He also states that 'The Mitchell Library copy has a pencil note: 200 printed in George Robertson's hand-writing'. In spite of this comment and the 181 subscribers' names in our experience the book is not as rare as these figures would suggest. The fact that this item is essentially the same as Ferguson 9807 with the Galbraith imprint under the gold blocking carrying the Wigg imprint and the Wigg binder's label on the rear pastedown leads us to suspect that the answer has something to do with this change of publisher after the book was printed.

Holmes' 'Song' p. 33. 12mo. 6-5/8" x 4-3/8" <br/><br/>This dinner was sponsored by a committee of 'Young Men of Boston' who had extended their invitation to the also young but already famous author before he left England. The dinner was held in Papanti's Hall with Josiah Quincy Jr as Chair who was ably assisted by Oliver Wendell Holmes & Nathan Hale Jr; the young James T. Fields was a guest. Also in attendance was "Josiah Quincy Sr the president of Harvard Washington Allston the poet & artist; George Bancroft the Historian & Richard Henry Dana Jr. . Letters were read from Prescott Washington Irving William Ellery Channing Judge Story and others regretting their inability to be there." In his remarks Dickens introduced the subject of International Copyright a topic dear to his heart if not those in attendance. This was one of the first salvos in a battle that was to rage for decades and the local papers were not slow to respond saying Dickens' remarks were in bad taste for a social gathering & charged him with creating a "huge dissonance". Evidently the future prominent Boston publisher Mr Fields thought Nevermind with respect to the copyright issue for he is known to have written shortly thereafter "Was there ever such a night before in our staid city" and he would later become a staunch friend to and publisher of the 'Inimitable'. cf. Johnson. DICKENS pp. 374-376. After the dinner Dickens wrote Forster "It was a most superb affair and the speaking admirable." Per Fielding Dickens "left Boston on 5 February with happier memories of his visit there than of anywhere else in America when four months later he returned to England." Fielding.

19249517London: Fleetway Press 1924. Folio. pp. 55 four panel folding plate by Frank Brangywn showing slight adhesion damage. Decorative printed boards designed by MacDonald Gill who also designed the double-page map on pp. 20-21 The world in the time of Cabot. Some wear to covers with an indentation to lower cover where the book has been at the bottom of a pile tied tightly with string. This is one of the examples of the book presented by the LNER specifically by the Distrtict Passenger Manager at Newcastle-on-Tyne who has filled in the appropriate space on the first page.

With the original "Two Sample Pages" in black paper folder and the publisher's four-page prospectus. A mint as new set.<br /> <br /> A magnificent facsimile of the Golden Cockerel Press Canterbury Tales 1929-31 widely regarded as one of the greatest achievements of twentieth-century private press printing. This Folio Society production faithfully recreates the scale typography and mise-en-page of the original preserving the remarkable integration of text and image conceived by Gibbings and Gill.<br /> <br /> Gill's wood engravings - bold architectural and deeply expressive - rank among his most important book illustrations bringing a modern vitality to Geoffrey Chaucer's great pilgrimage narrative. The present edition printed on fine laid paper and bound in full goatskin succeeds not merely as a reproduction but as a worthy modern counterpart to the Golden Cockerel original.<br /> <br /> The accompanying essay volume by Holliday offers a detailed examination of the book's decoration and design further enhancing the set's bibliographical interest while the inclusion of the rarely preserved prospectus and sample leaves adds an additional layer of completeness and appeal.<br /> <br /> Examples of the original Golden Cockerel Press Canterbury Tales are now firmly in the realm of major private press collecting. This facsimile - particularly in such pristine condition and with its ancillary material intact - offers a compelling alternative: a museum-quality presentation of one of the defining illustrated books of the twentieth century at a fraction of the cost.
