1800TA20This item is currently on reserve; please contact dealer for more details. <p>Folio. Contemporary paper boards. Worn with loss boards detached stitching split with album broken into several parts. In spite of the exterior the album has preserved the contents rather well; apart from some uneven trimming to margins occasionally shaving text and worming without loss of sense to six pieces the printed material contained within is largely clean and fresh and with a few loose exceptions pasted to the album leaves.</p><p>A remarkable assembly of material relating to the elections for the two Oxford borough and two Oxfordshire county seats in the early nineteenth century largely focusing on the 1812 General Election where John Atkyns-Wright John Ingram Lockhart Francis Almeric Spencer and John Fane were respectively duly elected as Members of Parliament.</p><p>In addition to the relatively official and perfunctory handbills and posters addressed to 'Freemen of the City of Oxford' that necessarily accompanied Georgian elections this volume also highlights the cut and thrust of campaigning. Numerous mock wanted or lost notices for example 'Wanted An Upper Servant a steady Man to serve in an honourable House' mocking Francis Almeric Spencer as a Marlborough man squibs songsters often to the tune of the then popular Derry-Down' and verses.</p><p>A full list of the contents of this volume the vast majority of which was printed in Oxford and unrecorded in either COPAC or OCLC is available on request.</p> [vs.] hardcover

1787BIBLIO-42136e typographeo Clarendoniano /Academico Oxonii first editions 1787 - 1821 - 1835. 2 vols in 3 mixed set 1787 and 1821 volumes contemporary boards folio 1835 volume recent black library buckram gilt spine-title folio 45 x 28 cm. ii 98 327 41 2 143 viii 145-730 pp 9 plates. Rare in the market - only one copy traced at auction in 1959 £1500 when Sotheby's appear to have been understandably misled into thinking that one of four parts was missing. In fact the work comprises three confusingly named elements: Pars Prima 1787 Partis secundae volumen primum. 1821 and Pars secunda 1835 all present here. The 1787 first part of the Catalogue of the Oriental MSS. comprising those in Hebrew Chaldee Syriac Ethiopic Arabic Persian Turkish and Coptic was compiled over many years by John Uri a Hungarian who had studied Oriental literature under Schultens at Leyden. Uri's work was a pioneering attempt to make the Bodleian's already substantial collection better known to scholars. It was however criticized for carelessness in the 1835 concluding part of the catalogue where Pusey provides some 60 closely-printed folio pages of corrections and additions and observes that the entire series of Arabic Mss had required re-examination as a result of various cheats and deceptions practiced on the purchasers of those manuscripts. The second element of the Catalogue was published in 1821 and was the work of Alexander Nicoll an exceptionally able scholar and outstanding linguist who became Regius Professor of Hebrew at the age of 29. His volume added notices of some 234 additional Arabic MSS to those recorded by Uri. But Nicoll's premature death occurred before the publication of his second part which he had printed as far as p. 388; it was instead completed and edited with nine lithographic plates of specimens of Arabic MSS. by his successor in the Hebrew Professorship Dr. Pusey in 1835. Pusey provides altogether descriptions of 296 Arabic volumes together with his copious additions to Uri's first portion. An ex-library set which would benefit considerably from rebinding. The condition of the volumes is generally Good but: the 1787 volume in contemporary boards has a split to the upper half of the rear joint and a shorter split to the front joint with wear to the spine ends; there is waterstaining to the margins of pp 77-149 generally framing the text but somewhat impinging on it in the case of about 20 pp. Library label and marks on the front pastedown endpaper tape label around spine. 1821 Volume: in contemporary boards with a paper spine-label small piece of spine missing library label on front inside board rear board heavily rubbed and slightly worn some mild foxing and browning to contents.1835 volume: Rebound in modern black library buckram library label and marks on front free endpapera little foxing and occasional minor marks four engravings of sunbirds bound in. e typographeo Clarendoniano [/Academico], Oxonii, first editions, 1787 - 1821 - 1835 hardcover

The text was engraved by James Cole active from 1764-80.<br /></p><p>The Oxford sheet almanacks were issued yearly from 1676 until 1946.

Dayes may have based his design on one of John Donowell's Oxford views published in 1755.</p><p>James Basire in charge of the almanacks from 1797 to 1814 came from a family of prominent engravers. He is best known for apprenticing the young William Blake. Edward Dayes a pupil of William Pether was a painter and engraver whose influence can be seen in the early drawings of J. M. W.

However both usefully for the seeker of context and at points confusingly for the actual reader its table of contents seems to be not for what's present as selected but for the text in full extent so the table announces for example that "Titulus XVII" comprises nine sections and lists these even unto the subsections though the body of the book itself sets forth sections five and six only.<br>Â Â Â Â The title-page offers a handsome vignette of the Theatre not one of the commonest ones. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â ESTC T118673; Madan Oxford Books 17.
