Description:
Williamsburg, Virginia: Printing Office Of The Williamsburg Foundation. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1972. Softcover. Written as a tract to inform Delegates to the Continental Congress, the Summary View impressed some Delegates sufficiently that they had it printed as a pamphlet by Clementina Rind, the only woman printer in Williamsburg. In this tract, Jefferson's eloquently expressed grievances against King George III and Parliament showed his compositional skill and were instrumental in his being selected to write the Declaration of Independence. This facsimile edition was set in Caslon type and letterpress printed and bound by the Printing and Post Office, Williamsburg, Virginia. On fine, cream paper. As with other copies we've handled, the type was deeply struck by an enthusiastic printer. Comprised of three gathers, side stitched with what appears to be flax twine or cord. In overall Fine condition.; Narrow 8vo 8" to 9" tall; 23 pages .

No Place Stated: The Viking Press. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1928. First Edition Thus; First Printing. Hardcover. All extremities lightly bumped and a bump to the edge of the spine. Spine slightly darkened. Slightly shaken. Lacks the dust jacket. ; Volpone; Or, the Fox, first presented in 1605, is Ben Jonson's dark satire of high society, abuse of privilege, and the greed of Volpone's parasitic acquaintances who desire his worldly fortune. This is Jonson's drama rewritten into a different version for the stage by Stefan Zweig, the Austrian novelist and playwright. Ruth Langer translated this version from the German. In this "cleaned up" adaptation some of the lust and lechery has been removed, the dwarf, hermaphrodite, and eunuch have been written out of the story, and a courtesan has been written in. The cover, pastedown, and endpaper pattern; frontispiece; and initial letter were all drawn by Aubrey Beardsley and previously appeared in The Bodley Head edition.…
