Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts

Title: Essai sur la declamation oratoire
Author: CRESP
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: Paris: Hachette, 1837. FIRST EDITION. Original printed blue wrappers. A perfect copy of a fascinating book. First edition of this manual for curing speech disorders. The text addresses stuttering, stammering (apparently different from stuttering), mumbling, inability to roll R’s, and guttural pronunciation. It describes repetitive verbal and physical exercises to combat each of these issues. The final chapter is an alphabetic guide to correctly forming each letter with the mouth and tongue. In the introduction, the author stresses the necessity of proper speech and declamation to be taken seriously and to command respect in the public arena, and he points out that students in Italy and England are already being trained in the art of elocution (he later mentions the shortcomings of the English language and how poorly its native speakers pronounce French). He goes on to decry regional French accents and encourages his countrymen to adopt the Parisian lilt. OCLC locates only four physical copies in the U.S. (Berkeley, Kansas, Louisiana State, and Oklahoma).

Condition: Very Good in Very Good- dj
Description: New York: G.P. Putnam's Sons. Very Good in Very Good- dj. (c.1935). First Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [solid copy, only light shelfwear but quite a bit of fading to cloth at edges and spine, slight soiling to bottom page edges; jacket edgeworn, with a few small tears, scuffing/rubbing to front panel, very faded at spine (although title, decoration, and publisher's name still stand out)]. The story of a henpecked husband who, for twenty years, "suffered the tortures of a shrill, petty and bullying wife" -- until one evening, he lost his memory! "The adventures which then befell him, his meeting with the healthy, jovial Minnie Guest, his success in business, and gradually the re-entrance of his wife into his life, are dramatically and skilfully related in one of the most successful stories of a dual personality since Stevenson's masterpiece [i.e., 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde']." The author was quite prolific, having published his first novel in 1911 (this was his forty-second book, per the jacket blurb); a significant portion of his early work was in the science-fiction, horror and ghost-story genres.

Hardcover. 12" X 8 1/2". 231pp. Presents nicely in protective archival sleeved dust jacket. Mild edgewear to dust jacket, with bumping to tail of spine. Bound in full dark brown cloth, with spine lettered in gilt. A hint of shelfwear to binding, with faint dust spotting to cloth. Binding is firm, tight, and sound. Pages are clean, bright, and unmarked. A very presentable hardcover in dust jacket of this sixth volume of The William Blake Trust and Princeton University Press' Illuminated Books of William Blake. ABOUT THIS BOOK: The last volumes in the series of William Blake's Illuminated Books reveal the writer and artist as a prophet driven by a sense of apocalyptic urgency. Blake conceived and executed The Continental Prophecies and The Urizen Books in the early 1790s, capturing the intellectual and spiritual turmoil of the American and French revolutions. Here, for the first time, the general reader will encounter Blake's most intense vision in reproductions that do justice to the originals, accompanied by texts, comprehensive notes and commentaries, and detailed interpretations of the designs. The Urizen Books, made up of "Urizen," "The Book of Los," and "Ahania," describes the dissemination of the autocratic mythology of Urizen, Blake's inflexibly rationalist and myopic law-giver. These books stand as the author's sensible and considered response to the events of his time. The illuminated text of "Urizen" and the ten full-page illustrations from copy D in the British Museum, never before reproduced, represent a tour de force in Blake's specialist process of color printing. These volumes complete the six-part series of William Blake's Illuminated Books, including Jerusalem, Songs of Innocence and of Experience, The Early Illuminated Books, and Milton, A Poem, all published by Princeton University Press.
