CHARLETON (Walter):

Matrona Ephesia. Sive Lusus Serius de Amore, à Gualt. Charletono, M.D. ante decennium Anglicè conscriptus, Et nunc demum Latinitate donatus à Barth. Harrisio, A.M [sic] ejusdémq[ue] impensis excusus.

Londini, Anno Domini, 1665. 12mo, 133 x 80 mms., pp. [xii], 82, engraved frontispiece, later sheepskin, probably early 19th century, borders in blind on cover, compartments on spine in blind, green morocco label; small piece missing from upper corner of A3 just affecting one letter, joints slightly cracked, corners a little worn but a good copy. Walter Charleton (1620–1707) possibly studied under John Wilkins (1614–1672), at Magdalen Hall, Oxford. He studied medicine and upon attaining his degree was, in 1643, appointed physician-in-ordinary to Charles I. He began publishing works on medicine and religion some time after that and in 1659 ventured into prose romance with The Ephesian Matron: Based on the Tale in the "Satyricon" of Petronius. "Charleton's version of this famous and often retold tale is an attack on the fashionable cult of Platonic love of his day, in which he insists that physical love and lust are both manifestations of 'an appetite to procreation'. Charleton sees his lascivious heroine as an Epicurean who lives by 'the simple dictates of mother-Nature'" (ODNB). This Latin translation is by Bartholomew Harris. ESTC notes two different states of the title-page: as above, R15293 (BL, Cambridge, Trinity Cambridge, Bodleian, Oxford: Exeter and Queens, National Trust; Folger, Harvard, Clark, Illinois. The imprint for the other state is "Londini: Impensis Authoris, 1665," R215215 (BL, Cambridge, Cambridge: Magdalen and Trinity, Oxford Worcester, Royal College of Physicians; Huntington, Stanford, Illinois, Yale; Bibliotheque Nationale.

Onomasticon zoicon, plerorumque animalium differentias & nomina propria pluribus linguis exponens. Cui accedunt mantissa anatomica; et quaedam de variis fossilium generibus.

London, Jacobus Allestry, 1668. Small 4to (19.9 x 14.9 cm). Title page, 363 pp. [xx, 309, xxxiv]; eight large, engraved plates (of which six folded); four text illustrations (one page-sized). Contemporary full calf. Spine with four raised bands; compartments with gilt floral vignettes and gilt title. All edges red. = Rare first edition of an early work on natural history classification of 'Nominal animals', written by the English natural philosopher and president of the Royal College of Physicians in London, Walter Charleton (1619-1707). It is divided into three parts. The first, large, section deals with a classification of birds. Hence it is regarded as "...the first work by an English author to add illustrations to a list of birds" (Norman). It includes the bird names in English, Latin, and Greek. The second part is a treatise on comparative anatomy of fish. The third part is a classification of fossils, minerals and precious stones. Most plates represent birds (one shows a ray). A second and third edition were published in 1669 and 1671. Boards and spine rubbed; several plates torn at the adhesion point and rather crudely repaired; stamp clumsily removed from the title page, with some small paper loss, otherwise a good, clean copy. Agassiz II, pp. 57-58; Cat. BM(NH) p. 337; Dean III, p. 228; Freeman, British Natural History Books 1495-1900. A Handlist, 686; Garrison-Morton, 292; Norman II, 362 (p. 88).
