Three volumes. Engraved armorial frontis. Small 8vo. 17 cm. Later English half leather binding by A. F. Denny, rubbed at extremities. Marbled edges. Engraved bookplate of Alexander Uffey. ** FROM THE HARRY S. TRUMAN LIBRARY: Embossed stamp of the 'Harry S. Truman Library / Independence Missouri' and the 'Surplus / Duplicate' stamp of the Library of Congress. Warren was an English lawyer who gained fame for his arguments against the insanity defense. Starting in 1830, he contributed regular ly to Blackwood's Magazine. His great success was 'Ten Thousand a Year' which ran in Blackwood's October 1839 to August 1841. It was one of the most popular novels of the century. Defying public sentiment, critics complained of the banality of the moralizing and the extravagance of the humor. Most contem poary readers, on the other hand, found the sketches of farcical characters boldly drawn and the caricatures clearly developed. Warren lived on the fame of this work for decades. For some reason, this particular edition is scarce. Of course, this set gains added interest in having come from U.S. President Truman's library. "There is probably no man living, though ever so great a fool, that cannot do 'something' or other well" -- Samuel Warren. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W148
Madrid, Imprenta de Yenes, 1837, 15,5 x 10,5 cm., pasta española de época, lomo muy rozado, 2 hojas + 376 págs. (Rara edición. La adición que contiene la noticia acerca de los vinos ocupan las últimas 19 páginas).
8vo., Third Edition thus, with coloured frontispiece, 18 coloured plates and 67 full-page monochrome photographs and illustrations in the text, some very light and inoffensive spotting (mainly marginal); original decorative green cloth elaborately blocked in gilt and black, backstrip blocked in gilt and black, neatly recased, covers a little age-soiled else a very good, bright, clean copy. Complete with front and rear advertisement endpapers, and 10pp advertisements following index. Many of the advertisements are illustrated. Isabella Beeton's final work, the 'Dictionary of Every-Day Cookery' was first published in 1865 and is second in importance only to 'Household Management'. Following her death in the same year, her husband's publishing house of S.O. Beeton was acquired by Ward Lock & Tyler [subsequently Ward Lock] who naturally set about reissuing all the 'Beeton' cookery titles. The 'Dictionary' was retitled initially the 'Every-Day Cookery and Housekeeping Book' and from 1907 'Mrs. Beeton's Every-Day Cookery'. The present work is, we believe, the third edition with this latter title and the last before Hermann Senn's major revision of 1923. 'Mrs. Beeton's Every-Day Cookery, as it now stands, contains one-third, or 200 pages, more than the previous edition, and is offered at the same price' [Preface]. Although greatly expanded, it is effectively the last edition based on the core text as Isabella herself compiled it. See Driver, p.102 and our own bibliography (in progress).

8vo., with coloured frontispiece, 11 coloured plates and 48 plates in monochrome, fore-edges very lightly dust-soiled; original decorative brown cloth, upper board and backstrip blocked in blind and lettered in black, a remarkably well-preserved copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter chafed (not affecting lettering) at head of backstrip. With advertisement front endpapers in sepia and 11pp of similar advertisements at end. 'All About Cookery' (first issued under this title in 1871) is a derivative of Isabella Beeton's final work 'The Dictionary of Cookery'. The 'Dictionary' was first published in 1865 and designed to full the gap between her classic (but highly-priced) 'Book of Household Management' and the cheaper 'Cookery'. A key feature of the work is the arrangement of its subject matter - recipes, menus, implements and so on - in alphabetical order for easy reference. It is her only work so presented and to our belief the first compilation of its kind. The Edwardian and Georgian editions are particularly comprehensive in their scope and coverage. SCARCE IN THE DUSTWRAPPER. See Driver, p.101 and our own bibliography (in progress). Cagle 563 cites the 1903 edition with fewer plates.

17,7×8,8 cm. Bellissima scena stereoscopica facente parte della rarissima serie detta delle “Diableries” realizzata intorno al 1860-70. Esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Questa carta ricostruisce la scena di una cena insieme a Satana all’Inferno con demoni, donne e scheletri che pasteggiano e bevono intorno ad una tavola imbandita. Dietro a Satana una donna seminuda suona un’arpa. Esemplare in buone-ottime condizioni di conservazione. Queste affascinanti e rare fotografie stereoscopiche vennero realizzate in Francia a partire dal 1860 circa e furono realizzate fino alla fine del XIX° secolo. Le carte raffigurano un intero immaginario sotterraneo, popolato da diavoli, satiri e scheletri intenti nella maggior parte dei casi a divertirsi o impegnati in lavori tipicamente umani. Le carte sono vere e proprie opere d’arte in sé. Conosciute come “french tissues”, furono ideate appositamente per consentire loro di essere visualizzate (in apparecchi stereoscopici) con un gioco di luci che trasformava, quando colpite da una luce diretta, le vedute in bianco e nero, in animate scene a colori tridimensionali. Rappresentarono all’epoca della loro realizzazione un importante innovazione visiva. La fotografia che riproduceva il reale era ora capace di mischiare finzione e realtà creando delle scene che a chi le guardava potevano sembrar esser prese dal vero. Le scenografie erano realizzate con grande umorismo tanto che si possono in parte considerare come le antesignane dei mondi fantasiosi realizzate per il cinema da Georges Méliès sul finire del XIX° secolo. Le scene raffiguranti queste “Diableries” furono realizzate con grande abilità artistica e artigianale in argilla da un piccolo gruppo di scultori che riuscirono a rendere estremamente veritiere le scene realizzate. Poste poi su un tavolo le opere venivano fotografavate con una macchina fotografica speciale ideata per realizzare stereoscopie. Le fotografie venivano poi impresse su carta all’albumina molto sottile. Il recto dell’albumina veniva poi in parte colorata. Un sottile velina veniva poi applicata dietro alle stesse per rendere i colori visibili solo quando la foto si trova con una fonte di luce al recto. Dei piccoli forellini venivano poi aggiunti per aumentare l’effetto visivo in corrispondenza degli occhi dei demoni e degli scheletri o in corrispondenza dei lampioni, lampadari e fuochi. Rarissima.
