Twiss was born at Bath, Somerset, the son of Francis Twiss (1760–1827) and his wife Frances née Kemble (sister of Sarah Siddons née Kemble). He was a Shakespearian scholar. In his youth he wrote light articles for newspapers; he became a successful lawyer and was appointed a Queen's Counsel in 1827. In 1820 he was elected to Parliament, where, with some interruptions, he sat until 1841, holding the office of Under-Secretary of State for War and the Colonies in 1828–1830. In 1844 he was appointed vice-chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, a well-paid post which enabled him to enjoy his popularity in London society. For some years he wrote for The Times, in which he first compiled the parliamentary summary, and his daughter married first Francis Bacon (d. 1840) and then J. T. Delane, both of them editors of that paper. He was the author of The Public and Private Life of Lord Chancellor Eldon, and other volumes. He died suddenly in London on 4 May 1849, aged 62. He was survived by his son, Quintin Twiss." - See Wikipedia.

(Vernet, Horace)

"Welcome to Horace Vernet" in Harper's Weekly (March 21, 1857)

New York, Harper's Weekly. First Edition. 0 pp. Disbound. Volume 1, No. 12. Complete and original disbound issue in near fine condition with light wrinkling to spine, looks remarkably nearly new Most interesting is a lengthy article about the French artist Horace Vernet, "who has been invited to paint our national pictures in our national capitol." Includes a portrait of Vernet himself. Also of note, an article asks "Are We As Great A Country As We Think We Are?" The front-page story was inspired by a recent War Department report entitled "Explorations in the Dacota Country in the Year 1855, by Lieutenant G. K. Warren, Topographical Engineer of the Sioux Expedition." Basically, the article presents an unflattering but admittedly intriguing description of the Nebraska Territory, especially the "Bad Lands," where "'the scenery is silent, desolate, and depressing to the spirtis.' We have no idea of such land in this part of this world." Warren makes an interesting recommendation: "'the Territory is occupied by powerful tribes of roving savages, and is only adapted to a mode of life such as theirs, and it must long remain an Indian country.'" The article paints a dismal picture of the territory, one that certainly contradicts the still persistent image of the romantic West held around the world. Another interesting article, "Washington" (front page) describes the city of Washington as "full of the most violent and preposterous contradictions," in particular, power and intelligence (its "two deities") as well as ignorant, vulgar, and barbaric. But "the chief curse of Washington, its most detestable abomination, is that of office-seeking; and of this it is difficult to say where it is more pernicious to the giver or to the asker." Also discussed is the "unhealthy" physical environment of the low grounds on which most of it is built: "in fact the whole city should have been placed on the high ground back of the present city, and not on the low level of the Potomac." Also interesting is a full paragraph abouyt "Mr. Hawthorne Robbed" (p. 183), that is, Nathaniel Hawthorne while living in Liverpool. It also mentions Hawthorne's plans to travel in Europe before returning home. Also, rather negative review of Charles Kingsley's novel, "Two Years Ago," recently published in America, although at the end the reviewer admits he could not put the book down, once he started reading it. Also, "A Ranger's Life in Nicaragua: A Personal Narrative" (pp. 188-189) and a travel article, "A Cruise to the Somers Islands" with ten illustrations of its people, places and customs, including one of a girl's legs with one leg suffering from elephantiasis.

[Q. HORATII FLACCI] / HORACE [Quintus Horatius Flacccus].al

Carmina ab omni obscoenitate expurgata.

Albiae [Albi], apud Joan. Bap. {Jean-Baptiste] Baurens, s.d. [circa 1730]. Un vol. au format gd in-32 (111 x 82 mm) de 291 pp. Reliure de l'époque de demi-vélin ivoire, plats jansénistes, dos muet, tranches mouchetées. Rare impression albigeoise par les soins de Jean-Baptiste Baurens. On a tour à tour salué dans les Odes, l'exploit métrique, l'équilibre dans une harmonieuse architecture qui se déploie selon des proportions numériques aussi complexes qu'impeccables, la circulation, les interconnexions, les réseaux, les correspondances, les combinaisons et les symétries diverses, dont l'ensemble constitue une immense et ultrasensible chambre de résonance. Quant à l'incroyable virtuosité verbale qui tire du choix et de la place de chaque mot le maximum d'énergie possible, elle impressionnait Friedrich Nietzsche au plus haut degré par ce qu'il appelait sa ' noblesse '. 'Jusqu'à présent aucun poète ne m'a procuré le même ravissement artistique que celui que j'ai éprouvé dès l'abord à la lecture d'une ode d'Horace. Dans certaines langues il n'est même pas possible de vouloir ce qui est réalisé ici. Tout le reste de la poésie devient, à côté de cela, quelque chose de populaire, - un simple bavardage de sentiments.. ' (Nietzsche, Le Crépuscule des idoles). Mais là où Horace se surpasse, c'est dans la maîtrise du contenu. En apparence pourtant, rien de plus hétéroclite que les Odes. Où semblent interférer de manière aléatoire la sphère privée et la sphère publique, les amours et la politique, le monde grec et le monde latin, la mythologie et l'actualité la plus brûlante, l'épicurisme poussé jusqu'au sybaritisme, ou encore, un stoïcisme aiguisé jusqu'à l'ascétisme. Angles élimés. Coiffe de tête arasée. La reliure présente en outre quelques altérations superficielles éparses. Cerne et claires rousseurs dans le corps d'ouvrage. Infime manque en marge de deux feuillets. Infime travail de ver en marge inférieure (avec tout au plus effleurement d'une lettre à la dernière ligne des derniers feuillets). Du reste, bonne condition.
