1830ST20481-05London: John Murray 1830. FIRST EDITION. 220 x 130 mm. 8 5/8 x 5 1/8". 2 p.l. ii v-xix 1 411 1 pp. <br/> Agreeable contemporary black morocco covers with an elaborate border in gilt and blind of numerous straight and decorative rules and scrolling foliate cornerpieces raised bands gilt in compartments with a central ornament in blind turn-ins tooled in gilt all edges gilt. Carefully rebacked retaining original spine hinges neatly reinforced with buckram. WITH A FORE-EDGE PAINTING DEPICTING A LANDSCAPE WITH A VERY LARGE CASTLE AND LAKE. With 13 pages of charts. Corners bumped and exposed a handful of scratches to the front cover; occasional spots and soiling internally other trivial defects but still quite a good copy the bulk of the text extremely clean and fresh with a well-preserved fore-edge painting.<br/> <br/> This is a pleasing copy with an attractive fore-edge painting of the final work of Scottish mathematician and economist Robert Hamilton 1743-1829. A professor at the University of Aberdeen and one of the founders of Edinburgh's Royal Society Hamilton wrote this work of political economy shortly before his passing and it was published posthumously. It treats of the relationship between economic principles and the development of social life and is considered perhaps second in importance only to his "Essay on the National Debt" issued in 1813. The fore-edge painting depicts a serene landscape with sailboat gliding across a smooth lake in front of a castle and tree-studded hills. The artist has rendered the details with subtlety for example the castle is faintly reflected in the lake and the scene as a whole is brigher and richer in color than might be expected.

1843ST20616London: Tilt and Bogue 1843. 207 x 135 mm. 8 1/8 x 5 5/8". Two volumes. With a memoir and critical remarks by James Montgomery. <br/> Pleasing contemporary burgundy pebble-grain morocco gilt covers with graceful frame of cresting roll accented with lancets large lyre centerpiece with leafy flourishes and small birds raised bands spine compartments densely gilt gilt lettering gilt turn-ins all edges gilt. WITH LOVELY FORE-EDGE PAINTINGS BY THE "DOVER PAINTER" one of Milton's cottage at Chalfont and the other of St. Giles Church Cripplegate. With decorative engraved initials and 95 engraved vignettes after drawings by William Harvey. Weber "Annotated Dictionary of Fore-edge Painting Artists & Binders" pp. 98-103. Muir "Victorian Illustrated Books" p. 28. Spines gently and evenly sunned joints and extremities a little rubbed one margin with faint paint trail from fore-edge painter's brush other trivial imperfections but A VERY APPEALING COPY internally clean and fresh in solid bindings with bright gilt and the fore-edge paintings especially well preserved.<br/> <br/> This copy of Milton's collected poems is very attractively illustrated inside and out with an extremely skillful painting by a famous artist adorning each of the fore edges. Designed by William Harvey 1796-1866 who Muir tells us was "the longest lived and most important of Bewick's pupils" the engravings here range from charming figural initials to writhing residents of Hell in their smoky abyss to gentle-faced angels bathed in beams of light. The fore-edge paintings are recognizable as the work of the so-called "Dover Painter" the name given by Jeff Weber to the artist who produced very high quality painted fore edges in the 1920s and 1930s for the famous London bookseller Marks & Company. These two depict Milton's cottage and his final resting place St. Giles' Church in London. The cottage is depicted in an idyllic scene of Milton's time with aproned peasants milling about the ivy-covered building under the shade of the trees that frame the scene. The other painting shows a lively urban street: the church's venerable structure is flanked by bustling shops visited by gentlemen with fashionable canes while the smoke from the chimneys trails upward into the cloudy sky. These clouds and the trees surrounding the cottage are particularly demonstrative of our artist's distinctive style of applying dabs of paint a technique that almost suggests a quasi-pointillism. Taken together the substantial content lovely contemporary red morocco bindings and finely executed and well-preserved fore-edge paintings combine to make up a set of considerably seductive appeal.

1805ST19580London: Printed for F. C. and J. Rivington et al. 1805. 238 x 145 mm. 9 3/8 x 5 3/4". 10 volumes. Edited by George Steevens and Alexander Chalmers. <br/> EXTREMELY PRETTY CONTEMPORARY DEEP PURPLE STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO VERY ELABORATELY DECORATED IN GILT AND BLIND covers with frame featuring heavy gilt stippling and tooling spine compartments densely gilt gilt-rolled turn-ins leather hinges all edges gilt. EACH VOLUME WITH AN ATTRACTIVE FORE-EDGE PAINTING featuring scenic views of waterways bridges cottages and castles and one figurative scene. With frontispiece portrait engraved ornament pasted down on title page apparently to cover up the mention of the engravings which this set was evidently issued without. A Large Paper Copy. Jaggard p. 510; Lowndes IV 2264. Just a hint of wear to joints and extremities and this expertly refurbished a small gouge on rear board of volume I internally with occasional mild browning scattered foxing and stains but the bindings lustrous and glittering with gold the fore-edge paintings well preserved and the interiors clean and fresh. AN EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE COPY OF QUITE A SPECIAL ITEM.<br/> <br/> Enriched with learned essays and commentary this handsome printing of Steevens' acclaimed edition of Shakespeare's dramatic works comes in a lovely contemporary binding with later--but impressive--fore-edge paintings. Our set is the 10-volume version of Steevens printed on royal octavo paper a slightly less desirable nine-volume set on thinner octavo paper was also available. While the set was offered with plates the professionally printed and applied engraved ornaments covering the title page reference to engravings suggests that the publisher also sold sets without them auction records bear out this theory. The original owner may have chosen to save money on plates so he could splash out on the present richly gilt full morocco bindings that make an impressive appearance on the shelf. Then that owner or more likely a somewhat later one commissioned the paintings of the 10 fore edges. These are richly detailed crispy executed compositions mainly showing exterior scenes featuring castles or old city buildings. Although they do not necessarily have a clear connection with any individual play in any specific volume they do communicate the feeling of the period of Shakespeare's life. And most important they are skillfully done by an unusually deft painter. Steevens 1736-1800 had originally published his revision of Johnson's edition of Shakespeare in 1773 the revision being praised by Lowndes as combining "the native powers of Dr. Johnson with the activity sagacity and antiquarian learning of . . . Steevens." Volume I contains prefaces by Pope Johnson and Chalmers a sketch of Shakespeare's life by Chalmers Shakespeare's will and a history of the stage by Malone. Considered in all its aspects--as an esteemed edition of the bard's works as a gloriously decorated set on the shelf and as 10 expert fore-edge paintings--this item has much to recommend it.
