hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Second Edition. Publication: London, Printed by W. Bulmer and Co. at the Shakspeare Printing Office, 1802 Formatting: 8vo, pp. xxiv, 105, [1]. Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains tight and structurally sound, with secure joints and firm hinges. The half red calf leather exhibits minor shelf wear and light rubbing, predominantly to the extremities, raised bands, and corners, though the thematic gilt tooling to the spine remains notably bright and unoxidised. The cloth-covered boards are well-preserved with only faint signs of handling. The top edge gilt retains its lustre, while the remaining untrimmed edges show natural age-toning. Internally, the text block is pleasingly crisp; there is some scattered spotting and browning, most evident on the title page and preliminary leaves, but the internal pages are otherwise clean and free from intrusive marks or tears. Catalogue Note: This is the second Bulmer edition of Somervileâs celebrated sporting poem, following the quarto first edition of 1796. The work is notably enhanced by a title-page vignette and twelve superb woodcut engravings executed by Thomas Bewick, based on original designs by his younger brother, John Bewick. This edition stands as a handsome example of the fine typography produced at William Bulmerâs highly regarded Shakspeare Printing Office. The volume is bound in an attractive later half red calf over cloth boards, featuring a thematic, gilt-tooled spine adorned with a falcon and a hunting horn enclosing a hound's head. Copies of this 1802 octavo edition, particularly those in appealing fine bindings with sporting motifs, have become increasingly scarce on the open market and remain highly desirable among collectors of both Bewick's engravings and antiquarian sporting literature. First published in 1735, The Chase is an enduring masterpiece of 18th-century sporting literature. Written in Miltonic blank verse by the Warwickshire country gentleman William Somervile, the poem vividly captures the thrill, tradition, and camaraderie of the hunt. Drawing on the authorâs own extensive experience, the work explores the breeding and training of hounds, the nuances of various hunting disciplines, and the breathtaking excitement of the chase itself. It remains a foundational text for enthusiasts of rural field sports and classic British poetry alike. Thomas Bewick and John Bewick (illustrator).…

8vo (210 x 130mm), frontispiece and pp. [ii], xl, 332; well rebound in modern green morocco, covers decorated in gilt, spine titled in gilt; marbled endpapers, gilt edges. First edition thus. This is a publication in which, as the publisher candidly confesses in the preface, 'Mr. Bewick has no concern, or interest whatever', because it consisted of blocks bought up by the Newcastle bookseller Emerson Charnley which he then used without Bewick's consent. Tattersfield tells the story of this edition at some length (II pp. 622-5), and distinguishes it from a later reprint by Henry Bohn (undated, but c. 1850) which does not have Hodgson's colophon at the very end of the volume. Although all the wood-engravings are by the Bewicks (except the frontispiece portrait of Thomas, which is by Charlton Nesbit), the contents are a mixture of blocks made for various publications.

According to his son's entry in the Oxford DNB, John Catnach 'was ahead of his time in publishing cheap attractively illustrated books, including children's books, but was a poor businessman. Working in Newcastle, he was imprisoned for debt, and in an attempt to mend his fortunes by moving to London with his family in 1808 he only sank deeper into poverty. In 1813 he died, broken in spirit, of an infected leg.' He was associated with Thomas Bewick, who was one of the creditors named at his first bankruptcy, and printed 'The Beauties of Natural History, selected from Buffon's History of Quadrupeds', 'Poems by Percival Stockdale' and 'Poetical Works of Robert Burns' all with Bewick woodcuts. BBTI has him trading in Berwick , 1790-1791; Alnwick, 1790-1808; Newcastle, 1808-1812; and London, 1812-1813.

305 x 238 mm. (12 x 9 5/8"). xx, 76 pp. HANDSOME CONTEMPORARY SCARLET STRAIGHT-GRAIN MOROCCO, ELABORATELY GILT, covers framed by gilt fillets and decorative rolls, smooth spine, panels diapered into compartments containing annular dots, gilt lettering, turn-ins with gilt bead roll, marbled endpapers, all edges gilt. Housed in a velveteen-lined brown cloth chemise in an excellent matching morocco-backed slipcase. Engraved title page vignette, five plates, and seven vignettes in the text by Thomas and John Bewick. A Large Paper Copy. Front pastedown with bookseller's ticket of E. Lloyd. Hugo 87; Ray "England," 50. See also Glaister, p. 75. Four small black (ink?) spots to boards, a hint of wear to corners, title and dedication leaf a bit foxed, occasional mild foxing elsewhere, but an excellent copy--the text clean and fresh with capacious margins, and the beautiful contemporary binding lustrous and virtually unworn. This extremely attractive poetic production is called by Hugo "a magnificent result of the efforts of the wood-engraver, type-founder, papermaker, and printer," and it is offered here in a richly decorative contemporary binding. The text is composed of two poems by Oliver Goldsmith ("The Traveller" and "The Deserted Village") and one poem by Thomas Parnell ("The Hermit"), accompanied by biographical sketches of each writer (that of Parnell written by Goldsmith). The charming illustrations are the work of the Bewick brothers. More than any contemporaneous artist or printer, Thomas Bewick (1753-1828) was responsible for a renewed interest in wood engraving, his virtuosity and prolific output in the medium raising its reputation in book production. And here, his artworks are accompanied by those of his brother John (1760-95). The large scenes, which gracefully depict the figures from the poems, are accompanied by the small head- and tailpiece vignettes for which Thomas Bewick is best remembered, the gently sentimental scenes of rural vistas and picturesque ruins perfectly offsetting the text. Our volume was beautifully printed on heavy Whatman paper by Bewick's friend, the celebrated William Bulmer, who, in Glaister's words, was "one of the best printers of the time, striving to raise the standard of English typography. To this end he perfected his own ink, used good paper and specially cut types." Ray praises the printing as well as the illustrations, writing that "thanks to Bulmer, this is by far the handsomest of contemporary volumes containing Bewick's work." Our copy, in pleasing contemporary morocco, is a particularly appealing example.…
