Cloth, 8vo, 23 cm, xi, 247 pp. In the early nineteenth century, the publishing house of Taylor & Hessey brought out the work of Keats, Clare, Hazlitt, De Quincey Carlyle, Lamb, Coleridge and many more of the most important literary figures of the time, as well as the great literary journal of the period, The London Magazine. Tim Chilcott here examines the life and work of John Taylor, the firm's founder.

Mr Chilcott also explores the ways in which Taylor and Hessey, as publishers of new literature, dealt with the pressures created by these relationships during the central period 1816 to 1826.

Cloth, small 8vo, 19 cm, xiii, 135 pp. From the blurb: "In the period A.D. 400-1100, perhaps more than in any other, it is necessary to bring together the results of historical, archaeological and place-name studies. Each provides information that is either badly preserved or not preserved at all in the other two, but it is not always realized how great are the difficulties involved in co-ordination and integration. Archaeological evidence is essentially material, and it represents directly practical skills, physical sequences, and sometimes aesthetic interests. Place-name evidence usually comes to the philologist indirectly as a scribe's conception of how certain sounds may be represented in writing, but from it may be drawn safe conclusions concerning the language and speech habits of a people. Historical evidence, itself falling into several categories, is different from both. The co-ordination of different kinds of evidence requires a familiarity with the nature and limitations of each, and a critical but sympathetic appreciation of the difficulties encountered in its collection and interpretation. This book is addressed primarily to students, especially to students at the beginning of their studies, who may find it convenient to have in their hands a book which draws attention to some of the problems they are likely to meet and may provide a basis for discussion."

From the blurb: "Many of the major books published in the years between 1550 and 1660 - one of the richest periods in English culture - were embellished with an elaborate engraved title-page. From among them Margery Corbett and Ronald Lightbown have selected twenty title-pages which represent all the different branches of learning - theology, philosophy, history, poetry, medicine. Some of the books are among the most famous in the language - the Bible, Chapman's Homer, Raleigh's History of the World, Smith's History of Virginia, Hobbes's Leviathan. We learn that these title-pages were not intended simply as ornaments but as visual epitomes in the emblematic mode of significant aspects of the book. Mrs Corbett and Mr Lightbown show that they were designed by the author and his advisers, and explore the whole world of Renaissance emblematic imagery on which they drew. We see how famous figures used the engraved title-page to express the ideas they had in mind when their books were conceived and written - ideas about the Church and society, philosophy and manners, poetry and drama, science and medicine - so that it affords us an exceptional insight into what they themselves considered was important or attractive in their own creations. The authors have also provided a long general introduction to the world of Renaissance title. Pages and emblematic imagery which is the first of its kind." Rosenblum: "The authors discuss four types of illustrated title pages-those with "a single overall design," those divided into compartments, those with a cartouche, and those arranged architecturally. " Among the other title-pages considered are those for John Dee's 1577 General and Rare Memorials and Henry Peacham's 1622 the Compleat Gentleman. Very Good in dustwrapper with minor wear.

From the blurb: "The book may be regarded as a pictorial companion to general histories of exploration .The maps used or drawn by explorers describe the borderland between the known and the unknown. Their evidence may tell us what a traveller expected to find or what he in fact discovered. They may have the authority of a prophecy, of a prospectus, or of a chronicle. In early maps information derived from theory and from experience is often inextricably entangled, and for this very reason they are important documents in the history both of geographical ideas and of geographical discovery. They illustrate the always shifting 'relation of observation, theory, and practice' in this field of science." Good in price-clipped and slightly worn dustwrapper.

Cloth, 8vo, xiv, 225 pp, plates. From the blurb: "William Strahan was one of the leading figures in the book trade of the eighteenth century. As King's Printer, a member of Parliament and the owner of the greatest printing house in London, he stood at the head of his craft: in addition to his long friendship and business connection with Johnson, he was the publisher of Gibbon, Adam Smith, Home and Robertson. His intimacy with Benjamin Franklin led him to extend to America his lively interest in politics as well as trade. Until now Strahan's career has for the most part been relegated to footnotes in the biographies of other men. This is the first full length survey of his life as a whole. The author, who has himself been both publisher and printer, has been able to draw upon much hitherto unpublished material in collections in this country and the United States. Strahan was an admirable letter writer, and his correspondence with authors, booksellers and printers touches on many problems still relevant today - the earnings of writers, bestsellers and flops, price-cutting and piracy, long credit and bad debts. The book is thus a portrait of the book trade at a particularly interesting stage of its development as well as the story of a remarkable career." Very Good in slightly darkened and used dustrapper.
