1796LTH23-A-2York: J. Robson et al 1796. Leather. Very Good Indeed. 10.5" by 9". None. A first edition of this collection of biographies by Isaac Walton. Illustrated throughout with numerous plates. Including biographies of Dr John Donne Sir Henry Wotton Mr Richard Hooker Mr George Herbert and Dr Robert Sanderson. It was probably as an angler that Walton made the acquaintance of Sir Henry Wotton. Sir Henry Wotton dying in 1639 Walton undertook his life also; it was finished in 1642 and published in 1651. His life of Hooker was published in 1662 that of George Herbert in 1670 and that of Bishop Robert Sanderson in 1678. All these subjects were endeared to the biographer by a certain gentleness of disposition and cheerful piety; three of them at least Donne Wotton and Herbert were anglers. Their lives were evidently written with loving pains in the same leisurely fashion as his Angler and like it are of value less as exact knowledge than as harmonious and complete pictures of character. An edition of Walton's Lives by G Sampson appeared in 1903. Rebound in half-morocco. Externally very smart. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright and generally clean with just some scattered light spotting and marginal tidemarks to the frontispiece. Very Good Indeed J. Robson et al hardcover

Robert Blakley praises it as an excellent work "metaphysics carried with every day life and practice." Samuel Johnson writes "Few books have been perused by me with greater pleasure than Watts' Improvement of the Mind of which the radical principles may indeed be found in Locke’s Conduct of the Understanding; but they are so expanded and ramified by Watts as to confer on him the merit of a work in the highest degree useful and pleasing.

References: ESTC T107442; <br /><br />The Greek poets of the Hellenistic period following the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BCE and lasting three hundred years until the establishment of the Roman Empire have a reputation for indulging in an ornate and sometimes opaque style that we would later associate with Mannerist poets like Gongora or Marino. Lycophron's Alexandra or Cassandra may be the epitome of that style. Even Alexandrian scholars of the time referred to it as "the obscure poem." Wikipedia quotes a modern critic who says the Alexandra "may be the most illegible piece of classical literature one which nobody can read without a proper commentary and which even then makes very difficult reading." That must be why in the opening line the poet says "I will spell out everything clearly whatever you ask from the very beginning." The Wiki article continues "The poem is evidently intended to display the writer's knowledge of obscure names and uncommon myths; it is full of unusual words of doubtful meaning gathered from the older poets and long-winded compounds coined by the author. . It was very popular and was read and commented on very frequently. Two explanatory paraphrases of the poem survive and the collection of scholia by Isaac and John Tzetzes is very valuable." The Oxford edition by John Potter later Archbishop of Canterbury offered here includes the Tzetzes scholia as well as an exuberant Latin version of the poem by Joseph Scaliger first published in 1566 when Scaliger was 25 years old and notes by Scaliger's friend Willem Canter. Potter first published the text in 1697 but only this second edition bears his dedicatory epistle to the German classical scholar who taught at Utrecht Johann Georg Graevius.

Early American Jewish merchants Isaac Moses & Sons operated on Greenwich Street.Isaac Moses 1742-1818 was born in Giessen Germany but moved to New York in 1764 and in 1766 he became a “freeman†of New York City. He became a prominent businessman and American patriot. He worked in his uncle's Hayman Levy's mercantile firm until he established Isaac Moses & Company with two new business partners in 1775. This firm supported the revolutionary army by accepting $20000 in Continental paper dollars in exchange for $20000 in hard currency thereby financing the war effort.
