	[DUDLEY, ROBERT, EARL OF LEICESTER] SECRET MEMOIRS OF ROBERT DUDLEY, Earl of Leicester, Prime Minister and Favorite of Queen Elizabeth. London, Samuel Briscoe 1706, hb. Recent, most attractive, re-bind in 1/2 leather over marbled bds. Small 8vo, pp. (34), 218. (Title page continues): "Written during his Life, and now Published from an Old Manuscript. With a Preface by Dr. Drake." Â ¶ Dudley (1532?-1588) was a favorite of Queen Elizabeth, although previously married to Amye Robsart (1550). He is supposed by some, including the author of LEICESTER'S COMMONWEALTH (printed 1584), to have brought about the murder of his wife (1560). He attempted, with the queen's consent, to obtain Spanish support for his projected marriage with Elizabeth at the price of acknowledging papal supremacy (Concise Dict. of Nat. Bio., p. 851). Dudley's presumptuousness sporadically incurred royal displeasure. He died of fever (some say he was poisoned) in 1588. On a blank preliminary page, there is written in an old "copper plate" hand, the following: "Mr. D'Israeli informs us that in one instance at least Dr. Drake condescended to practise literary imposition. He reprinted Father Parson's famous libel against the earl of Leicester in Q Eliz. reign under the title secret memoirs of Rob Dudley 1706 with a preface pretending it was printed from an old MS. instead of being literally taken from Leicester's Commonwealth. [signature] Chalmers [indecipherable]". This is the "Second Edition Corrected". Dr. [James] Drake (1667-1707) was a political writer educated at Eton and Cambridge, who was prosecuted for his Tory pamphlet "The History of the Last Parliament", but acquitted. This copy very nicely re-bound in half leather, over marbled boards, with raised bands and gilt rules to the spine, and fresh endpapers. Contents typically age-toned, but now tight and easily readable. Mispagination at p. 160 and pp. 211 to 218 (incorrectly printed p. 111 to 118).

Â ¶ Bevelled boards, silver rules, titling in silver, with ribbon marker. Coloured tipped-in frontispiece and 130 other illustrations. With a biographical introduction by Prof. P. Weil-Nordon.

	[BINDINGS] THOMAS SIMMS BETTENS , The Gilliss Press (printer) 1909, 1st edition, hb leather. Ill.: b&w photogravure plates. Finely bound in full plain levant morocco with leather doublures. 8vo pp. 132. Raised bands & gilt lettering to spine. The doublures have unusual gilt fillet borders; silk moire eps, Japon paper, t.e.g. Â ¶ Bettens (1851-1907) graduated from Harvard in 1874 and from 1878 to 1906 taught classics in a secondary school in New York City. He evidently made quite an impression upon his pupils, as a group of Ivy League graduates commissioned the sculpture Masaniello Piccirilli to execute a water fountain memorial honouring Bettens, which was placed in the Entrance Hall of the Harvard Union, Cambridge, Massachusetts. His mother and brother published a memorial book in 1908, and several of the letters referring to this book, and the fountain, are published herein, in a limited edition of 250 copies. Bettens is, no doubt, long forgotten, but this book is a work of the bookbinder's art. Leather doublures are unusual enough in themselves, but to be tooled with bordering gilt fillets is particularly uncommon in both England and the U.S. The binding, which is stamped with the signature of Stikeman & Co., is superb. The only flaws are two tiny nicks near the top of the front board, and the slightest of abrasions near the bottom. Otherwise, the book is in near fine, or better, condition.

He evidently made quite an impression upon his pupils, as a group of Ivy League graduates commissioned the sculpture Masaniello Piccirilli to execute a water fountain memorial honouring Bettens, which was placed in the Entrance Hall of the Harvard Union, Cambridge, Massachusetts. His mother and brother published a memorial book in 1908, and several of the letters referring to this book, and the fountain, are published herein, in a limited edition of 250 copies. Bettens is, no doubt, long forgotten, but this book is a work of the bookbinder's art. Leather doublures are unusual enough in themselves, but to be tooled with bordering gilt fillets is particularly uncommon in both England and the U.S. The binding, which is stamped with the signature of Stikeman & Co., is superb. The only flaws are two tiny nicks near the top of the front board, and the slightest of abrasions near the bottom. Otherwise, the book is in near fine, or better, condition.
