1694 1ed Oriental Maxims of Arab Turkish Persian Wit Voyages Richelieu Galland

Antoine Galland was a 17th-century French orientalist who is best known for his translation of 'Arabian Nights'. However, his push to expand Europe's appreciation for the orient extended beyond 'One Thousand and One Nights' to his own collection of Persian, Arab, and Turkish maxims entitled 'Les Paroles Remarquables'. 'The Remarkable Words and Maxims of Orientals' was first published in 1694 and saw immediate and widespread success, much in part to it being shorter than similar works of maxims. (Dew, p.186).

This book is filled with clever sayings, witty jokes, and short anecdotes that, as Galland claims, come from 'the Orientals'. This first edition was an important piece in the development of Orientalism in France and makes mention of various French authors and poets, George Wheler's voyages, Amelot de la Houssaye's travel notes, and even a political testament from Cardinal Richelieu.

1857 1ed Life of Charlotte Bronte by Gaskell English Romance Literature 2v SET

"I would always rather be happy than dignified."
― Charlotte Brontë, Jane Eyre

Charlotte Brontë is perhaps one of the most well-known English novelists of the 19th-century, let alone being the most-popular female author of English literature. Her works, such as 'Jane Eyre', propelled her fame and made a lasting impact on English literature. However, in 1857, fellow female English author Elizabeth Gaskell contributed to Brontë's success with her biography of Brontë. It is curious that much of the contents of this book came from Charlotte herself and her many letters and written correspondences.

A beautiful, two-volume First American edition was published in 1857.
