R. and J. Dodsley, London. - No date. 1760. FIRST EDITION. Two volumes. 8vo. (6.2 x 4 inches). Portrait frontis in volume one. Previous owner name neatly written on blank free endpapers and a name clipped from the top of the title pages, otherwise very good, bright and clean copies throughout. Early full tan calf bindings with raised bands to the spines. Compartments double gilt ruled. Red title labels, gilt. Some minor wear to the extremities but overall very good and attractive bindings. ---- Complete as published, these first two volumes of Stern's Sermons of Mr. Yorrick, published anonymously in 1760, were added to at a later date with another five volumes issued between 1766 and 1769.

London: William Pickering, 1845. Small Octavo. Aldine edition of the British poets. In 6 volumes. Portrait frontispiece in volume one. A collection of Chaucer's poetical works along with a memoir. An exceptionally nice set. Though all the volumes appear to have been rebacked at an early date and beautifully executed. (It would not have been noticeable except; the marbled endpapers did not match the marbled edges). A beautiful set, bound in full polished calf, spines flat, maroon and brown spine labels gilt, gilt ruled compartments decoratively stamped in gilt, all edges marbled, remarkably fresh and bright internally, with a few bumped corners. A lovely set.

London: Groombridge & Sons Ten volumes (of 12 published), small thick octavo, all edges gilt, original cloth, with a full complement of 64 colour printed plates and 55 tinted plates, plus many dozens of text engravings, remarkably clean internally with just the very occasional mark or small stain. The cloth bindings are original, but changed in colour and style during the course of publication and are slightly worn overall; the first five volumes are faded and bleached, the upper cover of Volume XI is stained, the spines of the last five volumes are wrinkled, and Volume VII is slightly weak at the front and rear hinges; Volumes I & IV are cracked at the front and rear hinges. Despite any faults mentioned, I feel that the internal condition is exceptional, as is the size of this run - an almost complete set - which is very unusual. VERY SCARCE. A heavy set - extra postage will be necessary. [The Intellectual Observer was a reconfigured version of the discontinued Recreative Science, but as its… Read More
