1819ST19158Halesworth Suffolk: Printed and sold by T. Tippell 1819. FIRST EDITION. 216 x 133 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 1/4". xvi 2 116 pp. <br/> Contemporary rose-pink calf decorated in gilt and blind smooth spine with compartments densely diapered in gilt two black morocco labels marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Sir Alfred Sherlock Gooch; verso of front free endpaper and half title with ink signature of Thomas Sherlock Gooch. ◆Joints a little rubbed at the top leather a bit smudged and marked minor intermittent foxing but a clean and very fresh copy internally in a once very pretty binding that is still quite appealing.<br/> <br/> Set in the ninth century on the coast of Suffolk "between the sea and the river Ald" this long-form poem tells the story of a brutal Danish invasion upon a Saxon village. As DNB tells us the work "was first issued by subscription but its success induced a London publisher three months after its appearance to undertake an edition for the public. In 1820 Nathan Drake in his Winter Nights . . . reviewed it at length and claimed for Bird the same rank in literature as that attained by Robert Bloomfield" a working-class and self-educated writer like himself. A native of Suffolk James Bird 1788-1839 trained as a miller then became a bookseller and druggist as well as the father of 16. According to DNB "Much of Bird's early poetry indicates an intimate acquaintance with Dryden and Pope and demonstrates the influence of Byron and Campbell but his later work is in a more original style." This copy was owned by one of the original subscribers Thomas Sherlock Gooch 1767-1851 whose family home was also located in Suffolk. This work is very rarely seen in the market either at auction or advertised by dealers. Printed and sold by T. Tippell unknown

Red and blue cloth with paper title label to front cover and gilt lettering to spine. All volumes in Near Fine or Fine condition. Slight scrape mark on cover of volume five. " The Lisle Letters consist of the personal, official, and business correspondence of the household of Arthur Plantagenet, Viscount Lisle, the illegitimate but acknowledged son of Edward IV, during the years 1533 to 1540 when he was Lord Deputy of Calais. These seven critical years in English history were marked by the rise, ascendency, and fall of Thomas Cromwell and the letters reflect the mixture of passion, terror, and politics that was the court of Henry VIII. They also present the everyday concerns of the Lisle household. No other source provides such an abundance of detail about daily life - marriage, child rearing, education, clothing, food, and furnishing. The Lisle Letters are the Tudor world in microcosm."

A very pleasing and collectible set of this important work. A BEAUTIFULLY BOUND COPY OF THE EDITION. A HIGHLY IMPORTANT HISTORICAL WORK. It is especially unusual to discover a copy so firm and sturdy and in bindings clearly made for a gentleman of import and wealth.<br> Charles Kendal Adams in his Manual of Historical Literature perhaps best describes this important work “This work. has enjoyed the rank of a classic in historical literature from the day of its completion to the present time. In point of clearness elegance and simplicity of style it has never been surpassed.†<br> This edition features many corrections by the author. Hume’s original corrections were not so much on factual matters dealing with dates or events but an attempt to soften or correct some seditious Whig sentiments that he had allowed to creep into it. Speaking of his first edition Hume admitted “I am sensible that his writings were too full of those foolish English prejudices which all nations and all ages disavow.â€<br> The work is considered by many to be the first truly great history of England and that although historically imperfect of outstanding intellectual conception. Smollett continues it from the Revolution. For Hume it was not a simple chronicle of events but instead an attempt to trace the many steps leading to the state of England as it was in his present time. He views history not only as a chain of actions and reactions but delves as well into the material and intellectual state of the nation throughout the various points of the time period covered. Smollett carried through in the same vein. Printed for T. Cadell; C.J.G. and F. Rivington; Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown and Green et al. hardcover
