Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Cambridge blue cloth. Spine slightly darkened, some embrowning of endpapers. Revised edition, combining the 1858 and 1877 editions, omitting eight poems and adding 20; erratum slip tipped in. The book was "so badly printed", writes Johnson/Cory's biographer Faith Compton Mackenzie, that later the same year the publisher took "the responsibility of producing in a better press another thousand copies".

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Light blue cloth, top edge gilt. "Third edition" (first edition published by Smith Elder, 1858), the first to be published under the author's name, and with an appendix of additional poems; this copy in a variant binding, the spine lettered at foot not "George Allen / 1905" but "GEORGE / ALLEN". With the ownership inscription of W.H. Bowen, 1913, and ticket of Harry Johnson & Nephew, Cambridge; loosely inserted David J. Hall's manuscript note on this variant, unnoticed by John Carter. "It was Arthur Christopher Benson's reprint of Cory's poems in 1905 which did much to popularize them with the Uranians" (Timothy d'Arch Smith). W.H. Bowen is perhaps the surgeon and Dickensian William Henry Bowen (1879-1963) who moved to Addenbrooke's in 1910. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 30M100136

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. 2 vols, the first published by Smith, Elder, London, 1858, in contemporary red morocco by E. Riley & Son, lettered in gilt on spine "IONICA / PART / I / 1858", all edges gilt; the second, printed at the University Press, Cambridge, 1877, in contemporary red morocco to match, by Johanna Birkenruth, lettered in gilt on spine "IONICA / PART / II. / 1877.", all edges gilt. Spine of the first rubbed and faded, edges of covers slightly rubbed, some spotting of prelims, pp. 91-2 slightly nicked at fore-edge; upper cover of the second slightly rubbed at top edge. The first comprises the primary collection of William Johnson Cory (né Johnson, 1823-1892), schoolmaster, scholar and poet, published anonymously, and prints at p. 7 his best-known poem, a version of Callimachus, "They told me, Heraclitus, they told me you were dead"; inscribed, "Alfred Lambert from Charles David Williamson Oct 9. 1887", it bears a few marginal pencillings. In the text of the second are six manuscript alterations, four in ink (apparently in the author's hand - adding to Carter's named three, "brink" for "bank", p. [5]), two in pencil; inscribed on the blank facing the title-page are 16 lines of "Dream-life", printed in (and copied from?) Viscount Esher's Ionicus (1924). In a letter to the future Lord Esher, 13 November 1877, the author wrote, "I sent to the Cambridge University Press this week sundry rhymes, enough to fill forty-eight pages exactly; not published, but just to 'give' away for a shilling a copy privately, as I was tired of copying out, and at the same time I could never tell that there might not be a few, say ten pupils, who might like to see certain things." "This book [Ionica II] is a rare bibliographical curiosity," wrote A.C. Benson. "It has neither title-page nor index; it bears no author's name; and it is printed without punctuation, on a theory of the author's, spaces being left, instead of stops, to indicate pauses." Charles David Robertson Williamson (1853-1943) - known as "Chat" (for Chatterbox) - was a favourite pupil of the author's at Eton. To Johnson/Cory's dismay he converted to Catholicism at the age of 20 and became a Catholic priest, finally in his native Perthshire. The binding by Johanna Birkenruth (1853-1929) is attractively fresh. Inscribed by Author(s). Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 30M100131
