See his entry in the Oxford DNB. D'Orsey was Professor of Elocution at University College, London. 4pp, 12mo. Bifolium. On aged, brittle paper, with slight wear and discoloration, a few closed tears along folds and traces of stub adhering to second leaf, but with entire text clear and intact. A long untidy letter, with writing up the margin on outer two pages. Addressed to 'The Revd. A J D'Orsey' and signed 'Tom Taylor'. The topic is an outbreak of cholera at Madeira, about which D'Orsey has clearly launched an appeal. (He may well be the author of the letter on the subject quoted from in The Medical Times, 4 October 1856.) Begins: 'Dear Sir / I remember you perfectly as my class fellow at Glasgow. [Taylor had spent two sessions there before going up to Cambridge.] I am very sorry that your letter finds me making holiday in the country, instead of at my office, the Genl Bd of Health in London'. (Taylor was appointed Assistant Secretary to the Board of Health in 1850, and was Secretary from 1854 to the Board's abolition in 1858.) Had he been at his post he would have been 'in the very centre of such information as you require'. All he can do is 'write by this post to Mr Session, our Medical Officer, sending him your [?] & letter & requesting him to transmit to you sets of all the Papers in the Office likely to be of practical service to you in your efforts to invetigate for the present, a guard for the future against, the terrible visitation which has befallen Madeira.' If Taylor can in any way 'direct public attention to the sad case of that island it will give me satisfaction to do so, but I shd. think the facts, imperfectly known as they are, wd. speak trumpet-tongued.' 'English benevolence', he feels, 'is seldom backward to relieve distant & strange distress' (the recent Potato Famine in Ireland is presumably too close to home), and 'Madeira is both far off enough & startling enough to rouse the sensibilities of this country.' He is 'far off from even a country town' (he cannot even 'procure a Post Office order' to send a 'mite' towards D'Orsey's appeal), but is sure that Session will be 'prompt' and the books will reach D'Orsey in time. In a postscript he gives his 'address for the next week'.…

hardcover. Zustand: Good. Publication: London, Nuttall, Fisher, and Dixon, n.d. [c. 1800â"1815] Formatting: 8vo, pagination unverified, untrimmed text block. Condition Report: Good. The volume has been sensibly but plainly rebound in grey-blue paper over boards, presenting a tight, secure structure devoid of external embellishment. The text block remains entirely untrimmed, preserving its original rough-cut edges which display expected age-toning and moderate dust-soiling. Internally, the binding holds firm, though the preliminary leaves, including the frontispiece and title page, exhibit significant damp staining and prominent tide marks primarily localised to the lower gutter and margins. Intermittent foxing and scattered spotting are present throughout the text block, commensurate with the paper stock and provincial production of this era, yet the structural integrity remains uncompromised and the text is fully legible. Catalogue Note: This "Stereotype Edition" compiles Edward Youngâs profoundly influential blank-verse meditation alongside Robert Blairâs The Grave and supplementary verses, effectively gathering the period's most popular "Graveyard School" poetry into a single, accessible volume. The text is accompanied by an engraved frontispiece portrait of Young and several internal engraved plates executed by notable period craftsmen (including Neagle, Cooke, and J. Palmer), representing a solid example of nineteenth-century provincial illustration. The copy bears modest but interesting provenance markers, including early ownership signatures ("J. Burman" and what appears to be "John Forster") on the preliminary leaves. Having been rebound functionally in plain paper boards, the book stands as an authentic, unsophisticated survival of a heavily read printing. Such stereotyped editions, while historically printed in enormous numbers to satisfy the sweeping middle-class appetite for pietistic literature, are surprisingly scarce on the open market today in any condition, as they were overwhelmingly read to pieces rather than preserved in formal libraries. A quintessential cornerstone of the eighteenth-century "Graveyard School" of poetry, Edward Young's Night Thoughts was a spectacular literary success that defined the mood of Christian melancholia for generations. Written in profound grief following a succession of personal losses, this expansive blank-verse epic explores the transient nature of life, the inevitability of death, and the hope of immortality. This compilation also features Robert Blair's similarly influential poem The Grave, alongside other contemporary elegiac works, offering a comprehensive immersion into the era's fascination with mortality, mourning, and spiritual redemption.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Lot of 36 titles from the Arno / New York Times Series The American Negro, His History and his literature. All told, the volumes are clean and well kept. From the home of a well regarded historian of Black studies. Also was a tobacco smoker, and that combined with age has led to occasional toning / darkening of the tan cloth part of these hardcover volumes - though without any consistency, it is present to some degree on nearly all. Faint odor as well, especially for those of sensitive nose, though to this seller it is not egregious. Besides that, the condition is pretty solid on all. Binding are all quite strong, sturdy, tight , square. No markings were found in any of the books, and no other damage to interiors at all. One volume has some fraying to the edge of the cloth of the front, and some of the volumes have lesser or greater degrees of rubbing, scuffing, dustsoiling, but all told clean beyond the toning. Uncommon to find so many in one place. Shipping will be extra ! pickup available in NYC.
