Bentham, 1771 A title page to Vol.2 and an unnumbered leaf are inserted between pages 224 and 225; the Directions to the binder indicate that the use of this title page and the division into 2 volumes was optional. “[This] great literary achievement of Bentham was begun in 1756, when he circulated among his friends printed lists of the abbots, bishops, priors, and deans of Ely, for the purpose of obtaining materials for his history of the cathedral church. Five years later he sent out proposals for publishing this elaborate work at the remarkably low price of eighteen shillings, which he found himself obliged, however, soon after to raise to one guinea. Though the cost of the plates was defrayed by the several persons to whom they were dedicated, this was perhaps one of the cheapest books ever published in England. The work was sent to the press in 1764, and was delivered to the subscribers in 1771. It was printed at Cambridge in a quarto volume by Joseph Bentham, a brother of the historian, and alderman of Cambridge, who for many years was printer to the university.” (DNB). ESTC T101266.

176. (Moore, John, Bishop of Ely) Pyle, Thomas.

Referring to “the Living of Outwell in the Queen’s books” and forwarding a document for the Bishop to rectify and apply a stamp, amid a myriad of other details. No place: Oct. 28, 1709 The Reverend Pyle graduated from Cambridge in 1696, ordained a Deacon by Said Bishop Moore and became Rector of Outwell, 1709. A strong Whig, Pyle preached in London and his Paraphrase of the Acts and Epistles, in the manner of Dr. Clarke (1725) gained support of dissenters, and Pyle made no secret of his views on the Trinity, in which he adopted an Arian position, reveling in what he called “the glorious prerogative of private judgment, the birth-right of Protestants”. He published a number of other works through the mid 18th Century. Bishop John Moore was known as a major book collector, amassing a library of 30,000 items, which may have been the largest in England. To celebrate his coronation, King George I caused it to be purchased intact and donated to Cambridge University, which at that time contained nearly twice the material in the existing University library. It is still largely intact and called the Royal Library, in honor of its patron. Very good condition with a few short edge tears, folds and some overall age soiling. (200/300)

(7x5¼”), period sheep. Third Impression “much inlarged”. London: Printed by E. Tyler, for Richard Thrale, 1661 “...The work by which [Peacham] is best known... The treatise was written for William Howard, Lord Arundel’s youngest son, a boy of eight, to whom it is dedicated. The lad had not been Peacham’s pupil; but they had met at Norwich, while the boy was a pupil of the bishop there. The book was suggested to him by M. de Ligny of Artois, who called Peacham’s attention to the defective equipment of English youths in the matter of accomplishments. It is an interesting endeavour to encourage young men to devote themselves at once to the arts and athletic exercises. A valuable survey is incidentally given of contemporary English efforts in science, art, and literature. A second impression, ‘much inlarged,’ appeared in 1626, and again in 1627, with an attractive chapter on fishing among other additions. This edition was reissued in 1634. A third edition, with additional notes on blazonry by Thomas Blount (1618-1679) [q.v.], is dated 1661; from this volume Dr. Johnson drew all the heraldic definitions in his dictionary” - DNB.

Within weeks after it’s publication it became the most widely circulated publication in England with an initial circulation of 50,000 per week it grew to over 150,000 per issue until facing a gradual decline to 1840.

Robinson, 1799 First translated into English the prior year. Sailing from France in 1785, La Pérouse was to examine such parts of the Pacific as had not yet been explored by James Cook; to seek for an interoceanic passage; to make scientific observations on the various countries, peoples, and products; to obtain reliable information about the fur trade and the extent of Spanish settlement in California (with the possibility of seizing some parts north of the Spanish), and to promote in general the inducements for French enterprise in that quarter. He reached the northwest coast and Alaska in June, 1786, was in Monterey, California on September 14, sailed westward, charted around Japan and the Pacific Islands, etc., and finally anchored in Botany Bay, Australia in January 1788. He left Australia in mid-February, but would perish at sea. The remains of his vessel were found on a island to the north of the New Hebrides in 1826. Fortunately, from the dispatches sent from Australia and, prior to that, from Kamchatka, the account of his Voyages was constructed. Hill asserts that “Lapérouse made a valuable contribution to the history of geographical discovery, particularly with regard to the American coast and the natives of America...” Howes is of the opinion that “of all modern exploring voyages to the Pacific those of Cook, La Perouse and Vancouver were the most important.” Bindings worn, spines unmatched, covers detached; staining and foxing throughout.

Joannes Rubeus also completed the work in 1490, and issued copies with that date in the colophon.

Cotes...], [1632] The second folio edition of William Shakespeare’s Works, one of the landmarks of English literature. While essentially a page-for-page reprint of the first, the second folio is famed for its inclusion, on the “Effigies” leaf, of Milton’s “An Epitaph on the admirable Dramaticke Poet, W. Shakespeare” -- the first appearance in print of any work of Milton’s. Gregg notes that, “Though many errors were introduced in the course of reprinting, the text of the present edition shows signs of careful, if unauthorized, revision.” The primary publisher was Robert Allot, with three additional partners, and thus variations in the imprint, however the present copy lacks the title-page and other prelims. before the “Effigies” leaf, so the question of issue is moot. The Effigies leaf itself is in Robert Metcalf Smith’s “C” state. STC 22274; Greg III, pp.1113-1116; PMM 122 (1st Folio).

(6½x4”), 19th century half calf and marbled boards. No place: 1583 A forgery, in the style of Cicero, typically attributed to Carlo Sigonio. Sigonio was a highly respected Italian scholar who specialized in the history of Rome. Around 1583 he claimed to have located a new complete work by the Roman orator Cicero in which he grieves for his daughter’s death. Only small fragments had previously been found before. The discovery of this manuscript caused great excitement among scholars but when published the general consensus was that it was a fake. Sigonio defended the work, but it is still today regarded as a forgery. There are several 1583 editions (London, Paris, Venice, etc.) but none matching the pagination of the present edition. No copies located on WorldCat, Copac, or in auction records. Bookplate of Walter Wilson Greg on front pastedown. Spine rubbed, front hinge cracked, near fine. (500/800)

It can then be determined whether the item or items under consideration would do well at auction. Following this, arrangements can be made for the delivery of the material to PBA. In the case of large consignments or libraries, a member of the staff may be able to view the books on location, and make arrangements for its transportation to PBA Galleries. Because of the costs involved, PBA discourages consignments with a total value of less than $1500.
