Adolphus's letter, addressed to 'T. Cadell Esqr.', is 1p, 12mo, and on the recto of the first leaf of a bifolium. A nice artefact of publishing in Georgian London. The reference in the letter to Cadell's 'proposal' concerns his firm's terms for publishing a three-volume continuation of Adolphus's 'History of England from the Accession of George III to the Conclusion of Peace in 1783' (1802). Cadell's memorandum setting out his proposal fills the whole of the reverse of the first leaf, with one line extending to the recto of the second. The reverse of second leaf is laid down on part of leaf from album. In fair condition, on aged paper, with slight staining to second leaf from glue from mount. Folded twice. Adolphus, who from Cadell's memorandum opened negotiations for the work in a letter of 9 May, writes: 'I am sorry we parted so suddenly today. I should like to hear, at least, what you wished to propose. If you please, I will call on you some morning in my way from Westminster; or, if you are passing this way between 4 & 5 oClock, I shall be glad to see you.' Cadell's memorandum fills the whole of the reverse, beginning: 'N B: Called June 10 - and proposed as follows for the Copyright of each Volume.' He gives details of proposed payments for each of the three volumes, amounting to £500, 'to be paid 12 Mos. after publication'. After a reference to 'Copies to be presented to Mr A', Cadell continues: 'Could not ascertain at what time the first Portion (ending with the Peace of Amiens) would be sufficiently prepared for the Printing to begin.' Beneath this Cadell notes that the negotiations were not successful: 'N B: This proposal was not acceded to, and all further conference upon the subject ceased'. Between 1840 and his death in 1845 Adolphus published seven of the eight volumes of a new edition of his history, with the title amended to state that it spanned the period 'from the Accession to the Decease of King George the Third'.…

Czech proverbs in your pocket --- Two very rare Bohemian collections of proverbs with an overview and analysis of Czech comedies and verses. With an exception of one incomplete copy of Adagia Bohemica from the Austrian National Library, we could locate no copies of either work outside the Czech Republic; no copies of Moralia Catonis at auctions, and just one of Adagia Bohemica (sold in 1992). A fine copy, from the consecutive collections of a Flemish nobleman, a Scottish writer and politician, a Russian-born American first-class spy, and a Hollywood star. In 1582, Jakub Srnec of Varvaov (1520-86) published "the first collection of Czech proverbs" Dicteria seu proverbia Bohemica (Vaculinova, our translation here and elsewhere). Inspired by Erasmus' Adagiorum chiliades, Srnec originally compiled this work as a teaching aid for his private school; it included quotes from ancient classics, the Bible, medieval anonymous proverbs, and early modern authors. Its primary aim was to demonstrate that Czech proverbs could "rival not only those in Latin and Greek but also those in other modern languages", which had already been extensively published. "Unlike some Lutheran educational collections of proverbs, Srnec's work sought not only to enlighten but also to entertain, making learning more enjoyable for students" (Vaculínová). Dicteria was reissued without significant changes in 1599. With vernacular explanations and expanded with 100 new proverbs "[Srnec's] excellent book was republished by Frantiek Ond ej Horný, an educator in the noble house of Thun" (Hanus) and Horny's P ísloví eská, Aneb Adagia Bohemica is therefore listed in some bibliographies as the third edition of Srnec's collection (Babor). Its changes however are so substantial that it can be considered a separate work. Little is known about Horný, its compiler, (also Franciscus Andreas Horny, active in the late 17th to early 18th century), and he does not appear to have published any other work. Vaculínová describes the book as an "adaptation of Dicteria", in which Horný rearranged the collection and "added about 100 new [proverbs]" (Hanus). The new title also suggests a broader scope: the proverbs from the collection "even today flourish in daily use among the highest and lowest, magnates and commoners, throughout Bohemia, Moravia, and partly also through Silesia, Lusatia, and Hungary." Horný's edition can be regarded as a Czech compendium of proverbs with brief Latin references, whereas the two earlier editions were primarily collections of Latin proverbs with Latin explanations and brief Czech equivalents. In Horný's edition, all explanations are in Czech. "The Latin quotations [. are] supplemented in some places by quotations from 'benign' authors such as Caesar. The names of early modern humanists, mostly non-Catholics [as well as German], cited by Srnec are, of course, absent" (Vaculínová). Horný arranged the proverbs alphabetically and numbered them, totalling 584 proverbs along with 27 additional ones, followed by a few pages of extra expressions. The edition is adorned with an engraved coat of arms of the House of Thun. Ancient wisdom for the modern Czech - with Czech theatrical and poetical theory and poetry Bound here with Horny's P ísloví eská, Moralia Catonis is a collection of proverbial wisdom and moral teachings attributed to an unknown author, identified in Czech bibliographies as Dionysius Cato (active in the 3rd or 4th century). Offering lessons on moral and practical life alongside exercises in grammar and poetics, the text was widely popular across medieval Europe and served as a Latin textbook under the title Catonis Disticha. Geoffrey Chaucer references the work in The Canterbury Tales when describing an uncivilised character: "He knew nat Catoun, for his wit was rude." A Czech translation of this Latin text was made in the 1620s by "the father of modern education", John Amos Comenius (also Jan Amos Komenský, 1592-1670), and published in Amsterdam.…
