Condition Original quarter leather & mottled hardback binding in Very Good condition, minor rubbing, gilt embossed title to spine and gilt library number to base of spine. Contents Very Good, clean & tight, Library label to 1st front endpage, Hampshire county Library stamp over-stamped with Withdrawn stamp (that just about seeps through to Title page). Just a few pencil inscriptions. A few corner tips missing, minor tear within one page to base not affecting text, one edge tear, a couple of pages printed on slightly smaller paper pages. It states Eighteenth Edition but it seems Lacon was first published in 1820, with Volume II only published in 1822,and published with other poems at the rear. We note most dealers list this as xiii + 267 pages, that is because they do not correctly collate their book, as it is infact 267 pages and this includes pages xiii at front then continuing into the text. Rev. Charles Caleb Colton (1780-1832), was true English eccentric, educated Eton & King's College Cambridge, Vicar of Kew and Petersham 1812, he was also an author, gambler and wine merchant, he fled from his creditors. For two years Colton travelled throughout the United States. He later established a modest residence in Paris. There he invested in an art gallery and had a large private collection of valuable paintings. Other pastimes included wine collecting and partridge-shooting. He also frequented the gaming salons of the "Palais Royal" and was so successful that in a year or two he acquired the equivalent of 25,000 English pounds. But due his continued gambling, he lost his fortune. At the time of his death, Colton was living on funds received from his immediate family. An illness required surgery, but Colton dreaded the operation. He eventually killed himself rather than undergo the procedure. The additions to Lacon bound here (some from another book) make this copy unique, and from a quick net check, this copy is in much better condition to most copies of Lacon for sale.

Add to basketLeather. Condition: Fair. This is the first book of a projected three. The other two books were never published. This poem attacks the reputation of Samuel Johnson. Hardbound volume with remains of leather binding, marble paper covered boards, and marble paper pastedowns. Charles Caleb Colton (1780 - 1832), was an English cleric…, writer and collector, well known for his eccentricities. Colton was educated at Eton and King's College, graduating with a B.A. in 1801 and an M.A. in 1804. In 1801 he was presented by the college with the perpetual curacy of Tiverton's Prior's Quarter in Devon, where he lived for many years. He was appointed to the vicarage of Kew and Petersham in 1812. His performance of church-related functions at both locations was erratic: at times conscientious and brilliant while at other times cursory and indulgent. He left formal church service, and England, in 1828. Contemporaries believed that he had fled from his creditors, who took out a legal "docket" against him, identifying him as a wine-merchant. For two years Colton traveled throughout the United States. He later established a modest residence in Paris. There he invested in an art gallery and had a large private collection of valuable paintings. Other pastimes included wine collecting and partridge-shooting. He also frequented the gaming salons of the "Palais Royal" and was so successful that in a year or two he acquired the equivalent of 25,000 English pounds. He continued gambling, however, and lost his French fortune. At the time of his death, Colton was living on funds received from his immediate family. An illness required surgery, but Colton dreaded the operation. He eventually killed himself rather than undergo the procedure. His books, including collections of epigrammatic aphorisms and short essays on conduct, though now almost forgotten, had a phenomenal popularity in their day. Toward the end of 1820, Colton published Lacon, or Many Things in Few Words, addressed to those who think., in a small cheap edition. It attracted attention and praise, however, and five additional printings were issued in 1821. Lacon, Vol. II appeared in 1822. In 1822 Colton re-published a previous work on Napoleon, with extensive additions, under the title of The Conflagration of Moscow. In Paris he printed An Ode on the Death of Lord Byron for private circulation and continued to write. At his death he left an unpublished poem of 600 lines called Modern Antiquity. In a half calf binding with marbled boards. There is some wear to the extremities including complete loss of leather to the spine, heavy rubbing to the boards, with loss to the paper and leather, and bumping to the corners. The binding is fairly tight and firm although both covers are holding by the cords only and these could become detached in the post. Internally the pages are generally slightly spotted with the occasional handling mark and waterstaining to the edges of a few pages. There is an ink inscription to the front blank endpaper. Fair. None (illustrator). book.

Contact seller5-star sellerNew York: Charles Wells, 1836. "Complete in One Volume. Revised Edition." Small octavo. xvi, [1], 18493, [1] pp. All edges gilt. Bound in publisher's decorative morocco, sturdy but scuffed and rubbed. Text with foxing and dampstaining throughout. A sound, solid copy. This 1836 New York edition of a popular gift book reached Bard…stown, Kentucky two years after publication. As seen on the front free endpaper, "J. B. McCown Bardstown Kentucky November 1st 1838" owned this copy. Born in Bardstown, later of Greenville, Kentucky, Joseph Bell McCown (17911869), was a Scottish pioneer and War of 1812 veteran. Advertised as the "First American Stereotype Edition," this edition of Lacon is in a publisher's deluxe binding executed by Charles Wells, the book's publisher and a practicing bookbinder. Gothic Windows to Peacocks #76 records the title in a different binding, English and signed "Barritt & Co." Based in New York, Wells likely imported the plates from London, bound some of the volumes himself, and printed his own title page for these copies. In full crimson morocco, both covers are paneled in gilt with a decorative roll-tooled border and an elaborate central arabesque composed of acanthus and anthemion motifs framing an empty oval reserve. The spine is divided into gilt-ruled compartments, three with a central gilt floral or foliate tool, one compartment lettered "Lacon" in gilt, and additional zigzag rolls along the bands. All edges are gilt, with gilt roll-tooling to the turn-ins. The binding reflects the fashionable 1830s "gift book" aesthetic, here applied to a collection of moralizing and pious maxims rather than the usual annuals or poetry. Shaw and Shoemaker 36834.
