BACON'S ESSAYS AND COLOURS OF GOOD AND EVIL

1891ST16866fLondon and New York: Printed by Cambridge University Press for Macmillan and Co 1891. From the "Golden Treasury" series. 210 x 133 mm. 8 1/4 x 5 1/4". xxiii 1 388 pp.Edited with notes and glossarial index by W. Aldis Wright M. A. Trinity College Cambridge. HANDSOME NAVY BLUE MOROCCO GILT BY RIVIERE AND SON stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with border composed of five plain rules and incorporating a scalloped corner configuration containing a pentagonal element raised bands spine intricately gilt in compartments outlined by plain and stippled rules enclosing an inner frame repeating the cover design and at the center an elaborate fleuron emanating from a floral tool and punctuated by many tiny dots turn-ins densely gilt maroon glazed endpapers top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Engraved frontispiece in three states and the title page with the same image in a fourth tissue guard before title page. A Large Paper Copy. Spine just slightly and uniformly sunned toward blue-green title page with faint offsetting from tissue guard another page with a small area of darkening from laid-in piece of paper one leaf with two tiny marginal tears expertly repaired one page with trivial foxing but all of these imperfections insignificant and in general a very fine copy in a most attractive binding the text uniformly fresh bright and clean and the binding lustrous and virtually unworn. This is a special luxury copy of a late 19th century edition of Bacon's famous "Essays" first printed in 1597. As Oxford Companion indicates the text here comprises Bacon's "collections of reflections and generalizations and extracts from previous authors woven together . . . into counsels for the successful conduct of life and the management of men." Some of the essays "deal with questions of state policy . . . some with personal conduct . . . some on abstract subjects such as 'Truth' 'Death' and 'Unity' . . . and some reveal Bacon's delight in Nature such as the pleasant essay 'Of Gardens.'" Day says that "in Bacon's hand the essay is an impersonal gem of worldly wisdom" and most of the essays reflect an intention to provide "cold-blooded instruction on how to get ahead in life." In short incisive prose modeled after Tacitus "the aphoristic skill and wise experience of Bacon unite to form some of the most memorable and penetrating phrases in English." DNB indicates that this is an important edition pointing out "the accuracy of Wright's text and the concise learning of its notes." In very fine condition our volume gives special pleasure from the handsomely decorated Riviere binding to the high quality laid paper to the carefully printed text within enormous margins. Riviere is one of the foremost names in English binding partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829 then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881 he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son and the bindery continued to do business until 1939.

ELIA. ESSAYS WHICH HAVE APPEARED UNDER THAT SIGNATURE IN THE LONDON MAGAZINE

1823ST19567-072London: Taylor and Hessey 1823. FIRST EDITION First State imprint with single address for publisher. 200 x 125 mm. 8 x 5". 2 p.l. 341 1 pp. 3 leaves ads. VERY PRETTY DARK GREEN CRUSHED MOROCCO ELABORATELY GILT BY RIVIERE & SON stamp-signed on front turn-in covers with double frames formed of floral sprigs drawer handles and other small tools raised bands spine panels densely gilt with stippling floral tools radiating from small central flower gilt lettering turn-ins with floral garlands at corners olive green watered silk endleaves top edge gilt other edges untrimmed. Ashley III 50; Tinker 1457. Spine darker green than the covers though not at all noticeable in the four compartments that are almost solidly gilt front joint a little rubbed and with two-inch thin crack at top final leaf of ads with repaired curving two-inch tear into text isolated small stains or faint foxing but still very attractive--clean and fresh internally in a very lustrous binding sparkling with gilt. This is a handsomely bound copy of Lamb's largely autobiographical essays that embrace the broad subject of mankind at large as seen through the author's own experience and impressions. As Oxford Companion says Lamb's essays "present with exquisite humor and pathos and in a brilliant and inimitable style characters that the author has known . . . the productions of a playful or melancholy fancy . . . and general comments and criticism." The name "Elia" as Lamb says was "clapt down" on these essays in honor of a fellow clerk at South Sea House a building of commercial offices and the subject of the first essay. A second collection "The Last Essays of Elia" appeared in 1833. Charles Lamb 1775-1834 worked in the office of the East India Company and wrote poetry essays and plays. With his sister Mary he was the author of "Tales of Shakespeare" a flowing and lucid prose rendition of 20 of the bard's dramas that helped rekindle 19th century interest in the plays. The strikingly attractive binding done in an elaborately gilt style reminiscent of the Roger Payne era is the work of Riviere one of the foremost names among English binderies partly because the firm did consistently fine work and partly because it was so long in business. Robert Riviere began as a bookseller and binder in Bath in 1829 then set up shop as a binder in London in 1840; in 1881 he took his grandson Percival Calkin into partnership at which time the firm became known as Riviere & Son and the bindery continued to do business under the Riviere name until 1939 when it was acquired by Bayntun.

Hudson River and the Hudson River Railroad: with a complete map and wood cut views of the principal objects of interest upon the line

1851406078New York: Wm. C. Locke & Co 1851. Wrappers chipped at edges professionally rebacked some unobtrusive offsetting on map. 8vo. 50 pages. Large folding map on three joined sheets 21 x 1788 cm; 8.25 x 61.75 inches. 11 woodblock illustrations in text and with 2 more not recorded in the index but always present. Original printed wrappers with woodblock vignette. SCARCE Hudson River Railroad travel guide published the first year in which the full line was completed. It covers points of interest along the route with woodblocks illustrating the text. Topics include: the history of the Hudson River the history of the construction of the Hudson River Railroad and the cities towns and villages along the Hudson from New York City all the way to Troy. Concerning the West Point Foundry at Cold Spring the guide states: "the iron foundry was established here by Gouverneur Kemble. The works are situated about a mile west of the village upon a small stream which tumbles rapidly down the mountains affording considerable water power. It is the largest establishment of its kind in the country employing nearly five hundred hands constantly." The building of the Hudson River Railroad is another topic in the guide. The project was considered highly impractical since much of the route had to be cut through extremely difficult rock and terrain. This section includes a description of the tunnels which had to be constructed. The railroad was opened in three stages. In September 1849 it allowed passengers to travel from New York to Peekskill. By that December 6 twenty-three additional miles were opened extending to New Hamburg. By the 31st of the month it was open the remaining distance of nine miles to Poughkeepsie. The Hudson River Railroad was an extension of the Troy and Greenbush Railroad which was chartered in 1845 connecting Troy South to Greenbush now Rensselaer on the east side of the Hudson. The Hudson River Railroad was chartered on May 12 1846 to extend this line south to New York City. The full line opened on October 3 1851 the same year in which this travel guide was published. WorldCat/OCLC records 25 copies but it is scarcely found complete with the map and the map is also excluded from the digitized versions available online. Wm. C. Locke & Co unknown
