Quarto. Foliation: [4], 159, [5] leaves. Collated and complete with the initial blank leaf. [STC 4615]. 18th or early 19th century half calf, gilt panelled spine, red morocco label. The remarkable provenance of this book traces its journey through a series of owners, whose hands record their different responses to this richly diverse and engrossing text. From ecology to antiquarianism to pilchards, the annotators display their particular interests through their manuscript interactions. In The Survey of Cornwall, the Elizabethan antiquary and poet Richard Carew (15551620) describes, in exuberant style, the Cornish landscape and climate, and of the occupations of men and women whose lives these shaped. Such matters as the local tin mines, the fishing industry, and the games people played, including hurling, all come within the compass of his lively pen. Carew includes an early account of the use of sign language by two deaf people, reflecting his lifelong interest in languages: he taught himself Greek, Italian, German, Spanish, and French, and his panegyric, The excellencie of the English tongue (1614), entangled him in a dispute which involved (among others) Richard Verstegan, Thomas Nashe, Edmund Spenser, and William Shakespeare.The first, anonymous scribe is drawn to Carew's material on the Cornish landscape and its uses, particularly tin mining and the sardine fishing and export industry. They estimate the quantity of pilchards and the markup on the original price paid to fishermen when the fish reach their destination in Spain ("i000 of pilchardes are sold for, 3s ther, & in Spayne for 8s") and weigh in on how sardines are to be eaten ("scrape of the skine & take out the bone, & then mince them & then put them in a platter, shred (?) with spanich onyons, & oil"). The next reader, and the first to claim ownership, was the herald and antiquary Peter Le Neve, (1661-1729), first President of the Antiquarian Society and a voracious book and manuscript collector who has inscribed the front blank A1 "Liber Petri Le Neve Rouge Crois [Pursuivant] 1695". He was followed by the arms painter and herald painter, Josiah Jones (d. 1764) who has augmented the volume with 74 heraldic shields in the margins, mostly annotated with names and tricked. The next record of ownership is by Andrew Coltée Ducarel (1713-1785), a French-English antiquary, librarian, archivist, and lawyer who served as librarian and treasurer of Doctors' Commons, and became the first lay librarian at Lambeth Palace Library.2 He has affixed his engraved armorial bookplate ("Andrew Colteè Ducarel / L.L.D. / Doctor's Commons") to the paste-down, and inscribed the front blank "A Ducarel 1770" to the blank endpaper. After appearing in A catalogue of the very valuable library of books, manuscripts, and prints, of the late Andrew Coltee Ducarel. [Sale catalogue, Leigh and Sotheby, 3 April 1786]3, the volume came into the possession of "John Howard 1787" (inscription to title page) possibly, as a pencil note to the front endpaper claims, the philanthropist and prison reformer, John Howard (1726?-1790). The most recent ownership record takes the book back to its roots: the armorial bookplate to the front endpaper reads "CLC / Treverben Vean" i.e. Lieutenant Colonel Charles Lygon Somers Cocks (1821-1885) of Treverben in Cornwall. These connections, especially those concerning the connecting paths in the libraries of Peter le Neve, Josiah Jones, and Ducarel, have yet to be clearly mapped, but they offer an extra dimension of appeal to an already hugely engaging volume.…
