Halliwell, James Orchard (Ed.)

A Collection of Letters Illustrative of the Progress of Science in England from the Reign of Queen Elizabeth to that of Charles the Second

Historical Society of Science 1841 xix, 124, [2], 9, . . HB. 8vo, orig. cloth, blind-stamped acanthus scroll frame to boards, with central gilt symbol to front board, corners lightly bumped. Bookplate of Yatton Court, Herefordshire. From the library of K.G.V. Smith (1929-2017), British dipterist at the Natural History Museum, London, and book collector. Enclosed is a post card from Paul Latcham, scholar and collector of bookplates and former editor of the Bookplate Journal. He suggests that the bookplate is probably that of J.G. Rodney Ward (resident at Yatton Court from the late 1860s to 1880s). An attached pencil note to Ken Smith in a different hand states that Latcham was pleased to see a previously unknown County bookplate [Herefordshire].. First edition. Includes 83 letters by, among others, Thomas Digges, Tycho Brache, John Dee, Thomas Lydyat, Charles Cavendish, John Pell. 'The contents of the present volume are so very miscellaneous, that it would be a difficult task to give a satisfactory analysis of them within the limits of a few pages. Perhaps it may be sufficient to state that the Editor has endevoured to form such a collection of early letters on scientific subjects as would be likely to assist any future author of a critical history of English science...' - Preface. The central design to the front board of this book is the 'Monas Hieroglyphica', an esoteric symbol invented and designed by John Dee, the Court Astrologer to Elizabeth I; it is also the title of the 1564 book in which Dee expounds the meaning of his symbol. One of the letters included in this published collection is from John Dee. James Orchard Halliwell (1820-1889) was an antiquarian, literary scholar and collector of English nursery rhymes. He published many books including 'Nursery Rhymes of England' (1842) and the 'Life of Shakespeare' (1848). He was accused of stealing manuscripts from Trinity College Cambridge, and eloped with, and married, the daughter of the the famous bibliomaniac, Sir Thomas Phillipps..

The Early History Of Freemasonry In England. By James Orchard Halliwell, Esq., F.R.S. Second Edition.

London: John Russell Smith, 4, Old Compton Street, Soho Square. M.DCCC.XLIV. [ 1844 ]. 0. A very good tight binding. 12mo. 8" x 5". Original dark brown cloth covered boards, but preserving the original printed label to the front board. Inner hinges carefully strengthened. Original yellow endpapers, lightly soiled. Frontispiece: "Fac-simile of the first page of an ancient poem on Masonry.." Followed by printed title. Text ends with a four page Glossary of ancient English words. Bound with a 24 pages of adverts for: "Valuable and Interesting Books Published Or Sold By John Russell Smith.." . Clean text throughout, just the odd page chip or corner crease. A very good copy of this scarce publication. ** "James Orchard Halliwell (1820-1889), published over 600 books during his life, ranging from 16-page monographs, many of which first appeared as magazine articles, to a 14-volume commentary on Shakespeare. Born on June 21, 1820, Halliwell was the youngest of 4 children of a successful leathercraftsman and merchant. One of his older brothers became a lawyer, a profession James was to have frequent dealings with over the years. The young Halliwell was noted as a mathematical prodigy. He also had a special interest in collecting medieval manuscripts, at that time still plentiful and cheap at ordinary booksellers. He combined these two traits in his writing, and at 16 was producing a column of brief biographies of scientists (mainly mathematicians) for his school paper. These included such greats as Isaac Newton, Roger Bacon, René Descartes, and Archimedes; and also Charles Butler, a notable mathematician, but also Halliwell's mentor before he went on to the University. And also Euclid of Alexandria, a biography that probably influenced his brief appearance in Masonic lore.." - see Masonic Poets *** " [The Halliwell Poem] ..It was first published in 1840 by Mr James Orchard Halliwell, a non-Mason, under the title “A Poem on the Constitutions of Masonry”. Mr Halliwell used the only known existing manuscript copy of the original that was kept in the King’s Library of the British Museum; before that it belonged to a well-known collector of the seventeenth century, Charles Theyer. Most experts believe that this manuscript originates from between 1425 and 1450, and Mr Halliwell says that it was copied in 1390. A few other people even believe that it is a transcript of the Book of Constitutions adopted by the General Assembly held in York in 926, but this seems very unlikely. The manuscript is in rhythmic verses, has 794 lines, and the language is very archaic even in relation to other manuscripts of this period.." - see An Outsider’s View of Freemasonry by Giles C. H.
