Edinburgh: Printed for Adam Black, 1814. With Two Superb Fore-Edge Paintings by the "Dover Painter" FORE-EDGE PAINTING. [The "DOVER PAINTER"], artist. PALEY, William. The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy. The Twenty-First Edition. Edinburgh: Printed for Adam Black, 1814. With two superb fore-edge paintings executed ca. 1930 by the "Dover Painter" depicting views of "Edinburgh Castle from Grass Market" and "St. Giles Cripplegate, Fore St." The distinctive treatment of the clouds and pointillistic brush strokes for detail are hallmarks of the style of the extremely skillful artist known as the "Dover Painter," the name given by Jeff Weber to the artist who produced very high quality painted fore-edges in the 1920s and 1930s. Two octavo volumes (8 3/8 x 5 1/4 inches; 213 x 133 mm.). [i-v], vi-xxviii, [1]-374; [viii], [1]-452 pp. Bound ca. 1814 in full dark blue straight-grain morocco, covers decoratively paneled in gilt and blind, spines with four 'double' raised bands, decoratively tooled and lettered in gilt in compartments, gilt board edges and turn-ins, light brown end-papers, all edges gilt. Near fine. With the circular blind-stamp of "The Library of Saint Mary-Of-The-Woods College" [Indiana] on the title-page of volume one. Two early family ink inscriptions on front blank dated January 6th, 1844 and November 3rd, 1882. Old booksellers description affixed to front blank. The "Dover Painter" an unknown English artist - probably worked on commission exclusively ca. 1920-1930 for Marks & Co, the London booksellers. By 1928 Dawson's Book Shop in Los Angeles, headed by Ernest Dawson, began a relationship with Marks & Co. ["a reciprocal agency agreement"] that included sending crates of books to America via the Panama Canal. Several hundred fore-edges came to Dawson's. Sesslers' in Philadelphia bought and sold examples of the "Dover" painter's work, as fore-edges by this and other artists turned up in the B. George Ulizio collection at Kent State University. Other fore-edge paintings were imported via J.W. Robinson Company [department stores], Los Angeles. The Robinson Co. books came with added new Sangorski & Sutcliffe slipcases made especially for them and sometimes included a typed identifying slip mounted on the end-leaves-more fore-edges by the "Dover Painter" can be seen at the Huntington Library- and Stanford University." A similar example is cited by Jeff Weber in his Annotated Dictionary of Fore-Edge Painting- "Paley, William. The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy. London: Printed for J. Faulder, 1810, two volumes, 8vo, full contemporary red straight-grain morocco, with an ornamental gilt border on sides, richly gilt backs, gilt edges. In a cloth slip case. Fore-edges: [1] view of New York in 1753; [2] Philadelphia in 1753. Boston Public Library [LF109.D9 1814x]". (Weber. pp. 98-102). William Paley (1743-1805) was an English clergyman, Christian apologist, philosopher, and utilitarian. He is best known for his natural theology exposition of the teleological argument for the existence of God in his work Natural Theology or Evidences of the Existence and Attributes of the Deity, which made use of the watchmaker analogy. "In 1782, Edmund Law - the Bishop of Carlisle, otherwise the mildest of men, was most particular that Paley should add a book on political philosophy to the moral philosophy, which Paley was reluctant to write. The book was published in 1785 under the title of The Principles of Moral and Political Philosophy, and was made a part of the examinations at the University of Cambridge the next year. It passed through fifteen editions in the author's lifetime. Paley strenuously supported the abolition of the slave trade, and his attack on slavery in the book was instrumental in drawing greater public attention to the practice. In 1789, a speech he gave on the subject in Carlisle was published. .
