Folio:. 32.7 x 21.7 cm. . 12 804 809-1351 1354-1403 43 pp. Collation: AⶠB-6Fâ¶. with blank A6 and without blank 6F6 This is a very fine copy in contemporary calfskin ruled in gold with decorative tools at the corners of the central compartment and a fine arabesque at the center of the boards gilt.

A woodcut portrait of Queen Elizabeth is printed on the verso of the title page; a second portrait of Livy is printed on A4 verso. This is the first complete rendering into English of the most important Roman historian. The scholar-surgeon Philemon Holland is one of the great literary figures of the twilight years of the Elizabethan age. Like his contemporary John Florio who translated Montaigne’s “Essays†into English in 1599 Holland not only made the works that he translated accessible to English readers but also put his own stamp on those works creating something at once faithful and new. The translations provided a wealth of material for English writers; it is possible that Shakespeare himself read Holland’s “Livy†See Muir The sources of Shakespeare’s plays 1977 p. 238 “Holland's first book the first complete rendering of Livy into English was published in 1600 when he was nearly fifty. It was a work of great importance presented in a grand folio volume of 1458 pages and dedicated to the queen. The translation set out to be lucid and unpretentious and achieved its aim with marked success. It is accurate and often lively and although it does not attempt to imitate the terseness of Latin it avoids prolixity. As part of his book Holland translated two other substantial works—an ancient epitome of Roman history that provides an outline of the lost books of Livy and Bartolomeo Marliani's guide to the topography of Rome—as well as some smaller texts. These were taken from the edition of Livy published in Paris in 1573; by translating them Holland was making available in English a great learned compendium of historical knowledge not simply a single ancient author.â€ODNB Livy’s “History†"Livy's narrative began with the mythic origins of Rome that is with Aeneas' flight from Troy and came down to the death of Drusus Augustus' stepson in Germany in 9 BC. It is possible that Livy's plan interrupted by his death was to reach the death of Augustus in AD 14. "Several times both in the preface and elsewhere Livy refers to the fact that for him the narrating of Rome's glorious past is a refuge from the distress he feels when he comes to narrating more recent and contemporary events the civil war between Caesar and Pompey the subsequent war waged by Octavian soon to be the first Roman emperor Augustus against Marc Antony and Cleopatra. Although he recognizes that the crisis is epochal rather than episodic Livy refuses to focus on that alone; rather he strives to view it within the general context of Roman history. "When Livy turns his gaze to the more than seven centuries that have brought Rome a small city of Latium to mastery of the world he shows reverence almost dismay before such vast time and vast achievements. In evoking that immense journey he feels the pressure of history the weight of the influence that the images of the past exercise upon the consciousness of the present time. These images act as models of social and individual behavior positive and negative; they are invitations to virtue and warnings against wickedness. The mythology of the past in short not only has meaning for contemporary men but also gives meaning to their actions in that it can illustrate through examples their own ideological needs.â€Conte STC 16613; Pforzheimer 495; Luborsky & Ingram English illustrated books 1536-1603 16613 Adam Islip, unknown books

1776WRCAM36226London: Printed for Robt. Sayer and John Bennett August 17 1776. Engraved map consisting of eight folio sheets backed on linen 54 1/2 x 21 3/4 inches with contemporary color outlining and shading of some boundaries and geographic features. Slightly soiled occasional minor stains a few old repairs no loss of text. In a brown cloth slipcase. A very good copy. This famous map is one of the best for the provinces of New York and New Jersey during the colonial period. It is the fourth state described by McCorkle following versions published circa 1768 in 1775 and earlier in 1776. "The map includes western Connecticut and Massachusetts and most of Vermont. In 1775 the title became 'The Provinces of New York and New Jersey; with part of Pensilvania and the Province of Quebec'.Three insets were added in this state: A chart of the mouth of the Hudson River; A plan of the City of New York; Plan of Amboy.The following year the date changed to 1776. Later in the same year the title was extended to include 'Corrected and improved from the original materials by Govern.r Pownall' and Holland's rank was given as Major" - McCorkle. The present copy is the final version described by McCorkle. <br> <br> THE PROVINCES OF NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY is in effect a large-scale map of the Hudson River and its tributaries including the Mohawk and settlement in New York is almost entirely confined to the banks of the Hudson and Mohawk rivers. The unexplored Adirondack County is left almost entirely blank with a lengthy notation that begins "Beaver Hunting Country of the Confederated Indians." Pennsylvania extends north into western New York state almost as far as the Mohawk Vermont is shown attached to New York with each existing township identified and the map extends north into Quebec beyond Montreal. Interesting notations on the country are scattered across the face of the map. For instance in Pennsylvania an area with little detail is simply noted as "endless mountains." The map is beautifully decorated with a pastoral title cartouche suggestive of the Hudson Palisades in the lower right corner. <br> <br> The map was created by Samuel Holland Surveyor General for the Northern District of North America. As a result of the French and Indian War 1755-63 Great Britain had acquired a new American Empire for which there were few adequate maps. Two new offices of surveyor general for the American colonies were established in 1763-64. The colonies were divided at the Potomac River into a northern and southern district and the respective surveyors appointed were Samuel Holland and Gerard De Brahm. Holland conceived of a general survey of North America east of the Mississippi to be based upon geodetic principles on a scale of one inch to one mile but work was interrupted in 1775 by the outbreak of the American Revolution. <br> <br> A very good copy of Holland's large and important map which includes western New England and portions of Quebec.
