London: Printed and Sold by T. Read..., 1739. 8vo, 223 x 150 mms., pp. [ii], 70, 19th century quarter morocco, reddish boards (rubbed); ex-library, with a circular ownership stamp of Chas. W. Banks, San Francisco, May 21 1876 on the title-page, and the bookplate of the Ferniehield Library on the front paste-down end-paper; spine worn with joints slightly cracked, newspaper clippings removed from front free end-paper. This is not, of course, the original edition, but a 19th century facsimile; a watermark - "Michallet" is distinguishable in the lower margins of B3, C3, and D4; vertical chains are also visible, but the book is unlikely to have been printed on laid paper. This is possibly the facsimile printed by John Camden Hotten in 1862.

London: Printed by Baylis, Greville-Street, and Sold by the Author, No. 29, Great Pulteney-Street, Golden-Square, and by all the Booksellers in Town and Country. 1798. FIRST EDITION. 8vo (in 4s), 200 x 122 mms., pp. [iv], 235 [236 directions for plates], with adverts on verso of half-title, engraved plate before first page of text, another engraved plate between pages 98 and 99, and ms. facsimile at end of text, contemporary tree calf, gilt spine, red leather label (both rather faded), possibly rebacked with old spine laid down; some foxing to the first few and last few leaves, but nonetheless a very good copy indeed. Jean-Baptiste Cléry (1759-1809) had close access to Louis XVI, King of France, as his valet, holding that position most crucially during the period of the king's imprisonment in the Temple: the king "was arrested on 25 September 1793," and later "avoided the fate of the guillotine," only to be "freed on 27 July 1794" (Wikipedia).…

London, Printed for Henry Herrignman..., 1670. FIRST EDITION. Small 8vo, 163 x 105 mms., pp. [viii], 247 [248 blank], notes in pencil on recto of rear free end-paper, later wrappers; front hinge exposed, but a good to very good copy. This abridged translation of Voyage d'Espagne curieux, historique, et politique (1665) by Antoine de Brunel is also attributed to François van Aerssen, 1572-1641, and to his grandson François van Aerssen, 1630-1658. "Dutch diplomat Antoine de Brunel's Voyage d'Espagne (A Journey into Spain, 1665) tends to burden the reader with intricacies of court politics, but he also inserts here and there superb portraits of political figures - under lining the pettiness of the Spanish nobility - as well as poignant descriptions of a mostly desolate land, its miserable lodgings, its precarious buildings, and other evidence to Spain's low quality of life" (Fernando Cabo Aseguinolaza, Anxo Abuín González, César…

Fleemanj 75.1J/4. "The printer made an attempt to produce a page-for-page reprint of the 1st London 8vo edition...in a 2 vol. 12mo format, but the effort failed after 2 sheets..., and in vol. 2 where the pagination commenced at 25 the attempt was less successful, though a new star was again made at F1 (p. 289). This section may have been the work of another printer if the work was shared out to hasten the reprint, thought the type is the same." The reprint was, of course, a piracy.

P. Alex. Pag Benacenses F. Bena. .V. .V. [Aexander and Paganinus de Paganinis: Toscolano] [?1517 - 1525]. Small 8vo, 150 x 88 mms., unpaginated, a-q8, contemporary vellum, faded red morocco label; binding a bit soiled, but a very good copy. The first edition of this translation by Georgio Summaripa (1435 - 1496) of Juvenal's satires was first published in 1480 (Tarvisii : M. Manzolinus). The earliest edition of Juvenal seems to be that published in 1469 by Ulrich Hand in Rome (see Curt F. Bühler, "The Earliest Editions of Juvenal," Studies in the Renaissance [1955]). The text is printed in italics, first used by Aldus in 1501, and Summaripa's was the first translation into Italian. Book historians now think that the publishers Paganino and Alessandro Paganini, particularly the latter, were the first to create an editorial series, i. e., books that shared the same editorial characteristics, presentation, and size. The printer's mark used here, P.ALEX.PAG./…
