Housed together in a brown buckram slipcase. Front pastedown with morocco bookplate of Robert Hoe. Cross III 305; Rothschild 844; Tinker 1034. ◆Occasional mild browning or faint foxing but AN ESPECIALLY FINE SET clean and fresh internally in unworn bindings.<br/> <br/> This is a handsomely bound copy with superior provenance of the first appearance of a breakthrough work in the field of English literature. Fielding had a profound influence in determining the development of the novel and this was the first great instrument of that influence. Although some of the names of the characters are facetious the events personalities and settings are all characterized by convincing verisimilitude. The book was begun as a spoof of Richardson's sentimental "Pamela" but it ended up on its own as one of the best novels of the period. The beautiful bindings by the leading English workshop Riviere and the sparkling condition here are characteristic of books from the collection of our earlier owner Robert Hoe 1839-1911 founding member and first president of the Grolier Club. According to Beverly Chew Hoe's library was "the finest America has ever contained." Hoe acquired illuminated manuscripts early printing French and English literature and very fine bindings; when his library was sold in 1911-12 it fetched nearly $2 million a record that held until the Streeter sale more than 50 years later.

Front pastedown with morocco ex-libris of Alfred Barmore Maclay. Foxon S-562; Hayward 158; Rothschild 1932; Schwerdt II 166. ◆Leather on spine uniformly sunned to olive brown as expected with green morocco text perhaps lightly washed and pressed in keeping with bibliophilic fashion at the time of binding occasional faint marginal smudges otherwise fine internally and in a very lustrous binding with no signs of wear.<br/> <br/> This is the first edition of the most popular work by Somerville 1675-1742 a mock-heroic poem about hunting in an apt and very striking binding by a renowned English workshop. Divided into four books of Miltonic blank verse "The Chace" is considered to be one of the finest didactic poems of the first half of the 18th century. The text covers hounds and their kennels along with the hunting of hare fox and otter and there are digressions that bring in methods of the chase in exotic localities. Most of the hunts described are accompanied by dogs and set in England past or present but the poet occasionally strays far afield to describe lion stalking or the hunting habits of Genghis Khan. According to Schwerdt the book was "highly approved of by the first literary characters of his day." The extraordinarily handsome binding by Riviere incorporates the hunting motif with four stags appearing to chase one another around the covers. 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. Our volume comes from the library of Alfred Barmore Mackay 1871-1944 who after a very brief career at his family's bank devoted himself to collecting books art and antiques engaging in equestrian sports and designing a sumptuous garden at his Florida estate now a state park.

178059007but actually London: William Strahan 1780. Folio broadsheet 17½" x 11"; 3 horizontal folds the paper a bit dusty else very good. With its original separately printed title leaf folded into a wrap-around sleeve. In January 1776 Captain Bromedge wrote to Vice Admiral Schuldham regarding his boarding of the ship Boston Packet and his suspicion that they were carrying stores to the enemy. "I am informed by the crew of the Boston Packet that the Master declared repeatedly on the Passage that could he make Cape Codd he would go in there and land his cargo or could he make Cape Ann he did not fear meeting with some of his Friends to carry him into Beverly or Salem" see Naval Documents of the American Revolution Vol III p. 1005 for the full text of his letter. Regarding this and similar allegations Vice Admiral Graves issued the orders printed here specifically pertaining to the Boston Packet: "You are to seize and detain all Ships and Vessels belonging to the Inhabitants of the four New England Provinces and to send them to Boston." On the verso is printed Rear Admiral Schuldham's confirmation of Graves' order "the probability of these stores being smuggled away to the Enemy.makes me think it highly proper that they should be detained." In effect this is a Letter of Marque issued during the Revolutionary War but pertaining only to a particular class of merchant ships and to two vessels in particular one of which was the Boston Packet. Rare. OCLC shows only the John Carter Brown holding a copy. With manuscript additions dating the document September 1775 and addressing it to Captain Bromadge.

17828291Madrid: Imprenta Real 1782. First Edition Primera edición. Hardcover Tapa dura. Madrid Imprenta Real s.a. 1782. En folio. 31 h. 326 136 24 pp. 1 lámina. Encuadernación en pergamino a la romana de finales del siglo diecinueve planos con rueda gofrada y flor en los vértices lomera con tejuelo en marroquén y letrería también dorada. Primera edición de las Ordenanzas de Intendentes para el virreinato del Río de la Plata posiblemente las ordenanzas más importantes que se dictaron para América. Las primeras ordenanzas se dieron para los cuerpos de intendentes en España en 1718 que después sirvieron de ejemplo para las de América. Las Ordenanzas definen a los Intendentes en América como magistrados puestos para fomentar la agricultura promover el comercio estimular la industria y favorecer la minería; la legislación general para los intendentes se fue configurando a medida que se iban solventando las deficiencias que aparecían en el ejercicio diario de sus funciones. La primeras ordenanzas en América se establecieron en Cuba en 1764. Las presentes Ordenanzas para el virreinato de Buenos Aires o Río de la Plata fueron las primeras que se realizaron para el continente americano y son la base de las leyes relativas al comercio y la hacienda en América durante el reinado de Carlos III hasta el fin de la dominación española en América. La premura en este virreinato fue producto de la situación de crisis y conflicto que la sublevación indígena había conseguido establecer en gran parte de su jurisdicción especialmente en el Alto Perú. Este levantamiento indígena que se dio de manera simultánea en distintos lugares tuvo uno de sus focos en Chayanta Potosí liderado por los hermanos Kataris el cual extendiéndose por el altiplano terminó contactando con el movimiento de Tupac Amaru y alcanzando un importante impacto en ciudades como Oruro o La Paz. Una de las quejas de los indígenas sublevados fue la extorsión y abusos de los corregidores. La reforma administrativa a partir de la aplicación del régimen de intendencias contemplaba entre uno de sus objetivos acabar con la odiosa figura del corregidor de indios y sustituirla por los subdelegados. Ejemplar con extensas anotaciones contemporáneas en los márgenes y con dos folios manuscritos adicionales. La primera hoja que contiene la lámina con el escudo está restaurada en el margen interior pero sin afectar al grabado por lo demás es un magnífico ejemplar con muy amplios márgenes.

Third Edition; First London Edition First State with "stinking" instead of "skinking" in "To a Haggis". 210 x 126 mm. 8 1/4 x 5". xlviii 13-372 pp. With half title and the subscriber list to the Edinburgh edition. <br/> VERY FINE RED CRUSHED MOROCCO GILT BY RIVIERE & SON stamp-signed on front turn-in cover with French fillet border raised bands spine compartments with acorn-and-lancet central ornament floral vines at corners gilt lettering turn-ins with complex gilt roll marbled endpapers all edges gilt. Engraved frontispiece portrait of Burns. Gibson p. 6; Egerer 2. ◆Perhaps pressed not washed but AN ESPECIALLY FINE COPY quite clean and fresh internally IN A SPARKLING BINDING with no signs of use.<br/> <br/> This is one of the most famous poetic publications in history offered here in a most attractive copy of the first London printing following an Edinburgh edition the same year and the extremely rare Kilmarnock first edition of 1786. Burns issued the poems at the age of 27 in order to raise passage money for a voyage to Jamaica where he had been offered an agricultural post on a plantation. At a time when his contemporaries were searching for the "natural bard" and in the process had unearthed poetical threshers poetical milk maidens and poetical cobblers the charming plowman Burns delivered his simple and beautiful lyrics with most propitious timing. He found himself famous almost at once and his fame has not faltered over time even though after the appearance of the present work he did little during the rest of his life except write songs and drink. The very attractive binding is the work of one of the longest-lived English binderies. 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. The bindery continued to do business until 1939 when it was acquired by George Bayntun of Bath a firm that is still producing fine work and is still in family hands. Printed for A. Strahan; T.
