Seller: James Cummins Bookseller

Title: Catalogue of All the Books Printed in the United States, with the Prices, Places where Published, Annexed
Seller: James Cummins Bookseller (United States)
Condition: Later marbled wrappers
Description: Boston: For the Booksellers, 1804. First edition. 79, [1]pp. LAST LEAF IN FACSIMILE. 8vo. Later marbled wrappers. First edition. 79, [1]pp. LAST LEAF IN FACSIMILE. 8vo. "The first trade catalogue of books in the United States, of which very few copies are known" (Streeter). The title continues: "This catalogue is intended to include all books of general sale printed in the United States, whether original or reprinted; that the public may see the rapid progress of book-printing in a country where, twenty years since, scarcely a book was published. Local and occasional tracts are generally omitted. Some few of the books in this Catalogue are now out of print; and others are scarce. It is contemplated to publish a new edition of this Catalogue every two years, and to make the necessary additions and corrections; and it is hoped the time is not far distant, when useful Libraries may be formed of American editions of Books, well printed, and handsomely bound." "The remarkable thing about this catalogue is that it was the very first bibliographical attempt at a general catalogue, in separate form, in America. It is quite interesting as an early American booksellers' list of American publications, as well as for its classification ... The fact that no subsequent issues of this catalogue appeared, evinces the very small interest in bibliographic knowledge in those early days. This curiosity of early American bibliography gives the titles of 1338 books, all of American publication, with prices in 1804" (Spofford, A Book for All Readers, p. 479) The work was reprinted in 1898 for the Dibdin Club and at that time only three examples were known. Scarce in the trade, with the last example at auction being the Streeter copy in 1969. Sabin 11486; Shaw & Shoemaker 5987; Streeter sale 4319

Title: SYLLABUS OF A COURSE OF LECTURES ON THE HISTORY AND CRITICISM OF SPANISH LITERATURE
Author: Ticknor, George
Seller: David M. Lesser, Fine Antiquarian Books LLC (United States)
Description: Cambridge: Printed at the University Press, by Hilliard and Metcalf, 1823. iv, 84, [2] pp, with ownership signature of "G. Bemis, Cambridge 1834." Learned manuscript annotations on previously blank leaf following page 84, and in some blank margins. Original printed wrappers, untrimmed, couple of closed blank margin tears. Very Good. This is the first edition of Ticknor's first book. Ticknor lists 251 numbered paragraphs of citations, titles of the numerous works supporting his lectures in Spanish literature. Ticknor's prefatory remarks explain that the "subject to which they are devoted is, in many respects, new in Europe; and, in this country, is quite untouched. The Spaniards themselves have no work of history or criticism embracing the whole of their literature, or even its best portions; and in England, and in Italy, nothing has been done to assist them." He thus offers the apparent first study of Spanish literature published in America. Palau 332034. AI 14288.

Title: For Love of the King
Author: WILDE, Oscar
Seller: David Brass Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: London: Methuen & Co. Ltd., 1922. The Infamous Fifteenth Volume - Wilde's 'Lost' Play That Wasn't" WILDE, Oscar. For Love of the King. London: Methuen & Co. Ltd., [1922]. Limited to 1,000 copies. Small quarto (8 3/8 x 5 3/4 inches; 213 x 146 mm.). [vi, blank], [xiv], 1-39, [1, blank], [4, blank] pp. Handsomely bound in three-quarter black morocco over gray marbled boards, covers ruled in gilt, spine with five raised bands, lettered in gilt in compartments, gray marbled endpapers, top edge gilt, others uncut. With the Ex Libris bookplate of Charles Bauman on the front paste-down. Housed in a black morocco edged cloth slipcase. An unusually fine, well-preserved copy, enhanced by an attractive later morocco binding. The notorious "fifteenth volume" of the Methuen collected works of Wilde. Originally issued in 1908 in fourteen volumes, the set was unexpectedly augmented in 1922 by the addition of For Love of the King, presented by the publisher as a newly discovered Wilde play. The claim was quickly met with skepticism, and the work is now generally regarded as spurious or, at best, of highly doubtful attribution. Despite this, Methuen produced the volume in uniform style with the earlier set, encouraging its assimilation into complete runs. The text itself - a "Burmese Masque" - differs markedly in tone and quality from Wilde's authenticated dramatic works, further contributing to the controversy surrounding its authorship. Long considered one of the more curious episodes in Wilde bibliography An essential - and somewhat mischievous - addition for collectors of the Methuen Wilde.
