	ANDRADE E N DA C Poems and Songs Macmillan, U.K. 1949. First Edition, Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. Poetry. xii, 89 pages, size 8.75 inches tall by 5.5 inches. 'More than any other poet of his time. Professor Andrade has gone his own way, disregarding the shifts of poetic fashion and writing to please himself and a few friends-who may now become many. This book contains the work of a lifetime which has been largely given to other activities but has not been without leisure to write verse in the strictest and hardest tradition of craftsmanship. His affinities are with the Elizabethans and the Jacobeans, that is to say, with an age when long hours in the service of the exact sciences did not exclude devotion to the Muses. The best of the Elizabethans could not have written A Rhapsody on Light, but if he had survived to know what now we know about the physical universe this is perhaps what he would write '.

	BELITT BEN Four Poems By Rimbaud : The Problem of Translation Sylvan Press, U.K. 1948. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine /Very Good ++/Very Good. One of the 1,000 copies on handmade paper. 63 pages. "The first duty of any translator must, of course, be to the original, but when he is faced with poems by an author like Rimbaud whose "untranslatability" has long been recognized by poets and critics alike, he is presented with the alternative of providing a literal rendering or of communicating poetry as poems to be read in their own right as English poems. Mr. Ben Belitt has accordingly undertaken the interesting task of offering his readers four of Rimbaud's best-known poems in their original text, facing them with literal transcriptions backed up with informative notes that make these renderings "documents" rather than poetic translations, and in a separate section providing his own versions as poems "translated not intact but as the character of the language has demanded their eventuation in English". Book - Near Fine - in orange boards with gilt lettering, roughcut page edges - slight fading to the boards and slight bumping to the extreme ends of the spine. Contents, Near Fine - faint spotting to the front and rear free endpaper. Dust Jacket - Very Good - some browning and slight grubbiness. Shipped Weight: 750gms-1kgm.

	BELL G K A [EDITED BY] Golden Book of Ballads Routledge, U.K.. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. From The Golden Anthologies Series. Undated as is the British Library copy but appears to be early 1900's. 288 pages, size 6.25 inches tall by 4 inches, with an index of ballads and first lines.' The following selection is meant to explain itself. Almost all the poems printed are ballads in the correct technical sense of 'stories told in song,' the two or three exceptions, such as The Lyke- Wake Dirge, or Waly Waly (given because of their shortness), being excellent examples of the same class of poetry, though technically just not ballads. In the present anthology, unlike others of the series, the reader will look in vain for an Index of Authors. Part of the fascination of the ballads is their lack of ' authority,' their impersonality. No one 'wrote' them, no one put his name to them. They grew, spontaneously and, sometimes one might think, almost at random. In the best way they are popular; the people, if not their author (and into the troubled seas of controversy we do not wish to enter), was their sponsor, and in some sense, broad or narrow, their creator. As such impersonal, unconscious, yet singularly beautiful poems, quite apart from debates and theories about them, every reader can appreciate and enjoy them. Efforts have been made to give an accurate and scholarly text, though it should be noticed that, for the convenience of the reader and to avoid distracting his attention by interruptions in the verses, the square brackets with which some editors enclose the single letters occasionally, or the single lines very rarely, added on the best authority, are omitted. Further, the selection of one version from many others has been, and had to be, a matter of taste, the oldest or the longest version being by no means as a matter of course the best; but the editor hopes that his choice will, on the whole, commend itself as wise and agreeable. The editor would like to express his deep sense of obligation to Professor Child's great Collection of Ballads, which has been his constant help, and the hope that this anthology, necessarily small, will send on many to that magnificent treasure house '. Book - in Good red boards with some marking and some wearing, the lettering to the spine has faded away. Contents, slight glimpse of the webbing at the front hinge but still nice and tight, light spotting to the endpapers, title pages and last couple of pages of the index, previous owner's inscription, otherwise clean and tightly bound.

'More than any other poet of his time. Professor Andrade has gone his own way, disregarding the shifts of poetic fashion and writing to please himself and a few friends-who may now become many. This book contains the work of a lifetime which has been largely given to other activities but has not been without leisure to write verse in the strictest and hardest tradition of craftsmanship. His affinities are with the Elizabethans and the Jacobeans, that is to say, with an age when long hours in the service of the exact sciences did not exclude devotion to the Muses. The best of the Elizabethans could not have written A Rhapsody on Light, but if he had survived to know what now we know about the physical universe this is perhaps what he would write '.

	BELITT BEN Four Poems By Rimbaud : The Problem of Translation Sylvan Press, U.K. 1948. First Edition, Hard Cover. Near Fine /Very Good ++/Very Good. One of the 1,000 copies on handmade paper. 63 pages. "The first duty of any translator must, of course, be to the original, but when he is faced with poems by an author like Rimbaud whose "untranslatability" has long been recognized by poets and critics alike, he is presented with the alternative of providing a literal rendering or of communicating poetry as poems to be read in their own right as English poems. Mr. Ben Belitt has accordingly undertaken the interesting task of offering his readers four of Rimbaud's best-known poems in their original text, facing them with literal transcriptions backed up with informative notes that make these renderings "documents" rather than poetic translations, and in a separate section providing his own versions as poems "translated not intact but as the character of the language has demanded their eventuation in English". Book - Near Fine - in orange boards with gilt lettering, roughcut page edges - slight fading to the boards and slight bumping to the extreme ends of the spine. Contents, Near Fine - faint spotting to the front and rear free endpaper. Dust Jacket - Very Good - some browning and slight grubbiness. Shipped Weight: 750gms-1kgm.

	BELL G K A [EDITED BY] Golden Book of Ballads Routledge, U.K.. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. From The Golden Anthologies Series. Undated as is the British Library copy but appears to be early 1900's. 288 pages, size 6.25 inches tall by 4 inches, with an index of ballads and first lines.' The following selection is meant to explain itself. Almost all the poems printed are ballads in the correct technical sense of 'stories told in song,' the two or three exceptions, such as The Lyke- Wake Dirge, or Waly Waly (given because of their shortness), being excellent examples of the same class of poetry, though technically just not ballads. In the present anthology, unlike others of the series, the reader will look in vain for an Index of Authors. Part of the fascination of the ballads is their lack of ' authority,' their impersonality. No one 'wrote' them, no one put his name to them. They grew, spontaneously and, sometimes one might think, almost at random. In the best way they are popular; the people, if not their author (and into the troubled seas of controversy we do not wish to enter), was their sponsor, and in some sense, broad or narrow, their creator. As such impersonal, unconscious, yet singularly beautiful poems, quite apart from debates and theories about them, every reader can appreciate and enjoy them. Efforts have been made to give an accurate and scholarly text, though it should be noticed that, for the convenience of the reader and to avoid distracting his attention by interruptions in the verses, the square brackets with which some editors enclose the single letters occasionally, or the single lines very rarely, added on the best authority, are omitted. Further, the selection of one version from many others has been, and had to be, a matter of taste, the oldest or the longest version being by no means as a matter of course the best; but the editor hopes that his choice will, on the whole, commend itself as wise and agreeable. The editor would like to express his deep sense of obligation to Professor Child's great Collection of Ballads, which has been his constant help, and the hope that this anthology, necessarily small, will send on many to that magnificent treasure house '. Book - in Good red boards with some marking and some wearing, the lettering to the spine has faded away. Contents, slight glimpse of the webbing at the front hinge but still nice and tight, light spotting to the endpapers, title pages and last couple of pages of the index, previous owner's inscription, otherwise clean and tightly bound.
