Description
1887. (JOHNSON, Samuel) BOSWELL, James. Boswell's Life of Johnson, including… Journal of a Tour to the Hebrides and Johnson's Diary of a Journey into North Wales. Oxford: Clarendon, 1887. Six volumes bound in eleven. Octavo, contemporary full navy morocco gilt, raised bands, top edges gilt, uncut. $11,000.First George Birkbeck Hill edition of Boswell's Life of Johnson and Johnson's travels, extra-illustrated with 1153 finely engraved portraits, views, maps and facsimiles (including many proofs on India paper), and facsimile of handwritten note by Hill tipped in. Handsomely bound in full morocco by Riviere & Son.Hill was a renowned Johnsonian scholar; when the Clarendon Press brought out this six-volume set in 1887, ""the edition was accepted as a masterpiece of spacious editing. The index, forming the sixth volume, is a monument of industry and completeness"" (DNB). ""The fascination of [Boswell and Johnson's] dialogue, that dialogue of mind, heart and voice round which Boswell organized his great Life, is that it is not merely between two very different men but between two epochs. In its pages, Romantic Europe speaks to Renaissance Europe, and is answered"" (Wain, 229). Due to the profusion of added plates, portraits and facsimiles, each of the five text volumes were divided into two volumes, for a total of 11 volumes (the index volume is not extra-illustrated). Interiors and added plates clean and fine. Volume I, Part I and Volume III, Part I expertly rebacked with original spine neatly laid down, a few other joints slightly tender or with minor reinforcements, bindings sound. A very handsome and lavishly extra-illustrated set in excellent condition.

Description
Londres: Macmillan and Co., 1869. Alice" en Français - One of the Great Early Translations of a Literary Classic The 1869 First French Edition, Exceptionally Preserved in Original Cloth CARROLL, Lewis [Lewis Carroll]. Aventures d'Alice au Pays des Merveilles. Traduit de l'Anglais par Henri Bué. Illustré de 42 vignettes par John Tenniel. Londres: Macmillan & Co., 1869. First Edition in French. Octavo (7 3/16 x 4 3/4 inches; 183 x 123 mm.). [10], 196 pp. Engraved frontispiece and forty-one text illustrations. Publisher's blue cloth over boards, covers with triple gilt fillets, upper cover with central oval vignette of Alice, lower cover with the Cheshire Cat, spine ruled and lettered in gilt, dark gray coated endpapers, all edges gilt. Housed in a dark blue cloth clamshell case, spine with black morocco label lettered in gilt. A near fine copy - exceptionally bright and well-preserved, the hinges untouched - quite possibly among the finest examples encountered. This 1869 French Alice - translated by Henri Bué, is the second foreign-language edition of the work (following the German edition earlier the same year), and one of the most admired early translations of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The translator Henri Bué's achievement is remarkable: Carroll's linguistic play - puns, inversions, nonsense logic, and neologism - is notoriously resistant to translation, yet here rendered with grace, wit, and structural fidelity across two fundamentally different languages. The illustrations by John Tenniel are inseparable from the identity of Alice. Tenniel (1820-1914), long associated with Punch magazine, brought to Carroll's text a precision of line and a disciplined imagination that fixed the visual form of Wonderland for generations. His Alice, poised, observant, and distinctly Victorian - anchors the surrounding absurdity, while his unforgettable creations (the Cheshire Cat, the Mad Hatter, the Queen of Hearts) translate Carroll's linguistic invention into enduring iconography. Few partnerships between author and illustrator have proven so definitive. A cornerstone for collectors of Lewis Carroll. Avery, 44; Williams, 16; Williams, Madan, Green & Crutch, 73.
