Lamb says in his preface that he "wished to make these Tales easy reading for young children.for young ladies too it has been my intention chiefly to wrote because boys are generally permitted the use of their fathers' libraries at a much earlier age than girls are they frequently have the best of Shakespear by heart before their sisters are permitted to look into this manly book";<br /> <br> <br /> <br> <br /> Hugh Walpole was a best-selling author in the 1920s and 1930s with a large and varied output. Between 1909 and 1941 he wrote thirty-six novels five volumes of short stories two original plays and three volumes of memoirs. His range included disturbing studies of the macabre children's stories and historical fiction most notably his Herries Chronicle series set in the Lake District. He worked in Hollywood writing scenarios for two Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films in the 1930s and played a cameo in the 1935 version of David Copperfield. As a gay man at a time when homosexual practices were illegal for men in Britain Walpole conducted a succession of intense but discreet relationships with other men and was for much of his life in search of what he saw as "the perfect friend". He eventually found one a married policeman with whom he settled in the English Lake District. Having as a young man eagerly sought the support of established authors he was in his later years a generous sponsor of many younger writers. He was a patron of the visual arts and bequeathed a substantial legacy of paintings to the Tate Gallery and other British institutions. wikipedia. 1302843. Shelved Dupont Bookstore. M. J.

1825LTH31-F-8London: Sherwood Jones & Co. 1825. First edition. Leather. Near Fine. 6" by 6". Unamed. An attractive first edition of this scarce work of 'wit' compiled anonymously by Charles Lamb and Thomas Hood from the Selbourne collection. The work is a selection of satirical pieces with contemporary society and recent history for their subject. Sometimes poetry and sometimes prose they reflect a learned irreverant and ironical contemporary view on the Britain of the early 19th century. Thomas Hood was a poet and humorist who wrote for The London Magazine the Athaneum and Punch. He is thought to be the principle creative force behind this volume. William Michael Rossetti in 1903 called him "the finest English poet" between the generations of Shelley and Tennyson Lamb was a writer and essayist and is best known for his Essays of Elia and a childrens book he wrote with his sister called Tales from Shakespeare. He was friends with the poets Coleridge and Wordsworth and was a significant member of contemporary literary society in England. It is thought that he assisted Hood in the compilation of the work. This copy contains a number of newspaper clippings inserted noting that a Mr Walter Jerrold wrote an article in the Cornhill Magazine in 1924 "in which he points out that it contains several of Charles Lamb's essays.and that Lamb wrote the amusing prologue". Direct from the library of the late Hugh Selbourne MD 1906-1973 a noted book collector and diarist. In full morocco with a gilt motiff to the front board and gilt lettering to the spine. Externally excellent with just a little rubbing to the extremities. With a bookseller's plate to the front pastedowns. Internally firmly bound.

1828GEN17-D-5Philadelphia : Carey Lea and Carey 1828. First edition. Cloth. Very Good. 7" by 4.5". None. An unauthorised first American edition of the collected essays of Charles Lamb. Very scarce in the publisher's original boards. The essays in the collection first began appearing in The London Magazine in 1820 and continued to 1825. Lamb's essays were highly popular and were printed in many subsequent editions throughout the nineteenth century. The personal and conversational tone of the essays has charmed many readers; the essays "established Lamb in the title he now holds that of the most delightful of English essayists." Lamb himself is the Elia of the collection and his sister Mary is "Cousin Bridget." Charles first used the pseudonym Elia for an essay on the South Sea House where he had worked decades earlier; Elia was the last name of an Italian man who worked there at the same time as Charles and after that essay the name stuck. American editions of both the Essays and the Last Essays were published in Philadelphia in 1828. At the time American publishers were unconstrained by nuisances like copyright law and often reprinted materials from English books and periodicals; so the American collection of the Last Essays preceded its British counterpart by five years. In a quarter cloth binding with paper covered boards. Expertly rebacked with gilt titling to spine. Externally worn though spine remains smart. Front hinge held by cords only. Internally generally firmly bound. One or two unopened pages. Slight age-toning to pages and some spotting. Very Good Carey, Lea, and Carey hardcover
