1759021234Avignon: Louis Chambeau 1759. Small 12mo measures 153mm x 92mm pp 156 a little browned and age-toned but very sound internally two folding engraved plates a little frayed and creased at the margins and again age-toned full contemporary calf worn at corners the spine dull joints a bit worn but still very sound. A delightful provenance - with the bookplate of C. Harman Payne author of The Florist's Bibliography. This is the only book I have seen from what must have been a notable library. Also with the bookplate of the naturalist Edward Heron-Allen. The plates are great fun showing florists' tools as well as hyacinths a bulb vase and something which looks more like a crocus planter. "Jean Paul Rome d' Ardène retired about 1750 from his duties as 'supérieur' of the college at Marseilles to the Château d' Ardène diocese of Sisteron where he created a botanical garden and gave himself to the study of flowers" - Hunt Catalogue. D'Ardene wrote similar works dealing with Ranunculus Tulips and Carnations It is interesting that Hunt had copies of those three but only mention this work in passing - they did not have a copy. Indeed it seems extremely rare - I can only trace three copies two in WorldCat and the Lindley Library copy. First Edition. Full Leather. Good. Louis Chambeau Hardcover

178318291783 Couverture rigide Londres, sans mention d'éditeur, 1783. Deux volumes in-16 (12 x 7 cm) reliure pleine basane d'époque, tranches dorées, triple filet doré d'encadrement sur les plats, dos lisse orné de fleurons dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison en maroquin olive, quelques frottements aux charnières et épidermes sur les plats, coiffe inférieure du tome I arasée. Tome I : faux-titre, titre, 160 pages, marque d'étiquette au 1er contreplat ; tome II : faux-titre, titre, 189 pages, quelques feuillets brunis. Ex-libris gravé et contrecollé au 1er contreplat. The Complaint, or Night-Thoughts on Life, Death, & Immortality est l'oeuvre phare du Révérend Edward Young, un poème épique, méditatif et philosophique rédigé en vers blancs. Le poème a été écrit après une série de deuils personnels dévastateurs pour l'auteur : le décès de son beau-fils, Narcissa, le décès de sa femme, Elizabeth, et le décès de son gendre, Philander. Ces pertes successives ont plongé Young dans une profonde mélancolie, qui est le moteur central de l'œuvre. Le poème se présente comme le journal nocturne d'une âme en deuil. L'œuvre est divisée en neuf parties, appelées "Nights" (Nuits). Notre ensemble de deux volumes (Vol. I & II) regroupe les premières Nuits (Nuit I à IV, puis Nuit V à IX). Le poème se déroule symboliquement entre minuit et l'aube. L'obscurité est le moment privilégié pour la réflexion solitaire et la confrontation avec la mortalité. Chaque Nuit est une méditation autonome, mais contribue à une progression thématique globale, allant du désespoir à la consolation et à l'espoir. Ce poème, qui a notamment inspiré des philosophes des Lumières (Diderot, Rousseau) s'inscrit dans le mouvement pré-romantique européen. Bon exemplaire.
