Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Thirteenth edition. Hard cover, 16mo, (3 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches) in half green calf over marble paper-covered boards, grey end papers, letterpress printed by H. Bryer, Printer, Bridge-Street, Blackfriars, upon laid paper, with a frontispiece engraving of "Britannia supported by Liberty and Commerce receiving the produce of various parts of the World." "The engraving published 1800 by E. Newbery, Corner of St. Paul's." xii, 250pp.** Condition: Very Good Minus. Boards a bit rubbed and spine label as well. An inch long split to head of outer joint. Hinges in order. Pages lightly foxed. Covers moderately worn at tips through to boards. Front free endpaper has dog-ear fold (production fault). Generally clean interior pages. **A brief history of England, organized by small chapters by reigns of the English monarchs, beginning with William I (the Conquerer) 1028-1087 through the reign of King George III (1760 - 1820). The latter part of the book is interesting in that it outlines the events leading up to war with the Spanish and French, including the Battle of Trafalgar, (which occurred during the year of this publication.) Different updated versions were offered from the 1770's of this pocket edition. **The printer of the engraving, Elizabeth (Bryant) Newbery, was a woman publisher and bookseller (1745-1821) who like others of the central London printing fraternity, was located in the district around St. Paul's Cathedral. She ran the business, inherited from her husband, successfully for more than twenty years, pioneering books for young English children. She sold the business to John Harris, mentioned as publisher here, in 1802. Worldcat on E. Newbery. OCLC 29931886 says the Rev. Mr. Cooper was a name de plume for a "hack" author, Richard Johnson, active from around 1785. UPDATE: Through totally unexpected intercession of "The Book Gods," which fellow travellers in the bibliophilic vein will be aware, a clipping mentioning the husband of publisher and bookstore owner Elizabeth Newbery literally fell into this bookseller's hands today, and so this tidbit from the June 4th, 1881 edition of "The Athenaeum" will be included with your purchase. Thirteenth Edition, "Carefully Revised and Corrected".
