Hodges at the Looking-Glass over against St. Magnus-Church London-Bridge 1754. 1754. Two imprints in two volumes comprising a complete set of the fourth edition which includes works not by Prior namely Hildebrand Jacob's notorious erotic poem 'The Curious Maid'.

Engraved frontispieces to each volume plus three integral engraved plates by Van Gucht to vol. 2 numerous woodcut headpieces tailpieces drop capitals and ornaments to both volumes. Collated and complete. Uniformly bound in contemporary marbled calf spines on five raised bands ornamented in gilt to compartments lettered in gilt to red and camel morocco spine labels gilt rolls to edges; all edges marbled; marbled end-papers; blue silk place-markers to both volumes. Minor shelf-wear to extremities minor loss to head of volume 1 leather cracking a little on spine but bindings strong and very solid. Contents clean. An excellent set. A two-volume set of poetic miscellanies predominantly of the works of Matthew Prior 1664�1721 but with a curious amatory section to the end of volume two. Prior was a poet statesman and Tory ally to Robert Harley and the Scriblerians. His biographer states that his primary interests were 'women collecting friends a country estate and writing.' He was 'arguably the most important poet writing in English between the death of Dryden 1700 and the poetic majority of Pope in 1712'. He proved a continually popular entry in miscellanies a form of publication which gathered together various works sometimes on a theme. This set is a rather curious miscellany while dominated by Prior's works approximately the final third of volume 2 consists of 'Original Poems and Translations by Various Hands' - a deliberately vague title to a truly varied selection of poetry. A reader's interest may have been piqued by the first poem in the section Hildebrand Jacob's amatory verse on female auto-eroticism 'The Curious Maid' often misattributed to Prior which is accompanied by an engraved plate of a woman using a mirror to peek under her own skirts. What follows are a series of amatory bawdy and controversial works many laden with innuendo as in 'The Silent Flute: Or the Members Speech to their Soveraign' sic. while others use the tried-and-true guise of classical translation to depict scenes of 'heaving breasts and extended thighs'. Other poems in the collection are on less lurid but still interesting topics: Bedlam snuff marriage politics and the manners of the day. The title rather overstates the 'original' nature of the works: they mostly appear to be printed from earlier sources but their gathering together here nonetheless places these poems in new contexts. Miscellanies were an important venue for erotic amatory and controversial works indeed much of John Wilmot Earl of Rochester's poetry was first published in miscellanies by Edmund Curll. This set appears to be scarce with all the plates and represents an interesting combination of respectable mainstream and clandestine verse. ESTC T75658. ODNB. London; Printed for J. and R.

An exquisitely beautiful edition. Limited and hand-numbered edition of 980 copies and 20 lettered copies hors de commerce this copy is no. 128. The text follows the original edition with these illustrations published by Hodder and Stoughton in 1825. As Marina Warner explains in the illuminating essay written for this edition "the translator and the selection aren't identified but some of the stories appear to be taken directly from Edgar Taylor's 1823 volumes and others from an anthology published in 1853 called 'Household Stories' . anonymously translated." Kay Neilsen 1886-1957 came to prominence at the end of a period of great illustrators including Rackham and Dulac and though his work shows traces of their influence there is a sharper more disturbing edge. He later worked for Walt Disney studios where he contributed to the great 'Fantasia' 1940. "There is no more beautiful book than Kay Neilsen's 'Hansel and Gretel' pale symbols melting into paler backgrounds; planes of action successive stages of one idea bordering on expressionism." from a 1926 review in 'The Outlook' Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request.

1824531York County Pennsylvania 1824. Oblong 12mo. 88 pp. Contemporary calf backed wall-paper covered boards; binding rubbed at edges with minor loss of paper and leather otherwise very good. Eichelberger's account book contains a list of expenses as well as income relating to the Eichelberger farm. Entries are organized chronologically and list the item received or service performed as well as the price paid for the item or service. Eichelberger listed prices in both dollars and pounds. Typical expenses include the hiring of farm hands food often dried pork county taxes and the digging of a well. Eichelberger records far more income than expenses. He sold a number of items including wheat apples beef rye and animal fat. Eichelberger provided board to a widow by the name of Miller. Perhaps the most interesting sources of Eichelberger's income are the animals he sold. Between 1806 and 1809 Eichelberger records the sale of 86 horses accounting for the vast majority of his income during those years. He also records the sale of a few steer sheep and hogs but never in quantities as great as the horses. Several pages of the book record Eichelberger's duties as the executor of the will of his father George Allen Eichelberger. These entries list the name of the beneficiary the amount of the estate granted them and the date on which the transaction took place. The final entry in the book which is chronologically out of place and dated 1807 records Eichelberger's activities following the death of his father such as traveling to Carlisle for the reading of the will and appraisal of the estate. Curiously the entries in which the estate is divided among the beneficiaries are dated between 1824 and 1825--seventeen years after the initial reading of the will. This hints at the protracted probate disputes and complications involved in executing a will in the early nineteenth century. Also of note in this book is the inexplicable changes in the way Eichelberger spelled his name. In the earliest entries of the book it is spelled "Echelberger" then appears as "Eichelberger" and finally beginning around 1810 appears as "Higleberger". While the record book mentions no place names other than Carlisle a prosperous farm family by the name of Eichelberger resided in York County Pennsylvania for many years in the eighteenth century. It is very likely that Jacob was a member of this Pennsylvania-German family. unknown

Some browning and brownspots to plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing of this milestone papers in the history of chemistry where Berzelius introduced his famous chemical symbolism the offered paper is the first on the subject - Leicester & Klickstein calls it the "Preliminary note whereby an element is generally represented by the first letter of its Latin name or in the event of elements having the same first letter by the first two letters. Even though his atomic symbols were introduced in 1813 see the note on p. 359 it was quite a few years before Berzelius's symbols were adopted by the chemistry community. But once accepted they became the new international language of chemistry. Berzelius "contributed more to the development of the atomic theory and to the setting up of accurate values of the atomic weights than did any other worker of the time. Of his contributions moreover to the development of the atomic theory and the advancement of chemical science not the least valuable was the introduction of a chemical symbolism which with slight modification is in use at the present day. By giving his symbols a quantitative meaning - the symbol of an element representing one atomic proportion by weight - it was possible "to show briefly and clearly the number of elementary atoms in each compound and after the determination of their relative weights present the results of each analysis in a simple and easely retained manner". This symbolism was speedily adopted on the Continent but in England only after some considerable time."Findlay "A Hundred Years of Chemistry" p. 14.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1813 C. - Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258 ff. - Holmberg 1813:28 a. </em> hardcover

An interesting work on wheel bearings for vehicles mill work blocks pendulums etc. Rowe states in his preface that his improvements stem from his understanding of the principles of bearing construction in particular that the weight carried by a bearing rather than the contact area is the limiting factor in trying to reduce the friction of a bearing. He describes the use of friction wheels supporting the main axle whose axles in turn rest on other friction wheels. This system though not widely adopted was used in Atwoods machine. - Roger Gaskill.
