1876130654New York: Harper & Brothers 1876. Large octavo pp. 1-11 12-163 164: blank 1-3: ads 4: blank note: first leaf is a blank flyleaves at front and rear forty illustrations some full page by Alfred Fredericks original pictorial bevel-edged olive green cloth front and spine panels stamped in gold rear panel stamped in blind a.e.g. brown coated endpapers. First edition. Attebery calls this episodic children's fantasy "a rather disappointing sequel to Irving's treatment of the same Catskill scenery" but this fairy story has little to do with the scenery of the region and nothing to do with Rip's adventure. It's an imaginative though somewhat didactic dream fantasy of Catskill fairies of Dutch and American Indian ancestry and Nip an elf of Germanic ancestry from the Berkshires who visit Joe a poor farmer's boy to play and work making gifts on Christmas Eve. During this enchanted evening all animals and inanimate objects including a grandfather clock and a seashell can talk to human beings. All relate episodes from their lives to young Joe most of the experiences illustrating moral values. The evening's revelry owes more to Hoffmann's Nutcracker or A Midsummer Night's Dream than Rip's adventure among the gnomes. The excellent illustrations by Fredericks are reminiscent and perhaps influenced by the work of Richard Doyle. Some or all of this material appeared serially in HARPER'S NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE in 1875. The book is copyright 1875 but it was published in 1876.

A good copy housed in a half-morocco slipcase spine gilt erroneously noting "inscription by Francis Bacon". A royal decree issued by King James I confirming that baronets holders of hereditary titles awarded by the crown were to be ranked below the younger sons of Viscounts and Barons. The practice of awarding baronetcies was introduced by James I in 1611 and this decree was issued in response to a "controversie which did arise upon an inference only out of some dark words contained in the Letters Patents of the said Baronets." This copy has numerous contemporary ink inscriptions in English on three pages some of which were smeared and are now mostly illegible at an early date. The remainder of the inscriptions include proper names single words and partial sentences. STC 9234. ESTC S105542. Robert Barker hardcover books
