Description
Dublin: P. Brereton printer 1 Lr. Exchange St, 1867. Very Good. A collection of 12 broadside song sheets of Irish ballads and drinking songs, printed in Dublin by Peter Brereton circa late 1860s. Each song is printed in one column on a thin sheet of wove paper, with a woodcut illustration at the head of the sheet. Four sheets are neatly mounted and one is professionally backed onto modern paper; the other seven are unmounted as issued, very good or better overall. Most of the broadsides have the imprint of P. Brereton; those that do not have uniquely identifiable typography and woodcuts that identify Brereton as printer. Celebrated today as “The Worst Printer Ever,” Brereton’s broadsides are rightly described as “an archive of printer’s errors and worst practices, and the ballads are often sonorous nightmares. But they are good fun … inverted letters, multiple type-faces, broken sorts, uneven leading, etc. Clearly, neither the printer nor reader cared much for these minor details.” (Andrew Kuhn. *The Brereton Collection: John J. Burns Library Blog*). This special collection features Brereton at his delightful ‘best’ and contains several scarce contemporary ballads from the mid-19th Century, including *Lines on the Expected Testimonial of his Grace the late much Lammented Most Rev’d Doctor O’Connor, Bishop of Saldis* written by the blind Dublin street poet and ballad seller, Joseph Sadler. Also included are two variant copies of *Hagertys Ball*: one illustrated with a woodcut of a rural landscape, and the much scarcer variant printing with a woodcut illustration of a small group of young lads drinking. A well-preserved cache of scarce Irish street ballads. A detailed list of all 12 broadsides is available.

New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1973. Poetry In Original Manuscript [CROFT, Peter John, editor]. Autograph Poetry in the English Language. Facsimiles of Original Manuscripts from the Fourteenth to the Twentieth Century. Compiled and Edited with an Introduction, Commentary and Transcripts by P. J. Croft. New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, [1973]. First American edition. Limited to 1,500 sets. Two folio volumes. Original green cloth and paper over boards. A mint set. In the original dust jackets and slipcase. A monumental documentary survey of English-language poetry as it was first conceived on the page. The work reproduces 197 autograph manuscripts, ranging from medieval verse to modern poetry, each presented in high-quality facsimile and accompanied by authoritative biographical commentary and diplomatic transcription. The manuscripts reveal the poets' working methods - erasures, revisions, marginalia, and variants-offering direct insight into the creative process unavailable in printed texts alone. Long regarded as a standard reference for scholars, collectors, and curators, Autograph Poetry in the English Language remains one of the most ambitious and successful attempts to chart the evolution of poetic expression through original handwritten sources, and an essential cornerstone in the study of literary manuscripts and autograph material.

1811. ALDEN, TIMOTHY. Alden's New-Jersey Register and United States' Calendar, for ... 1811. Newark: William Tuttle, [1811]. 160, [4] p. Sheep-backed boards. Ex-library, with title heavily stamped, first few leaves pasted over with early newspaper clippings, binding broken. Complete, but not beautiful. First issue of the first New Jersey register. Contains a highly useful list of New Jersey civil and military officers, courts, post offices, churches and ministers, colleges and schools, libraries, and other societies. Alden's register folded after only one more issue, and several later attempts similarly failed after one or two issues. It was not until the manual of the legislature started in 1872 that an annual New Jersey register succeeded. For additional information on Alden and his register, see Felcone, New Jersey Books 1694-1900, 17.
