Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. AN UNRECORDED 1730 ISSUE OF TOM THUMB, CONTAINED IN A SIGNIFICANT COLLECTION OF AUGUSTAN SATIRE 8vo, 203 x 125mm; 6 works bound in a single volume; various paginations. A wonderfully rich sammelband, which begins with James Bramston's Horatian 'Art of Politicks', runs through first or early editions of 'Flora', 'Hurlothrumbo', 'The Beggar's Opera' and its sequel 'Polly', and concludes with an unrecorded early issue of 'Tom Thumb'. Bibliographic note: We term the present unrecorded issue 'First edition, third issue'. The sequence is as follows. Henry Fielding's classic 'Tom Thumb' was first published in April (24th or 25th) 1730 by the London stationer J. Roberts. The first edition was described by Fielding's bibliographer Wilbur Lucius Cross in only one issue (Cross, III, p. 291), though in fact five are now known (inclusive of the present example). All are exceptionally scarce, with the most recent first edition selling in 2015 at Christie's for $18,750. The work was clearly in demand, and the text was swiftly revised; a new slightly longer version was performed on 7 May 1730, and a stated "Second Edition" was published shortly thereafter. The variants of the first edition, meanwhile, are mainly distinguished by differences in the title-page. The issue contained in the present sammelband is a novelty: it bears the title-page of Huntingdon 123351, which is a first edition; what follows is the text of the stated "Second Edition" (as identified by additional scenes in Act 2). This reveals, for the first time, that the revised text was in fact prepared while the first edition was still being sold. The first edition issues can therefore be classified as follows: the two states without a price on the title-page can be called 'first issue', the two that bear the price "6 Pence" or "6d" on the title-page (both known in single copies at the Huntingdon) can be called 'second issue', and the present version, with "6 Pence", no edition statement but the extended text, can be called 'third issue'. Evidently it is of the utmost rarity, and is also the most illuminating of all early issues in bibliographic terms, as it clearly marks a transition between the set of first issues and the stated second edition. While 'The Art of Politicks' is relatively common, and Flora is a third edition, both 'The Beggar's Opera' and (especially) its sequel 'Polly' are scarce first editions. (Note that both lack the printed music that is sometimes included - though often absent.) The volume contains many of the high-points of Augustan satire. The wonderfully titled Hurlothrumbo, for example, is the work of Samuel 'Maggoty' Johnson, a dancing-master from Cheshire, who played the lead role - replete with stilts and a fiddle. In his 'Life of Henry Fielding', Frederick Lawrence writes of Hurlothrumbo that "A more curious or a more insane production has seldom issued from human pen." Gay's 'Beggar's Opera', meanwhile, is perhaps the most famous of all Augustan satires, and is still performed. The sequel, 'Polly', was considered too blatant a satire to be performed and was banned until its debut in 1777. The volume retains its original board but has been attractively and very skilfully rebacked, probably in the late nineteenth century. It bears the armorial bookplate of William Henry Mason of Morton Hall, near Retford (who in 1918 became High Sherrif of Nottinghamshire). The corners are bumped, but the contents are generally in very good condition, noting only some browning and very occasional annotations and markings.…

Pemberton, J. Hooke, C. Rivington, F. Clay, J. Batley, and E. Symon, 1726; The Universal Etymological English Dictionary, Vol. II, The Third Edition, with many Additions, London: Thomas Cox, 1737. 8vo (7.9 x 5.1 inches, approx.). Unpaginated, printed in double columns. Textual vignettes."Bailey's first dictionary, An universal etymological English dictionary: comprehending the derivations of the generality of words in the English tongue, either ancient or modern (1721), was followed by what claimed to be a second volume in 1727, which included an 'orthographical dictionary, shewing both the orthography and orthoepia of the English tongue' (title-page). 'Volume II', as the 1727 volume is generally known, introduced accentuation markings for the first time in a general English dictionary - perhaps following the precedent of Thomas Dyche's Spelling Dictionary (1723) - to compensate for the presumed inexperience of the reader: 'forasmuch as many Persons of a small Share of Literature and not very conversant in Books, are frequently apt to accent Words wrong' (preface). The two octavos were soon succeeded by the folio Dictionarium Britannicum (1730; 2nd edn, 1736). Dozens of editions of the first octavo work were published during the eighteenth century and after; they formed the basis for a number of English-German dictionaries, which began to appear in Germany from 1736 onwards", (ODNB). §Sets, together since the day, are found with a variety of editions and publishers. The second volume here clearly supplements the first - as witnesssed by a non-scientific check of the contents (e.g. for entries under the letter 'z' there is no overlap between the contents of the two volumes), and in view of 'Vol. II' to the title-page of the 1737 volume it seems clear that Bailey intended that it should be treated as the second part of his dictionary. Armorial bookplate of Joseph Jones and binder's ticket of Shipp, Blandford, to front pastedown of both volumes. Handsomely rebound, c.1810, in full straight-grain red morocco, gilt lettering and elaborate blind decoration. Spines uniformly age-darkened.

Ruiz montoya fue un famoso misionero Jesuita nacido en Lima (Perú) en 1582 y fallecido en 1652. Fue destinado a las reducciones del Paraguay donde hizo una labor impresionante. Fundó 13 reducciones, logrando la construcción de colegios, iglesias, centros de producción agrícola y pequeñas ciudades que muchos decían se asemejaban al Paraíso, o como decían los mismos guaraníes eran "tierras sin mal". En el año 1628 Ruiz de Montoya consiguió la gran hazaña de lograr que varios miles guaraníes recorrieran unos mil kilómetros, desde Guairá (ahora Brasil) hasta Misiones en Argentina, para protegerlos de los bandeirantes quienes empezaron a esclavizar a los nativos para venderlos. La travesía dio como fruto la fundación de las reducciones de San Ignacio Miní y Nuestra Señora de Loreto, en la provincia de Misiones, Argentina.
