Description
London: Macmillan, 1902. Later printings. Fine. A beautiful set with the rather uncommon Second Series which was first published in 1897. Two small octavo volumes (6 x 3 7/8 inches; 152 x 98 mm.). [xii], 381, [1, imprint]; xii, 275, [1. blank] pp. title-page to first series with engraved vignette, title-page to second series with tinted engraved vignette. Small neat tape repair to front blank leaf in volume one. Finely bound by Zaehnsdorf ca. 1902 (stamp-signed in gilt on front turn-ins). Full brown levant morocco, covers bordered in gilt and blind with gilt floral corner-pieces, enclosing a panel of eleven gilt flowers and stems with gilt pointillé and decorative blind stamping. Spines with five raised bands, decoratively tooled an gilt and blind and lettered in gilt in compartments, double gilt-ruled board edges, gilt ruled and decorated turn-ins, marbled end-papers, all edges gilt. The Golden Treasury of the Best Songs and Lyrical Poems in the English Language was a monumental project, not just aimed at capturing the history of English poetry, but at its core explored what we mean by the poetic form (Kirsh). The book's immediate impact on British Victorians was significant, and it remains incredibly influential today (Kirsh). "Palgrave poetry is sincere, direct, and beautiful; it approximates song rather than speech; it deals with the most sweeping subjects-in particular, love, death, and nature-rather than the merely personal and local. Palgrave poetry is almost never urban, ironic, obscure, or verbally ambiguous" (Kirsh). The Austro-Hungarian -born, Joseph Zaehnsdorf (1816-1886) trained with binders in Stuttgart and in Vienna, before moving to Germany, Switzerland, France, and eventually settling London. He working for various shops before opening his own bindery in 1842. In the face of industrializing production Zaehnsdorf embraced craft and eventually gained recognition for his talent. He was known for his precise finish and elegant design. The firm would continue in his son John William's capable hands; it employed binders like Louis Genth, Roger de Coverly, and Sarah Prideaux. Family run until 1947, it was eventually acquired by Asprey of London in 1983 (Gertz). Fine.

Description
Amsterdam: Van Zoetendaal, 2010. First edition. Hard cover. As New. 30 cm; about [135] pages, chiefly color photo illustrations with captions in Dutch and English. Introductory remarks (by André Loor) in Dutch and English. Bound in cushioned faux leather, stamped in silver. From the introduction: The police band in Suriname cannot pride itself on being the oldest band in Suriname, nor even that it is very old, but it can take pride in having become an integral part of the social and cultural life in Surinamese society. The band has always been of great significance to the musical life in Suriname not only because of the weekly concerts they gave in The Park and on the former Government Square but also because of their repertoire. Photographer and artist Sara Blokland has followed the band and pictured in an untraditional way the history of the band and the people encountered by them.

Mild rubbing to head and tail of spine. Faint dust-spotting to text block. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The German mystic Jacob Boehme disccourses at length a fundamental law of Magic: the law of signatures, which is the concept that every object in the three dimensional world has a hidden meaning, and moreover, how those signatures interact with each other.Mystical Christianity is at the root of Boehme's philosophy, but his beliefs differed from the prevalent Lutheran establishment of his time, causing him persecution the entirety of his life. Boehme's universe is one where a creative and destructive principle are continually in conflict, a perspective later cited by Nietzsche, Newton and Phillip K Dick as influential to their works.This is a modernized and revised edition for readers of the present generation. Archaic word forms and stilted language have been updated to flow with the language and syntax of our time. This volume also includes two additional writings by Jacob Boehme: Of the Supersensual Life: Two Dialogues between a Scholar or Disciple and his Master, and The Way From Darkness to True Illumination: A Discourse between a Soul Hungry and Thirsty and a Soul Enlightened.(Publisher).
