Laminated illustrated wrappers, folio, xii, 249 pp, 129 plates. 129 entries. From the blurb: "This major survey uniquely illustrates a large segment of Britain's literary history through the autographs of many of its great writers: from Bede to William Blake, a thousand years of British literary manuscripts in The Pierpont Morgan Library. Reproduced from originals in the Morgan Library's extraordinary collection of autographs are 129 selections from 111 poets, novelists, historians. scholars, clergymen, courtiers - representative samples of rare manuscripts chronicling the development of English literature from Aelfric, Gower and Chaucer to Pope, Sterne and Robert Burns. Prominent in this comprehensive presentation is a page from Book I of Paradise Lost, the manuscript dictated by Milton and used as printer's copy - one of the first autographs to be preserved by contemporaries as valuable in itself, and today one of the most celebrated English literary remains. Equally interesting are the best text of Chaucer's Troïlus, Sidney's sole substantial prose autograph (Defence of the Earl of Leicester), three letters by Dryden. a page of notes by schoolboy Isaac Newton and Burns's Auld Lang Syne. Other remarkable works include letters, poems, signatures and whole manuscripts by John Wyclif, Sir Thomas More, Robert Herrick. Andrew Marvel, John Locke. Jonathan Swift, Henry Fielding, Edward Gibbon, William Blake - a millennium of personal expression by most of the central figures in English literature. This collection is intended for readers of English literature; the commentary covers history and provenance rather than palaeography or textual study. Students and scholars will nonetheless find useful documentation and much valuable information." Minor edgewear otherwise Good.…

Printed wrappers, folio, 31 cm, xiv, 192, [1] pp, 125 plates. Catalogue of an exhibition held at the Pierpont Morgan Library, Sept. 11-Dec. 2, 1973 With an essay by Joseph Blumenthal. From the blurb: "This handsome, fully illustrated, meticulously produced volume fìlls a long-standing gap in the history of books concerned with distinguished typography and bookmaking. Neither a printing manual nor a technical treatise, it was written by an accomplished designer and printer and presents concisely and consecutively the history and romance of the greatly printed books. It includes descriptions of the lives of the great printers, Gutenberg, de Tournes, Baskerville, Aldus, etc., and presents the historical backgrounds under which their noble folios were made. Laymen and amateurs of the book will read it with pleasure; professionals invoived in bookmaking, including designers, printers, publishers, librarians, and booksellers, will find it a useful and authoritative addition to the literature. Art of the Printed Book was written by Joseph Blumenthal, a practitioner whose Spiral Press set a long-acknowledged standard in the small company of fine printers in the United States and Europe. It is, in one sense, a personal selection, dependent on Mr. BIumenthal's exacting aesthetic standards and, in another, a testament to the discrimination and collections of that preeminent repository of typography, the Morgan Library. The 112 books selected and reproduced, from the Gutenberg Bible to the twentieth-century works of Rogers, Gill, Updike, Meynell, and Mardersteig, are among the finest copies known and, as would be expected from the Morgan Library and Mr. Blumenthal, no effort bas been spared in the production, design, or illustration of this impressive volume. It presents the book as an object of beauty and printers as men of sensitivity, taste, and ." Name on front free endpaper, wrappers a trifle marked, otherwise near Very Good.…
