179340126London: R. Blamire 1793. First edition. Two volumes. 8vo. iv viii 299 1; iv iv 215 1 70 2 pp. Untrimmed in original drab boards with printed spine labels. Small losses to the original spine labels some light wear and marking to the covers else very good. Upcott p.281. Includes the errata page with a list of plates on the verso at the rear of volume II. However the printed notice regarding the destruction of the plates prior to publication is wanting as are the two leaves containing the contents to the appendix. Given the volumes are in their original unsophisticated bindings and evidently nothing has been cut out we can assume these leaves were never bound in and the books are in their earliest states.

177400009390London: J. Lister for T. Becket and P A. de Hondt 1774. First English language edition. Hardcover. Very Good. 5 vol. 8vo. 6 vii-xviii 1 20-342; 4 3-386; 6 iii-viii 2 3-400; 5 4-399 1 page of publisher's advertisements; 6 3-416 pp. Contemporary full calf spines in six compartments each with a red morocco label lettered in gilt and with a second smaller red morocco label with the volume number in gilt; all edges decoratively stained bright yellow. Volume three illustrated with the publisher's device on the title page. Nineteenth-century bookplate in each volume an engraving of a hawk perched on a branch with the name William Tector below it. First editions of all volumes; the first two volumes are the 1767 editions translated largely by Thornton and credited to him volumes three and four are the 1772 editions translated by Richard Warner and credited to him and the fifth volume first published in 1774 was also translated by and credited to Warner. Thornton provided translations for a majority of the plays in the first two volumes and collected notes from himself and from various classical scholars of the day for his translation. Thornton died before he could complete his translation of the twenty plays so Warner finished the work. Brueggemann 459. Moss 468. Oxford Classical Dictionary 1194-1196. Smith 254. Smith cites a quote from H.T. Riley in Bohn's Classical Library edition of this work: "As a poetical work it is impossible to speak of it in other than terms of admiration.". This is the first complete edition of Plautus' twenty comedies and his fragments to be translated into English. In the British Monthly Review for July 1774 the set is called "a very ingenious and respectable translation . recommended to the public as a valuable acquisition to the classics in the English language .". Plautus' plays are the earliest Latin works to have survived complete. Twenty complete plays are known to have been written by him with fragments from others surviving. His plots portray love affairs misunderstandings or the swapping of identities and many of his plays are known to be influenced or adapted from Greek New Comedy. Plautus' comedy incorporates metatheatrical references and the expansion of stock characters' roles. Plautus enjoyed portraying Roman patriarchs as villains and captive slaves as roguish comedic heroes. He remains a staple of classical curricula today with his plays often being the most humorous of a course's required readings. A handsome example of this important set. A Very Good set with minor foxing to the preliminaries the boards show minor wear to the joints bindings firm and secure and a few small areas of darkening to the front board of volume one. J. Lister for T. Becket and P A. de Hondt hardcover

175853321758 Thomas More UTOPIA Socialism Politics Dystopian Marxism Warner Memoir<br />"how can anyone be silly enough to think himself better than other people because his clothes are made of finer woolen thread than theirs. After all those fine clothes were once worn by a sheep and they never turned it into anything better than a sheep." ― Thomas More Utopia <br />Thomas More was one of the most important Catholic philosophers of the late 15th-century. He is remembered for his work 'Utopia' a famous book depicting a fictional island society with its own social religious and political customs. 'Utopia' and More's other works were highly influential to Anabaptists communism and social Marxism. Many aspects of 'Utopia' describe life in a monastery yet still More seems to be criticizing European society – which he considered to have many problems. More a devout Catholic writes of controversial topics which those on the island of Utopia practiced such as divorce euthanasia married priests and female priests. These practices were widely opposed within the Catholic faith but More cites them as commonplace in his writing.<br />'Utopia' is even polarizing in terms of modern politics. It seems to have been influential to Anabaptists communism and social Marxism. Though 'the answer implied by "Utopia" was that political realities must be changed in order to free men." "More was claiming that community pressure could be made to correspond to and to endorse conscience and the way to achieve this was through institutional and legal regulation supervision and control…the environment of the monastery." Davis 57-58.<br />In the 18th-century Church of England clergyman Ferdinando Warner published a memoir of the life of Thomas More in which he supplemented the memoir with 'Utopia'.<br />Item number: #5332Price: $795<br />WARNER Ferdinando<br />Memoirs of the life of Sir Thomas More lord high chancellor of England in the reign of Henry VIII.
