Cloth. Condition: Very Good. Not Stated (illustrator). A charming collection of short stories for children by John Aikin and Anne Barbauld. Rebound in cloth with renewed endpapers and gilt lettering to the spine label. Illustrated with a frontispiece and a vignette to the title page. A lovely anthology collecting the short stories for children of John Aikin and his sister, Anna Laetitia Barbauld. First published 1796, this is considered an early example of children's literature. Aikin was a doctor, but later devoted himself to writing. Barbauld was a prominent poet and children's author, known for being amongst the first writers to consider children as an audience, publishing 'Lessons for Children' and 'Hymns in Prose for Children'. Forgotten by history due to Romantic poets such as Wordsworth and Coleridge shunning her works in their Conservative years, she has recently seen a revival in interest, with feminist literary critics turning their attention to her writings. Rebound in cloth. Externally very smart, though spine is slightly faded, with a little bumping to the spine label, which is otherwise intact. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are generally bright and clean, apart from the odd spot and some offsetting to the frontispiece and title page. Very Good. book.

Book
Full-Leather. Condition: Good. Second Edition. All fifty volumes of this set of British novels. This is a new edition dating from 1820. This set was originally published in 1810. All are in at least good condition with rubbing to the spine and around the edges and some light discolouration to the front and rear panels. Each volume has two title panels on the spine - at the top this has 'British Novels' and the volume number and at the bottom the title of the individual novel. Most of these panels have unfortunately been lost with the top panel only on eleven volumes and the bottom panel on only thirteen with some of these only remaining in part. There is a little browning to the tops of the marbled page edges. Each volume has the original owner's bookplate - this was Alfred Octavius Hartley, M.A. of Steeple Ashton Vicarage in Wells in Norfolk. There is brown spotting on the title pages of each volume with some spotting on the following pages and the equivalent pages at the back of the book. There is some spotting through each book but this is generally quite light and does not affect all the pages. Volumes 1-8 Clarissa by Samuel Richardson; Volumes 9-15 Sir Charles Grandison by Richardson; Volumes 16 and 17 Robinson Crusoe by Daniel Defoe; Volume 18 Joseph Andrews by Henry Fielding; Volumes 19-21 Tom Jones by Fielding; Volume 22 The Old English Baron by Clara Reeve and The Castle of Otranto by Horace Walpole; Volume 23 History of Pompey the Little by Francis Coventry and The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith; Volumes 24 and 25 The Female Quixote by Charlotte Lennox; Volume 26 The History of Rasselas by Samuel Johnson and Almoran and Hamlet by Dr John Hawkesworth; Volume 27 The History of Lady Julia Mandeville by Frances Brooke and Nature and Art by Elizabeth Inchbald; Volume 28 A Simple Story by Inchbald; Volume 29 The Man of Feeling and Julia de Roubigne by Henry MacKenzie; Volumes 30 and 31 Humphrey Clinker by Tobias Smollett; Volumes 32 and 33 The Spiritual Quixote by Geoffry Wildgoose; Volumes 34 and 35 Zeluco by Dr John Moore; Volumes 36 and 37 The Old Manor House by Charlotte Smith; Volumes 38 and 39 Evelina by Frances (Fanny) Burney; Volumes 40-42 Cecilia by Burney; Volumes 43 and 44 The Romance of the Forest by Ann Radcliffe; Volumes 45-47 The Mysteries of Udolpho by Radcliffe; Volume 48 Man as He is Not or Hermsprong by Robert Bage and Volumes 49-50 Belinda by Maria Edgeworth.
