Laminated boards, small 8vo, 22 cm, xv, 266 pp. From the blurb: "Irish Booksellers and English Writers looks at what are often called pirated editions of English writers, focusing on Richardson, Fielding, Smollett, Sterne, Johnson, Boswell, Goldsmith and Gibbon. It shows how Irish booksellers reprinted London editions without authorization and then sold them at reduced prices not only in Ireland but in Britain and especially in the United States. It is ironic that by such piracy the Irish book trade brought the works of these writers to a wider audience than they would otherwise have had. Moreover, between 1750 and 1820, more than one hundred Irish printers and booksellers emigrated to the United States, at first importing reprints from their former colleagues in Dublin but soon issuing their own reprints in Philadelphia, New York and Baltimore. The outstanding member of this group was Mathew Carey, prototype of the modern publisher and founder of America's first publishing house, Lea and Febiger, which celebrated its bicentennial in 1985. In addition, fifteen others have earned listings in the Dictionary of American Biography for their achievements in publishing and related fields. This book will be of interest to scholars and students of eighteenth-century studies, English literature, history of the book trade, copyright law, Irish and American history, as well as to antiquarian book dealers, bibliographers, genealogists and students of library science."

Octavo, brown cloth (hardcover), gilt letters, xiv, 385 pp. First Edition. From dust jacket: Dialogues of the Great Things of Brazil, an inestimable contribution to Brazilian history and literature, is the first English translation of the 1618 Portuguese work Dialogos das grandezas do Brasil. As the late Frederick Holden Hall, Luso-Brazilian bibliographer for the Newberry Library and initiator of the project, once remarked: "The Dialogues are the equivalent for Brazil of the writings of Captain Smith for Virginia." Evidently written to encourage immigration, the Dialogues describe the history of the colonization of northeastern Brazil and the agricultural and mineral wealth of the new land. In addition, the author provides information about every aspect of the land and people of the region: geography, history, flora and fauna, scenery. The inhabitants are described in an account enlivened by anecdote, speculation, and personal recollection. Indeed, through the voice of Brandonio, the ardent defender of Brazil, Brandao expresses his own enthusiasm for his adopted country. Alviano, the "hertetic in things Brazilian," is offset against Brandonio to repreent those who considered the New World a worthless land. The translation is based on a seventeenth-century manuscript in the library of the University of Leyden. This manuscript is evidently a copy of a work presumably by Ambrosio Fernandes Brandao, a rich sugar planter who had immigrated to Brazil from Portugal. After Hall's death in 1972, the project was taken over by two of his colleagues -- William Harrison, a Brazilianist at Northern Illinois University, and Dorothy Winters Welker, an editor, writer, and former professor of foreign languages. They completed Hall's manuscript, added extensive annotations, and included illustrations. Scholars and beginning students alike will find the Dialogues to be fascinating reading as well as an invaluable scholarly resource.
