Description
London: Fanfrolico Press, 1928. Very Good/No Dust Jacket, As Issued. THE LAST ELIZABETHAN of the MACABRE A stunning private press production of the complete works of Thomas Lovell Beddoes, the 19th-century 'Physician-Poet' whose obsession with mortality earned him a cult following. Edited by the legendary Edmund Gosse, this edition is the definitive monument to a writer who Lytton Strachey called 'the last Elizabethan' Published by the avant-garde Fanfrolico Press in their final year of operation, the set is a masterclass in gothic book design, utilizing the grim aesthetics of the 16th century to frame Beddoes' haunting 19th-century verse. PHYSICAL FEATURES: Quarter-cloth over distinctive patterned boards with original printed paper spine labels; a tall, imposing 4to format (10.25 inches). Features a frontispiece portrait and textual illustrations throughout, meticulously reproduced from Hans Holbein's The Dance of Death-the perfect visual counterpart to Beddoes' preoccupation with the grave. +++ Press Heritage: A cornerstone title from the Fanfrolico Press, founded by Australian rebel Jack Lindsay to challenge London's moral standards with high-art, bold-content publishing. +++ Scarcity: Limited to only 750 numbered copies (#251). CONDITION: Near Fine -- An exceptionally well-preserved set. The cloth-backed patterned boards are tight and square with minor scuffing to the edges. Internals are clean with light, even toning and faint staining to the text block edges. Spine labels are intact and legible. A superior example of a set often found with heavy wear. HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE -- Beddoes lived a life as dark as his poetry, eventually committing suicide in Switzerland by poison. His work-particularly Death's Jest-Book-is a bridge between the Romantic era and the Decadent movement. This Fanfrolico edition rescued him from obscurity, presenting his 'thought-provoking linguistic tapestry' in a format that mirrors his own anatomical and spiritual curiosities. SUBJECTS: Private Press, Gothic Poetry, Hans Holbein, Dance of Death, 19th Century Literature, Jack Lindsay, Limited Edition, Illustrated Books, Fine Press.

"Frederick Parker Walton's Historical Introduction to Roman Law is a magisterial work that was part of the movement for the revival of Roman law teaching in the Anglo-American world." -- Introduction, iii "`With the exception of the Bible there is no book which has so profoundly affected western civilization as the Corpus Juris.' With these suggestive words Dean Walton begins his clear and interesting summary of the history of the Roman Law before Justinian. Intended as an introduction to the study in Montreal of the Roman law in its modern form, and especially as it appears today in the law of the Province of Quebec, it is equally valuable for one who is to learn the modern Civil law and for one to whom Roman law is of interest only as a wonderful and effective example of the human intellect applied to the complex affairs of an imperial civilization. Dean Walton describes clearly and convincingly not only the history of important legal doctrines, but also the constitutional history of Rome so far as it had to do with the making of law. The author's learning is evident, but not obtrusive; his grasp of the subject is complete; his enthusiasm is, even to a devotee of the Common Law, almost contagious. Of especial value to a student of English law are his description of the growth of the commercial law at Rome, his explanation of the ante-Justinian sources of law, and his theory of the development of the jus gentium. In publishing in so handy a form just the facts about the history of Roman law that we most need to know, Dean Walton has deserved the thanks of the profession." -- J[oseph] H[enry] B[eale], Jr., 17 Harvard Law Review 294 1903-1904 FREDERICK PARKER WALTON [1858-1948] studied classics at Oxford, received his LLB at the University of Edinburgh and became an advocate in that city. He lectured in Roman law at the University of Glasgow before he was.
