Small chip to head of spine, else fine. Old shelf label at foot of spine, book label on front pastedown. ESTC T74575. First edition. An incredibly fresh and clean copy of the first edition of Addison’s account of his grand tour experiences in Italy. “After travelling south to Marseilles Addison took ship for Italy on 12 December 1700, but was driven back by a storm. In the end he reached Genoa by land, and then proceeded through Pavia to Milan and then Venice, after which he followed the accustomed route south, choosing to go via San Marino and Loreto as he journeyed briefly to Rome and then on to Naples. He climbed Vesuvius, sailed round Capri, and sailed back up the coast to Rome. Here he passed a more extended sojourn, visiting churches, annotating architecture and antiquities, and undertaking trips out to literary shrines such as Tivoli and Frascati. There were poetic echoes on almost every corner for a man as deeply imbued in the ancient corpus as Addison, and he was to coin the phrase ‘classic ground’ to express a pervading atmosphere of ageless accomplishment, as the familiar texts sprang unbidden into his mind” (ODNB). It was while crossing the Alps in December of 1701 that Addison wrote the poem “A Letter from Italy,” one of his most popular. $1,000 2 ADDISON, Joseph, Sir Richard STEELE, et al The Spectator.

A clean and bright copy in twentieth-century paneled calf, green and red morocco labels to spine, slightly shelf-worn, some ink annotations throughout mostly concerning the authorship of each work. THE WAR BETWEEN BOLINGBROKE AND WALPOLE. A sammelband of four pamphlets concerning Viscount Bolingbroke’s efforts to undermine the Walpole administration. Having recently returned from exile and though allowed to purchase property, Walpole denied Bolingbroke from restoration of his political rights, wary that he would abuse them. He proved correct and soon Bolingbroke undertook a campaign to resume power. 4 | James Cummins bookseller A paper war commenced, and Bolingbroke’s organ of choice was The Craftsman, “a journalistic venture which heralded the birth of a formidable opposition to Walpole and the beginnings of a propaganda campaign of sustained brilliance and of rare political sophistication. Edited by Nicholas Amhurst and printed by Richard Francklin, The Craftsman attracted contributions from Bolingbroke, Pulteney, and other leading thinkers and writers in the opposition camp … During its period of greatest influence, from 1729 to 1732, at least 8,000 copies of each issue were distributed and probably upwards of 12,000 copies in 1731 … The Craftsman aroused such public interest and so embarrassed the ministry that Walpole spent large sums subsidizing a pro-ministerial press to reply to it (and to attack Bolingbroke and Pulteney in particular); and he had Francklin arrested on several occasions in an effort to silence it” ODNB( ). The accusations bled beyond the pages of serial publications into pamphlets such as these here with Baron John Hervey often writing in defense of the government: [Bolingbroke, Viscount Henry St. John]. A Final Answer to the Remarks on the Craftsman’s Vindication. Second issue, reset from the first without the errata. London: R. Francklin, 1731. [Hervey, John]. Observations on the Writings of the Craftsman. First edition. London: J. Roberts in Warwick-Lane, 1730. An Answer To a late Pamphlet Intitled, Observations on the writings of the Craftsman. First edition. London: R. Francklin, 1731. Remarks on the craftsman’s Vindication of his Two Honble Patrons. Fifth edition. With half-title. London: J. Peele, 1731. $750 8 BOSWELL, James An Account of Corsica, The Journal of a Tour to that Island and Memoirs of Pascal Paoli. London: Foulis for E. and C. Dilly, 1768 Engraved title-page, large fold-out map (Rothschild, state 2). Half-title present. xxi, [xxii, blank], [2, contents], 382, [2, blank] pp. 8vo. Contemporary polished calf, red title label, Minor wear at joints, else fine. Gaskell, Foulis 473; Pottle 24; Rothschild 442. First edition, with cancels at E2 & Z3, in contemporary binding. Boswell’s first major work—an account of his trip to Corsica and his meeting with General Pasquale Paoli, leader of the Corsican independence movement. “With its reports of the gallant islanders and a Plutarchan depiction of Paoli paralleled with several classical heroes, [An Account of Corsica] was an immediate success. The work was widely read and translated, stimulated Catalogue 136 | 5 great interest in Paoli and the Corsican cause, brought its author wide fame in Britain and Europe, and found an interested readership among the Americans. It attracted the notice of the French government (which had a translation made), and though Boswell’s ambition for British intervention was not to be fulfilled, he probably influenced Britain’s decision to send secret supplies of arms to the Corsicans” (ODNB).

  • Night Thoughts on Man and Nature in the Poetry Oj Eighteenth-Century America
    Mental Nocturnes: Night Thoughts on Man and Nature in the Poetry oj Eighteenth-Century America IGHT BECAME A LITERARY TOPIC of the acutest interest during the early decades of the eighteenth century. Only at night did Nthe stars' lucent argument on behalf of a universal, providential order stand fully revealed. Yet night, too, was the period when imagination—sponsor of dreams, delusions, and fantasies—held sway. When the sun set the question arose as to whether reason or imagi- nation possessed the greater power. Would Newton's glorious truth be seen arrayed across the heavens? Or would the clouds of fancy obscure that glory with a melancholic gloom? British and British-American writers tested their mental dispositions in nocturnal verse to discover whether lucid reason or the more troublesome imagination would prevail. Some British writers— Thomas Parnell, Robert Blair, Bishop Porteus, Charles Emily—em- ployed the "night piece" to complain about man's inability to tran- scend his situation in "this world of sin and death."1 Others—James Thomson, John Gay, and David Mallet—sought to redeem night by viewing it as an essential component in nature's harmony.2 In America the "night piece" became a particularly important vehicle for ex- pressing a pessimistic view of the relation of man to nature. Four of the more ambitious works of colonial American belles lettres—James Ralph's Night (1728), Richard Lewis's "A Journey from Patapsco in Maryland to Annapolis, April 4, 1730," Thomas Godfrey, Jr.'s The The author wishes to thank the Citadel Development Foundation for its generous support of the research for this study.

  • Teaching Eighteenth-Century French Literature: the Good, the Bad and the Ugly
    Eighteenth-Century Modernities: Present Contributions and Potential Future Projects from EC/ASECS (The 2014 EC/ASECS Presidential Address) by Christine Clark-Evans It never occurred to me in my research, writing, and musings that there would be two hit, cable television programs centered in space, time, and mythic cultural metanarrative about 18th-century America, focusing on the 1760s through the 1770s, before the U.S. became the U.S. One program, Sleepy Hollow on the FOX channel (not the 1999 Johnny Depp film) represents a pre- Revolutionary supernatural war drama in which the characters have 21st-century social, moral, and family crises. Added for good measure to several threads very similar to Washington Irving’s “Legend of Sleepy Hollow” story are a ferocious headless horseman, representing all that is evil in the form of a grotesque decapitated man-demon, who is determined to destroy the tall, handsome, newly reawakened Rip-Van-Winkle-like Ichabod Crane and the lethal, FBI-trained, diminutive beauty Lt. Abigail Mills. These last two are soldiers for the politically and spiritually righteous in both worlds, who themselves are fatefully inseparable as the only witnesses/defenders against apocalyptic doom. While the main characters in Sleepy Hollow on television act out their protracted, violent conflict against natural and supernatural forces, they also have their own high production-level, R & B-laced, online music video entitled “Ghost.” The throaty feminine voice rocks back and forth to accompany the deft montage of dramatic and frightening scenes of these talented, beautiful men and these talented, beautiful women, who use as their weapons American patriotism, religious faith, science, and wizardry.

  • The Many Panics of 1837 People, Politics, and the Creation of a Transatlantic Financial Crisis
    The Many Panics of 1837 People, Politics, and the Creation of a Transatlantic Financial Crisis In the spring of 1837, people panicked as financial and economic uncer- tainty spread within and between New York, New Orleans, and London. Although the period of panic would dramatically influence political, cultural, and social history, those who panicked sought to erase from history their experiences of one of America’s worst early financial crises. The Many Panics of 1837 reconstructs the period between March and May 1837 in order to make arguments about the national boundaries of history, the role of information in the economy, the personal and local nature of national and international events, the origins and dissemination of economic ideas, and most importantly, what actually happened in 1837. This riveting transatlantic cultural history, based on archival research on two continents, reveals how people transformed their experiences of financial crisis into the “Panic of 1837,” a single event that would serve as a turning point in American history and an early inspiration for business cycle theory. Jessica M. Lepler is an assistant professor of history at the University of New Hampshire. The Society of American Historians awarded her Brandeis University doctoral dissertation, “1837: Anatomy of a Panic,” the 2008 Allan Nevins Prize. She has been the recipient of a Hench Post-Dissertation Fellowship from the American Antiquarian Society, a Dissertation Fellowship from the Library Company of Philadelphia’s Program in Early American Economy and Society, a John E.

Nussbaum, Chair Furbish’d Remnants argues that eighteenth-century theatrical adaptations set in the Orient destabilize categories of difference, introducing Oriental characters as subjects of sympathy while at the same time defamiliarizing the people and space of London. Applying contemporary theories of emotion, I contend that in eighteenth-century theater, the actor and the character become distinct subjects for the affective transfer of sympathy, increasing the emotional potential of performance beyond the narrative onstage. Adaptation as a form heightens this alienation effect, by drawing attention to narrative’s properties as an artistic construction. A paradox at the heart of eighteenth-century theater is that while the term “adaptation” did not have a specific literary or theatrical definition until near the end of the period, in practice adaptations and translations proliferated on the English stage.

  • Pdf\Preparatory\Charles Wesley Book Catalogue Pub.Wpd
    Proceedings of the Charles Wesley Society 14 (2010): 73–103. (This .pdf version reproduces pagination of printed form) Charles Wesley’s Personal Library, ca. 1765 Randy L. Maddox John Wesley made a regular practice of recording in his diary the books that he was reading, which has been a significant resource for scholars in considering influences on his thought.1 If Charles Wesley kept such diary records, they have been lost to us. However, he provides another resource among his surviving manuscript materials that helps significantly in this regard. On at least four occasions Charles compiled manuscript catalogues of books that he owned, providing a fairly complete sense of his personal library around the year 1765. Indeed, these lists give us better records for Charles Wesley’s personal library than we have for the library of brother John.2 The earliest of Charles Wesley’s catalogues is found in MS Richmond Tracts.3 While this list is undated, several of the manuscript hymns that Wesley included in the volume focus on 1746, providing a likely time that he started compiling the list. Changes in the color of ink and size of pen make clear that this was a “growing” list, with additions being made into the early 1750s. The other three catalogues are grouped together in an untitled manuscript notebook containing an assortment of financial records and other materials related to Charles Wesley and his family.4 The first of these three lists is titled “Catalogue of Books, 1 Jan 1757.”5 Like the earlier list, this date indicates when the initial entries were made; both the publication date of some books on the list and Wesley’s inscriptions in surviving volumes make clear that he continued to add to the list over the next few years.
