Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Hardcover. A presention copy from the author, with inscription to the top of the title page in Volume II: "H. Hole Esq. with the author's best regards." Thomas Roscoe (1791 - 1871) was an English translator and also a novelist who enjoyed studying the work by other European novelists. In the preface he writes: "In the following series of national novels, connected with the secondary class of prose fiction so abounding in Spanish literature, it has been the humble endeavour of the translator, upon a similar plan with the Italian and the German specimens, to convey to the English reader some idea of its rise and progress, as well as of the peculiar manners, customs, modes of thinking at different periods, as exhibited in this form of composition." Includes Don Juan Manuel, Mendoza, Mateo Aleman, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Matias de los Reyes, Don Christoval Lozano, Luis Veliz de Guavara, Isidro de Robles, Alonzo del Castillo Salorzano, Don Francisco de Quevedo Villegas, Doctor don Juan Perez de Montalvan, Antionio de Eslava, and Donna Maria de Zayas I Soto Mayor.

Hardcover. Illustrations by J.R. Herbert. 4to. Original brown heavily blind-embossed cloth with large gilt devise and modern brown cloth tape spine. iv, 52pp. All edges gilt. Engraved title page, 9 full-page heavy stock engraved plates. Good plus. Bindings a tad edgeworn; some foxing and age toning to preliminary leaves; inner hinges bear old but neat clean brown cloth tape reinforcement, thus tight. Nice first edition despite rather homespun spine of this slim gathering of steel engravings with accompanying text. Intriguing provenance: Laid in is a Typed Letter Signed from the great-great-granddaughter of Ulysses S. Grant, Carolyn Cartee (1947-2016): 1p, 5½" X 8", Encinitas, CA, 10 August 2015. Fine. Cartee spells out her connection to the Union general and U.S. president and records that "This copy of J.R. Herbert's Legends of Venice. came from the library of my grandmother" -- Nellie Grant Cronan (1881-1972), daughter of President Grant's youngest son Jesse R. Grant (1858-1934). Boldly signed at the close. Interestingly, when President and Mrs. Grant took their famous world tour after leaving the White House, they brought with them their son Jesse -- and in 1878 they visited Venice. There's no evidence whatsoever that this copy of "Legends of Venice" was a souvenir they picked up while there, mind you -- but there's no proof they DIDN'T buy it there or had it presented to them and a bookseller can fantasize, can't he?! Just idle, unanswerable speculation.…

One of his daughters has 'written down Stories one or two of which have already appeared, and she would be very happy to avail herself of an opportunity of writing something' for the annual, so he asks him to 'ascertain whether your Father would like to insert a short Nouvellette [sic] to the extent of 4 to 5 pages'. The subject is presumably Roscoe's daughter Jane Elizabeth St John (1829-1906) was generally known as Mrs. Horace Roscoe St John, author of 'Audubon the Naturalist' (1856), 'Englishwomen and the Age' (1860), a pamphlet on the condition of women, and two historical works, 'Masaniello of Naples' (1865) and 'The Court of Anna Carafa' (1872).…
