Manuscript note in volume one: "Bought at Poynder Sale. June 1855. Sotheby. Lot 67. 1L. This is probably John Poynder (1779-1849) - but his very valuable library was apparently sold by Sotheby in 1850. 'Barnabae Itinerarium, or Barnabee's Journal' is the most famous of poet Richard Brathwaite's (1588?-1673). It appeared in 1638 under the pseudonym 'Corymbaeus.' It is a sparkling record of English travel, in Latin and English verse. It was neglected in its own age, but being reprinted under the title of 'Drunken Barnaby's Four Journeys,' achieved a considerable success during the eighteenth century, and is still in some vogue. The authorship was not ascertained until the publication of the seventh edition by Joseph Haslewood in 1818. Previously supposed authors were known as: Corymbaeus; Philogenes Pandonius; Musaeus Palatinus; Clitus-Alexandrinus. Southey pronounced the original the best piece of rhymed Latin in modern literature. There are great details of 17th century English social life, and drinking customs.

96 p. With Twenty-four full-color plates and 196 duotone illustrations. Large oblong folio. 39 x 53 cm. Original blue cloth binding. Dust wrapper with a few repaired tears. In the commentary Anthony Burgess laments "the loss of the romance of this splendid age, crushed in the rapacious maw of the industrial 19th century with its iron foundries, boilers, and coal smoke." He deftly employs quotation s from Fielding, Smollett, Johnson, Surtees, and Austin to animate the coaching world of Tom Jones and Mr. Jorrocks. The illustrations are drawn from a broad range of pictorial sources including Hogarth, Rowlandson, and the master of the coaching print - James Pollard. Many are (sadly?) suitable for framing. Though often thrown in with a lesser class of 'Coffee Table Book' this is really one of th e most compelling modern books on transportation life before the age of steam. "What a delightful thing's a turnpike road, So smooth, so level, such a mode of shaving the earth As scarce the eagle in the broad Air can accomplish with his wings waving: Has such been cut in Phaeton's time, the god Had told his son to satisfy his craving With the York Mail" -- Lord Byron, 'Don Juan' Canto X .

11 leaves (of 12? - No half title, if one was ever present). 21 cm. Modestly soiled. Leather backed cloth boards. Goldsmiths'-Kress Library of Economic Literature: No. 7170. In Fog's Journal, an early news sheet, there was a call (by way of historical allegory) for the assassination of Robert Walpole and others. Walpole, the Earl of Oxford (1676-1745), was really Britain's first Prime Minister. He governed through a time of relative peace and prosperity, but not without controversies. In 1733 Walpole's influence received a profound blow. Serious frauds relating to excise duties were uncovered. He proposed to check smuggling and avoid fraud by levying the full tax on wine and tobacco, not at their point of sale, but upon their first removal from the various warehouses. "His opponents fastened on these proposals with irresistible force, and so serious an agitation stirred the country that the ministerial measure was dropped amid general rejoicing. Several of his most active antagonists were dismissed from office or deprived of their regiments, but their spirits remained unquenched." - William Prideaux Courtney in the 11th Ed. EB. Though intended as a defense of Walpole, this pamphlet does not say that Fog's Weekly Journal was wrong to attack him - only that they overstepped their bounds by calling for his assassination. Juggling the power of political protest in the public press with freedom of speech was always a tricky affair. Responding in 1734 to the concerns of Queen Caroline over these, and other controversies Walpole said not to worry too much about it: "Madame, there are 50,000 men slain in Europe, and not one Englishman."

In Turkish. 4 volumes set: ([8], 338 p.; [8], 327 p.; [4], 292 p.; [4], 501 p.). Tom Jones: Sokakta bulunmus bir çocugun hikayesi. [= The history of Tom Jones; A foundling]. 4 volumes set. Translated to Turkish by Mina Urgan. The History of Tom Jones, a Foundling, often known simply as Tom Jones, is a comic novel by English playwright and novelist Henry Fielding. It is both a Bildungsroman and a picaresque novel. It was first published on 28 February 1749 in London, and is among the earliest English prose works to be classified as a novel. It is the earliest novel mentioned by W. Somerset Maugham in his 1948 book Great Novelists and Their Novels among the ten best novels of the world. Tom Jones is generally regarded as Fielding's greatest book and as an influential English novel. Urgan was a Turkish academic, translator, author and socialist politician. She translated works of Thomas Malory (c. 1415-1471), Henry Fielding (1707-1754), Honoré de Balzac (1799-1850), Aldous Huxley (1894-1963), Graham Greene (1904-1991), William Golding (1911-1993), John Galsworthy (1867-1933) and Shakespeare (1564-1616) into Turkish. She was honored with the "Golden Book Award" in 1993. For her work Virginia Woolf, she received the "Sedat Simavi Literature Award" in 1995, and the "Association of People of Letters Honor Award" in 1996. (Wikipedia). First Edition.

Douglas William Jerrold (1803-1857) was an English dramatist and writer who, from the 1830s to 1850s, was absolutely at the centre of literary London. A friend of Dickens and Thackeray, both pall-bearers at his funeral. Jerrold was an editor, playwright, journalist, novelist and public wit and among the most popular writers in Britain. It was 'Mrs Caudle's Curtain Lectures' that really captured the public's imagination. Serialized in Punch, they were lively studies of female domination in Victorian society. The illustrations here by Charles Kenne (1823-1891), who began to draw for Punch in 1852, are considered a masterpiece in book illustration. Ray.

"'Vindiciae Gallicae' was published in April 1791 in answer to Burke's 'Reflections' Three editions were speedily sold, and the publisher liberally gave Mackintosh 'several times' the sum of L30, originally stipulated. Burke had been answered with much power by Thomas Paine. Mackintosh's reply, however, taking a less radical ground, and showing much literary and philosophical culture, was the most effective defense of the position of the Whig sympathizers with the revolution. It was partly translated into French by the Duke of Orleans". [DNB]. ** PRICE JUST REDUCED!! FRENG 2

Vans Agnew Maitland May, 1887 on front paste downs. Elphinstone Vans Agnew (1856-1904) was a member of the Scottish gentry. 'Beauchamp's Career' is a novel which portrays life and love in upper-class Radical circles and satirises the Conservative establishment. Meredith himself was inclined to think it his best novel, and the character Renee de Croisnel was his favourite of his creations. Some call it one of the finest political novels in English.
