1769W2619Williamsburg Virginia: Printed by W. Rind A. Purdie and J. Dixon 1769. 4 577 1 pages. First and only printing of this important colonial Williamsburg imprint. Late in 1767 the General Assembly authorized a third "revisal" of Virginia laws which meant a compilation of all acts passed since the 1752 "revisal" together with all laws passed prior to 1752 that were still in effect. Ordinarily the contract for printing the book would have been awarded to the official public printer William Rind but Rind's financial straits caused the General Assembly to award the contract to Rind's financially stable competitors the Williamsburg printing company of Alexander Purdie and John Dixon . Perhaps to spare Rind public embarrassment it was decided to advertise the project as a joint venture; thus the names of Rind Purdie and Dixon are listed as printers on the title page. ASSOCIATION COPY: On the title page is the 1784 signature of Alexander Breckinridge 1752-1801 a Virginia surveyor veteran of the Revolution and participant of the 1787 convention on Kentucky statehood. On a blank page in the rear of the book is a form for a legal deed that is written in Breckinridge's hand. In the twentieth century book was sympathetically rebound in full leather with remnants of original leather and original leather title patch laid down. Professional rice paper repairs to margins of many pages; the repairs affect very little text. First Edition Thus. Hardcover. Very Good-. Folio - over 12" - 15" tall. Book. Printed by W. Rind, A. Purdie, and J. Dixon Hardcover

Stitched into brown wraps with lithographed title on cover in pastiche of Gothic design including monogrammed initials 'IS' in shield with the letters picked out in red. In fair condition aged and worn. An extremely scarce item no copies found on OCLC WorldCat or COPAC whose text and illustrations cast light on the practices at the Royal Academy in the mid-Victorian period. Scumble is a glaze painting technique. The piece is a poem in four-line stanzas written in Wardour Street English beginning: 'Now lyth and listen Students all I come before ye here To tell the Mischance that befell A yonge Probationere Merrye it was in Londonne streetes The daye was faire to see When sallied forth an Artiste-youth To the Royal Academie.' The drophead title on the first page has the letters in the name 'Arthur Scumble' also picked out in red. Each page carries a highly-stylised illustration the last five in text the first in the margin and depicting a herald holding a flag on a pole and blowing into a horn. The other five illustrations show: the artist handing in his drawing; drawing a skeleton; drawing his 'Figure after the Antique'; running away with hat and glasses flying; and his body being searched after his suicide by two policemen. Running synopses in margins the first reading: 'Of a yonge Artiste hight Arthur Scumble & how he takes a Drawynge to ye Academie to obtain entrance therein as a Probationere.' There follow: 'He urgeth on ye Portere ye. necessitie of a speedie Decisionne by ye. Council.' 'He commenceth Worke at ye Academie' 'But lykes it lyttle' 'He fyndeth ye Skeleton tough' 'Commenceth hys Figure after the Antique.

Portere' 'In dysorder of mind & Bodye he fleeth from ye Academye' 'He commyteth Suicide' 'Ye. Ende'. See IMage. London: Ford & West, Imp. 54, Hatton Garden. 1852. paperback
