18944Without place or date circa 1910. The manuscript is closely-written over 80pp. 4to in green cloth and is interleaved with the twenty leaves of Peet's printed bibliography from the 1910 edition of Mumby's book paginated 431-470 to which it does not correspond with only a small amount of the information in the manuscript also in Peet's bibliography. It contains a mass of material not present in Peet's bibliography and has the main list followed by entries under the following headings: 'Booksellers' Portraits' 'Tokens' 'Petitions & Memorials' 'Charities' 'Magazine Articles' 'Book Labels' and 'Copyright'. In very good condition on lightly-aged paper in modern green cloth binding with 'BIBLIOGRAPHY MS.' in gilt on spine. Bound in at the beginning is an Autograph Letter Signed to the presumed compiler 'Mr Abrahams' from Peet 'Wm. H. Peet' dated from Alleyn Burcott Road Purley on 4 December 1910. In the letter which is written after the publication of the first edition of Mumby's book Peet thanks Abrahams for his offer of help with 'my Bibliography. I will go carefully through your list and ask you for what I should like to see'. In the meantime he asks Abrahams to accept 'these rough Sheets which may be useful'. At the head of the first page of the manuscript is the following note signed by 'Aa': 'Mr Peet in his bibliography includes contributions to the Periodical Press. I have provided a separate list of these supra "Magazine Articles" as they are frequently discussions of current topics and not of historical importance. The author was clearly a scholar and collector of material relating to British book trade history. Occasional entries in the list are signed 'Aa' and one reading 'Aa collection' and a slip from a bookseller's catalogue annotated 'now in my collection cost 23/- 7/4/12'. A few extraneous items are bound in or loosely inserted: including engravings from the European Magazine of Dr Ralph Griffiths editor of the Monthly Review and Robert Orme; and a leaf from a catalogue of 'John Boydell Engraver in Cheapside' dated 2 April 1764. Without place or date [circa 1910]. hardcover

1775151683London et se trouve à Paris: Chez Didot 1775. An important source on Quesnay's life First edition of this eulogy on Quesnay giving an account of the physiocratic system published soon after Quesnay's death in December 1774 and an important contemporary source on his life.

Brunet III 1175; Bourdillon "Early Editions of the Roman de la Rose" the "S" version pp. 62-63. ◆Leaves lightly washed and pressed following the bibliophilic fashion at the time of binding occasional mild browning or small marginal stains but still A LOVELY COPY clean and still crisp IN A SPARKLING BINDING.<br /><br />Beautifully bound this is a most attractive copy of the last early edition of this classic of courtly love perhaps the most influential work in Medieval French literature. An allegorical love poem that unfolds as a dream vision the "Romance of the Rose" is the work of two authors Guillaume de Lorris who composed the first 4000 or so lines around 1230 and Jean de Meun who contributed an additional 18000 lines 40 years later. Our version was edited by the poet Clément Marot 1496-1544 to make the language more accessible to 16th century French readers and his efforts contributed to a renewed popularity for the tale. Marot did four recensions of the text; this is the final one. After our printing no other edition appeared until 1735. According to Bourdillon the woodcuts here are copied from the "very pretty" series in the 1529 edition. The scenes are impressive in the level of detail especially considering their diminutive size. Pierre Marcellin Lortic 1822-92 was one of the great binders of 19th century Paris known for his superb interpretations of traditional styles as in the present binding. According to Flety "at once artisan and artiste intelligent and conscientious an expert and a lover of his metier he knew how to give his work the finish the brilliance that very few practitioners of his time could attain." Our copy comes from the library of French bibliophile Paul Grandsire of Nogenten-Bassigny Haute-Marne whose notable collection of French imprints from the 15th to the 18th centuries was sold in 1930. All early versions of the "Romance of the Rose" are sought after and this is especially true of well-preserved copies of those editions with charming illustrations and in fine bindings favored by discriminating bibliophiles.</p> Jehan Masse [Jean Macé]
