Title: The Rockite, an Irish story. By Charlotte Elizabeth
Author: [ Tonna, Charlotte Elizabeth, née Browne, formerly Mrs. Phelan.]
Seller: Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB (United States)
Description: London: James Nesbit, 1829 First edition. Contemporary half calf, gilt-ruled spine. . Twelvemo. Spine and joints rubbed, lacks label. Some foxing, especially at the beginning and end. But a good copy overall. Charlotte Tonna (1796-1846) was a writer and social reformer and friend of Hannah More. She married an army officer, George Phelan, and accompanied him to his estate in Ireland. She then began publishing religious tracts for the Dublin Tract Society, using the name Charlotte Elizabeth. She also became strongly interested in rights for Irish factory workers and farmers. Her first marriage was unhappy, and she endured physical abuse from her husband. They separated around 1824, at about the time she began to write novels, as well as works for children. The present novel is about the Tithe War of 1821; Captain Rock was a famous leader of the Whiteboys, the secret Irish agrarian organization, during the anti-tithe struggles. The novels she is best known for—Helen Fleetwood and The Wrongs of Woman—came after her second marriage, to Lewis Hippolytus Joseph Tonna, a religious writer twenty years her junior, who encouraged her literary work. Helen Fleetwood (serialized 1839-40) has been credited with influencing the passage of the 1844 Factory Bill, limiting the working day of factory women to twelve hours. Tonna's contributions to social reform literature and her use of the Christian Lady's Magazine as a forum to influence politics through her female readers mark her as a significant nineteenth-century figure, especially for other women social reform writers, such as Harriet Beecher Stowe (who wrote the introduction for her collected works in 1844) and Elizabeth Gaskell" (Oxford DNB).

Author: BELLINI, Vincenzo 1801-1835
Seller: J & J Lubrano Music Antiquarians LLC (United States)
Description: Napoli: Teodoro Cottrau [PN 1646-4435], 1865. Oblong folio. Full modern dark red textured paper, titling gilt to spine. 1f. (title), 3-140 pp. Engraved. Numbers in the original keys. Contemporary annotation in black ink dated August 11, 1874 to upper margin of title. Slightly worn, soiled, and foxed; annotation trimmed. Rare. Worldcat (1 copy only, at Tulane). I Capuleti e i Montecchi, to a libretto by Felice Romani, was first performed at the Teatro La Fenice in Venice on March 11, 1830. "... the subject of star-crossed lovers enabled Bellini to play from strength as a purveyor of tender, elegiac melody. Here, as in Zaira, he infused the simple, syllabic vocal writing of La straniera with melismatic bravura, preparing the way for that perfect synthesis of expression and virtuosity he attained in La sonnambula. As the last important opera with a breeches-part hero, I Capuleti survived throughout the century as a favourite war-horse for star sopranos such as Wilhelmine Schröder-Devrient and Johanna Wagner, despite the hostility of progressives such as Liszt, who dismissed it as intolerably old-fashioned, and the ambivalence of Wagner, who loved its melodies while deploring its dramatic conception." Simon Maguire, Elizabeth Forbes, and Julian Budden in Grove Music Online. Bound with: An additional finale by Nicola Vaccai (1790-1848). Scena aria e duetto finale Ah! se tu dormi svegliati Nell'atto 4o. dell' opera Romeo e Giulietta N.B. Questa scena si esegue in Napoli dalla Sig.a. Malibran. F. 4 Gr. 60. [Piano-vocal score]. Napoli: B. Girard e Ci. [PN 2421], [ca. 1843?]. Oblong folio. 14 pp. Engraved. Contemporary signature in black ink to upper margin of p. 1. Moderate foxing, soiling, dampstaining, and wear; pp. 1-2 with repair along inner margin with slight loss to upper outer corner; trimmed at upper margin; occasional annotations. Rare. Worldcat (1 copy only, at the Library of Congress). Vaccai's Giulietta e Romeo, to a libretto by Felice Romani, was first performed at the Teatro alla Cannobiana in Milan on October 31, 1825. Binding slightly worn and bumped.
