The first collected English translations of Aristotle's works from Orphic fragments by Neoplatonist scholar Thomas Tyler (1758-1835.) Provenance of famed bibliophile and collector Frances Mary Richardson Currer whose well-curated and respected library expanded to nearly 20,000 volumes. Bibliographer Thomas Frognall Dibdin remarked that she was, "the head of all female book collectors in Europe." Known for her philanthropic endeavors she donated a sum of 50 pounds to Patrick Bronte, father of Charlotte Bronte, when he was widowed in 1821. Currer also contributed an unknown amount to the Clergy Daughter's School that the Bronte sisters attended. Scholars postulate that Charlotte chose the non de plume of "Currer Bell" for her first published 1847 novel Jane Eyre in honor of Currer's philanthropy. A desirable set, even without Currer's bookplate, that seldom comes up for sale.
