1826(LCPCVOY-0027)(Une rare description de l'Irlande et des irlandais, conservée dans sa brochure imprimée d'origine) JOUY Etienne DE - JAY Adolphe-François-Marie. "L'HERMITE EN IRLANDE, OU OBSERVATIONS SUR LES MOEURS ET USAGES DES IRLANDAIS AU COMMENCEMENT DU XIX SIECLE". 1826, Paris, Pillet l'aîné. 2 volumes in-12° (182x114 mm) (dimensions pages 180x113 mm) I : (2) ff. (faux-titre et titre), 1 vue de Dublin, 1 planche dépliante (carte et vues), 305, (1) pp., (1) f. (table) ; II : (2) ff. (faux-titre et titre), 1 vue, 266 pp., (1) f. (table), (2) ff. (catalogue). Des gravures et des vignettes. (I : (2) ff., 1-12(12), 13(10) ; II : (2) ff., 1-11(12), 12(14)) Brochure bleue imprimée originale. Edition Originale, rare. Rares infimes brunissures, mais très bel exemplaire, frais. Superbe exemplaire tel que paru, à toutes marges, non rogné et conservé dans sa brochure imprimée d'origine. Ouvrage curieux sur l'Irlande, ses habitants, leurs coutumes, croyances et style de vie. Des anecdotes rapportées sont l'occasion pour fournir la description des lieux et des paysages et pour dessiner le caractère des irlandais. "... malgré sa misère et sa pauvreté, le paysan irlandais n'est pas sans orgueil et sans ostentation. Celui dont la chaumière est divisée en deux appartemens par une mauvaise cloison en terre, donne au second le nom de salon, et le sentier boueux qui traverse le champ de pommes de terre qu'il appelle son jardin, prend celui de grande route. J'ai eu une servante qui refusait de s'aquitter de certains ouvrages de domesticité, parce qu'elle aurait cru, en s'en chargeant, dégrader le sang des rois Connaught, dont elle se prétendait descendre". "On reproche aux paysans d'Irlande leur penchant pour la boisson, leur humeur vindicative et leurs dispositions querelleuses : ces reproches ne sont pas sans fondement. Le POTTEN distillé en fraude est à si bon marché, et il est si facile de s'en procurer, que c'est une tentation à laquelle il leur est difficile de résister. Il arrive souvent qu'ils sont eux-mêmes honteux de leur ivresse, et qu'ils font serment de ne plus y retomber. SERMENT D'IVROGNE est un proverbe qui n'est pas applicable à l'Irlande, car tout serment s'y exécute à la lettre ; mais c'est cette exécution littérale qui leur fournit des moyens d'évasion. Par exemple, un d'eux ayant fait voeu de ne plus boire de whiskey chez lui ni hors de chez lui, se mettait sur le seuil de sa porte, tenant en main un verre de ce beuvrage séducteur, et il le buvait en toute sûreté de conscience, un pied hors de sa maison et l'autre dans l'intérieur".

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE --<br /> Samuel Ireland was a weaver-turned-engraver who became obsessed with Shakespeare. This work is a primary record of the "Stratfordian" industry in its infancy. Ireland is best remembered today as the tragic dupe of his son's forgeries; he died defending the authenticity of the Shakespeare papers his son had actually forged in their home. This volume represents Ireland at the height of his career before the scandal broke his reputation and his spirit.<br /> <br /> SUBJECTS: 18th Century Travel British Topography Shakespeareana Aquatints Literary Forgery River Avon Samuel Ireland Fine Bindings Illustrated Books.

Previous owner's bookplate to front end paper. No marks or inscriptions. Extremely faint crease to front cover, none to rear or to spine. A lovely clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards and no bumping to corners. 80pp. This work of full-page colour photographs by Paul Graham deals with the small but insistent signs of deep political division within the landscape of Northern Ireland in the 1980s. 'The foreword by Declan McGonagle contrasts the work against the melodramatic imagery of the North and places the Troubles in a broader framework of the marginalisation and denial of power that has been the hallmark of British cononialism for centuries. The main text by Gerry Badger examines the genre of reportage photography and positions this work within a new generation of intelligent documentary photography that represents ideas rather than furnishing simple visual records or illustrating words.'
172927852London: J. Newcomb 1729. First Edition Rare. Illustrated with the engraved frontispiece portrait. 8vo bound in later half-calf over marbled boards the spine with raised bands compartments decorated with panel designs in gilt black morocco lettering label gilt. 2 135; 62 appendix pp. A very well preserved unpressed and crisp copy the portrait with a bit of old evidence of damp unobtrusive and visually mostly confined to the verso. An English soldier adventurer and Jacobite conspirator Bernardi's involvement in an assassination plot against William III led to his subsequent forty-year imprisonment without proper trial in Newgate. While the principal conspirators were executed Bernardi and five others were held without coming to trial initially for a year ostensibly to gather further evidence. However their continued imprisonment was sanctioned by subsequent Acts even after William III's death. Bernardi's life in prison was made difficult by effects of the old wounds he had sustained in the 1670s. Bernardi also complained that his confinement in the "dismal and loathsome" gaol had cost him "above seven hundred pounds for his lodging". J. Newcomb hardcover
Second edition, [ii], 39, [1]pp., recent marbled boards. A heroic poem about the bloody but inconclusive battle at Talavera, southwest of Madrid (July 27-28, 1809), in which a combined British-Spanish force under Sir Arthur Wellesley (later Duke of Wellington) forced the French army of King Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon, to withdraw from field. The author, John Wilson Croker, was a high-Tory politician and man of letters, one of the founders of the legendary Quarterly Review and for nearly thirty years its primary contributor. Wellington himself singled out this poem for praise. Surprisingly uncommon: we find no copy of the first or this second edition, Copac locates the third and later editions only.

Approx. 28 pages filled with neat ink manuscript entries illustrated with four small original sepia photos and a hand-drawn folded map tipped to inside of front cover. Covers a little worn contents age-toned but entirely legible.<br /> <br /> § A delightfully detailed record of an amusingly rushed school trip to Ireland made by an English schoolboy in 1913. The boys and several masters departed from Stonehouse in Gloucestershire it seems likely they attended Wycliffe College prep school and travelled by train to Fishguard in Wales and from there by boat to Rosslare Harbour in Country Wexford Ireland. Then by train char-a-banc a governess cart ponies and finally boats they tore across the south of Ireland to Killarney and back in a single day. The dutiful author of the journal prepares for the trip with several lists: "General time-table" "List of required articles" including "change of socks.cup soup-plate. rug if room" "Things to be noticed" Waterford Harbour Mountains Lakes Cattle Grazing. and a very thorough plan for "Meals" cornflakes chocolate bananas squashed fly biscuits. The journal itself is neatly written and full of detail particularly of the various vehicles Irish trains get a thorough review and his glimpses of "real Ireland". Four small mounted photos show a bridge in Kerry viewed from a boat Ross Castle "A Jaunting Bar" a kind of horse-drawn carriage and happily "the Author" who appears to be in his early teens. The star of the journal is a large folding map of the trip carefully hand-drawn and keyed and mounted inside the front cover. unknown
