Title: ALBUM VERSES: WITH A FEW OTHERS
Author: (BINDINGS - DE SAMBLANX-WECKESSER). LAMB, CHARLES
Seller: Phillip J. Pirages Fine Books and Medieval Manuscripts (United States)
Description: London: Edward Moxon, 1830. FIRST EDITION. 188 x 118 mm. (7 3/8 x 4 5/8"). vii, [1], 150 pp., [1] leaf (ads). SUPERB NAVY BLUE CRUSHED MOROCCO, GILT AND INLAID, BY DE SAMBLANX-WECKESSER (stamp-signed on front turn-in), covers with intricate gilt frame of trumpet vines bearing 36 inlaid scarlet flowers and buds, raised bands, spine gilt in compartments with inlaid trumpet flower at center, gilt titling, turn-ins framed with gilt vine, navy blue moiré silk endleaves, marbled flyleaves, all edges gilt. In a (slightly worn) marbled paper slipcase. Title page with engraving of a putto composing verses. Front flyleaves with bookplates of Edwin Holden (dated 1894) and John Whipple Frothingham. Wise, Ashley Cat. III, 52; Thomson, p. 76. A hint of rubbing to front joint, occasional mild browning (due to paper quality), but A FINE COPY, clean and fresh internally, and in a lustrous binding. In a lovely Art Nouveau binding by a Belle Époque master, this is a collection of poems assembled by essayist Charles Lamb (1775-1834) to launch the publishing career of his friend and future son-in-law, Edward Moxon (1801-58), to whom he dedicated the work. Composed of rather slight verses composed for the amusement of Lamb's friends and of more substantial works previously printed in periodicals, this first book bearing Moxon's imprint did well enough to attract the business of other prestigious poets, many of them friends of Lamb. Moxon, who married Lamb's adopted daughter Emma Isola in 1833, went on to print the works of Wordsworth, Shelley, Tennyson, and other luminaries of the Victorian era. The graceful binding is by Belgian master craftsman Charles de Samblancx [or Samblanx] (1855-1943), who began his binding career at age 11, as an apprentice to Coppens. He eventually established his own firm (though from 1889-1909 his gilder Jacques Weckesser was in partnership with him). His binding career extended over several decades, and he worked in a variety of period styles, sensitively reproducing the bindings of previous centuries. His work, often involving great complexity of design, is invariably executed with the highest degree of skill. Our copy was once owned by American bibliophile and Grolier Club president Edwin Holden (1861-1906)..

ABOUT THIS BOOK: This important study investigates how Austen worked with, and played upon, the cracks and faultlines which time had uncovered in the ideals of polite conversation. In a wide-ranging argument combining intellectual history and literary stylistics, Bharat Tandon explores such activities as flirtation and ventriloquism, in order to show how a form of conversational morality is what Austen's novels both describe and set out to achieve.(Publisher).

ABOUT THIS BOOK: 'It is characteristic of some forms of scientific genius to alter not just what we see in the world, but how we see it - not just the view, but the lens. One thinks of Freud's discovery of the transference, or of Melanie Klein's attention to the play of children. Wilfred Bion's study of groups and group processes also has this quality. More than the content of what he saw and captured in the concepts of two modes of mental functioning in groups and in the differentiation of the basic assumptions, it was the way he saw or, more broadly, the way he sensed the emotional life of the individual in the group, and in the first instance his own, that opened up a quite new territory for exploration. Those of us whose practice takes place primarily in the institutional or social domain can find in his more psychoanalytic work seeds of new thought extending beyond the consulting room.Going "beyond the confines" might perhaps more generally stand as a metaphor for Bion's enterprise.(Publisher).
