Description:
London, J. Dodsley, 1781. 2 leaves (misnumbered), 88 pp. 8vo. Contemporary half calf (rubbed). From the library of John Whitefoord Mackenzie, with his bookplate (his sale March 24, 1886). London, J. Dodsley, 1781. The preceding first edition was privately printed in 1768 in an edition of only 50 copies on the author's own Strawberry Hill Press, in Twickenham south-west of London. This present drama by Horatio Walpole, 4th Earl of Orford (1717-1797), cousin of Lord Nelson and English man of letter, dealt with another topic that would attract much (scandalized) attention in the Romantic period: incest. - ESTCT 41679; Dibdin, Tour II, p. 619.

Description:
St. Gall, Ruprecht Weniger for the author, 1740. Title printed in red and black. With richly figured engr. frontispiece by Jacob Gottlieb Thelot, and engr. folding map of canton Appenzell by Gabriel Walser, in contemp. handcoloring. 8 unn. leaves, 752 pp., 112 pp. appendix. 8vo. Contemp. leather with gilt spine label (some repairs). St. Gall, Ruprecht Weniger for the author, 1740. First edition of the main work of Gabriel Walser (1695-1776). He considered it as a continuation of the chronicle of Bischoffberger which leads up to 1682; the present "Neue Chronick" stops in 1732, when political events took place that he was not allowed to comment upon, being himself involved. While he still considerd history to be a mirror of God's omnipotence, he based a lot of information on his own research and experience; his topographical descriptions were the result of explorations, as was his map, published here for the first time and for years to come the basis for the mapping of the region.

Description:
Berlin, Bruno Cassirer, 1907. 319 pp. 8vo. Orig. boards with orig. color lithography on front cover, and book design by Karl Walser (cover slightly split and discolored). Berlin, Bruno Cassirer, 1907. First edition. A second, undated edition appeared in the same year. It was the poet (1878-1956) who suggested to the publisher to use his brother Karl's (1877-1942) illustrations. His siblings and Robert Walser himself served as models for the characters of the partially autobiographical "The Tanners", one of the most important pieces of early 20th century German literature. Both Hermann Hesse and Kurt Tucholsky found, at a later date, praise for the novel. - Wilpert/Gühring II 2; Badorrek-Hoguth B 84.1. HELVETICA: ALLGEMEIN ; LITERATURE ;
