Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. No Jacket. New and Revised Edition. A second printing of the revised edition, published in 1950 with further revision from the first revised edition of 1940. The book was originally published in 1911. This revised edition is notable in having a 35pp section of Prefatory Remarks on the translation by J. R. R. Tolkien. ***Please note that this example has been rebound by Trinity College (Cambridge) New Library, but is extremely clean internally, albeit with one torn page and two pages with a paper cut (see full description below) ***Very good in orange-red textured cloth-covered boards, with gilt titles to the spine and front board. The gilt is still very bright and clear. The boards are perfectly clean and undamaged, with just a library code shelf mark at the bottom of the spine. No bumps or tears to the cloth. Page block edges very clean without foxing. Just a very slight reading lean to the binding. Spine tight. Internally also very good, with just a few library marks as follows: barcode on the front pastedown, withdrawn stamp and code plus highlighter mark to the front free endpaper, and a light circular stamp to the last printed page (p.154). No dustwrapper. A previous owner has also added some light pencil notes to the outer margin of p.78 (please see scans) ***Please also note that there is some tearing to the thin paper of p.28, and two straight paper cuts affecting pp.57-60 (please see scans) ***194 pages including an extensive section of Notes on Beowulf at the back of the book. 187mm x 125mm. ***'"Beowulf" Old English: Bēowulf [ˈbeːowuɫf]) is an Old English epic poem in the tradition of Germanic heroic legend consisting of 3,182 alliterative lines. It is one of the most important and most often translated works of Old English literature. The date of composition is a matter of contention among scholars; the only certain dating is for the manuscript, which was produced between 975 and 1025 AD. Scholars call the anonymous author the "Beowulf poet". The story is set in pagan Scandinavia in the 6th century. Beowulf, a hero of the Geats, comes to the aid of Hrothgar, the king of the Danes, whose mead hall Heorot has been under attack by the monster Grendel for twelve years. After Beowulf slays him, Grendel's mother takes revenge and is in turn defeated. Victorious, Beowulf goes home to Geatland and becomes king of the Geats. Fifty years later, Beowulf defeats a dragon, but is mortally wounded in the battle. After his death, his attendants cremate his body and erect a barrow on a headland in his memory.' (Wiki) ***'The "Finnesburg Fragment" (also "Finnsburh Fragment") is a portion of an Old English heroic poem about a fight in which Hnæf and his 60 retainers are besieged at "Finn's fort" and attempt to hold off their attackers. The surviving text is tantalisingly brief and allusive, but comparison with other references in Old English poetry, notably "Beowulf" (c. 1000 AD), suggests that it deals with a conflict between Danes and Frisians in Migration-Age Frisia (400 to 800 AD).' (Wiki) ***A post-war reprinting of the 1940 revised edition of this literary study of the Old English manuscripts "Beowulf" and "The Finnesburg Fragment" - with the extremely detailed prefatory notes on the translation by J. R. R. Tolkien. Early editions of this work are seldom found now. A very good ex-library copy, with the aforementioned page faults (a tear and paper cut) - both of which could perhaps be repaired by an expert paper archivist / restorer as there is no actual loss of text. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.…

Hardcover. 2nd edition. iv, 228 p.; 23 cm. [`chiefly composed in 1839,40,41, are a part of a much larger work which Dr. Arnold contemplated'] Good lightly scuffed tooled tan calf. Pages lightly foxed.

Cm. 22, pp. 308. Con 12 tavole fuori testo incise in rame di cui una ripiegata. Solida legatura coeva in cartonato rigido, con titoli e filetti in oro al dorso. Ben conservato.

12mo in sixes, pp. [ii], vi, [ii], 203, [5], 207-226; with a plate after p. 203, but wanting the half title; in contemporary half calf over marbled boards, morocco label (a bit chipped), overall slightly rubbed. 'Second edition', but in fact a reissue of the first, published the same year. Little seems to be known about Andrew Hervey Mills, except that in 1755 his 'Elizabethan' ballad, Collin and Lucy, was published without his knowledge as though it were a genuinely old poem. Here he takes the opportunity to reprint it (on pp. 32-9) as his own, newly retitled Allen and Ella. I can discover very little about the author, but he seems to have been well connected, and well-travelled, having visited Geneva and Brussels, as well as Troyes: the poems in the first part here are fairly conventional love-poems, mixed with odes and Horatian imitations. Both parts of this book are addressed to one Peter Vallete, with whom he had travelled, but about him also nothing is easily discoverable. Allen and Ella was reprinted in Pearch's Collection of Poems in 1770. Provenance. Pencil inscription 'Luton' inside upper cover, which indicates that this book came from the library at Luton Hoo, seat of the Earl of Bute, who had been Prime Minister in 1762-3.…

Two volumes in one, 4to, volume I: pp. [iv], 369; volume II: [vi], 19, [1]; [ii], 19, [1]; [ii], 48; [ii], 24; [ii], 32; [ii], 31; [ii], 38; [ii] blank, 24; [ii], 33; 28; 8; with contemporary MS notes (see below), mostly in the second volume; some dampstaining at the end, but internally a very decent copy, bound in contemporary full calf, spine gilt (joints cracked, but cords sound), morocco label. An intriguing copy of Charles Churchill's poems, published by his brother John, after the poet's early death at Boulogne on 4 November 1764. Churchill 'blazed the comet of a season' (in Byron's words) in the early 1760s, publishing 14000 lines of verse in less than four years. This copy has the contemporary booklabel of 'Mann Hutchesson, Wisbich', and his inscription on the free endpaper, dated 7 January 1766. This man was one of the original members of the Wisbech Literary Society, founded at the house of Jonathan Peckover in 1781. The town in Cambridgeshire was an important fenland trading place in the 18th century, and the centre of radicalism, being the birthplace of both Thomas Clarkson and William Godwin. Mann Hutchesson was town bailiff in 1788, and the author of An Introduction to the Charter of Wisbech, published in the town in 1791. Hutchesson has taken a considerable interest in the contents of this book, and has transcribed on the endpaper the text of Churchill's will, and other biographical information; and on pp. 3-5 of the first volume he has added some footnotes. He has been much more diligent in the second volume, which is made up of separately-paginated poems, adding footnotes on about fifty pages, often identifying contemporary allusions to figures such as David Hume and John Brown (pp. 6-7 of The Journey). The final page here is signed by the author's brother John, 'J. Churchill', as in other copies, presumably to guarantee authenticity. John Churchill was a surgeon-apothecary, and a politician in Westminster. Hutchesson has added underneath this the date of his death, 7 May 1799.…

He sided with parliament, and became governor of Nottingham (1643 - 45). He returned to Parliament in 1646 for Nottingham and was one of King Charles?s judges signing the warrant for his execution. Alarmed at the ambitious schemes of Cromwell, he ceased to continue in politics. He was later imprisoned in the Tower and at Sandown Castles on a groundless suspicion of treasonable conspiracy and died. His ?Memoirs? reveal a grave and courteous gentleman, wholly free from austerity and fanaticism ( Chambers). …
