Author: DIBDIN, Thomas Frognall
Seller: Jonathan A. Hill, Bookseller, Inc. (United States)
Description: 16 pp. 8vo, a wonderful cont. binding by George Mullen of Dublin (with his ticket) of cream-colored straight-grained morocco (spine very slightly darkened), richly gilt & blind-tooled, around sides gilt roll borders in a “Gothic” design, flanked by quadruple gilt fillets, central panels decorated in blind, in center of each cover a large lozenge-shaped arabesque blind stamp, inner arabesque cornerpieces; inside borders gilt, doublures & endleaves of blue watered silk, framed by blind ornamental borders, spine with four raised bands & richly gilt, second compartment with title lettered in gilt, a.e.g. [London: printed by W. Bulmer, [1814].]. First edition, limited to 36 copies only; one of the great Dibdin rarities, here bound, ca. 1816, in one of the masterpieces by George Mullen of Dublin, Ireland’s finest binder of the period, with his ticket. In this work we find Dibdin in the guise of bookseller. In October 1814 Dibdin managed to purchase for 500 guineas from the Dean and Chapter of Lincoln Cathedral six volumes containing 19 titles, mostly black-letter rarities, including four Caxtons. Within a month, Dibdin produced the present catalogue. “The well-turned archness of the title and the enthusiasm of the descriptions, the use of the best printer in England and the small limitation, the quality and the rarity of the books…and the standing in the book world of the celebrated author of Bibliomania, were carefully chosen ingredients which made The Lincolne Nosegay the most exclusive bookseller’s catalogue ever issued. It may perhaps be more aptly termed a private auction catalogue, for it is unpriced, but the distinction is not important. More important is the limitation of edition as the measure of Dibdin’s influenceable circle of friends and maximum targeted sales audience: thirty-one in the Roxburghe Club, including himself, and five spare copies…It is therefore not surprising that the Nosegay became a highly-prized collector’s bijou — a joy to possess and a frustration not to possess…The Nosegay has remained a rare and attractive relic of its age.”–Rabaiotti, “Beckford’s A Dialogue in the Shades and Dibdin’s The Lincolne Nosegay” in The Book Collector, Summer 1989, pp. 212-13. Provenance: This copy was given or sold by Dibdin to the Rev. Daniel McNeille, rector of Hackestowne in Ireland; on the upper portion of a front flyleaf Dibdin has written: “Price stitched 3s/6d. Only 36 Copies printed. T.F.D.” This copy was bought at the sale of McNeille’s “valuable” library in Dublin in July 1816 (clipping regarding the sale from the Dublin Journal of 20 July 1816 mounted on an endpaper) by William Shaw Mason (1774-1853), author of A Statistical Account or Parochial Survey of Ireland. On the flyleaf, underneath Dibdin’s note, the auctioneer, Richard Edward Mercier, has recorded that Dibdin himself had given him an unsuccessful commission for this book: “…I had a Commission from Mr. Dibdin to purchase for him this Literary Bijoux, which he was very anxious to repossess.“ Mason, who probably asked Mercier to write this note, had it bound by Mullen, the outstanding Irish binder of the period, and presented it to Earl Whitworth of Abaston (1795-1825), Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from 1813 to 1817. On another flyleaf, there is a dedication in Mason’s hand: “His Excellency Charles Earl Whitworth, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland &c., whose kind Condecension has so especially promoted the progress of the Statistical Survey.” With the bookplate of George John, Eighth Earl of De La Warr (1791-1869) on the front doublure. From the library of Bernard H. Breslauer (his sale, Christie’s NY, 21 March 2005, lot 83). The binding was exhibited, and reproduced in the exhibition’s catalogue, at the Houghton Library in 1991. Fine copy preserved in a box. ❧ Jackson 34. Windle & Pippin A 24a.

Title: The Journal of Albion Moonlight
Author: PATCHEN, Kenneth
Seller: James S. Jaffe Rare Books LLC (United States)
Condition: A fine copy
Description: (New York: Kenneth Patchen, 1941). First edition, first issue (Subscriber's Edition), self-published. One of 50 copies printed in Bodoni types on specially made Italian handmade paper by Peter Beilenson at the Walpole Printing Office in Mount Vernon, N. Y., and signed by the author. Morgan A3. Morgan calls for a three-quarter leather binding; Larry Smith also mentions such a binding; we have seen numerous copies of the Subscriber's Edition over the course of almost fifty years, but none in a leather binding. So far as we know, the regular binding was red buckram and marbled boards, as here. James Laughlin had initially contracted to publish the novel, but subsequently rejected it, in part because he couldn't understand it, and also, perhaps, because he succumbed to pressure from Delmore Schwartz of the Partisan Review who maintained an unremitting vendetta against Patchen, whose vehement anti-war stance was increasingly unpopular during the years leading up to America's entry into the war. Laughlin would change his mind eventually, and in 1961 New Directions became the publisher of The Journal of Albion Moonlight, keeping it in print ever since. A fine copy. Tall 8vo, original red buckram-backed marbled boards, publisher's slipcase with printed label on spine. A fine copy.
