12mo, engraved frontispiece by W. Bond after E. Bird, and pp. [iii]-viii, 136; with two more plates (at pp. 18 and 36) also after E. Bird; bound without the half title in contemporary half roan, nicely polished and with gilt spine. Early ownership inscription on title page of [J.A?] Walcott. First and only edition. Elton (1778-1853), poet and theologian, was the heir to a baronetcy and a large Bristol fortune, and spent much of his energy on theological disputation (he moved in and out of Unitarianism) and poetry. This is one of his earliest works: the first part consists largely of poems imitated from ballads and featuring knights, forests and ghosts; the latter section is entirely translations from the elegies of Propertius.

Erstausgabe
Three volumes, 8vo, pp. xxxii, 416; viii, 403; viii, 391; with an extra engraved leaf at the front of volume I (see below); a very good set in contemporary polished black calf, spines lettered in gilt; marbled edges and endpapers. First edition. This is one of several works by Charles Abraham Elton (1778-1853), who inherited a large fortune from his Bristol merchant forebears, and eventually also a baronetcy. He spent much of his energies on theological disputation, but also wrote poetry and edited classical texts. The present work is a large selection of classical literature, all in translation by Elton himself. Provenance. This copy was given as a school prize to a young American scholar in 1834: it has an engraved leaf at the front of volume I, completed in MS, showing that it was given as a prize at the 'Classical and English School for General Education', located at 7 Beaver St, New York. The Master was the Rev. R. Townsend Huddart, who ran the school for many years, but later moved to San Francisco where he established the Union College at 2nd & Bryant Sts. Still more interesting, however, is the identity of the recipient: the book was given to Charles Astor Bristed, for what appears to have been a dazzling school career: according to the inscription, he showed superior merit in Greek, Latin, Spanish, History, Geography, Geometry, Arithmetic and English grammar. Bristed (1820-74)l, who was a grandson of John Jacob Astor, was only fourteen in 1834, but he went on to Yale where he graduated in 1839, and then to Trinity College, Cambridge (1840-45), where he likewise won prizes. He had a distinguished career as a scholar and critic, writing under the pen-name Carl Benson, and was a trustee of the Astor Library, which famously became (in 1895) one of the founding collections of the New York Public Library. Binding. Contemporary smooth black calf, the spines nicely decorated and lettered in gilt. It seems very probable that this is a New York binding, as the presentation leaf does not appear to have been tipped in.

Erstausgabe
12mo, pp. [iii]-vi, [ii], 119, [1] advertisements; apparently bound without the half title; contemporary polished calf (rebacked), gilt border on covers, yellow endpapers. First edition: a very good copy of this uncommon book, by Charles Abraham Elton (1778-1853), who inherited a large fortune from his Bristol merchant forebears, and eventually also a baronetcy. The title poem is an unusually personal account of the deaths of his two eldest sons in a swimming accident off Weston-super-Mare in 1819: rather appropriately, he is clearly much indebted to Milton's Lycidas, which commemorates the death of Edward King, who drowned in the same sea. There is a substantial section of prose notes at the end. Binding: contemporary calf, with the bookbinder's label of J. Rees, Bristol. BBTI indicates John Rees of Bristol (who also sold Genuine Patent Medicine) as being in business 1820-30; see also Ramsden p. 137. Jackson, Annals of English verse, p. 452.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
2pp, 4to. On first leaf of bifolium, the second leaf carrying the address to 'Lady Palgrave | Hampstead Green', with four postmarks, one dated 29 July 1837. In fair condition, on aged, worn and creased paper. Lady Elizabeth Palgrave was the wife of the archivist and historian Sir Francis Palgrave (1788-1861, né Cohen), and daughter of the banker, naturalist and bibliophile Dawson Turner (1775-1858) of Yarmouth. Their son Francis Turner Palgrave (1824-1897), remembered for his anthology 'The Golden Treasury', was a friend of Tennyson, and the writer of this letter was the mother of Tennyson's friend Arthur Henry Hallam (1811-1833), subject of perhaps his finest poem, 'In Memorian'. A contemporary pencil note states that the letter relates to Julia Hallam's son Henry Fitzmaurice Hallam (1824-1850), who was at Eton in 1837. Considering that as Henry Hallam's entry in the Oxford DNB states he and Julia 'had eleven children, but only four of their progeny reached adulthood and only one outlived Hallam himself', Julia Hallam writes with understandable anxiety; 'My dear Friends will rejoice with us that we found our darling Boy better thank God it has been a slight attack, proceeding apparently from accidental derangement indigestion - & we hope either to take him back with us tomorrow or if the medical man thinks this too soon, that he will go up in a chaise with another boy, whom he knows, to town on Monday - & there Boosey [i.e. a servant of the Elton family] will receive him & take him on.' She does not regret that they came to Eton, 'as the motion saved my poor nervous husband a day's misery - & was one both rewarded & cheered by finding the dear child better than we expected'. She concludes warmly: 'Pray write to me, my dear kind friend, wherever you go - & God bless & prosper you & your's the sight of you was very soothing to me.' In a postscript she expresses her wish that 'you could all be comforted with this good news at Sevenoaks!', adding that she hopes Lady Palgrave 'will make out my Scrawl', and ending the postscript: 'Your parasol was put into our carriage by mistake. I will endeavour to send it to the Chapter House'.

Manuskript / Papierantiquität
2pp., 4to. Bifolium. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Addressed by Elton, on reverse of second leaf, to 'John Taylor Esq.' (Taylor had assumed the editorship of the London Magazine on the death by duel of John Scott in February 1821.) Elton begins by informing Taylor that he has 'not been able yet to manage the Batrachomyomachia to my mind'. (Elton's translation of 'The Battle of the Frogs and Mice' would appear anonymously in the issue of October 1821, as the second of a series named 'Leisure Hours'.) He has instead 'sent some chit-chat to serve as an introduction'. ('On Homer's Battle of the Frogs and Mice' appeared in September 1821 as the first of the series.) He intends this as 'the first of occasional desultory papers of criticism, poetry, or the like: a specimen or two of the Battle of Frogs may form the second of the series'. Changing the subject, he now declines two books Taylor has sent him to review: he feels that too much has already been said about Madame de Stael, and he has 'already administered the ferula to her somewhat roughly'. He is 'equally diffident about Bonaparte's literary character', and asks whether 'Mr Hazlitt, or Leigh Hunt' are not 'the fittest men to undertake it'. He feels that to 'enter fully' into Taylor's 'plan relative to the Monthly Literature seems to require the interchange of sentiments in conversation', and that this is 'one of the disadvantages of a periodical contributor residing in the country'. He suspects that 'a London domicile' is 'necessary for the convenient and ready arrangement and execution of this sort of monthly summary'. He has been 'thinking of some regular supply of poetry, translated or original, independent of the incidental passages in the Leisure Hours', but has not yet 'ascertained either my plan or my powers'. In the first part of a postscript, he asks 'What is Knickerbocker? [Washington Irving] & is he worth reviewing?' This appears to be a reference to a footnote to the 'Epistle to Elia' by 'OLEN', published in the August 1821 issue of the London Magazine; the footnote also discusses two readings of that poem, thanks Taylor 'for the Magazine', and ends 'It is a pity the writer who so ably reviewed Crabbe, does not continue his "Series of Living Poets.".
