Old stamps of a defunct mercantile library occasional dust soiling and mild spotting the folding map and plan have some careful and professional tissue repairs at some edges and folds not extensive; generally a good sound copy. First edition. In 1744 Smith published the full version of his THE ANTIENT AND PRESENT STATE OF THE COUNTY OF DOWN which the DNB describes as "the first Irish county history on a large scale ever written." In the same year he was instrumental in founding the Physico-Historical Society at Dublin the purpose of which was to support the research toward and publication of a series of county histories. In addition to this work and its predecessor an important history of Cork appeared under the Society's auspices and a history of Kerry followed though the Society had by then broken up. All "form a valuable contribution to Irish topography of which Smith may be regarded as the pioneer" - DNB. Bradshaw had the second edition of 1774 but not the first edition.

Small signs of age and wear to the binding including slight crackling and nicks to the spine folding map with faint dampstain to tail margin two negligible ink spots to blank area on the map of the Irish Sea but A VERY APPEALING COPY quite clean and remarkably fresh internally and in an entirely solid period binding.<br/> <br/> This is the second corrected edition of the first comprehensive road atlas of Ireland offered here in especially attractive condition. In response to increasing demand for accurate maps of the country's road system the Irish House of Commons commissioned George Taylor and Andrew Skinner who together had previously produced the first road atlas of Scotland among other works to undertake a survey of the land. Taylor and Skinner completed their work in 1777 and published the first edition of their findings in 1778. This second edition includes updates to the year 1783 as well as an additional map no. 289. Renowned for their precision and detail Taylor and Skinner's maps clearly show roads crossroads and bridges as well as topographical features such as hills lakes and rivers including the direction of the water flow; landmarks such as castles churches and ruins; and the names of local landlords and their homes. The maps appear either as half-page strips or in full-page and the distances are given in both Irish and English miles 11 Irish miles being equal to 14 British miles. The robust list of subscribers which includes a number of earls viscounts lords bishops and British and Irish army men demonstrates the great need for and widespread success of this important work. Our former owner may well be the famed and controversial naturalist Joseph Sabine 1770-1837 who often signed his name as "Jos. Sabine" as seen here. He certainly had good reason to own maps of Ireland. He was from an Anglo-Irish family himself and was Honorary Secretary of the Horticultural Society a position which at the time carried great clout in the botanical community and one that presupposed knowledge of geography across the realm. DNB tells us that "Sabine played a leading part in the establishment of the society's garden first at Hammersmith and afterwards at Chiswick; in sending out David Douglas and others as collectors; in starting local societies in connection with the Horticultural Society; and in growing and distributing new and improved varieties of flowers fruits and vegetables throughout the country." While not a rare book this is the kind of volume that would have normally encountered frequent and inevitably damaging use so to find a copy as well preserved as this one is a lucky occurrence.

178810357London: Published by Molteno & Co. No. 132 Pall Mall 1788. Etching and aquatint with hand-colour. Lovely contemporary colour. As usual text line is attached on verso of sheet. In excellent condition. Trimmed as usual and mounted on washline background. Mounting sheet is watermarked laid paper. Image size: 14 5/8 x 20 1/4 inches. A charming landscape by Samuel Ireland the engraver and collector connected with the infamous Shakespeare forgeries.<br/> <br/>Ireland was a minor engraver and publisher who worked in London at the close of the eighteenth century. He was an avid art and manuscript collector and many of the works that he engraved and published were after pieces found in his own collection. This romantic continental view is after a painting by David Tenier which was in Ireland's collection at the time. This image operates as both an example of the picturesque tradition in eighteenth century landscape prints and as an advertisement and promotion of Ireland's celebrated collection. With this image Ireland presents himself as both a serious engraver and a respected collector. Unfortunately today Ireland is better remembered for his involvement in the Shakespeare forgeries than for his evocative prints. Over a period of many years Ireland's son William Henry sold his father a series of forged manuscripts which he claimed to be written in Shakespeare's hand. Ireland who willingly trusted his son added these forgeries to his collection and presented them in an exhibition to the literary community who accepted them as genuine. The charade progressed so far that an invented play entitled 'Vortigern' which William Henry had written and presented as a missing work by Shakespeare was performed at Sheridan's Drury Lane theatre by some of the leading actors of the age. When the hoax was eventually discovered Ireland's reputation was ruined and his son was disgraced. This print is from the famed Oettingen-Wallerstein collection which was compiled over two centuries by various members of the royal household. The collection is known for its stunning impressions and the immaculate condition of its prints.<br/> <br/>Dictionary of National Biography; Lugt Les Marques de Collections Supplement 2715a.

Evans 27643; McCoy R287 for the Dublin edition American not mentioned. Text a bit browned otherwise an excellent copy. <br/><br/>Archibald Hamilton Rowan 1751-1834 was the son of Gawen Hamilton of Killyleagh Castle County Down and Lady Jane Rowan Hamilton. In 1784 he joined the Killyleagh Volunteers a militia group later associated with radical reform under his father's command and in 1790 he was a founding member of The Dublin Society of United Irishmen. He was jailed for seditious libel but escaped to Paris where he befriended Mary Wollstonecraft but the Thermidorian Reaction to the French Revolution proved too tumultuous and he moved on to Philadelphia then Wilmington Delaware over many years descending from riches to rags wary of travel and unable to return to Ireland. His wife was his most loyal and determined advocate and through her efforts he was able to move to Hamburg where he was finally reunited with her and their 10 children and eventually London. He did not return home to Ireland until 1806 but he returned as a hero. Tiebout & O' Brien hardcover books
