8vo, pp. [xvi], 390, [18] index; in modern marbled wrappers. Second edition in English of the Abbé de Bellegarde's Refléxions sur le ridicule (1696): the first edition had been the previous year. This book and its translation into English should be considered as part of the movement for the reformation of manners beginning at around the turn of the century.

8vo, pp. [viii], 176; 120, [15] table; printed in two parts but issued as one volume; contemporary panelled sheep, rebacked. Sole edition in English: first published in French in 1687. This anonymous translation is dedicated to 'Henry St. Johns, Esq', who may be either the future Viscount Bolingbroke, Pope's friend, or his father, also Henry (1652-1742), who himself became a Viscount in 1716. On the whole, it seems more likely that the younger man was intended: Bolingbroke's father was a 'typical Restoration rake' who had been convicted of murder in 1684 (he escaped execution by bribery), and who took almost no interest in his eldest son. The young man, however - he was only 27 when this book was published, but already MP for Wootton Bassett - seemed destined for greatness, being a witty, fluent speaker and intelligent companion. ESTC queries whether this was issued in two volumes, presumably because of the two series of pagination; more likely, I think, is that the two parts were printed in two different workshops. Provenance. Contemporary inscription of Stephen Lowdell, 1722, on upper pastedown.

Erstausgabe
8vo, pp. [xxxii], 536, [2] table of contents; with separate title pages for individual pieces, but continuous signatures; some early leaves dust-soiled and creased, with small tears (particularly A1); but otherwise a sound copy, in contemporary panelled calf, rebacked. First edition: much of this volume is devoted to three long prose works: (a) Animadversions on the Pretended Account of Danmark (1694), attacking the well-known Whig account by Robert Molesworth (to whom it is ironically dedicated, as 'Mr M---' ) (b) A Journey to London, in the Year, 1698 (1698), a parody of Martin Lister's Journey to Paris; and (c) Dialogues of the Dead (1699), a satire on Richard Bentley and the Phalaris controversy. There are also a number of previously published poems, such as 'Molly of Mountown', first printed in 1704 as 'by the author of the Tale of the Tub'. At the end is a collection of twenty miscellaneous poems, including 'The Old Cheese', 'The Skillet', 'Little Mouths', 'The Beggar Woman', and 'The Incurious'. The book is dedicated to the members of the 'immortal' Beef-Steak Club, which is odd: the original club was founded in about 1705 as an offshoot of the whiggish Kit Cat Club and King would surely have been out of sympathy with them. Several other Beef Steak Clubs have followed, most of them similarly whiggish and liberal rather than tory. Foxon p. 399.

[ 1732. ] [ Second ] edition. Pamphlet. Disbound. 8vo. ( 194mm. ) Pp. viii, 52. Title page and leaves very slightly age browned on the edges, in other respects a clean copy. This is seemingly the second edition of a work first published in 1680 ( 4to. ), though this is not noted on the title page. ' J.K.' in his [ Address ] to the Bookseller suggests that the earlier edition was written anonymously and then continues - ' I cannot do better than in desiring you to reprint this excellent little treatise, in which the original Design, Duty and Power of Jurors are clearly explained . . ' . Hawles was a committed Whig supporter, his idea in writing this piece was to inform jurymen of their modus operandi and behaviour when sitting on a jury. The pamphlet was received with much approbation by the Whigs in Great Britain, in America it was similarly well received and was reprinted a number of times. ESTC T106583.

8vo, pp. [xxxii], 536, [2] table of contents; with separate title pages for individual pieces, but continuous signatures; a fine copy in contemporary speckled panelled calf, spine gilt, later brown morocco label (a little rubbed, very slight wear to upper joint and the tips of the spine). First edition: a copy on large and fine paper, with no watermark, and about an inch taller than copies on ordinary paper, with a star watermark. This is the first substantial collection of the author's writings, no doubt prompted by the success of his Art of Cookery, published the year before. After graduating from Christ Church, Oxford, William King (1663-1712) began a legal career, but soon turned professional writer, with a predilection for satire and parody. His high-church Tory pamphlets earned him the approval of Swift, who tried to help him find employment, but somehow King never prospered. John Gay once said that King had 'a world of wit, yet as it lies in one particular way of raillery, the town soon grew weary of his writings'. Much of this volume is devoted to three long prose works: (a) Animadversions on the Pretended Account of Danmark (1694), attacking the well-known Whig account by Robert Molesworth; (b) A Journey to London, in the Year, 1698 (1698), a parody of Martin Lister's Journey to Paris; and (c) Dialogues of the Dead (1699), a satire on Richard Bentley and the Phalaris controversy. There are also a number of previously published poems, such as 'Molly of Mountown', first printed in 1704 as 'by the author of the Tale of the Tub'. At the end is a collection of twenty miscellaneous poems, including 'The Old Cheese', 'The Skillet', 'Little Mouths', 'The Beggar Woman', and 'The Incurious'.

The Bow dragon Engraving. A print showing the original design for St Mary-le-Bow, one of the first churches to be rebuilt by Sir Christopher Wren and Nicholas Hawksmoor after the Great Fire of London. The title cartouche alludes to the previous church's fate by the urn of fire surmounting it, similar to the one that tops the Monument. An eagle holds a scroll with a ground plan of the church on the left. Wren modelled the church on the Basilica of Maxentius in Rome, possibly inspired by the belief, as recorded in the text below the print, that the site had once contained a Roman temple (actually an early Norman church). The steeple features a dragon weathervane, a nod to the dragon's place in the legend of England's patron, St George, and to its place in the coat of arms of the City of London. The dragon has red crosses on the underside of its wings, as do the dragons in the City's arms. The Bow dragon was a popular London landmark, appearing in a poem by the libertine Earl of Rochester, and with its equally popular fellow, the grasshopper topping the Royal Exchange (see item 132), in a pamphlet about religious freedom. Henry Hulsberg (fl.1702-1729) was a Dutch engraver of maps and architecture, working in London. BM 1880,1113.3530. Image: 688 by 483mm (27 by 19 inches). Sheet: 765 by 485mm (30 by 19 inches).

12mo, engraved frontispiece and pp. xii, 220; frontispiece rather soiled and laid down; else a good copy, in contemporary calf, spine gilt (slightly worn, but sound). First edition. A poetical miscellany for young readers, by James Greenwood (1683?-1737), who at this point was a teacher at a boarding school in Woodford, Essex. In 1721 he became a master at St. Paul's School in London, where he remained until his death; he published a number of popular grammars, vocabularies, and other pedagogical works. Included here are passages from Katherine Philips, Milton, Dryden, Cowley, Waller, Denham, Prior, Etherege, Isaac Watts, and Swift, along with a number of occasional poems by unidentified hands, presumably those 'never before printed'. The final poems go back further into poetical history, with poems by Spenser and Chaucer. At the end is a short section of notes, and a 38-page alphabetical index of difficult words. The dedication is to nine young ladies, very likely former pupils, all the daughters of influential men such as Sir Richard Child and Sir Caesar Child, who were Essex gentlemen, and Peter Godfrey, MP for the city of London. Case 304; Alston III, 503. The same sheets were reissued in 1722 and 1731 as the supposed second and third editions as might be expected, each is progressively rarer than the last.

Folio (298 x 197mm), pp. [xvi], 3-267, [2] table of animals, [15] index; 40; title page in red and black; with additional engraved title (by Richard Waller) and 35 plates, of which 30 are in the first part and five are in the second; a very good copy in contemporary calf (rebacked, corners a bit worn, modern labels). First edition, reissued with a redated title page in 1701, and then again in 1702, with a slightly altered title (The natural history of animals): this is the only edition. The work is a translation of Perrault's Memoires pour servir à l'histoire naturelle des animaux (1671-76), containing 35 fine plates of animals: these are not the French plates, as printed by the Imprimerie Royale, but must have been recreated by copying from the originals - they are close copies, but perhaps lacking some of the finesse of the Paris edition. Alexander Pitfeild (1659-1728) had been elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1684. Richard Waller, Secretary of the Society from 1687 to 1714, was his brother-in-law, and as he apparently designed the title page, which is signed 'R. Waller fec', he may have been responsible for the plates as well - as his biographer in ODNB says, 'among the fellows he became known for his artistic skills'. Wing P1582A. Provenance.

Three of the plates in Volume I have closed tears (repaired) and the large folding Map of Japan in Volume II has a large closed tear (repaired) and has had the lower outer corner professionally repaired where ther has been some loss - please see photos. As to be expected, there is some browning to page edges, handling marks and old staining to lower outer corner of last half of the book. First few pages, including title page. have a slight scorch mark to upper inner corner. Overall a VERY GOOD COPY, expertly repaired, of a scarce single volume of Tavernier's travels with its fascinating engravings. The 'Mapp of the Isles of Iapon' is the first English edition of Tavernier's map of Japan, first published the previous year, augmented with an inset of the Gulf of Tonkin, originally a separate map in the original work. The route by land & sea from Nagasaki to Tokyo is marked. On stylistic grounds the map has been attributed to the engraver Herman Moll, making it one of his earliest works. Tavernier, a gem merchant, travelled only to China, but included a description of Japan in his account. (Shelf 9) PLEASE NOTE: VERY Heavy Book (2.6 kg+) Postage outside the UK will incur a surcharge.

Folio (32.5 x 20.5 cm), [2], 2, [18], 184, 195-264, [2], 214, [8], 119, [3] pp., 24 engraved plates (2 folding, 1 with short split to fold), contemporary sprinkled calf, neatly rebacked preserving old red morocco lettering piece, lower outer corner upper board repaired, a very good copy. Attractive copy of Tavernier's account of his travels to the East. One of the most popular works of its time and translated into several European languages, it is still regarded as an important source for information about the period. There were five variant editions printed in 1678. One was dated 1677 in error. It was first published in French in two parts, 1676 & 1679. Tavernier (1605-1689) spent eleven months in Constantinople before setting out on his first journey. He joined a caravan for Persia in 1638 and, between 1643 and 1668, made six voyages to Persia, India, the East Indies, and Japan. During his travels he amassed a large collection of diamonds and other jewels. His successful commercial enterprise was recognised by Louis XIV, and he was granted a patent of nobility for his contribution to the establishment of French trade in Asia. It was Tavernier who indicated the trade routes to the East and made it possible for others to follow him. cf. Blackmer 1632; Sinkankas 6504.
