Seller: David Brass Rare Books, Inc. (United States)
Description: London: Published by George Allen, 1897. The Most Important Work Illustrated by Walter Crane, One of 1,000 Copies Printed on Handmade Paper [CRANE, Walter, illustrator]. SPENSER, [Edmund]. Spenser's Faerie Queene. A Poem in Six Books, with the Fragment Mutabilitie. Edited by Thomas J. Wise. Pictured by Walter Crane. London: Published by George Allen, 1897. First edition illustrated by Walter Crane. One of 1,000 copies printed on handmade paper, out of a total edition of 1,028 copies. Originally issued in nineteen parts, with wrappers also designed by Crane. Six quarto volumes (10 11/16 x 8 5/8 inches; 272 x 220 mm.). Double-page general title in Volume I, seven title-pages (Volume I dated 1894, Volumes II-III dated 1895, and Volumes IV-XI dated 1896), and eighty-eight full-page woodcut illustrations (including one double-page).

Zaehnsdorf exhibition stamp in gilt on rear doublure. Original pink printed wrappers bound in. Spines uniformly faded, otherwise a fine set. "The most important work in the whole long list of books illustrated by Walter Crane... If Crane's claim to greatness were based entirely on this work, he would still retain his position in the front rank of nineteenth-century artists. The wealth of ideas and forms, real and fantastic, which are embodied in the actual illustrations, and even more in the marvellous decorative border designs, is almost incredible! Besides the numberless presentments of the human figure in all its manly vigour and womanly grace, the whole range of nature's forms, of animal and plant life, of fabulous, mythological inventions, of allegorical personifications, are worked into decorative designs of exquisite beauty. It would be petty, nay foolish, to try to find fault with certain very obvious shortcomings as regards anatomical drawing in a work which does not only stand unique as pure decoration, but speaks of an amount of knowledge and a wealth of imagination that command unrestricted admiration and respect" (Konody, p. 71). Ashley V, p. 196. Engen, Crane, p. 102. Massé, pp. 47-48.

Title: Friendly Counsel for Girls; or, Words in Season
Author: Cox Sydney
Seller: Michael R. Thompson, Booksellers, ABAA/ILAB (United States)
Description: New York: G.W. Carleton, 1868 First edition. Publisher's brick red cloth. . Octavo. Some edgewear and dampstaining. Blue endpapers. Pencil ownership signature, dated 1983, to front pastedown. Some foxing. A good copy. An advice manual chiefly concerned with guiding a young woman's approach to her education and intellectual development. Most chapters include a short didactic story with explication by the author, who urges young women (aged fourteen to seventeen) to cultivate their skills in languages, math, and the sciences. One of Cox's main pieces of advice is that girls should cultivate one skill they are particularly talented in rather than wasting their efforts attempting to develop skills to which they have no natural inclination. Cox writes, "A girl will save herself much pain and mortification by not attempting to play or sing unless her talent lies in that direction…As regards drawing and painting, too, if you possess any talent for either, by all means cultivate it; but otherwise…Surely it would be better to devote yourself to the acquirement of a language, or the study of astronomy, or history, or botany, or whatever your one talent may be" (p. 27). Cox also offers advice on marriage, friendships, etiquette, dress, and religion.
