Description
London William Pickering, 1829. 8vo. (5 3/4 x 3 3/4 inches) full roan diced russia with a double gilt fillet border surrounding a wide roll border made up of urns and foliage; spine with four raised bands with the title on a morocco label, the other compartments decorated with a large gilt urn surrounded by stars and flower heads. Board edges gilt, inner gilt dentelles; a.e.g. Slight wear to the corners. School prize bookplate from Eton on the front paste down. Latin edition of Horace based principally on the editions of Zeune, Gesner and Bothe. Said to be a sly but never insensitive man, a sometimes aloof lover of independence who was also a devoted friend of the emperor Augustus, of Mæcenas, and of Vergil, Horace was an Epicurean in good times and a stoic in adversity. Not in Keynes or in Pickering & Chatto catalogue on the publications of the Press. Just seven copies reported in OCLC: Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Stanford, Northwestern and Loras College.

Description
New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co, 1891. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Near Fine. 8vo., 540(3)pp. Sharp First Edition of this collection of 20 biographical essays of the greatest composers. Bound in publisher's brown cloth with titles and musical score decorations in gilt, black and red on front board and spine. Top edge gilt though now largely dulled. Beveled edges. Illustrations of the composers featured including tissue-guarded frontis photographic plate of Franz Liszt. Square, tight and clean throughout with quite light toning to page edges. Odd off-setting to rear paste-down and the verso of the contents page that looks like a fabric or animal skin dust-jacket covered the book at one time. A few smudges here and there and fairly minor wear to spine end and tips. Cloth lightly toned. A very pretty collectable copy at a great price.
