BOSWELL, James [Geoffrey Scott, editor]

The Journal of James Boswell 1772-1774 / His Jaunt to London, Spring, 1772 [Etc. , Etc. ]

[Privately printed], 1930. Hardcover. pp. vii, 274.Larger 4to,,,The first publication of Boswell's private papers, which had, since Boswell's death in 1785, lain locked in a cabinet sequestered in the estate of Lord Talbot de Malahide, until the copyright to them was acquired by Lieut. Col. Isham, 'as a result of which this long-shut gateway into the eighteenth century was finally unlocked'. Prepared for the press by Geoffrey Scott, whose 'duty has here been confined (except in Vol. VI) to establish the text and chronology of the documents; to classify them with a view to the special character of this edition; and to provide some brief explanatory prefaces.' The printer was William Edwin Rudge. After printing, the type was distributed. This is volume 9 of an eighteen volume set, and contains 'A Letter from Oliver Goldsmith concerning 'She Stoops to Conquer', 1773 and The Story of his efforts in behalf of his Client John Reid Hanged for Sheep-stealing, 21 September 1774.' The book is bound in red paper over boards, with a paper spine label. The spine is a trifle sunned, with hand-painted library accession numbers at the foot. There are no other library markings. There are a few light scuffs to the boards, and the corners are a trifle worn and bumped. The contents are pristine. Overall, in very good condition. (We have other individual volumes available.). The book designed by Bruce Rogers and printed in a limited edition of 570 copies, of which this is copy number 506. Ill.: handwriting facsimiles.

ANDERSON GALLERIES [John E. Burton]

The Fine Library of John E. Burton of Milwaukee, Wis. / Part I Lincolniana/ Part V CIVIL War Material/ Part IV . .

New York City, Anderson Galleries, 1916. first edition. Hardcover.8vo,,Bound in brown buckram with leather spine label,John E. Burton was born in New Hartford, NY, in 1847. He began his career as a teacher, but soon established and edited a newspaper, and after serving for many years as the general manager of one of New York's large life insurance companies, he turned his attention to the mining industry and the development of the Goebie and Penokee Panges. He founded the village of Hurley, Wisconsin, erecting stores, residences, foundries and hotels. He was a collector since boyhood, and although his library contained many fine books, it was as a collector of Lincoln material that he was best known. Burton died in 1930. The Part I auction on Lincolniana was held October 25 to 29, 1915, and consisted of 1,311 lots over 138 pages, including the only known copy of the pamphlet entitled 'The Reasons against the Renomination of Abraham Lincoln', Lincoln's last order for a pardon, and one of 50 copies of the Emancipation proclamation (signed by both Lincoln and Seward). Tipped-in at the end of this catalogue is an actual unused copy of the bid sheet. The Part V catalogue describes 859 lots (83 pages) sold at auction March 6 and 7, 1916. Both of these catalogues also contain unused bid sheets. Some of the pages are lightly creased but there are no marginal markings. The binding is tight and in excellent condition. A very scarce item, WorldCat noting only a few holdings of the original parts I and VI catalogues;none of the part V catalogue. .
