There are small (2.3 cm x 1.5 cm) oval library stamps (easily erasable!) to the reverse of the full page illustrations and one at the end of the book, but NO other indications that this was once in a library.

Leather-bound. Zustand: Near Fine. Cruikshank (illustrator). First Edition. Octavo.

Compartment 2 bears title on gilt-lettered burgundy morocco, and compartment 3 "Illustrated by Cruikshank" in gilt-lettered, lighter butterscotch morocco. Date (1820) gilt on burgundy to bottom of spine. Some roughness to joints. Gilt dentelles, and all edges. Reinforced hinge, and a 3/4 in. x 5 1/2 in. sunned strip at top of rear board. SIGNED BINDING by 19th century British binder W.T. (William Turner) Morrell, of London, (upon dentelle, bottom of front pastedown). All edges gilt, and sewn-in silk marker ribbon. 12 stunning (and quite humorous!) full-page, hand-colored aquatints by I.R. Cruikshank, plus a hand-colored engraved title illustration. NOTE: Pages 39-42, 87-110, and 163-178 are omitted, apparently by design as noted by an amusing footnote at the end of Contents, to WIT: "The reader will perceive an hiatus after p. 38, another after p. 86, and a third after p. 162. Some digressions occurred in those places on subjects too abstruse to be generally interesting; they have therefore been withdrawn; but in consequence of a temporary absence of the author, the suppression took place after the work was printed. As the connexion of its parts is not disturbed, it is hoped that the liberty thus taken will be tolerated with indulgence." A lovely copy of a humorous treatise, taken to the absurd, on the topic of a sense of economy." (Carrie Estelle Dohene Foundation), not only with stunning Cruikshank aquatints, but with the provenance of both Edward Laurence Doheny, and his widow Carrie Estelle Doheny. DOHENY BOOKPLATES Bookplates to front pastedown endpaper, and to front free endpaper. The first, a photograph of a mother, and three children surrounded by images of a country estate, a city home, an oil well, and a sailboat. The ribbons read: "Ex Libris" and "Edward Laurence Doheny". Doheny (1856-1935) was an oil tycoon and philanthropist who drilled the first successful oil wells in Los Angeles, and in Mexico, later expanding into Venezuela. He was implicated in the Teapot Dome scandal, having been accused of offering a bribe to U.S. Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall. Doheny was twice acquitted, but Fall fell. The second bookplate was that of Doheny's widow, Carrie Estelle Doheny, a giant among philanthropists, with a particular focus on St. Vincent and Vincentian-related charities. Carrie Estelle Doheny ".was a renowned collector of books with a particular interest in Bibles, most notably the Guttenberg Bible, which she owned for decades. In 1983, 25 years after her death, her gift to the Archdiocese of Los Angeles became unrestricted and was liquidated. During the two years of auctions in New York, London, and Paris, her collection at the Edward Laurence Doheny Memorial Library ultimately realized upwards of $34 million." The bookplate depicts a lyre, candle quill and inkpot, an open book, and 9 books, upright upon the desk. ".Money! Money! my friends! Above all things get money, or, what is as important, learn to save it.There are a thousand ways of getting money, but only one of saving it, which is, not to spend it unnecessarily. This is the golden thread on which I have endeavoured to string my pearls of ancient and modern lore, of book-reading and of real life. I have read a great deal, and seen a great deal of all modes of existence.".

With engraved title page featuring hand-colored vignette and 19 HAND-COLORED ENGRAVED PLATES. Front flyleaf with bookplate of Harald Pedersen, and verso of front free endpaper with bibliographical notes in pencil. Abbey, "Life" 265; Tooley 434. â Spine sunned to maroon, bottom corners a bit rubbed, frontispiece cropped close at foot (with much of the imprint trimmed away), otherwise quite a fine copy--the plates in excellent impressions and pleasantly colored, without the typical offsetting from these kinds of illustrations, and the binding lustrous and with scarcely any wear. With charming illustrations by one or more of the 19th century's leading caricaturists, this work is an imitation of the popular "Tour" books of Doctor Syntax, featuring a pedantic clergyman and schoolmaster meeting with an onslaught of amusing misfortunes in the course of his wanderings. The original "Tour," published in 1812, was conceived of as a parody of the books of picturesque travels then enjoying a considerable vogue, and when it met with a great popular response itself, two more tours followed in 1820 and 1821. Even this could not sate the public, and a number of imitations of the Syntax books, including the present work, were issued. There is some disagreement as to whether Thomas Rowlandson (1756-1827) or Isaac Robert Cruikshank (1789-1856) created the illustrations here; as Tooley notes, "Both Rowlandson and I. R. Cruikshank are credited with the designs for the plates, the balance of opinion favoring Cruikshank but according to the advertisement . . . more than one artist was employed, or at least a different engraver to the artist." Either way, the amusing illustrations of the follies and faux-pas of the good Doctor Syntax do not disappoint. Aside from being in pleasing condition, our copy also stands out for its particularly attractive contemporary binding.

Full Morocco. Zustand: Near Fine. Unifying the two works, besides the common theme and the fact that the second work, Real Life, was in an imitation and knock off of the first work, is that they share a common, quite decorative, full red morocco binding by Wood of London. Bindings with gilt decorative devices in four of six spine compartments, and board corners, front and back -- horse's head, cocktail glasses, boxing gloves, crossed swords. Two devices on leather corners of inside boards. 8vo. The two works have slightly different dimensions. Life is 233 by 148 mm, Real Life, 225 by 148 mm. 36 and 32 hand-colored plates in the two works respectively, for a total of 68 hand-colored plates. The three volumes have a somewhat complicated origin, as evident in the edition enumeration or identification, with the Real Life being a mixed state. We know the second volume is the fourth edition from its description in the publisher's advertisement. Condition: typical wear along joints. Some minor gradation of leather color, with spines slightly darkern. (We do not think there has been sunning.) Occasional light foxing or soiling, but the set overall reads clean. A beautiful, tight set. Life: First Edition, Second Issue. Real Life, Vol. 1, First Edition, First Issue. Vol. 2: First Edition, Fourth Issue.

Queen Caroline Sliced And Diced By Satirists' Blade Fifty Devastating Hand-Colored Caricatures Directed Against the British Monarchy CRUIKSHANK, George, illustrator. CRUIKSHANK, I.R., illustrator. LANE, Theodore, illustrator. The Attorney-General's Charges Against The Late Queen, brought forward in the House of Peers, on Saturday, August 19, 1820. Illustrated with Fifty Coloured Engravings. London: G. Humphrey, [1821]. First edition. Folio (18 13/16 x 13 inches; 478 x 330 mm.). [2, title, imprint on verso]. 20 pp. by Robert Gifford, Attorney-General. Hand colored frontispiece and forty-nine hand colored etched plates, the majority being by Theodore Lane. Six of the plates are by George Cruikshank; one is after George Cruikshank; two are by Isaac Robert Cruikshank and one is by George & Isaac Cruikshank. All plates with interleaves. The text & plates are watermarked "J. Whatman 1821" Handsomely bound by Sangorski & Sutcliffe ca. 1960 in three-quarter dark blue morocco over marbled boards ruled in gilt. Spine with five raised bands elaborately tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. A fine well margined copy, of this series of devastating caricatures directed against the British monarchy, including the republication of the charges brought by the Attorney-General, Robert, Baron Gifford (1779-1826), against Queen Caroline and in support of the Pains and Penalties Bill of 1820 by which George IV, who had only just inherited the throne in 1820 and who hated his wife sought to remove her title and dissolve their marriage. The volume begins with a view of Humphrey's shop-window where 42 of these prints are on view. The focus of these caricatures is Caroline of Brunswick (1768-1821) and her alleged affair with Bartolommeo Bergami. She renamed him Pergami (as being more aristocratic) and appointed him Grand Master of the Order of St Caroline. Queen Caroline, on the whole, elicited a great deal of public support and as a result the Bill had to be subsequently abandoned. However, the following year, in July 1821, Caroline was barred from the coronation, fell ill, and died three weeks later. After the fall of Napoleon in 1815, George Cruikshank's attention was largely turned towards highlighting the decadence of Britain's Regency monarchy which was epitomised by George IV while still the Prince Regent. In this collection six of the plates are by George or Isaac Robert Cruikshank or both, the remainder are by Theodore Lane (1800-1828), a painter and engraver who frequently worked on sporting material, especially in partnership with Pierce Egan. It was after this period that George Cruikshank became progressively more sober and serious. This scarce collection of caricatures sharply lampooning Queen Caroline to delightfully deadly effect is not found in the British Museum. Indeed, BM Satires refers to the copy at the Bibliothéque National France, one of only six copies in institutional holdings worldwide. Theodore Lane (1800-1828) was a political lampoonist and in 1820 created a series of satirical images of Queen Caroline at the time of her return to England to claim her rights as consort to George IV. Lane caricatured the queen as a grotesque, overdressed and overweight, accompanied by her Italian lover, Bartolomeo Pergami and the then Lord Mayor of London, Matthew Wood. The Plates: 1. Design for a New Coat of Arms (Frontispiece) 2. Humphrey Printseller & Publisher. 3. Bergami's Little Darling. 4. A Pas de Deux or Love at First Sight. 5. The Choice of Hercules. 6. An Arm-Full of Love 7. The Como-cal Hobby. 8. Winding up to a pitch the Automaton Scaramouch, or Harlequin Courier's Delight 9. The Long & the Short of the Tale, - or, the whole of the concern. 10.
