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. Printed for G. Hawkins, and sold by T. Cooper unknown

The American Locomotive Company Alco had a long history of manufacturing steam and diesel locomotives in America Canada and around the globe through subsidiaries or licensees. Alco had developed a strong reputation in the 1940s and 1950s with its successful road switchers but as railroads competed to carry more tonnage at faster speeds the market demanded more horsepower. The "Century" series was introduced in 1963 remaining in production until Alco closed its famed Schenectady N.Y. plant to domestic production in 1969. The Century name celebrated the corporate history of Alco and its predecessors manufacturing locomotives for 100-plus years.
