Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
Foolscap 4to. [9], viii-ix, [2], xii, [1], 2-307, [3] pp. Original smooth calf, spine neatly rebacked (likely a contemporary rebacking), with the original spine laid down. Boards are ruled in gilt, all edges gilt, with the spine in six compartment, the second compartment features a maroon morocco label (lettered in gilt). Armorial bookplate of Robert Barclay of Bury Hill, and a late nineteenth or early twentieth-century bookplate of Charles L. Dana. Robert Barclay was a wealthy brewer, and owned the estate of Bury Hill for 150 years. On the estate he created several botanical gardens and ponds, as he was also a botanist (Exploring Surrey's Past, "Dorking: Bury Hill and the Barclays"). Charles L. Dana was a doctor at Cornell Medical College, studying nervous diseases and mental illnesses. He was an avid book collector and a member of the Sons of the American Revolution, the Society of Colonial Wars, and the Century Association. He founded the Charaka Club, a society for New York physicians to gather and discuss issues of literary and historical importance. Exploring Surrey's Past: "Dorking: Bury Hill and the Barclays". Gaskell 383. Wikipedia, ADNB: "Charles Loomis Dana". This volume includes the Epodes, the Satires, the Epistles, the Art of Poetry, and Horace's varied songs, or shorter poems (carmina). A later edition from the Foulis Press, a historic Scottish printer and book-bindery. A Very Good volume with a bit of wear to the boards' corners, and a few, very discreet, contemporary owner's markings. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 00008689

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Second edition. Small (Pot) 8vo. [5], 2-248, [2] pp. Contemporary full calf, spine in six compartments with gilt lettering and decorations, maroon morocco label on the spine, boards' edges show gilt tooling. Gaskell 155. Editio Altera. The second Foulis press edition of Horace, the first Foulis Horace published in 1744. Contains Horace's satires, his Epodes, the shorter poems (known as the Carmina), his Ars Poetica, and his letters (Epistolarum). Oxford Classical Dictionary, "Horace", 724-76. Horace's body of work ranges from comedic to philosophical, rendering him one of Rome's most appreciable but weighty literary figures. He writes about his experiences at the Battles of Philippi and Actium, fighting in Brutus' army. He was lucky to retain his land after being on the losing side of the Roman Civil War. His writings helped him make sense of the violence he witnessed during the war. His letters, a later work, reflect on aging and the best way to lead one's life. The Ars Poetica is Horace's treatise on writing an elegant, well-crafted poem. An instructive text from a master of the form. A lovely edition of several of Horace's most significant works, well-made by the renowned Foulis Press. A Very Good copy with a tiny chip to the foot of the spine and a touch of rubbing to the boards' corners. Leaves remarkably clean. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 00009827
