181231246AB1812. The Eleventh Edition. London Printed for James Carpenter 1812. Duodecimo. XXIV 172 pages. Hardcover / Beautiful decorative leather with gilt lettering and ornament on spine and boards. The little Volume now in protective Mylar. Very good condition with only minor signs of wear. The binding tight and intact. Minor signs of foxing. Poetry Foundation: "Living up to the title Anacreon Moore strained the budget of the promising young poet but rather than accept an Irish laureateship created for him by Atkinson and Moira Moore published his juvenile poems as Poetical Works of the Late Thomas Little Esq. 1801 assuming a pseudonym appropriate to his short stature. The proceeds barely met his debt but the collection of love poems further enhanced his reputation as a ladies man. Although these light lyrics seem remarkably chaste to modern readers the kisses and embraces they celebrate suggested much to 19th-century readers. As in Moores later poetry the visual sense is starved in these lyrics but they provide well for the emotional dimension. Moore later regretted publishing these poems; at the time he was as grateful for the publishers remuneration as for the advance of his poetic reputation." hardcover

176826070London:: J. Ridley. Full leather binding. 12mo xxxii 287pp.contemporary errata page. Full leather with raised bands to spine. Gilt titles to red spine label. Gilt dentelles. Two armourial bookplates: firstly that of Robert Shafto d.1780 of Benwell in Northumberland and secondly that of his son-in-law William Adair. Robert Shafto was a distant cousin of the Robert Shafto MP 1732-1797 of whom the folk song ' Bobby Shafto' is believed to refer. However some sources Thomas & George Allan in Tyneside Songs and Readings 1891 believe Robert Shafto 1760–1781 of Benwell was the inspiration - he was the son of the owner of this book. Either way the Shafto family with their strong Northumberland and Co. Durham connections make this volume of particular interest to those with interest in NE England. Most of the prelim is taken up with The Classic poem. The text is in English. Front hinge split and held only by one cord rear hinge tender. Though the binding is rather fragile the gatherings remain tightly bound and square. Pages show some age toning to the very edges more so towards the beginning and end of the text block. Starting to crack vertically down the middle of the spine. Prelims are unevenly tanned. Rubbed to edges with the tips of the board showing to two corners. Some slight scuffing to the surface of the leather. Fair copy . Hardback. 1768. J. Ridley hardcover

Second work: Schweiger I 26; Adams A-1002. ◆Recently and very expertly washed and resized some leaves with very faint browning otherwise bright and fresh as well as entirely clean in a convincing new period-style binding.<br/> <br/> The first book to be published by Henri Estienne the initial work here is the original printing of an important collection of classical lyric poetry described by Dibdin as "a beautiful and rare edition." According to Schreiber this collection of Greek poems written in imitation of the sixth century poet Anacreon "became the most influential 'ancient' Greek poetic text during the Renaissance and Estienne's editio princeps virtually caused a poetic revolution." One of the greatest of the scholar-printers of the 15th and 16th centuries Henri Estienne 1528 or 1531-91 found these poems in two old manuscripts compiled the collection and did the Latin translation. The work became the first project released under Henri's imprint by his father Robert's press; Schreiber believes the presswork was done by Guillaume Morel rather than by Henri himself as it used three sizes of Claude Garamond's lovely and renowned "grecs du roi" type. The second work here includes additional odes not in the Estienne edition and is thus the first complete Latin translation of the "Anacreontia." It is a rare work: OCLC finds just two copies in North America while ABPC and RBH record three copies all bound as here with the 1554 Estienne.

18133644London: B.R. Howlette / John Murray 1813. Second edition. Good. 8vo. 2 130 pp. Printed in Greek throughout on fine paper. Contemporary English red diced russia calf rubbed and worn tooled in blind outer frame of gilt palmette rolls all edges gilt drab endpapers. Front endpaper waterstained; second blank leaf with paper flaw; outer margins of final pages darkened from turn-ins. With faults and priced accordingly. THE ONLY KNOWN ILLUSTRATIONS BY MRS. LAVINIA FORSTER. Our copy bears learned MS annotations in Greek and Latin. <br /> <br /> Beautifully printed in a Greek font created especially for William Bulmer by William Martin. Dibdin described the 1802 first edition as an "elegant work that confers great credit on the printer." Our copy belongs to the second edition which was printed in the same Greek font and retains the 20 fine engraved head- and tailpiece vignettes designed by Lavinia Banks Forster 1774-1858 wife of the present editor Edward Foster. Two of the vignettes are signed in absolutely miniscule lettering "Publ. by W. Miller Old Bond Street 1802." <br /> <br /> Mrs. Lavinia Banks Forster was the only child of the sculptor Thomas Banks and his wife Elizabeth. She married the Reverend Edward Forster in 1799 and from 1815 lived in Paris with her husband who was at that time Chaplain to the British Embassy. There they provided a social center for artists. Her lively and fully accomplished illustrations for her husband's Anacreon represent the only published examples by her that we have been able to trace. <br /> <br /> "Few of Anacreon's works survive but those that do focus on wine love homosexual and heterosexual and the overall pleasures of the legendary Roman symposium. Anacreon used various techniques in his writings including self-deprecation and irony. The collection of miscellaneous Greek poems from the Hellenistic Age and beyond known as the Anacreontea was 'mistakenly labeled' with Anacreon's name" see William and Mary Law Library online exhibit. <br /> <br /> The annotator of our copy was one George Houstoun on title: "Ex libris Georgii Houstoun." Given the lavishness of the binding and the fact that the book itself was printed on fine paper perhaps this individual was George Houstoun 1743-1815 4th Laird of Johnstone Renfrew Scotland. Subsequently signed in pencil inside the lower cover: "R. Bradford." <br /> <br /> Dibdin Greek and Latin Classics vol. I pp. 266-267 1802 edition. See DNB under Edward Forster. B.R.
