1812112801London: J. Davis Essex Street Strand. Good with no dust jacket. 1812/13. 1st Edition Plus. see description. Hardcover. In contemporary 1800s Half-Leather with gilt titling/banding/small decorations and marbled paper boards. Quite an attractive book but scruffy and with damage/some loss to the leather. The boards and the leather are worn and badly scuffed to all 4 corners with loss to the leather and the spine edges have split on the top and bottom edges and are cracking all up the sides. Some small loss there and to the head/tail of the spine and to the rear inner edges. There is also some cracking of the leather to the centre of the spine but no loss. ALL hinges holding tight however and for it's age it looks quite reasonable. This is an oddity and the collation is difficult as the book consists of a most attractive Engraved Title Page to Volume V dated 1813 with a small rectangular engraved vignette 'View of Horseguards from St James Park'. This is followed by The Title/Contents page for 'The Royal Military Chronicle or British Officer's Monthly Register and Mentor for DECEMBER 1812' followed by a full page engraving of the bust of The Marquis of Wellington pages 92 to 168 pp : then 'The Royal Military Chronicle. ' for JANUARY 1813 pages 169 - 248 pp including a tissue guarded engraved Portrait of 'The Prince Regent' and a Large fold-out map of Russia in Europe : Then follows the Title page for 'The Life of Peter The Great Emperor of Russia Including the History of The Russian Empire During His Reign; with an Historical Sketch of the Most Important Events During That Period.

Translated from the French of Vertot. Thence Continued Down to the Present Time. Published 1813 by J. Davis Military Chronicle Office. The Large fold out Maps have grubby edges from being left 'proud' of the book but are all complete and are very clean good clear impressions printed on good quality paper. The first six pages in the book have some light old damp staining to the top on the blank margins and a couple of the later full page engravings also have a little old damp staining to the top sections. Plain endpapers. Generally the book is Internally VERY Good. This seems to have been a personally bound volume and going from the list of 'Embellishments' at the end of the Volume Index which lists 6 portraits starting with 'His Majesty George III' - it would appear that Volume 5 should have started with the Chronicle for November 1812 with his portrait. This is not bound in - but this issue has NOT been removed from this vol and given the Additional books in this volume relating to the content of these issues it has instead been bound in the previous volume by the former owner.

Thomas Meighan London 4 1/2 x 7 1/8 inches tall light gray paper-covered boards over blue cloth spine printed paper title label to spine 26 204 lxviii 1 pp. Title page a bit soiled. Minor staining to the top margin of the first few pages. Otherwise a very good copy of a scarce work. Association copy: Armorial bookplate of Joseph Gillow to front free-endpaper and signed note by Gillow on the front pastedown identifying the author of this anonymous work as Fr. Robert Manning and referring to his entry on Manning in Gillow's monumental work the Biographical and Bibliographical Dictionary of the English Catholics 5 vols 1885-1902. Gillow 1850-1921 was an English Roman Catholic antiquary and bio-bibliographer referred to by Thomas Bridgett in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography as 'the Plutarch of the English Catholics.' The English Short Title Catalog No. T59201 locates copies of this work at only five American institutions: Univ. of Notre Dame Univ. of Pennsylvania UCLA St. Louis University and Perkins School of Theology at SMU. ~H~ The author of this anonymous work Robert Manning 1655-1731 was an English Roman Catholic priest and controversialist. Born to an English mother and Dutch father Manning entered the English College Douai in 1668 and later taught humanities and philosophy there. Ordained a priest in 1690 he was sent to the English mission in 1692 becoming chaplain to Lord Petre and other members of the Petre family at Ingatestone Hall. Stylish learned and dialectically convincing Manning produced a string of polemical works that rank him as one of the leading figures in that silver age of English Catholic controversial writing. Michael Mullett ed. 'English Catholicism 1680-1830' Vol. 1 pp. 289-90. In his preface to this work Manning refers to the anonymous tract entitled 'A Protestant's Resolution Showing His Reasons Why He Will Not be a Papist Directed to the Meanest Capacity.' This tract was frequently reprinted the sixth edition London 1684. The end of the title to this work by Manning reads: 'With a preface and appendix in vindication of Catholick morals from the old calumnies faithfully collected in a libel entitled A Protestant's resolution &c.' The publisher of this edition Thomas Meighan is sometimes referred to as the 'father of Catholic booksellers in 18th century London' working during a time when it was most impolitic to be a Catholic there let alone a Catholic publisher and bookseller. His shop was at the northern end of Drury Lane in the parish of St. Giles-in-the-Fields. He can be found in business there as early as September 13 1715 when Viscount Townshend Secretary of State for the Northern Department issued instructions for the interception of mail destined to 'Mr. Mahon's a bookseller near the Crown tavern in Drury Lane.' Advertisements Meighan published in 1715 and 1717 display a wide range of Catholic books. Not content with selling he also became what we would call nowadays a publisher that is one who acted as a catalyst and helped authors to get their books printed and sold and as early as 1715 we find a book with 'sold by Thomas Meighan' in the imprint. Usually however the restrictions on English Catholics prevented such a public display and most Catholic works appeared anonymously often with false imprints so that it is impossible to identify the printer much less ascertain which bookseller sold the work. In 1726 when the government decided to seize all copies of Robert Manning's newly printed 'England's Conversion and Reformation Compared' the warrants were issued only against Meighan implying that the book was on sale at his shop alone. s.n.
