Description
1791. BIBLE. The Holy Bible, Containing the Old and New Testaments: Translated out of the Original Tongues: and with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised. Trenton: Isaac Collins, 1791. 4to. [1316] p. Contemporary blind-paneled sheep by Craig and Lea, with their decorative printed binder's label on the front pastedown. Binding worn at the extremities, as usual, front hinge cracking but held strongly by the cords. Internally, the first several leaves have some erosion at the extreme edges (about 1/4 in.), and there is the usual scattered foxing inherent in early American paper, but this is a very good, tight copy. The first Bible printed in New Jersey, the second quarto King James Bible printed in America, and the best known product of the eighteenth-century New Jersey press. For a lengthy and highly detailed account of the printing, binding, promotion, publication, and distribution of the Collins Bible, see Felcone, Printing in New Jersey, 1754-1800, 578. Ticketed (i.e., labelled) eighteenth-century American bindings are seldom seen on the market today. This copy contains the Apocrypha and, like all copies, John Downame's concordance at the end.

Description
1791. London, 1791. London, 1791. A Cautionary Tale for "Young Gentlemen" [Trial]. Cork, Edmund Boyle, Earl of [1767-1856], Defendant. The Trial of Lord Dungarvan, At the Old Bailey, On Monday the 17th of January 1790, Before Mr. Baron Thompson. Taken Accurately in Short Hand by a Gentleman of the Middle Temple. Counsel for the Prosecution, Mr. Knowles and Mr. Const. For his Lordship, Mr. Shepherd, Mr. Garrow, and Mr. Cullen. London: Printed for Mr. Lewis, 1791. [6], ii, [3]-38, [2] pp. Includes two-page publisher catalogue. Copperplate portrait frontispiece. Quarto (10" x 8"). Recent three-quarter morocco over cloth, gilt rules to boards, gilt title to spine, untrimmed edges. Moderate rubbing to extremities, some toning to text, light soiling to half-title, which has an owner signature (of William Owen, Trinity College) dated 1794, repairs to corners and fore-edge of frontispiece. Ex-library. Stamps to boards and free endpapers, bookplate to front pastedown. A solid copy of a rare title. $1,250. * Only edition. The frontispiece depicts Elizabeth Weldon, the prostitute who initiated the suit. In an attempt to extort money, she threatened Boyle, also known as Viscount Dungarvan due to his Irish properties, with a bogus lawsuit. She said she would claim he took money from her clothing after he purchased her services. However, Cork called her bluff and eventually prevailed in court. Clearly a salacious case, it is presented here as a cautionary tale for "young gentlemen, whose levity may bring them into a familiar situation..." The reporter warns that it "may not always be in the power, even of a man of fashion, to refute the plausible tale of an artful woman, (although a prostitute.) It may not always happen that an innocent defendant shall have the same circumstances to protect his honour, as my Lord Dungarvan" (ii). OCLC locates 2 copies, both in law libraries (Columbia, Harvard). English Short-Title Catalogue N013878.

Covers slightly and evenly foxed, spine faded, a good copy
Description
New York: Thomas Seltzer, 1926. From the Bart Auerbach Collection. Covers slightly and evenly foxed, spine faded, a good copy. 8vo. Original black cloth. First edition of the author's third book and first prose work (a novel). The dedication copy, inscribed by this twelve-year-old author: "For Jean Starr Untermeyer, most sweet friend and gracious lady, to whom I have dedicated The Sunken Garden. With love, Nathalia Crane. Brooklyn, N. Y., May 7, 1926." Opposite the inscription, on the inside front cover, Crane (one assumes) has affixed a charming portrait of herself by Bachrach. Jean Starr Untermeyer was a well-known poet in her own right; by 1926 she was divorced from Louis Untermeyer. Crane (1913-1998) "was a poet and novelist who became famous as a child prodigy after the publication of her first book of poetry, 'The Janitor's Boy', written at age ten and published two years later... Crane was dubbed 'Then Brooklyn Bard' by the time she was thirteen and became part of the Louis Untermeyer poetry circle in her late teens... [she] later became a professor of English at San Diego State University" (Wikipedia entry). (BA).
