186015819Trubner & Co. 1860. 8vo. Second Edition with an engraved frontispiece illustrated title in red and black 6 fine wood-engraved plates FINELY COLOURED BY HAND and 26 engraved illustrations in the text wanting front free endpaper frontispiece and title lightly spotted; original pictorial red coarse-grain cloth upper board elaborately blocked with multiple frame border in gilt and blind enclosing jester and title all in gilt gilt back gilt edges bevelled boards yellow endpapers covers moderately age-soiled corners scuffed joints somewhat rubbed with one short tear gathering cracked at F6-7 but binding wholly sound else a firm tight copy. With Westley's binder's ticket on rear paste-down. Mackenzie's version of the German mediaeval classic was first published in 1860 as a Christmas volume but stocks were swiftly exhausted and a second edition prepared to meet continuing demand. Mackenzie produced a lengthy additional preface to this second edition attributing the success of the venture partly to 'the generous and unanimous verdict of the press' but also surely to the wonderful illustrations by 'Alfred Crowquill' A.H. Forrester. Many would-be Christmas readers must have been disappointed for Mazkenzie dates his preface Christmas Eve but scholars of mediaeval romance and fantasy will find this a most useful edition replete with extensive historical preface and bibliographical and other scholarly appendices. The US edition T&F of Boston of the same year is the first American edition of the tale in English. Scarce. Trubner & Co., hardcover

Octavo signed in fours. 1–3 4–56 2pp. Heavily foxed removed from a nonce volume; a good sound copy.</p> <p>First American edition and reasonably scarce to commerce. Born into a military family in Queen’s County Ireland Edward Marcus Despard 1751–1803 joined the British Army as an ensign in 1766 and quickly rose through the ranks distinguishing himself as a military engineer and gaining recognition for his efforts during the capture of Fort San Juan from Spain in 1779. ODNB</p> <p>Despard’s career took a controversial turn when he became involved in revolutionary activities upon his return to Britain. He became affiliated with radical groups such as the London Corresponding Society and the United Irishmen ultimately leading to his arrest in November 1802 for allegedly plotting a coup against the government. At his trial in February 1803 Despard was found guilty of treason despite efforts to paint him as a victim of government conspiracy. He was executed on 21 February 1803 leaving behind a legacy marked by both his military service and his radical political ambitions. ibid</p> <p>Shaw & Shoemaker; 4076.</p> unknown
