Pour Giraud de St. Fargeau Revue des Romans II p. 84, Eva c’est Corinne en Irlande. “Eva si douce, si tendre, si dévouée réunissant à un si haut degré la pureté du ciel et la simplicité de la terre, dissimulant les sentiments les plus vifs sous l’apparence d’une préoccupation toute religieuse et ne pouvant exprimer cette passion autrement qu’en mourant pour elle.”Women ; or Pour et Contre fut publié en Angleterre en 1818 et traduit aussitôt en français. “Quelles que puissent être les Corinne de Mad. de Staël (...) il ne répond pas à la définition que l’auteur a lui-même donnée de son génie et reste étranger à l’intérêt qu’il porte d’habitude au sombre et au terrifiant (...) Qu’y a-t-il de surprenant à ce que Maturin pour un temps “rassasié d’horreurs” se soit tourné vers le délicat mécanisme du cœur humain et penché sur les passions peut-être moins spectaculaires, mais aussi fortes que la peur ?” Lévy p. 560-563.Exempaire finement relié, rousseurs sur quelques cahiers.

184711024Dublin Ireland: Commissioners of National Education in Ireland 1847. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair/No Dust Jacket. The cloth boards have wear to top and base of spine corners and edges in spots some of the previous owners have signed and dated book. I did not see an earlier printing for the book so likely a first edition. The front hinge has a two cm tear at the base and the rear hinge has a two cm tear middle of the hinge. The book has 586 pages with Ulm and Umbria being the last two words in the index so a page of the index may be missing. The pages have light foxing and I found some underlining on page 52. <br/><br/> Commissioners of National Education in Ireland hardcover

A poetic work presented as deriving from a French manuscript connected with Pierre de Boscosel de Chastelard the French courtier executed in 1563 following his attachment to Mary Queen of Scots. This literary forgery belongs to the later career of William Henry Ireland 1775-1835 notorious for his Shakespeare forgeries of the 1790s. As noted in institutional cataloguing the work may be regarded as a quasi-forgery. Ireland's claim this time being that he was simply translator of a Gallic manuscript found in a College in Paris. Essentially though he was bang at it again. A sound and attractive copy of Chatelar by one of the most notorious literary forgers of the period. . Very Good.

Some foxing and chips along extremities none approaching text else Very Good. Circulating handbill for members of the Country Book Club issued to accompany the shared copy of "A Subaltern's Furlough: Descriptive of Scenes in the United States Upper and Lower Canada New Brunswick and Nova Scotia" by Edward Thomas Coke published in two volumes in 1832 and 1833. Listed are nineteen members of the Club both men and women who were allotted ten days with the book before being required to pass it along to the next member lest they receive a "Fine for keeping a Book beyond the Time Two-Pence per Day. Sixpence for omitting to date. No Member is allowed to lend a Book belonging to this Society under a Penalty of One-fourth of its original cost." Below the rules the handbill is separated into three columns listing in print the names of the nineteen members save the last "Mr. Hodgson Cadogan" which is in manuscript together with columns for date "received" and "sent away" which are accomplished in manuscript in each member's hand showing that the book in question was enjoyed by all but one reader between February 20 and September 22 1838. It should be noted that five members kept the book beyond their ten days Mr. John Cookson being the most egregious offender holding onto "A Subaltern's Furlough" from July 7th until August 1st.
