Añadir al carritoHard Cover. Condición: Near Fine. Near Fine. 4th Printing. 4th printing (Ford-Smith, Folio 76 #1140). Includes publisher's slipcase. Fine book in near fine slipcase. Slipcase faintly scuffed. Binding tight and square, pages clean, bright, and unmarked. 2003 Hard Cover. 288 pp. A collection of humorous vignettes by various author…s, with contributions by William Shakespeare, Samuel Johnson, Charles Dickens, Winston S. Churchill, the Queen of England, G.K. Chesterton, P.G. Wodehouse, Mark Twain, Dorothy Parker, Groucho Marx, etc., etc. Ever since Chaucer's day, when the host of the Tabard Inn in Southwark rose to welcome the Canterbury Pilgrims with a joke, the After Dinner Speech, designed, if possible, to reduce the assembled company to helpless merriment, has presented the ultimate challenge. The best speakers are natural story-tellers - Gerard Hoffnung, reading a selection of letters from continental hoteliers: 'There is a French widow in every bedroom affording delightful prospects'; John Mortimer telling the woeful tale of a man's numerous unsuccessful attempts to murder his wife: 'At no time did Mrs Scott feel that the magic had gone out of their marriage' - and in this collection of post-prandial treasures you will find the very best of them, from Groucho Marx on how to resist a femme fatale, to Ralph Steadman surreally addressing the Lewis Carroll Centenary Dinner. 'Goodness', said a friend on greeting Mae West, 'where did you get those beautiful pearls?' 'Goodness', replied Mae, 'had nothing to do with it.' Shaggy dog stories, practical jokes, sporting anecdotes, rousing toasts, travellers' tales and risque reminiscences rub shoulders in this essential collection with real-life revelations and moments of history. Among the guests are Peter Ustinov, Jilly Cooper, Brian Johnstone, Charles Dickens, Dorothy Parker, Robertson Davies, Henry Grady and A.P. Herbert. There is food and drink in abundance. There is gentle reflection and endearing charm as well as defiant frivolity. Above all there are stories for every occasion - witty, absurd, momentous, philosophical, fascinating, poignant, and forever entertaining.

Sonst aber ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar/ The binding is slightly bumped. The preliminaries and postscript show slight rubbing and partial paper damage. Otherwise a goo…d and clean copy. - Fulke Greville was the courtier, statesman, and political theorist who, like? Sidney and Dyer, began to write in the 1580s and whose Workes (1633) were published posthumously in the same year as Donnes. Two important verse treatises excluded from that collection were issued as The Remains (1670). A Treatise of Religion had been suppressed in 1633, its omission accounting for the twenty-two missing pages in the Workes. There had apparently been no plan to include A Treatise of Monarchy; even in 1681 it was to strike Richard Baxter as presenting doctrines 'which I greatly wonder this Age would bear. These Treatises have been available only in Southeys British Poets (1831) and in Grosarts Fuller Worthies Library (1870), both deriving from the inaccurate 1670 edition. The present text is the first to be based on the Warwick MSS. Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 550.

The leather is somewhat scuffed, spotting to text. With the armorial bookplate of the Earl of Suffolk and Berkshire to FEP, and an A.L.S. from the author at… Dropmore House, dated 4th May 1829, bound in facing the title, and manuscript corrections to the text to D2r, G4r&v, H2r, I1r, L2r, L4r&v, M1v and M3r. A rare collection, privately printed and with a presentation note addressed to E.A. Barker, described within as 'a scholar', of poetic 'trifles' in neo-Latin, Greek and English, by William Wyndham Grenville, 1st Baron Grenville (1759-1834). As the author, a Tory politician who presided over a short lived Ministry which nevertheless secured the Abolition of the Slave Trade, explains in his preface, the 'following trifles, written at very different periods of the Author's life.were attempted as translations, others as paraphrases only, or still more distant imitations of the poetry to which they refer: the very few original pieces are entirely occasional'. By repute, the majority of the circa 50 copies of this work printed were retained in Grenville's family. Size: Quarto.

Añadir al carritoLeather bound. Condición: Very good. Private Publication. Quarto, [6], 89pp. Marbled boards with red morocco spine and corners, title stamped in gilt on spine. Leather rubbed along spine and corners, scuff mark near lower left corner of back cover. Some foxing, mainly endpapers and flyleaves, untrimmed pages, small closed tear a…long fore edge of pages 53/54. Inscription on front flyleaf: "The Lord Bishop of Oxford, from GM Fortescue, Dropmore, Aug. 18, 1866." (Lowndes II, 942) A nice example of this scarce publication, with approximately 50 copies being printed and bought up primarily by family. The author of this work, Lord William W. Grenville (1759-1834), was a member of the House of Lords and Prime Minister of England from 1806-1807. His most notable accomplishment during his ministry was the passing of the Slave Trade Act of 1807, which resulted in the abolition of the slave trade throughout the British Empire. Lord Grenville's home was Dropmore, which was built in the 1790s, and with his death in 1834, Lady Grenville continued to live at the estate until her death in 1864. Having no children, the home passed into the hands of her nephew, George M. Fortescue (1791-1877). In 1866, Fortescue presented Bishop Samuel Wilberforce (1805-1873) with this copy of his uncle's book of poetry, Nugae Metricae. Bishop Wilberforce was the third son of William Wilberforce, who played a prominent role in the movement to abolish the slave trade in the early nineteenth century. Bishop Wilberforce was involved in the 1860 Oxford debate on evolution, in which he opposed Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Presentation copy of Nugae Metricae by Lord W.W. Grenville, inscribed to Bishop Samuel Wilberforce from George M. Fortescue, nephew of the author. (ilustrador). Signed.
