Description
London: Ward Lock & Co, 1891. First Edition. First printing, without Bowden's name added to the title page imprint, the Preface with Wilde's name at the end in larger, bolder type, and with "nd" for "and" beginning the eighth line from the bottom on page 208. The error was corrected for the second printing, which included the 250 signed copies of the limited edition—copies that, in addition to being the second issue, are literally the second printing. This trade edition is not only earlier than the limited but, when it has its dust jacket, many times rarer. Original white vellum (parchment)-backed boards, former owner's neat name to endpaper, spine slightly faded (from light, not dust), else near fine in the rare dust jacket, with small tears and chips to the spine tips and corners neatly repaired, a bit short (an irregularity with nineteenth-century hand-trimmed jackets), but a charismatic jacket still—integral, clean, and one to be owned with pride. An unequivocal Victorian classic, as great a short novel as has ever been written, and copies in dustjacket must have been dumped in the Bermuda Triangle because they never show up at auction or in the trade. Full morocco case. Wilde was from that atypical minority of great men, those who do not remind us of anyone else. He wrote the best comedies since Shakespeare, mastered paradox, and was the reigning wit of the 1890s, but he became a victim when society forgot that the mouse should never be a juror at the cat’s trial. Dorian Gray was his only novel, and why not? When you write one like this, one is sufficient. It’s undeniably a modern Gothic, and a self-evident Victorian classic, unique in the delicacy of its grim and melancholy metaphor, and it continues to maintain it’s appeal even in our 21st century.

Description
Venice: Appresso Francesco de’ Francheschi Senese, 1594. Hardcover. Very Good+. 4to (200 x 145mm). [24], 1-573pp [16, tavola] (several misprinted pages detailed on front pastedown as common). Signatures: a(8); b(4); A-Z(8); Aa-Pp(8); Qq(4). Title with engraved circular device with arms of Bargagli and motto “Et propinquiori.” Double-page engraved opening of Emperor Rudolf II and dedicatory full-page emblem with motto, “Et profundissima quaeque.” 138 oblong or oval engravings in text with Latin mottos. Text in roman and italics. 17th-century vellum, spine with label “IMPRESE DEL BARGAGLI” and speckled edges; (title a bit worn with minor mends, some intermittent browning near end, some small gouges to binding, otherwise good). Old library shelfmark excised and affixed to front pastedown: “VIII. H.” Modern armorial bookplate of Bibliotheque I.G. Schorsch on the front flyleaf. The first book of the Dell’imprese treatise was first published in 1578 (La prima parte dell’imprese by Luca Bonetti in Siena) and then reprinted in 1589. This is a later edition of the second and third part of the treatise, which Scipione Bargagli composed in the 1570s. The work was printed in 1594 with Francesco de’ Franceschi of Venice, together with the author’s oration in praise of the academia (1569) and an address for the death of Alessandro Piccolomini (1579). The imprese device has been defined as a “self-portrait,” highly individualized and usually commissioned to amplify certain qualities about a person. Bargagli’s work on imprese is important in thinking about patronage of images in sixteenth century Italy. It is especially noted that Bargagli devoted a long section in the fourth book to describe imprese made for or commissioned by women. Several of the women highlighted by him were engaged in important literary and intellectual activities of the time, including Lucrezi Gozaga, Iotta Brembata, Ersilia Cortese, Giovanna d’Aragona, and Fulvia Spannocchi. Bargagli explicitly attributes the impresas to these women, addressing their ingenuity, as well as their dignified role in noble society.

Newburyport: Printed by Edmund M. Blunt, 1797. 32pp, with the half title as issued. Disbound with scattered foxing. Good plus. Reverend Appleton [1772-1819] discusses the history of the Town of Hampton. "The name which was given to this town by the Aborigines, was Winnicumet. Of the names of the first settlers of Hampton, only sixteen are transmitted to us; and but four of these names yet continue in the place." He names and discusses the pastors of this Church beginning with the first, Stephen Batchelor. This is apparently Appleton's only published sermon. Evans 31740. Sabin 1804. ESTC 24746.
