A COLLECTION of 21 Broadside Ballads, including A Godly Ballad of the Just Man, Job. Mainly London, c. 1680- 1820, 5 illustrated with a woodcut, some fragile and a few with repairs or laid down, various sizes £2,500 A Godly Ballad of the Just Man, Job, c.1680, is the earliest piece in the collection (browned, fragile, frayed at edges with slight loss to imprint: library stamp below drophead title), and has 2 Wing numbers, G933I and H2014. The second number is for a double- page broadside, which has the Godly Ballad on the right, with the imprint, and Thomas Hill’s Doleful Dance on the left. The paired ballads are ESTC S117492 and apparently R235553 as well: Job on its own does not have an ESTC number. Broadside ballads were often, if not usually, printed two or more to a sheet, intended to be cut up and each ballad hawked singly. The other ballads in the collection are mainly late 18th and early 19th century, the majority romantic, with an admixture of the tragic, and the macabre. There are 6 political ballads, 1 on the wedding of the Prince Regent (1765), 1 lampooning the Whigs in 1790, and 1 anti-French and specifically anti-republican. A full list is available on request. 1 BLACKWELL’S RARE BOOKS 5. Barbaro (Ermolao) [Castigationes Plinianae et Pomponii Melae.] Rome: Impressit Eucharius Argenteus... Octavo Kalendas Decembris, 1492 [and] Idibus Feb. 1493, FIRST EDITION, one leaf with a central wax stain causing a small area of damage (with three letters lost from text on verso), another leaf a bit soiled overall and with a short closed split in blank margin, some light spotting elsewhere but generally clean, fore-edge of first leaf slightly short, small blind stamps to blank margin of first and last leaf,ff. [348], folio (305 x 205 mm), eighteenth-century English red morocco, boards gilt in Harleian style, rebacked in brick-red morocco, lettered in gilt direct and with a narrow paper label above, corners worn, boards a bit scratched, hinges reinforced with cloth tape, library bookplate to front pastedown, good (ISTC ib00100000 [this the Wigan PL copy]; Bod-inc B-046; BMC IV 113; Goff B100) £4,500 The major work of Ermolao Barbaro (or Hermolaus Barbarus, 1453-1493), a collection of annotations on Pliny’s Natural History, also containing notes on Pomponius Mela. ‘Pliny’s first great commentator was Ermolao Barbaro, a philosophy profesor at Padua, who proposed nearly 5,000 corrections in his Castigationes Plinianae (1492-1493)... Working from two printed editions, Barbaro combed Pliny’s text for errors that had accumulated over the centuries. He distinguished between corrections he considered as definitive and those suggesting mere pathways for later philologists. When he corrected the text, he usually relied on ancient manuscripts. But he also followed the authority of other authors... and ultimately offered some guesses suggested by context’ (‘Natural History’ in Grafton, et al., The Classical Tradition). Barbaro’s ‘researches into natural philosophy, particularly the text of Dioscurides, continued during the 1480s and eventually found expression in his Castigationes Plinianae, published in Rome during 1492 and 1493 by Eucharius Silber and immediately saluted as the most authoritative discussion of Pliny’s Historia naturalis available’ (Contemporaries of Erasmus). The first part of the notes on Pliny (filling the majority of the volume) has a separate colophon, dated 1492, while the second part and the notes on Pomponius Mela, which begin a new set of signatures, have their own colophon dated 1493. However, it appears that the parts were always issued together. 6. Beda (Natalis) [Béda (Noël)] Annotationum ... in Jacobum Fabrum Stapulensem libri duo: et in Desiderium Erasmum Roterdamum liber unus ... [colophon:] Cologne: Petet Quentel. 1526, second edition, first and last leaves browned at edges,Ff. [xii], CCXCII, 4to, contemporary calf over wooden boards, blind roll tooled borders on sides, the resultant panel filled with repeated vertical roll tooling, brass clasps and catches (one loosening), rebacked and with several repairs to covers including some loss of surface, calligraphic ownership inscription on verso of last leaf of the Carthusians of Wedderen (the volume possibly bound by them), shelf mark on first page, good (Adams B443) £1,500 ‘Béda’s Annotationes against Erasmus and d’Étaples appeared in 1526 ... Erasmus complained about Béda’s attack for several years. More important, he succeeded in having the book withdrawn from sale, although Josse Bade reported that half of the 625 copies he had printed were already dispersed throughout Europe, and a Cologne edition appeared shortly thereafter’ (Contemporaries of Erasmus). Whether this Cologne edition was likewise suppressed does not seem to be recorded, but it is scarcer in libraries than the Paris edition, printed three months earlier. 7. (Bible. New Testament. St. Matthew. Carib.) HENDERSON (Alexander, trans.) The Gospel according to Matthew. (In the Charibbean language). Edinburgh: Thomas Constable, 1847, FIRST EDITION, title-pages in English and Carib, a bit of foxing, mostly at ends, pp. 88, 8vo, original fine-grained cloth, slight wear to head of spine, very good (Darlow and Moule 2394) £750 The first of the Gospels to be translated into Carib (Mark and John followed about half a century later). ‘The Translator was from 1835 to 1846 a B.M.S. missionary at Belize.

  • Classical Nakedness in British Sculpture and Historical Painting 1798-1840 Cora Hatshepsut Gilroy-Ware Ph.D Univ
    MARMOREALITIES: CLASSICAL NAKEDNESS IN BRITISH SCULPTURE AND HISTORICAL PAINTING 1798-1840 CORA HATSHEPSUT GILROY-WARE PH.D UNIVERSITY OF YORK HISTORY OF ART SEPTEMBER 2013 ABSTRACT Exploring the fortunes of naked Graeco-Roman corporealities in British art achieved between 1798 and 1840, this study looks at the ideal body’s evolution from a site of ideological significance to a form designed consciously to evade political meaning. While the ways in which the incorporation of antiquity into the French Revolutionary project forged a new kind of investment in the classical world have been well-documented, the drastic effects of the Revolution in terms of this particular cultural formation have remained largely unexamined in the context of British sculpture and historical painting. By 1820, a reaction against ideal forms and their ubiquitous presence during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic wartime becomes commonplace in British cultural criticism. Taking shape in a series of chronological case-studies each centring on some of the nation’s most conspicuous artists during the period, this thesis navigates the causes and effects of this backlash, beginning with a state-funded marble monument to a fallen naval captain produced in 1798-1803 by the actively radical sculptor Thomas Banks. The next four chapters focus on distinct manifestations of classical nakedness by Benjamin West, Benjamin Robert Haydon, Thomas Stothard together with Richard Westall, and Henry Howard together with John Gibson and Richard James Wyatt, mapping what I identify as

Dates: 1861-1932 (also Leader Family correspondence 1848-1890) Level: Fonds Extent: 23 boxes Name of creator: Anthony John Mundella Administrative / biographical history: The content of the papers is mainly political, and consists largely of the correspondence of Mundella, a prominent Liberal M.P. of the later 19th century who attained Cabinet rank.

At the time of writing, Joyce was taking a much-needed break in Denmark and four-year-old Stephen was staying at the Villa des Roses in Menthon-St-Bernard. Anywho, I know nothing of the political situation where he was at the time this was written, so the satire falls flat. Brought a big smile to my face. The Foundation has called its publication an "outrage", stressing that it has not granted permission for the book's release. Showing Reuse this content. In spite of their poverty, the family struggled to maintain a solid middle-class facade.

I love the story behind this, about Joyce's relationship with his only grandson and the Trojan cat he sent him full of treats. Very similar to The Cat and the Devil , this is highly recommended!

  • A Writer's Calendar
    A WRITER’S CALENDAR Compiled by J. L. Herrera for my mother and with special thanks to Rose Brown, Peter Jones, Eve Masterman, Yvonne Stadler, Marie-France Sagot, Jo Cauffman, Tom Errey and Gianni Ferrara INTRODUCTION I began the original calendar simply as a present for my mother, thinking it would be an easy matter to fill up 365 spaces. Instead it turned into an ongoing habit. Every time I did some tidying up out would flutter more grubby little notes to myself, written on the backs of envelopes, bank withdrawal forms, anything, and containing yet more names and dates. It seemed, then, a small step from filling in blank squares to letting myself run wild with the myriad little interesting snippets picked up in my hunting and adding the occasional opinion or memory. The beginning and the end were obvious enough. The trouble was the middle; the book was like a concertina — infinitely expandable. And I found, so much fun had the exercise become, that I was reluctant to say to myself, no more. Understandably, I’ve been dependent on other people’s memories and record- keeping and have learnt that even the weightiest of tomes do not always agree on such basic ‘facts’ as people’s birthdays. So my apologies for the discrepancies which may have crept in. In the meantime — Many Happy Returns! Jennie Herrera 1995 2 A Writer’s Calendar January 1st: Ouida J. D. Salinger Maria Edgeworth E. M.

APPROVED BY MEMBERS OF THE THESIS COMMITTEE: Ann Weikel, Chairman Charles A. Le Guin Michael F. Reardon -=.v Cf) Reece In early 1868 William E. Gladstone presented several bills in Parliament to disestablish the Church of Ireland. Prior to 1868 Gladstone had stated his opposition to the official connection between the Church of Ireland and the State. Gladstone, however, had also claimed that he was not in favor of immediate action and instead advocated restraint in attacking the Church of Ireland. The 1860's also saw the rise of the Fenian organization. The Fenians were dedicated to the overthrow of English rule in Ireland and the 2 establishment of an Irish republic.
