18013865<p>A scarce book of country excursions taking in some of the most striking landscapes and great houses within a day's journey of Bath. Three excursions are presented in the course of four letters with each excursion illustrated with a small part-page engraved map. The author describes in detail the landscapes cities and great houses along the way with plentiful information about the history of the towns gardens and architecture visited. Of particular note are Longleat Stourhead Fonthill and Wardour Castle. 'I am now to introduce you to one of the most splendid mansions in the kingdom Fonthill the seat of Mr. Beckford; where expence has reached its utmost limits in furniture and ornaments; where every room is a gold mine and every apartment a picture-gallery' p. 119. The description of Beckford's library is alas rather brief: 'The library is a large room filled with choice and expensive books; and decorated with appropriate paintings on the ceiling' p. 126.</p><p>Warner also visits 'new' Wardour Castle - it was built in the 1770s - and gives a room by room commentary of the architecture furniture and paintings. Or particular interest is his description of the chapel: 'From this apartment we are carried into the western gallery of the <em>chapel</em>; a structure that displays superlative taste and magnificence. Crimson furniture and gilded ornaments produce an immediate striking <em>coup d' œil; </em>but when the decorations are examined individually the splendour and expence become more perceptible. Three immense pictures by Rubens cover the southern wall of the chapel; and one by this artist and another by Guido of the same majestic size are their opposite companions. The altar-piece is a Dead Christ by Cades. A large gallery is constructed at the western end superbly fitted up for Lord Arundel and his party; a second at the east end of the north side for the choir; and a third at the east end of the north side for the accommodation of visiters sic. Benches occupy the middle of the chapel for the reception of the domestics and such of the villagers as profess the Romish faith; for there is a Catholic seminary here the pupils of which punctually attend at morning and evening prayers. The eastern end of the chapel recedes into a semi-circular form through the windows of which light is admitted; but as these are placed high and consist of coloured glass the effect is extremely striking and solemn. The central window exhibits Angels and the awful Tetragrammaton from which is an emanation of glory. Brought forward from the eastern end sufficiently to allow the processions around it stands the Altar a most costly piece of workmanship fixed on a splendid sarcophagus of ebony; and constructed of porphyry agate and amber. A magnificent crucifix of silver surmounts the altar; and two censers of solid gold embossed with silver suspended over it pour through the chapel odiferous clouds of ever-burning frankincense. Every thing around indeed evinces that the Romish ritual is observed here with the utmost vigour and magnificence; and doubtless the celebration of its higher offices amid such seducing objects must act with infinite force upon the imagination. The effect produced by the <em>externals</em> of worship every man experiences who attends our Cathedral service which has not been stripped of so much of its <em>lace</em> as the common parochial ritual; how much then must this be increased when aided by exquisite examples of sculpture and painting; amid the strains of angelical music the glare of unnumbered lights and the Hallelujahs of numerous multitudes! The tamest fancy must be roused by such a scene and the coldest heart warmed into transport … It is but proper to add that the attendance of strangers at the service in Wardour chapel is considered as a compliment and every convenience provided for their accommodation' pp. 137-141.</p><p>Richard Warner was an antiquary and an Anglican clergyman originally from the coastal town of Lymington in Hampshire. He became curate to Wililam Gilpin whose influence can be clearly seen in the present work dedicated to walking and the natural beauties of the west country. Warner obtained his first position in Bath in 1794 and remained there for some years writing a number of topographical works and a gothic novel <em>Netley Abbey</em> 1795 inspired by local ruins. He was a friend of Wordsworth who collected Warner's picturesque writings alongside those of Gilpin and who is known to have dined with him in Bath. In his lifetime Warner was mostly known for his controversial pacifist sermons and writings: it is thought that Blake was referring to Warner in the lines 'ask him if he is Bath or if he is Canterbury' in Jerusalem as claimed by David Erdman.</p><p>Although this copy is in a later nineteenth century binding and was bound without the half-title a previous owner - possibly from the 1840s or 1850s perhaps contemporaneous with the binding and the newspaper cutting - has added an engraved portrait a Latin celebration of Bath an engraving of Farleigh Castle and a newspaper cutting referring to Paul Methuen of Corsham.</p><p>OCLC lists BL University of Edinburgh the Natural History Museum and the Rubenianum in Antwerp only.</p> Crutwell & G.G. and J.

1875724Chicago: Warner & Beers 1875. 17 x 14 1/2 inches. Very good condition. This map is a period original lithograph that was hand colored at the time of publication. The states are composed to form a regional context for inclusion in a county atlas. The map is handsomely appointed with a pastel color scheme that designates individual counties. Each county is named. The railroad network was quite comprehensive in 1875 and is nicely selected on the map. Lakes superior and Michigan are shown in their entirety. Lake Huron is partially shown. This is a fine example of the mapmakers art during the last half of the 18th century. Warner & Beers unknown
1875726chicago: Warner & Beers 1875. 17 x 13 3/4 inches. Very good condition. This is a very handsomely composed map of the Southeast United States. It covers North Carolina South Carolina Georgia and Florida. The map was hand colored at the time of publication. It captures each county using a distinctive pastel color scheme. The nations railroad network was extensive and through the state of Georgia. The state of Florida shows a less dense network and non-existent network in south Florida. the lands that far south were not habitable year round and consequently less economic development to support year-around rail operations. This is a fine example of the mapmakers art in the latter half of the 19th century. Warner & Beers unknown
1872194Chicago: Warner & Beers 1872. 17 1/4 x 13 3/4 inches. Very good. Comprehensive presentation of the states of the Middle Atlantic and the Upper Ohio River Belly. Included are Lakes Ontario Erie and Huron. The railroad network is graphically integrated into a finely detailed county colored scheme. Warner & Beers unknown
1875201Chicago: H. H. Lloyd 1875. 17 1/4 x 13 3/4. Very good. Beautifully composed layout of the Atlantic regions from the riverine settlements on the St. Lawrence River to the State of Connecticut and Long Island. It is rarely that the concept of "New England States" is so well illustrated. While the political boarders dominate the landscape this map makes it easy to visualize the commercial connectivity of the Upper Atlantic Coast. H. H. Lloyd unknown
1872286Chicago: Warner & Beers 1872. 17 1/4 x 14 1/4 inches. Very good. Beautiful map of the Northern Plains States. The county formation in the Dakota Territory is much more advanced over the previous year's Warner Higgins and Beers map. The same goes for Minnesota and Nebraska except to a lesser degree. One might say that this map provides a snapshot of the agricultural frontier of the period. Warner & Beers unknown
