Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Beautiful bindings grace this English first edition of Le Grand's Fabliaux, or Tales, Abridged from French Manuscripts of the XIIth and XIIIth Centuries. The ex-libris plates tell us that this set have been in the library at The Glen, of Sir Charles Tennant, and also the Library of the artist, collector and bibliophile Wynne Rice Hugh Jeudwine. About the Work - First printed in French in 1779, researchers find, in comparing D'Aussy's translations with the original manuscripts, that D'Aussy "gave himself much freedom". He translated such classic works as Aucassin and Nicolette, The Order of Knighthood, The Lays of Sir Lanval and Gruelan among others. This English edition is also notable for the decorative devices and woodcuts that accompany it. The first volume contains cuts principally by John Bewick, with a few by his brother. Those in the second are primarily by Nesbit, to whom Thomas Bewick gave the work after his brother's death. Bibliographic Details - Per the English Short Title Catalogue, entry 006295264, this is a re-issue edition, with "Vol. I." added to the title page.

hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Second Edition. Publication: London, Printed by W. Bulmer and Co. at the Shakspeare Printing Office, 1802 Formatting: 8vo, pp. xxiv, 105, [1]. Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains tight and structurally sound, with secure joints and firm hinges. The half red calf leather exhibits minor shelf wear and light rubbing, predominantly to the extremities, raised bands, and corners, though the thematic gilt tooling to the spine remains notably bright and unoxidised. The cloth-covered boards are well-preserved with only faint signs of handling. The top edge gilt retains its lustre, while the remaining untrimmed edges show natural age-toning. Internally, the text block is pleasingly crisp; there is some scattered spotting and browning, most evident on the title page and preliminary leaves, but the internal pages are otherwise clean and free from intrusive marks or tears. Catalogue Note: This is the second Bulmer edition of Somervileâs celebrated sporting poem, following the quarto first edition of 1796. The work is notably enhanced by a title-page vignette and twelve superb woodcut engravings executed by Thomas Bewick, based on original designs by his younger brother, John Bewick. This edition stands as a handsome example of the fine typography produced at William Bulmerâs highly regarded Shakspeare Printing Office. The volume is bound in an attractive later half red calf over cloth boards, featuring a thematic, gilt-tooled spine adorned with a falcon and a hunting horn enclosing a hound's head. Copies of this 1802 octavo edition, particularly those in appealing fine bindings with sporting motifs, have become increasingly scarce on the open market and remain highly desirable among collectors of both Bewick's engravings and antiquarian sporting literature. First published in 1735, The Chase is an enduring masterpiece of 18th-century sporting literature. Written in Miltonic blank verse by the Warwickshire country gentleman William Somervile, the poem vividly captures the thrill, tradition, and camaraderie of the hunt. Drawing on the authorâs own extensive experience, the work explores the breeding and training of hounds, the nuances of various hunting disciplines, and the breathtaking excitement of the chase itself. It remains a foundational text for enthusiasts of rural field sports and classic British poetry alike. Thomas Bewick and John Bewick (illustrator).…

8vo (210 x 130mm), frontispiece and pp. [ii], xl, 332; well rebound in modern green morocco, covers decorated in gilt, spine titled in gilt; marbled endpapers, gilt edges. First edition thus. This is a publication in which, as the publisher candidly confesses in the preface, 'Mr. Bewick has no concern, or interest whatever', because it consisted of blocks bought up by the Newcastle bookseller Emerson Charnley which he then used without Bewick's consent. Tattersfield tells the story of this edition at some length (II pp. 622-5), and distinguishes it from a later reprint by Henry Bohn (undated, but c. 1850) which does not have Hodgson's colophon at the very end of the volume. Although all the wood-engravings are by the Bewicks (except the frontispiece portrait of Thomas, which is by Charlton Nesbit), the contents are a mixture of blocks made for various publications. Tattersfield TB 2.576. Provenance. Bookplate of C.W. Dyson Perrins (1864-1958), the great collector of medieval manuscripts, books and other works of art.…
