Title: POEMS
Author: BROOKE, RUPERT
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: London: Sidgwick & Jackson, Ltd, 1911. FIRST EDITION. ONE OF 500 COPIES. 190 x 125 mm. (7 3/4 x 4 7/8"). viii, 87, [1] pp. Publisher's black cloth, paper label on spine. In a maroon morocco-backed pull-off case. Front pastedown with small ex-libris of C. S. Currie, Ettrick, Derrinallum (see below). Spine very slightly cocked, isolated trivial thumbing, but A FINE COPY, clean, fresh, and bright internally, in an unworn binding. This is the first collection of poetry from Rupert Brooke (1887-1915), who perhaps best personified the doomed youth of the Great War. The son of a schoolmaster at Rugby, Brooke was educated there and at Cambridge, writing poetry from his early years. According to DNB, "during his years at Cambridge, influenced by the Jacobean poets and dramatists that he studied, Brooke refined the style of his poetry. The lush extravagance learned from the decadents gave way to a harder-edged diction, metaphor which sometimes tested the boundaries of Edwardian good taste, and a penchant for syllogism. He showed a particular felicity in his use of the sonnet and rhymed octosyllabics. The subject matter of the poems is dominated by conflicts in which youth and innocence are preferred to age and experience, mind is valued above the distrusted body, and the 'eternal' is often aspired to at the expense of the transitory." This copy comes from the distinguished collection of Charles Sibbald Currie (1866-1924). He was born in Geelong, Victoria, Australia, and won a scholarship to Oxford, matriculating there in 1885 before going on to become a member of the Inner Temple in London. Upon his return to Australia, he became one of the country's most notable bibliophiles, building an extensive library of first editions of all genres..

Title: [VOYAGE AROUND THE CAPE OF GOOD HORN]. Boston to San Francisco in Winter of 1862-1863
Author: Drown, A.N.
Seller: Michael Laird Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: Very good
Description: S.l.: Privately Printed, 1919. Very good. 8vo. 76 pp. + one folding map at end (final page of text browned). Original stiff wrappers (fore-edges untrimmed as issued) a trifle dust-soiled, but a tight copy, signed "Compliments of W[illard] N. Drown," the author's son (and ghost editor of the book), and Francis L. Cooper. A SCARCE AND REMARKABLE ACCOUNT OF A 122-DAY VOYAGE AROUND THE CAPE OF GOOD HORN, UNDERTAKEN DURING THE CIVIL WAR. THE BOOK WAS PRIVATELY PRINTED FOR FRIENDS AND MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY OF THE AUTHOR'S SON, A SIGNER OF OUR COPY. Albert Newell Drown undertook this trip to recuperate from an attack of typhoid fever. The present volume contains a letter to the author''s parents as well as a transcription of the diary he kept on his voyage around the Horn on the Starlight, as well as a facsimile of the map drawn by Drown himself which charts the voyage. Although the American Civil War was raging onshore, Drown and his companions and crew were unable to receive any word of it. Indeed, he writes: "We are just as much isolated from the world as if we had been transferred to the moon or some other planet or had been shut up in some dungeon cell and kept from all intercourse with our kind. We have no society but ourselves. No tidings reach us of what is going on among men, no newspapers, no post office, no churches, no women, no use of money, no buying and selling, no green thing to be seen, no animals save the monsters of the deep, no alarms of fire, no dread of burglars, no factory bells, no shops, no barking of dogs, no pow-wowing of cats, scarcely any, indeed, of the ordinary sights and sounds of life ashore." Insulated, but not isolated, Drown provides an engaging account of seafaring life, detailing the joys and perils of his journey. The narrative explores the era of clipper ships, offering insights into the maritime history and trade routes of the time. The author provides extremely vivid descriptions of his daily experiences, interactions with fellow passengers and crew, and detailed observations of the ocean and its wildlife, volatile weather, conditions on board the Starlight, and much more. Herein is presented the grandeur and adventure of an epic American maritime voyage during a significant chapter in American maritime history. Scarce in private ownership: Rare Book Hub (which currently lists more than 15 million records in the Rare Book Transaction Database) records only three copies at auction, the most "recent" auction occurring 46 years ago: 1.
