Both Volumes in protective Mylar and now housed in a bespoke Solander Box. Name of Richard Meade of Ballymartle on titlepage of both Volumes. Minor lesion and tear to titlepage of Volume II. Overall very good ! Extremely scarce publication in first or second edition ! Regina Maria Roche 17641845 is gauged as a minor Gothic novelist who wrote in the shadow of the pioneering Ann Radcliffe. However she was a bestselling author in her own time. The popularity of her third novel The Children of the Abbey rivalled that of Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho. Born Regina Maria Dalton in Waterford Ireland in 1764. Her father was a Captain in the British 40th Regiment. Her family moved to Dublin and after her marriage to Ambrose Roche in 1794 she moved to England. Her first two novels were published under her maiden name before the success of The Children of the Abbey and Clermont. Both these were translated into French and Spanish and went through several editions. However after her fifth novel The Nocturnal Visit appeared in 1800 Roche suffered financial difficulties having fallen afoul of a duplicitous solicitor and she did not write again until 1807 when she received aid from the Royal Literary Fund. She then wrote 11 more novels most of them set in the rural Ireland but none matched her earlier successes. After her husband's death in 1829 she returned to Wexford. After bouts of depression she died in relative obscurity in the town of her birth at the age of 81. Roche's obituary in The Gentleman's Magazine remembers her as a "distinguished writer who had retired from the world and the world had forgotten her. But many young hearts now old must remember the effect upon them of her graceful and touching compositions." The Children of the Abbey a sentimental Gothic Romance was one of the period's most popular novels of the 1790s. Her book Clermont was Roche's only full attempt at writing a truly Gothic novel. It has a decidedly darker in tone than anything else she wrote. Both novels went through several editions and were translated into both French and Spanish. Clermont was one of the Northanger Horrid Novels satirized by Jane Austen in her novel Northanger Abbey. Wikipedia hardcover

Rare first edition here with the often missing half title of the first general history of Brazil â€“ â€œThis work is extremely copious in the details of its foundation as a colony its successive governors its churches its monasteries and conventsâ€ Sabin. "This first edition is becoming rare and is much sought after by Brazilians . since it is the first history of Brazil to have been printed and since it was written by a Brazilian" Borba de Moraes. The author's purpose was to narrate the events that had taken place in Brazil with the help of "truthful reports" these largely from Jesuit sources and "modern information" given by those who had traveled in the vast Brazilian territory. This was the only history of Brazil available to Pittaâ€™s contemporaries since most of the others composed in the first two centuries of colonization remained in manuscript form until the nineteenth century. Rocha Pitta was born in Bahia in 1660 and died in the year 1738. At the age of 22 he left the University of Coimbra where he took his degree to return to Bahia where he got married. He made up his mind to write a history of Brazil and he spent years in collecting documents in the Monasteries of Brazil and Portugal where he went in order to study French Dutch and Italian for the purposes of his history. â€œIn 1728 after 40 years of study he began to print his history which appeared in 1730. It was universally well received and King John V. appointed him a member of the household in consequence yet in a few years the Portuguese government publicly prohibited its being read under the severest penalties.â€ Sabin.Sabin 72300 Borba de Moraes 1983 p. 748 hardcover

Historia da America Portugueza desde o anno de mil e quinhentos do seu descobrimento até o de mil setecentos e vinte e quatro.

1730176140Lisbon: Joseph Antonio da Sylva Impressor da Academia Real 1730. The first history of Brazil First edition "much sought after by Brazilians" Borba de Moraes. Sebastiao da Rocha Pitta 1660-1738 was himself Brazilian having been born in Bahia. This is an attractive copy of this rare and important work in a carefully restored contemporary binding. The last copy to appear at auction was in 1985. "Though scornfully dismissed by Robert Southey as being 'a meagre and inaccurate work which has been accounted valuable merely because there is no other' the Historia does not deserve such censure. For all its Gongoric turgidity it contains some valuable and authentic information being on some points more fair-minded and accurate than Southey's better written but more prejudiced work" Boxer p. 160. Thomas Lindley writing in his Narrative of a Voyage to Brazil 1805 is less dismissive and certainly more specific in his criticisms describing Pitta as "an intelligent and well-informed Brazilian" who compiled his history "from the chronicles of the Jesuits and other authorities and some valuable local knowledge of his own. This work is copious in its details of the foundation of Brazil as a colony its successive governors its churches its monasteries and convents". However Lindley was less enthusiastic about Pitta's coverage of natural history manufacturing and commerce but the Historia is evidently more of an old-style chronicle than a practical up-to-the-minute guidebook. Lindley also remarks that the Portuguese government "publicly prohibited its being read under the severest penalties and it is now only met with carefully secluded in the cabinets of the curious". Quarto 295 x 197 mm pp. xxvi ii blank 716. Title printed in red and black woodcut headpieces; bound with the half-title and the integral blank before the main body of the text which are frequently lacking. Contemporary sprinkled sheep new dark red morocco label compartments gilt with scrolled foliate corner-pieces floral lozenge central tools edges sprinkled red and blue. Binding a little rubbed and worn in some places some stripping from the front cover. Judicious restoration to spine ends and joints expert repair to head of front board occasional professional paper repairs to margins. Short closed tear to half-title page pale tidemark in margin of last few leaves; overall a very good copy. Borba de Moraes 1983 II 678; Sabin 72300. C. R.

Luchet believed â€œGood history is a long fableâ€ p. iv tr. Immediately upon publication of this first volume of a projected five Luchetâ€™s fanciful account of the history of OrlÃ©ans and environs 52 B.C.E. to 1428 C.E. came under fire. He had manufactured personal information abandoned the facts cloven to the marvelous and doubted Jeanne dâ€™Arcâ€™s divine mission pp. 307-419. This last angered the clergy and THE DUC Dâ€™ORLÃ‰ANS FORCED THE AUTHOR TO BUY UP AND DESTROY THE EDITION.

Giphantia:

176188236London: Robert Horsfield 1761. First edition in English. Hardcover. 1761 First edition in English. 2 vols. 8vo. Main title printed in red & black part title with woodcut decoration. Uniformly bound by Glenn Malkin in modern speckled calf with geometric gilt design and blind-tooled roll & cogs decorations to covers spines with raised bands and gilt rules with contrasting leather title labels. Housed in leather-backed marbled board compartmentalised slipcase. A scarce imaginary voyage considered to be one of the earliest works of utopian science fiction. This work is also considered a cornerstone book in any collection of photographic literature and photography's first fictional work see Roosens & Salu History of Photography No. 10421. Originally published in France in 1760 as Giphantie an anagram of the author's name this work is credited with one of the earliest mentions of photography in Chapter 17: "That window that vast horizon those thick clouds that raging sea are all but a picture. Thou knowest that the ways of light reflected from different bodies make a picture and paint the bodies upon all polished surfaces on the retina of the eye for instance on water on glass. The elementary spirits have studied to fix these transient images; they have composed a most subtile matter very viscous and proper to harden and dry by the help of which a picture is made in the twinkle of an eye. the impression of the images is made the first instant they are received on the canvas which is immediately carried away into some dark place; an hour after the subtile matter dries and you have a picture so much the more valuable as it cannot be imitated by art nor damaged by time" pages 95-96. Glenn Malkin began binding professionally in 2008 and has since won numerous awards for his design bindings in national and international competitions. Some foxing and other marking all pages uncut; bindings and solander very good. ESTC T99917; Gernsheim History of Photography p. 26. No jacket Robert Horsfield hardcover
