Description
New York: The Century Co, 1889. First edition, 6 volumes in the original 24 parts, large 4to, pp. [2], xviii, 7046, [30] (continuous pagination); text in triple column; numerous (approximately 6000) illustrations throughout the text; light rubbing and wear all around, but generally a very good set in original decorative brown cloth. "In 1882 Charles Annandale greatly enlarged Ogilvie's dictionary (The Imperial Dictionary, 1850) which came to be the basis for The Century, an American work modeled after the OED. William Dwight Whitney, a well-known Sanskrit scholar and linguist (and professor of comparative philology and Sanskrit at Yale) was the editor... Beautifully printed at the DeVinne Press, it is surely one of the handsomest dictionaries ever made" (Landau, Dictionaries: The Art and Craft of Lexicography, p. 72). Kennedy 6584; O'Neill C-20; Vancil, p. 48.

First French edition of Spohr's 12th quartet, in C major. Part of the complete edition of Spohr's quartets to date. Göthel p. 82. Devriès-Lesure II, p. 365. WorldCat (1 copy only, at the Koninklijke bibliotheek, The Hague. The overpaste dates from 1856-60 (see Humphries & Smith p. 328). "The largest portion of Spohr's chamber music was for strings alone, ranging from 19 unsurpassed duos for two violins to four masterly, and largely unemulated, double string quartets. These, together with the 36 string quartets (and several other works for the same combination), seven string quintets and the String Sextet of 1848, display a number of common features. Spohr's own mastery of the violin is evident in all of them, and their technical difficulties, together with the particular style of performance necessary to secure their full effect, may partly explain their infrequent performance. The quartets, especially, fall into two distinct categories: solo quartets in the tradition of Rode (often entitled Quatuor brillant), which are essentially violin concertos with string trio accompaniment, and true quartets where the interest is more evenly divided between the instruments." Clive Brown in Grove Music Online.
