London: Philip Lee Warner, Publisher to the Medici Society, 1914. First thus. Fine. One of 500 copies on paper (twelve copies on vellum were also produced) printed by C.T Jacobi and published for the Medici Society by Philip Lee Warner. Original full limp vellum binding titled in gilt and retaining the original fore-edge ties. Quarto. xv, [1], 88 pp. Printed on handmade paper in the signature Riccardi Press typeface. With ornaments and ten mounted color plates (including frontispiece) by Frederick Cayley Robinson (1862 - 1927), each with a printed tissue guard. Title-page lettering by Edith M. Engall. Ink gift inscription (dated 1918) and mid-twentieth century ink ownership signature to upper flyleaf. A Fine, bright copy. Frederick Cayley Robinson (1862 - 1927) was an accomplished painter and illustrator. His painting The Death of Abel, held at the Musée d'Orsay in Paris, is considered his most enduring work. "This work was the source of an illustration for The Book of Genesis, published by the Riccardi Press in 1914; together with another masterpiece, The Death of Rachel, it constitutes his finest achievement as a book illustrator" (ODNB). Robinson's illustrations for The Book of Genesis epitomize his melancholy style, which reflected the influence of both ornate art deco aesthetics and the somber clarity of the Symbolist movement. Fine.

Description
Edinburgh: J. Balfour, 1774. Mixed ed. Vols. 1-3 only (of 6). Vol. 1 second edition "with large additions and corrections"; the ESTC states that Vol. 1 was reprinted as a "second" edition in 1774 as the publishers discovered they had not printed a sufficient number. Library buckram, spines faded. Burnett's work, a landmark of historical linguistics, analyzes the structure of primitive and modern languages, arguing that mankind had evolved language skills in response to his changing environment and altering social structures. Burnett was the first to discover that primitive languages create unnecessarily lengthy words for rather simple concepts. He also traced the origin of modern European languages.
