Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. Hardcover. This is the third edition of Montaigne's influential and famous essays, and on the title page it says that whereunto this edition is now more newly added an index of the principal matters and personages mentioned in the book. The celebrated architectural illustration that is engraved on the title page is by Martin Droeshout, responsible for the iconic portrait of Shakespeare in the First Folio, also appeared in this edition for the first time, Montaigne is credited with pioneering the modern essay form. His Essays are a collection of personal reflections, exploring a wide range of topics from human nature to philosophy, literature, and personal experiences. Published in three books, they were written and revised over several decades, with the first edition appearing in 1580. The remarkable modernity of thought apparent in Montaigne's essays, coupled with their sustained popularity, made them arguably the most prominent work in French philosophy until the Enlightenment. Their influence over French education and culture is still strong. [Wikipedia] They were originally written in Middle French and published in the Kingdom of France. Montaigne's stated design in writing, publishing and revising the Essays over the period from approximately 1570 to 1592 was to record "some traits of my character and of my humours." Montaigne's Essays went through several stages of publication, evolving from a two-book work in 1580 to a final, posthumous edition in 1595. The first English translation of Montaigne's Essays was published in 1603 by John Florio. This translation, titled The Essayes, or, Morall, politike and millitarie discourses, was a significant event in English literature, introducing the French philosopher's work to an English-speaking audience. Bound in full brown leather; the spine has raised bands with titling and ornaments in gilt. There are small chips on the right side of each band. A small piece of leather at the bottom of spine edge is torn away, and their is a slight crack to the top of spine along the front cover. The covers have some bumping and rubbing and a few small spots. It appears that the formal endpapers are missing, and there is just rough paper covering the inside covers. It is torn and revels glue remnants The front inside cover has a bookplate with a coronet and the Latin motto "Vernon Semper Viret", meaning in English "Vernon Always Flourishes". This appears to belong to George John Warren Venables-Vernon, 5th Baron Vernon (1803-1866), who was a British politician and member of parliament. He was also a devotee of Dante and The Inferno. The text pages have bright white margins but the printed text sections are somewhat browned. There small brown spots along the margins of pages 55-60, with one having become a hole. There are three books of essays, with the second and third books having title pages dated 1631. The first book: pages 1 - 177; the second book: pages 183-440; the third book: pages 443-631. It is followed by the "Index or Table of subjects that is unpaginated. Despite the noted condition issue, this is still a very good copy of this important book. LIT/073125.…

Coronets Frontispiece, Title, English Advertisement, French Advertisement, 50 Leaves of Cyphers. Frontispiece reads: "A book of cyphers composed by Col. Parsons. Imprimatur Carlisle. E. M. 1703." Priced bound at 12 shillings. 18 leaves with extensive contemporary ink manuscript penmanship editions on versos. Bound to style in quarter 18th-century morocco over 18th-century marble paper boards Extensively annotated first edition, Parsons's enigmatic cypher book draws on heraldy, cryptography, and typography, and led a craze for monogrammatic systems of which many imitators followed. "Such cyphers were extremely popular on both sides of the Atlantic during the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. For inspiration in preparing clients' personal designs, engravers typically relied on guides by designers, such as William Parsons's New Book of Cyphers." - DDW Parsons's New Book of Cyphers was at the forefront of a publishing craze for cyphers in the 1700s; it was the fourth such book to be printed and dozens of nearly identical ones followed. Samuel Sympson released books with the exact same title as the present in 1739 and 1750. Phillip Barraud, meanwhile, had the good taste in 1782 to change Parsons's title by one word to "A New Book of Single Cyphers." Cyphers were used to create heraldic devices and monogrammatic signatures, to embroider on clothing, use as trademarks or store signs, or to incorporate into bookplates, as many book collectors have and continue to do. Cyphers differ from monograms in that the individual aspects of a cypher system can be exchanged without affecting the overall system; the letterforms in monograms must be redesigned each time. The cypher system, with its internal algorithmic rules and capacity for change, can easily encrypt secret messages, and has done so from mysterious medieval codices like the Voynich Manuscript to the communiques of British generals during the American Revolution to the blockchain and "crypto" today. Cyphers were so faddish in the 1700s, that people kept albums full of printed cyphers they had collected from their family, friends, and celebrities of the period. Cyphers, in other words, were treated something like autographs, something like business cards, something like keepsakes, and they were devices people and their families identified with strongly. The 600 engraved cyphers across 56 plates in this first edition of Parson's book each show how to interlink two separate letters within Parsons's larger system of encipherment. Parsons gives instructions in both French and English on how to use them to compose longer texts. Parsons comments severely in his preliminary "Advertisement" preface that the earlier works on the subject contained only half the required number of cyphers necessary to complete their alphabets. By extrapolating from Parsons's text and his supplied two-letter cypher building-blocks, one could create cyphers of any length that would maintain a consistent, coherent design and be able to be deciphered if one knew the system. This book of cyphers seems oriented toward a striving merchant class, not an aristocracy born into their family's symbols from the beginning of their lives. Anyone with access to pen and paper could make a cypher of their initials using this book. This interpretation is bolstered by the early-19th century ink manuscript editions found in the book. Numerous pages of repetitive handwriting exercises express upright moral sentiments: "By a commendable deportment we gain reputation." "Compassionate men never prove extortioners." "A flattering companion is a dangerous enemy." "Brave spirits promote the public good." These didactic lines were copied out of Fisher's The American Instructor: or, Young Man's Best Companion . . .

Original copper engraving (60 x 44 cm, overall sheet 68 x 55 cm). An excellent example overall. From "A Collection of Prints. Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakespeare." published by Boydell, London, 1803. In 1789, the publisher John Boydell opened the Shakespeare Gallery, an exhibition space in London's Pall Mall showcasing paintings that exclusively represented scenes from Shakespeare's plays. The Gallery was a bid to revive 'history painting' (the practice of depicting scenes from the Bible, mythology or the classics) in contemporary British art, a genre thought to be of great public benefit because of its morally instructive messages. What better unifying theme for such a project than the works of Shakespeare, which had become so popular and so integral to British identity by the mid-18th century? The Gallery opened in May 1789 with 34 canvases by 18 British artists. By the next year there were 55 paintings and in 1796 the total was 84, along with dozens of 'Small Pictures'. Once the exhibition was mounted, reproductive engravings of the paintings produced by an in-house team of 46 printmakers were available to purchase, either as a large portfolio of 90 prints or as a luxurious illustrated edition of the plays.
