Though Reynard is sly amoral cowardly and self-seeking he is still a sympathetic hero whose cunning is a necessity for survival. He symbolizes the triumph of craft over brute strength usually personified by Isengrim the greedy and dull-witted wolf. . The main literary tradition of Reynard the Fox descends from the extant French 'branches' of the Roman de Renart about 30 in number nearly 40000 lines of verse. The facetious portrayal of rustic life the camel as a papal legate speaking broken French the animals riding on horses and recounting elaborate dreams all suggest the atmosphere of 13th-century France" Merriam-Webster's Encyclopedia of Literature. There is some variation in chapter number within the early editions: From "Caxton's first edition 1481 to Thomas Gaultier's only edition 1550 the story is divided into 43 chapters" while the anonymous edition 1560-1585 has 58 chapters Varty. By the 17th century when the text is titled The Most Delectable History of Reynard the Fox it appears with only 25 chapters and maintains its image cycle. Early 17th century editions also maintained this "picture cycle" through Edward Brewster's 1662 edition but at this point the Wynkyn de Worde blocks were extremely worn and new set was created Varty. Forty images were used for his second edition 1671 and all contain his initials EB. "He published further illustrated editions in 1676 1681 1694 and 1701. in 1672 he grafted new life onto the old story with A Continuation Or Second Part of the Most Pleasant and Delightful History of Reynard the Fox" Varty for which he eventually created an additional 15 illustrations. In 1684 he would produce an additional sequel following the adventures of Reynard's son Reynardine. <br /> <br /> Brunet IV cols. 1228-1229. Lowndes p. 2076.

The Reynard stories were already established as a coherent collection in the 12th century and were first printed in 1479 in a Dutch prose edition. They became especially well known when translated into English and adapted for Caxton's 1481 edition in 43 chapters. The publisher Edward Alde in London began work on an extensive revision of Caxton's text with many new additions but he published only the first part probably in 1620 the first edition of the present part 1 containing 25 chapters some corresponding with chapters in Caxton's edition and some not. Although the second part would have to wait 52 years the first part quickly became the standard English version of the Reynard the Fox stories with 8 editions from 1620 to 1671. Its language was modernized giving both a view of the stories as they were known through most of two centuries and insights into English values and culture of the time. In 1684 Brewster added the present first edition of part 3 giving the adventures of Reynard's son Reynardine.With 20th-century woodcut bookplate. The woodcut on C1 of part 1 is printed upside down. In good condition with parts 2 and 3 slightly browned.

177928070London: G. Kearsly 1779. Fifth edition improved and corrected with upwards of 50 additional illustrations and explanatory remarks. 4to pp. 6 5-56. Bound without the half-title in new boards and end papers small paper repair at the bottom of the title-page. A fine clean copy. The British Mueum attributes this to Shute Barrington the Bishop of Landaff; however the NYPL copy has a MSS note suggesting the author is Charles Fox a more likely candidate. Not in Halkett and Lainge. The lady president of this "mock meeting " is Aa BAss Cs late Ma ss of Cn. known as AmeIia Baroness Conyers Late Marchioness of Carmarthen who eloped from her husband with a John Byron who with his second wife was the parent of Lord Byron. Parliament granted her husband a divorce in May 1779. In reading through the Parliamentary debates for 1779 we find a dismayed Bishop introducing a bill to discourage adultery: i.e. attempting to prevent the adulterer read woman from marrying her lover. Citing the increase in the number of divorces in this recent reign the Bishop calls upon the Parliament to punish such behavior before the entire social fabric unravels. During the discussion in the House of Commons Charles Fox vehemently opposes this bill calling it "unequal unjust and tyrannical." In this marvelous scathing tract the titled ladies discuss their marriages perceptions of their lords and power and in the final vote recollecting an incident from Don Quixote decide to toss the Bishop about in a blanket. It seems highly unlikely that the conservative Bishop would have had such a laugh at his own expense. On a more serious note this is an important look at the state of marriage and divorce during the late 18th century in England. G. Kearsly unknown books

Praeses : Claud. Antonio Renard Resp. : Le Thieullier Ludoviens Petrus Felix Renatus Augustin Friedrich Walther "Anatom wurde am 26. October 1688 in Wittenberg geboren. Seine medicinischen Studien machte er seit 1705 an den Universitäten zu Wittenberg und Jena unternahm 1709 eine größere wissenschaftliche Reise die ihn nach Holland und England führte erlangte nach seiner Rückkehr 1711 in Wittenberg die philosophische 1712 die medicinische Doctorwürde und habilitirte sich 1713 als Docent an der Universität zu Leipzig. Hier wurde er nach einander 1723 Professor der Anatomie und Chirurgie 1730 Director des botanischen Gartens 1732 Physicus der Stadt Leipzig und Professor der Pathologie 1737 Professor der Therapie. In letztgenannter Stellung wirkte er bis zu seinem nach langem schwerem Leiden am 12. Octbr. 1746 erfolgten Lebensende. Walther hat sich um die Universität Leipzig durch Ueberlassung eines werthvollen Theils seiner eigenen Bibliothek an die Universitätsbibliothek sowie durch Stiftung eines ansehnlichen Stipendiums für Medicinstudirende verdient gemacht. Er war ein beliebter Arzt und Lehrer und hat eine außerordentlich fruchtbare schriftstellerische Thätigkeit auf den verschiedensten Gebieten der Heilkunde entfaltet. Wichtig sind namentlich seine Leistungen für die Erweiterung unserer anatomischen Kenntnisse hinsichtlich der Muskel- und Gefäßlehre. Seine Untersuchungen über den Bau der Herzohren über die Ausführungsgänge der Unterzungendrüsen über den Bau des Trommelfells haben zum Theil einen Umschwung der früheren Anschauungen herbeigeführt. Ein Theil der hierauf bezüglichen Abhandlungen die zumeist als akademische Gelegenheitsschriften erschienen sind von Haller in seinen Disputationes anatomicae I-VI in den Disputationes ad morb. hist. III und den Disputationes chirurgicae abgedruckt. Andere Arbeiten Walther's beziehen sich auf Gegenstände aus den Gebieten der Botanik Physiologie allgemeinen Pathologie inneren Medicin und Chirurgie. Wir nennen nur die Titel folgender Schriften nach Winter's Bearbeitung in der unten bezeichneten Quelle: "De usu et praestantia solidoris in anatomicis scientiae" 1723; "Uterus gravidarum" 1723; "De loto aegyptiaca in nummis antiquis" 1746; "De silphio in veterum nummis ac diversis plantarum speciebus" 1746. Folgende Abhandlungen Walther's sind in den Acta eruditorum enthalten: "Sacroceles eximiae historia" 1725; "Descriptio penis monstrosi" 1729; "Anatome duorum herniosorum" 1731."
