First edition in English of Catullus's complete poems, for which William Blake engraved the two frontispiece portraits of Catullus and Cornelius Nepos. The edition, which presents Latin and English texts in parallel with extensive notes, began the English commentary tradition on Catullus. The technique of stipple engraving employed by Blake for the two frontispieces was "unusual for him in book illustration" and resulted in "a pleasing softness quite different from the effect conveyed by the ordinary line engraving" (Ryskamp, p. 40). The Catullus engraving was reproduced in the 1894 edition of the Carmina by Richard Burton and Leonard Smithers, who identified Blake's illustration as the statue in the Council House of Verona. The anonymous editor John Nott (1751-1825) was a physician and classical scholar. This edition "sealed his reputation as a gifted classicist and poet" (ODNB). In the introduction, he makes no apologies for Catullus's frequent "indecencies", writing that "when an ancient classic is translated, and explained, the work may be considered as forming a link in the chain of history: history should not falsified. we must not in our translation suppress, or even too much gloss them over, through a fastidious regard to delicacy". Nott's commitment to the integrity of the original is uncommon for its day. A generation later, in 1821, George Lamb published a new translation in which Catullus's text is normalized to accommodate the contemporary moral conservatism. The publisher Joseph Johnson issued the works of political and Romantic radicals throughout the 1790s. "The publication of such writers, whose work is marked by heightened emotionalism, provided a fecund publication list for the emergence of Catullus in English" (Stead, p. 27).

Contemporary diamond calf with gilt rules and decoration, including to spine, with general light wear, the front cover of vol I rehinged; internally good, some offsetting and spotting to reverse of a few plates, occasional mild foxing to margins, but generally a good clean copy. § Second edition, revised and enlarged, very scarce colored. Stedman's account of the slave rebellion in Dutch Guiana, 1772-1777, with 40 hand-colored plates, 16 by William Blake. A best-seller in its day and translated many times, Stedman's narrative was an important resource for the abolitionist movement across Europe, even though Stedman himself was not straightforwardly anti-slavery. Stedman based the text on personal diaries he kept on his travels (now held by the University of Minnesota), albeit with his numerous accounts of sexual liaisons with free and enslaved women reduced and romaticised. Essick writes that "Stedman's narrative of the brutalities of slavery very probably influenced Blake's own anti-slavery position"; Blake's graphic illustrations of abused slaves, infused with human dignity, undoubtedly influenced the reading public and advanced the abolitionist's cause.
