Description:
London: Printed for Whittaker & Co...., 1836. 8vo, 220 x 136, pp. 423 [424], steel-engraved head- and tail-pieces, original embossed cloth, title in gitl on spine; some slight wear to binding and spine a little faded, but a very good copy. Although Redding (1785 - 1870) earned his living as a journalist, he is best remembered for this book, first published in 1833. Oxford DNB gives a short history of its success: "From 1841 Redding devoted himself more exclusively to books, his versatility and industry being alike remarkable. His most influential work was his History and Description of Modern Wines (1833, with later editions in 1836, 1851, and 1860); the text was based on careful personal observation and gleanings from many sources, including the treatise of 1787 by John Croft of York. By advocating the reduction of the duties on French wines, Redding's work did much to educate public opinion on this subject and to prepare the way for the rectification of the tariff in 1860, and it… Read More

Description:
London: Printed for Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans..., 1841. Tall 8vo, 219 x 136 mms., pp. ix [x blank, xi Contents, xii blank], 210, [2], 32 [adverts], including half-title, contemporary embossed cloth, inscribed on recto of front free end-paper, "William French/ from his affectionate/ Brother Robert/ August 1858," and in pencil on half-title, "R B French/ from his affect. Father." Robert French was the grandson of the landowner and politician Robert French (1716 - 1779), and his brother was, I think, the college head and schoolmaster William French (1786 - 1849). Hoare (1789 - 1849) published this in 1835, and it was followed by a second edition in 1837. Hoare made revisions to the text for the second edition, but this third edition seems to be a straightforward reprint of the second, though more leaves of adverts at the end. The first edition was reviewed at length in The Quarterly Review (1840), with the reviewer amusingly beginning, "In this age of socialism,… Read More

New York: Published by the Author, 1883. 8vo, pp. [ii], 270, original cloth, cover blocked in gilt; very slight wear to extremities, spine faded, but a very good copy. Dr. Ellis (1815 - 1896) doesn't think wine is good for you, nutritionally or spiritually.

A copy will also be sent free "to any reader of and believer in the doctrines revealed by the Lord in the writings of Emanuel Swedenborg...." No further editions seem to have been published.

Description:
London, Printed for Will. Whitwood at the Angel and Bible in Little Britain Book 1692. 12mo, 133 x 78 mms., pp. [vi], 183 [184 blank. 185 - 194 Contents, 195 - 196, recent full speckled calf, gilt spine, red morocco label; title-page slightly dusty, the Vintner part has damp stains leaving tide marks (see attached images), a few edges slightly ragged, pale age-browning throughout, a few leaves tightly bound in first part. The second discourse is devoted to wine, in particular methods for preventing their putrefaction, together with "Some Observations on the Ordering of Wines" by Christopher Merret. Merret was the first person to document that the addition of sugar to wine caused a secondary fermentation that turned it into a sparkling wine.

Description:
London: Printed for W. Mears..., 1727. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, 190 x 110 mms., pp. [xvi], 192, engraved frontispiece (by H. Fletcher after R. Cooper), woodcut illustration on page 83, contemporary (or slightly later) panelled calf, engraved armorial bookplate (possibly that of Sir Paul Methuen) on front paste-down end-paper; top and base of spine chipped, title-page in very fine facsimile, and a very good copy. The dedication is to James Brydges, first Duke of Chandos (1674-1744), perhaps encouraging him to attempt a vineyard at Chandos, his estate in what is now Herefordshire. Although the dedication is signed "S. J.," Blanche Henrey in British Botanical and Horticultural Literature before 1800 contends (II, 450) that the work was probably by Richard Bradley (1688-1732), the botanical writer, because the publisher, Mears, was also associated with a number of Bradley's publications. � The ornate armorial bookplate in this copy appears to be Chippendale in style and period, which… Read More
