On the front free endpaper is inscribed 'This book belonged to Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Being all to pieces, tied up by strong, it was rebound by Wells, the College Bookseller, Winchester. Her signature still remains - it was a pity, but had to be done. O. Moulton-Barrett, Southgate Hall, Winchester, 1874'. This book is listed in Kelley & Coley, number A1440. Browning's copy of this second edition. Octavo (7 3/4 x 4 7/8 inches; 197 x 124 mm). It is quite rare to find books from her personal library. Browning was a scholar of Ancient Greek studies and most likely used this present copy in her studies and as reference when writing her translation of Prometheus Bound, Essays on the Greek Christian Poets and the English Poets, as well as her series of poems retelling the story of Metamorphoses by Apuleius about the lovers Cupid and Psyche.

Top edge dyed brown others speckled red. Drab blue endpapers. Boards with some rubbing. Spine with some chipping and flaking. Title-page with a closed tear, neatly repaired. Leaf A2 with the fore-edge margin reinforced. Leaf A3 with bottom margin reinforced and top quarter of the page torn, suffering loss. Leaves occasionally trimmed close ot fore-edge, sometimes touching a few letters. A few smudges and a bit of toning. Still a very good copy with a great association. Provenance: From the family of Octavius Moulton-Barrett (1824-1910), youngest brother of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, thence by descent. [Together with] [BROWNING, Elizabeth Barrett]. Carte-de-visite of Elizabeth Browning. London: Elliott & Fry, [n.d. c. a. 1860]. Albumen photo print mounted on card. Card size : (4 x 2 ½ inches; 103 x 62 mm). About fine with tiny pinholes to each corner. "This carte-de-visite, featuring her trademark dark ringlets, is based on an engraving by Thomas Oldham Barlow, itself a reproduction of Macaire's full-length photograph, taken September 1858. The engraving formed the frontispiece to her epic 'verse-novel' of female poetic ambition, Aurora Leigh (1856). In the frontispiece, the poet stands next to a desk. In Elliot & Fry's vignette, Barrett Browning's role as a writer is deemphasised." (National Portrait Gallery, London) Barnes. Kelley & Coley A1440. HBS 69114. $6,500. Signed.

'Lempriere's Classical Dictionary is the first of a new kind of manual: the rendering of a body of knowledge not easily accessible in any other form into a system of alphabetical articles for the use of those who lack the time or the learning to seek out the sources; the 'Oxford Companion' series is a distinguished descendant'. (Printing & the Mind of Man). Lempriere (c.1765-1824) was born in Jersey and remained a schoolmaster most of his life. QUITE APART FROM ITS INTRINSIC UTILITY, HIS DICTIONARY ACHIEVED IMMORTALITY SINCE IT PROVED AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION TO KEATS. Extremely scarce. PMM 376.

Unknown Binding. Zustand: Good. A worn leather third edition dated M.DCC.XCVII some seperation at edge of main front board which is loose (repairable).

First edition. "Lemprière's dictionary is a remarkable achievement for an undergrauate of twenty-three. It has remained popular because it is so readable; the factual information it contains is more accurately recorded elsewhere but his concise accounts (particularly those of mythological characters), with their elegant phrasing and ironic wit, often recall th etome of his older contemporary, Edward Gibbon" (ODNB). "'Lemprières Classical Dictionary' is a new kind of manual: the rendering of a body of knowledge not easily accessible in any other form into a series of alphabetical articles for the use of those who lack the time or the learning to seek out the sources. Dictionaries, literary, geographical and biographical there had been, and encyclopaedias; but Lemprière's is the first specialist work designed as a substitute for, rather than as an aid to, learning. It was in fact an early 'cram-book', 'this book being undertaken more particularly for the use of schools', according to the preface. But what started as a popularizing medium has since become a valued and respected part of the literary scene." (PMM). Printing and the Mind of Man 236. Octavo (213 x 132 mm). Contemporary half calf and marble boards, flat spine with gilt roll division in compartments, compartments decorated in blind, direct lettered in gilt, blue sprinkled edges. Ownership inscription dated 1852 to front pastedown with ink note to front free endpaper, some very light spotting; a very good copy in an attractive binding.

First Dublin edition, following those of Reading, 1788 and London 1792); 8vo, unpaginated text in double column; contemporary full calf, gilt ruled spine, morocco label; boards rubbed and bumped with large patch stripped on upper board, joints starting, tidestains, the occasional marginal annotation; two 19th-century gift inscriptions, one from Reverend Silas McKeen of Bradford, VT; good. Printing and the Mind of Man 236 (citing the first edition of Reading, 1788): "Lempriere's Classical Dictionary is the first of a new kind of manual: the rendering of a body of knowledge not easily accessible in any other form into a series of alphabetical articles for the use of those who lack the time or the learning to seek out the sources. Dictionaries, literary, geographical, and biographical there had been, and encyclopaedias; but Lempriere's is the first specialist work designed as a substitute for, rather than as an aid to, learning. It was, in fact, an early 'cram-book' . The Oxford Companion series is one of its most distinguished descendants . Keats owned a copy, and it was the source of much of his knowledge of Latin and Greek mythology; one can sometimes even see the genius of his lines in Lempriere's humble but lively prose."
