889 verscheen het eerste deel van de Catalogus van de pamflettenverzameling berustende in de Koninklijke Bibliotheek, in 1916 kon het zevende, laatste deel verschijnen, alsmede een supplementdeel, terwijl in 1920 een registerdeel de catalogus voltooide. In 1979 verscheen nog een fotomechanische herdruk met bijgeschreven aanvullingen en correcties. Hoewel Knuttel in Tiele, Van der Wulp en Petit enkele eminente voorgangers had, is zijn catalogus, waarin een 32.000 pamfletten zijn beschreven, toch een werk dat bewondering afdwingt en dat tot op heden zijn waarde als naslagwerk ten volle behouden heeft. Nieuw.
Folio, x,507,[1]pp., facsimiles throughout (some coloured), orig. cloth. The present volume is compiled by Lotte Hellinga with contributions by Paul Needham, Margaret Nickson and John Goldfinch. It includes descriptions of 323 copies of books, representing 221 editions of items printed in England, out of a total of 395 known to date, extensive introductions and 52 full-size plates accompanying the descriptions of printing types. Since the appearance in 1908 of the first volume of BMC the work has been relied on as one of the main authorities on the earliest printing in Europe. Its coverage of early printing from the European countries in which the new technique was successively introduced provides not only extensive bibliographical descriptions, but introduces the material with an analysis of the development of printing in the relevant areas. The guiding theme throughout the earlier volumes is the spread of printing in the fifteenth century as reflected in the British Museum Library's outstanding collection. England is the last volume to appear in this momentous series.
42 volumes, orig. uniform cloth.

Sammelband mit 11 Schriften des streitbaren, aber unglücklichen Juristen und Rhetors Johann Ernst Phillipi (1701-1758), wovon zwei in Erstausgabe. – Inhalt, Autor: Philippi hatte 1731 die Nachfolge Gottscheds als Professor für »Beredsamkeit« in Halle angetreten, sich mit Polemiken u.a. gegen diesen, gleichzeitig mit akademisch zweifelhaften Arbeiten wie der hier vorliegenden Analyse der Rede Ciceros gegen Naevius, aber bald den Unmut der Hallenser Kollegenschaft zugezogen. Diese veranlasste den Satiriker Christian Ludwig Liscow contra personam Philippi zu schreiben (u.a. »Briontes der Jünger«, 1732), was letzterem – nunmehr als Prototyp eines „elenden Scribenten“ (Liscow) stigmatisiert – nicht nur Hohn und Spott der Hallenser Studierenden einbrachte, sondern auch zu einem anhaltenden, für Philippi letztlich ruinösen Schriftenstreit mit Liscow führte. Aus Halle entlassen wurde Philippi 1740 erstmals „als geistesgestört in Gewahrsam genommen“ (Killy), und sollte er danach nicht wieder im Leben Fuß fassen. – Illustration: Das Frontispiz zeigt eine satirische Darstellung des „Privilegirten Plasebalg Händelers“ Philippi, der „Wind-Beutel“ wie Cicero (und wohl auch Liscow und Gottsched) wegbläst. Der Haupttitel und der Anhang „Von dem Rechte der verdeckten Schreib-Art“ in Erstausgabe, die anderen 9 Pamphlete waren laut Meusel bereits in den Jahren 1733 und 1734 erschienen. – Erhaltung: Fehlpaginierung: 227/8 und 491/2 doppelt vergeben, Paginierung springt von 507 auf 518 und von 528 auf 531. Einband and den Gelenken, Ecken und Kanten berieben, vorderer fliegender Vorsatz mit Inhaltsverz. u. Anmerkungen mittels Bleistift; Buchblock stellenweise zur Einpassung in die Bindung beschnitten, jedoch immer ohne Textverlust. – Seltenheit: Obschon in deutschen institutionellen Beständen gut vertreten sind Philippis Schriften im Handel aktuell und historisch von ausnehmender Seltenheit. Laut JAP/APO und RBH kamen seit nur 3 derartige Sammelbände jemals zur Auktion (2006, 1970, 1918). – Literatur: Meusel X, 413-419 (EA v. Nrn. 1 und 11, S. 416 und 418); Killy, DBE, Bd. 7 (1998) zit.

1849639831 L.A.S. de 4 pages sous enveloppe jointe affranchie le 4 mars 1849, adressée à M. "Deulin, Etudiant, à Condé sur l'Escaut" : Edmond About s'excuse de ne pas avoir répondu plus tôt "mais heureusement vous êtes en état de me comprendre et de m'excuser quand je vous dirai que je vous aurai répondu depuis longtemps si je n'étais moi-même amoureux, et sérieusement, c'est à dire follement et de manière à ne pouvoir rien faire de sérieux, pas même une lettre à un ami. Il y a peut-être cette différence entre votre infirmité et la mienne que vous êtes probablement heureux, ou que vous pourrez l'être ; tandis que moi sauf le bonheur d'aimer, je n'en attends, je n'en espère et je ne voudrais même pas en désirer d'autre. [... ] Celui qui vous écrit est dans une impasse d'où l'on ne sort que par un mariage ou par une infamie ; or ni l'un ni l'autre ne sont de mon goût. Je désire de tout mon coeur, mon coeur ami, que vous soyez plus heureux que moi" [ About se réjouit de la vie douce de son ami à Condé-sur-l'Escaut : ] "Je vous félicite donc sincèrement de n'être pas venu à Paris, et d'avoir compté vainement sur M. de Falloux. Si je l'avais connu la dernière fois que je vous ai écrit, j'aurai pu vous éclairer sur la nature de sa parole. Il est venu nous voir à l'Ecole et nous a noyés de compliments délayés et très fades : au reste, il nous déteste et ne songe qu'à nous traiter comme l'école d'administration" [ Il l'invite à se préparer lui-même au concours de l'Ecole : ] "Dans le cas où vous ne seriez pas reçu (ce dont les Dieux nous gardent !) vous vous seriez fait connaître de ces messieurs, et ils vous obtiendraient une place de professeur en province ; en attendant, ils l'ont fait pour un de nos camarades qui ne vous valait pas, et qui avait été refusé pour impertinence à l'examen oral" [ Il répond ensuite en 11 points à toutes ces questions sur l'examen ; durée, longueur, compositions en vers, examens oraux, et notamment pour la dissertation philosophique : ] "Lisez le manuel des trois demi-ânes éclectiques Simon, Jacquin et Saisset ; prenez, si vous avez le temps, une teinture de Descartes, de Malebranche et de Leibnitz. Généralement, la composition est mal faite" [Pour la question d'histoire :] " Peu d'élèves savent répondre par des faits ; on dit le plus de généralités qu'on peut. Une date, quelquefois deux, et c'est tout" [Avec la même verve, il continue plus loin : ] "D'auteurs français, je vous conseille de n'en lire aucun, et surtout de vous abstenir du commentaire de Laharpe. A l'examen, on ne vous demande pas de français, mais du latin et du grec. Ne lisez de français que ce qu'il vous faut pour vous former le style [etc... ] "Je crains, mon cher ami, que vous ne vous fassiez beaucoup d'illusions sur l'Ecole. J'ai été comme vous, mais je ne veux pas anticiper sur votre expérience personnelle. Vous ne trouverez pas ici tout ce que vous espérez. Mais du moins vous y trouverez un ami" [... ]
