Title: Ponson, Marie
Seller: De Simone Company, Booksellers (United States)
Description: [Neuville, France], 1880. Oblong 4to. 260 x 350 mm., [10 ¼ x 13 ½ inches]. 56 leaves. Illustrated with 23 hand drawn maps. Title page is decorated with a floral frieze. Bound in red cloth, joint cracked but sound, corners bumped, and cloth soiled in places; with the initials “M P” gilt on the upper board. Included are two sacred documents celebrating Maria Ponson’s first communion and her consecrations into the Order of St. Verge, 1882. Beautifully produced manuscript of hand colored maps with information text written in a highly legible and attractive hand. The text and maps have been prepared within elaborate lithographed borders. The maps are complemented with very good text describing each country, various provinces, rivers, mountains, climate, people, production and minerals. The details in the text vary but capture the essence of the country, or region, and the native people. There are four maps of France as is to be expected, and the text which accompanies the maps is highly detailed and informative. The documents accompanying the manuscript provide some information on Marie Ponson and demonstrate the type of education she received after entering the Order of St. Vierge. Ms. Ponson was baptized in July of 1861, received her first communion in May of 1877, was admitted to the Order in 1878, and in 1882 took her vows of obedience. As part of her education, as so many young convent girls did, she learned the art of calligraphy and demonstrated her knowledge and skill in creating an atlas of France and in her case the countries of the world. Very fine example of convent education in France during the last quarter of the 19th century.

Title: The royal English dictionary: or, a treasury of the English language...to which is prefixed a comprehensive grammar of the English tongue
Author: Fenning, D[aniel
Seller: Rulon-Miller Books (United States)
Description: London: printed for S. Crowder, at the Looking-glass, in Pater-noster Row, 1761. First edition, issue with the date correctly printed; 8vo, pp. viii, 16, [916]; lexicon in double column; contemporary full calf, rubbed and worn, hinges cracked, cords holding; early grammatical marginalia on flyleaves and endpapers; front free endpaper torn, with loss to the marginalia; still, a nice enough copy, unrestored, with the approbation leaf, in which George III (to whom the book is dedicated) grants Fenning a license to print his dictionary for a period of 14 years. Little is known of Fenning. He was a compiler of several school texts, including an arithmetic, a geography, and a speller, the last of which had notable popularity in America before Webster. Webster himself was no doubt well acquainted with Fenning's speller, which in London made a 71st edition in 1823. This dictionary contains terms used in mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, architecture, printing, natural history and navigation, with "each word followed by an initial letter to denote the part of speech"--the first time, I believe, in a dictionary. A competent, trustworthy dictionary on "so extensive a plan as to unite the different excellencies of all other English dictionaries." Alston V, 227; Kennedy 6257; Vancil, p. 89. ESTC does not notice this issue with the corrected date.
