Description
Los Angeles: W & V Dailey, Antiquarian Booksellers, 2000. First Printings. Loose sheets, bifolium, now protected in clear sleeves mounted in two leather binders. Near Fine. Complete set from Vol. I, Issue 1 (1994) through Vol. IV, Issue 4 (2000). The letterpress prospectus, printed in two colors and measuring 8.25 x 13.25 inches, is included. Issues are 4to. Pagination varies per issue, the shortest being the first issue in six pages; the longest is the final issue in 16 pages. (Most run eight or 10 pages.) Illustrated with monochrome cuts and tipped-in images offset-printed in full color. Notes at the end of each issue provide bibliographic detail. Letterpress printed by Patrick Reagh on Heavyweight Rives paper, fore-edges untrimmed. Two issues with slight nudges to lower fore-edge corners, otherwise a uniformly Fine set. Jay showcased his accomplished research into the history of legerdemain in this eponymous journal. Presented in a refined format worthy of his authority, Jay employs a lively, clever prose style that resurrects a showmanship all but forgotten: "Fact and Crucifixion" examines Tommy Minnock, who would sing on stage while nailed to a cross; "The Smallest Show on Earth: or, Parasites for Sore Eyes" delves deep into the history of flea circuses. The rich illustrations were culled from Jay's renowned private collection of rare books, pamphlets, posters, handbills, broadsides, prints, and ephemera.This set belonged to William Dailey who, with then-wife Victoria, published the journal under "W & V Dailey, Antiquarian Booksellers." Dailey and Jay's relationship began as bookseller-customer but evolved into a friendship enlivened by mutual respect for the arcane, the bizarre, the preposterous. Jay's Journal of Anomalies emerged organically, as if a natural manifestation of their shared interests. While complete sets are uncommon, the provenance of this set is unique. .

Description
Olney, Bucks: Thomas Wright, 1929. 2 volumes, quarto. (10 7/8 x 8 1/2 inches). 135 plates and illustrations, including color frontispieces. Publisher's green cloth Provenance: John Slocum (inscribed to him by Albert Kornfeld on the front endpaper) Lovely set of the first edition of this work by the founder of the Blake Society. Born in Olney, Buckinghamshire, England, Thomas Wright was educated at Buxton College and founded Cowper School in Olney in 1882 at the age of 23. He was quite an eccentric scholar, as he had no further education past his boarding school years but spent considerable time studying at the library of the British Museum, reading the works of Emerson, Carlyle, and Washington Irving. Throughout his life, he self-published a number of works, though he is best known for his biographies which include "The Life of William Cowper" (1892), "The Life of Daniel Defoe" (1894), "The Life of John Payne" (1919), and this work, "The Life of William Blake" (1929). Wright founded the William Cowper Society in 1899, the John Payne Society in 1905, and the Blake Society in 1912.
