Description
3 p.l., 208 pp. 8vo, mid-19th-century blue cloth over boards bound for Sir Thomas Phillipps in the cheapest fashion possible (joints with splits, cloth & title somewhat soiled), uncut. Liverpool: 1816. Roscoe (1753-1831), historian, patron of the arts, abolitionist and M.P., formed a fine library of Italian literature and early printed books illustrating the rise and progress of the art of printing, and several important manuscripts. Following his retirement, he became a partner of a Liverpool bank; after it failed in 1816, Roscoe was obliged to sell his library to satisfy part of the claims. His friends bought a selection of Italian and other books at the sale for 600 pounds, and offered them to him as a gift, which he refused (they were subsequently presented to the Liverpool Athenaeum to form the “Roscoe Collection”). The sale realized 5,013.11.9 pounds; the outstanding item was lot 1810, the famous Italian fourteenth century Bible (170 pounds to Robinson, sold by him to the Earl of Leicester for 200 guineas, who also bought privately Roscoe’s Biblia Pauperum and the 1459 Mainz Psalter). Very good copy from the library of Sir Thomas Phillipps. Bookplate of A.R.A. Hobson. 1813 lots. ❧ De Ricci, pp. 93-94. ODNB.

Description
South Norwalk, CT, 1875. Hardcover. Good. Bound volume containing all six issues. 194p. Original wrappers bound in on all 6 issues. Covers somewhat worn and bowed. Contents reasonably sound although the original wrappers have some chipping and other wear (the wraps on the first issue have been heavily repaired with paper and cellophane tape). Minor worming to last issue. This appears to constitute the entire run as the sixth issue announces suspension of publication and offers to the "goodwill and circulation" for sale. This rare periodical which is not found in OCLC came to us from the library of Reverdy Whitlock, one of the bookselling Whitlocks in the New Haven area who were presumably related in some fashion to the editor. Ownership signature of "Ida Virginia Hale Whitlock" of Bethany on endpaper -- we were told that she married the editor -- who appears to have been the principal author of material in these six issues, including a story ("After Many Days; or, Agnes Ecclethorpe's True Womanhood") that was serialized over these six issues (at pages 1-6; 32-38; 65-70; 97-101; 129-134; and 162-166).
