Douce, Francis. ILLUSTRATIONS OF SHAKSPEARE, AND OF ANCIENT MANNERS: With Dissertations on the Clowns and Fools of Shakspeare; on the Collection of Popular Tales Entitled Gesta Romanorum; and on the English Morris Dance. Engravings on Wood by J. Berryman. In Two Volumes.

All edges marbled. Bookplate of Rodman Wanamaker on detached boards. 8vo. Bindings very worn and boards detached. Should be considered disbound. Rodman Wanamaker (1863-1928) was the son of the great merchant prince, John Wanamaker, and while the senior Wanamaker focused his prodigious energies on making sure that his ever-expanding business empire ran like a well-oiled machine, the younger Wanamaker was committed to bringing art and beauty into the stores. His influence extended not just to finest merchandise, including pioneering imports of French fashions, but also in the richness of Store architecture, decor and music (especially the great organ in the flagship store). In 1908 he sent photographic expeditions West to photograph Indian tribes. A special railroad car called Signet was fitted for this expedition. This project was fictionalized in the novel "Shadow Catcher" by Charles Fergus, 1991. He loved track and field sports and inaugurated the Wanamaker Mile. He rertedly began the tradition of playing The Star Spangled Banner at sporting events He purchased more World War I bonds than anyone else in the United States, and generously allowed the use of his residences for the war effort, "virtually putting his enormous wealth at the disposal of the United States."

Allen, Charles. NOTES ON THE BACON-SHAKESPEARE QUESTION.
Houghton, Mifflin and Company, Boston and New York: 1900. 1900, 1st Edition Hardcover pp. xiv, 306.Riverside press device on title page. Inner front hinge cracked. Top edge gold. 8vo. Original full cloth binding, gold lettered spine. Hardbound. First Edition. Nice copy. Allen skillfully questions the then popular attribution of "Shakespeare" to Francis Bacon. The Bacon-Shakespeare authorship controversy, consists of the view that Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) wrote the plays commonly attributed to Shakespeare. It actively flourished with scholars and amateurs weighing in on one side or another from around 1880 to 1930. The battle was fought not only in Great Britain but also in America (where the idea originated) and in Germany. Prominent later claimants include Christopher Marlowe; Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford; and William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby.) The Francis Bacon Society continues to promulgate the Baconian theory today. We agree with Twain, who supposedly said during the height of the controversy: "Shakespeare was written by Shakespeare - or somebody with his name." SHAKESPEARE BOX 2

Nice copy of this classic in the Shakespeare/Bacon controversy. The Bacon-Shakespeare authorship controversy, consists of the view that Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) wrote the plays commonly attributed to Shakespeare. It actively flourished with scholars and amateurs weighing in on one side or another from around 1880 to 1930. The battle was fought not only in Great Britain but also in America (where the idea originated) and in Germany. Prominent later claimants include Christopher Marlowe; Edward de Vere, 17th Earl of Oxford; and William Stanley, 6th Earl of Derby.) The Francis Bacon Society continues to promulgate the Baconian theory today. We agree with Twain, who supposedly said during the height of the controversy: "Shakespeare was written by Shakespeare - or somebody with his name." SHAKESPEARE BOX 2

An imaginary account of the trial of the future dramatist before Sir Thomas Lucy on a charge of deer-stealing. Various verses are found in Shakespeare's pocket and are read aloud by the magistrate's clerk. None are especially exciting, and Sir Thomas falls asleep. Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864), English poet and essayist, was educated at Oxford. After a quarrel with his father, Landor went to live in Wales, where he wrote the epic poem Gebir (1798). The middle and most productive years of his life were spent in Italy. There he wrote the greater portion of his voluminous prose work Imaginary Conversations (1824-1853), consisting of nearly 150 dialogues between notables both ancient and modern. Landor's verse ranges from the epic to the epigrammatic, including many lyrics of great simplicity and intensity. SHAKESPEARE BOX 1

Contemporary full leather French binding; worn at joints. Marbled endpapers. All edges gilt. Hardbound. A very good copy of a scarce little work. After studying with the Jesuits and teaching in their colleges at Clermont and Toulouse, Marmontel (1723-1799), acting on the advice of Voltaire, set out for Paris (at the age of twenty-two) to seek literary fame. He wrote a series of minor plays which brought him somewhat permanent admission to Parisian literary and social circles. It was during this time that he wrote articles for the 'Encyclopedie' on the 'Elements of Literature' which still rank among the French classics. In 1758 he gained the patronage of Madame de Pompadour. She obtained for him a place as a civil servant, and the management of the journal, 'Le Mercure' where his charming 'Contes Moraux' were first printed. Fist published in 1767, 'Belisare' was a historical romance loosely based on the career of Belisarius (505-565) a Byzantine general under the Emperor Justinian I. He was constantly called upon to defend a fading empire (and the very gates of Rome) against the Persians, Vandals, Goths, Ostrogoths, and Huns. It included a chapter on religious toleration which incurred the censure of the Sorbonne and the Archbishop of Paris. Because of this reaction to his work Marmontel became even more firmly set against the excesses of religious and political fanaticism. Quite scarce. FRENCH 4

John Philips (1676-1709), English poet, was one of the few to write in blank verse in an age when the heroic couplet was the standard form. His 'Splendid Shilling' (1701, 1705) is a parody of Milton. 'Cyder' (1708), a utilitarian poem describing the cultivation of apples and the pressing of cider, is modeled after Virgil's 'Georgics'. This is a fine early collection of of Philips' major poems, works that, "written in revolt against the heroic couplet, between the death of Dryden and the appearance of Pope, occupy an important position in the history of English literature." The various editions of Philips's poetry are all nonce collections (with separate title pages, and often variant imprint details and dates. Foxon, p. 570 (incorporating p242 and p249); CBEL II 563.

Extremities worn with slight loss. Hardbound set. "During the American Civil War, Confederate commerce raiders (the most famous being the CSS Alabama) were built in Britain and did significant damage to Union merchant marine and naval forces. The United States claimed direct and collateral damage against Britain, the so-called Alabama Claims, and was awarded $15,500,000 by an international tribunal in 1871 as part of the Treaty of Washington. United States Senator Charles Sumner originally requested $2 billion, or alternatively the seceding of Canada to the United States. The tribunal was composed of representatives from the United Kingdom (Sir Alexander Cockburn), the United States (Charles Francis Adams), Italy (Count Sclopsis), Switzerland (Jakob Stampfli), and Brazil (Baron d'Itajuba). This established the principle of international arbitration, and launched a movement to codify international law with hopes for finding peaceful solutions to international disputes. The Alabama Claims was thus a precursor to the Hague Convention, the League of Nations, the World Court, and the United Nations." - Wikipedia. Scarce set. SHELF W22
