4to, engraved frontispiece and pp. [viii], 464; a good clean copy in contemporary red roan, gilt border on covers, spine lettered in gilt; gilt edges, silk endpapers. (Spine worn, upper joint broken.) First edition of the first part, and a presentation copy from the author. This is the first volume only of what became an extraordinarily long poem of more than 130,000 lines. John Fitchett (1776-1838) was the son of a Liverpool wine merchant, and his poem on King Alfred was the great work of his life: further parts appeared over the years, and a wholly revised version, printed with money he bequeathed to his friend Robert Roscoe, was published by Pickering in 1841-2 in six volumes. Fitchett's biographer in ODNB calls the work a 'prodigious monument of misapplied learning and mental energy' This first part was printed privately for Fitchett at Warrington by J. Haddock, and despite the imprint it seems not actually to have been issued to the public, and it is now very rare. The author has noted at the foot of the title page: '(Privately printed, but not published) J.F.'. This copy was given, many years after it was printed, by Fitchett himself to a lady friend: a manuscript poem on the endpaper is addressed 'To Miss Vernon, with the first volume of the (unpublished) poem of Alfred'. The sonnet which follows - written in antiquated verse of a kind that would not have been out of place a century earlier - is signed by Fitchett and dated November 1836. Copac locates just one copy, at the Bodleian; no copy in WorldCat. Provenance: given to an unidentified Miss Vernon, very probably a local Warrington friend. Offered in 1985 by Robin Waterfield of Oxford in their catalogue 55 (item 130), and bought by E.G. Stanley, Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at Oxford.…

No binding. Zustand: Good. 420 x 600 mm., in fine early wash colour, with old folds, one tear upper right just in to the image, repaired, signs of one of the folds split although repaired professionally, otherwise in good condition. A lovely early coloured copper plate view of Brighton, Sussex. By the mid-1700s English taste for prints was moving in to landscape views. One of the earliest proponents of this was a George Lambert (1700-65). However there is no evidence of any relation to our James Lambert. James (1725-88) was born in Willingdon, Sussex. He spent much of his life in Lewes and had London exhibitions between 1769 and 1778. In 1765 he painted this fine view of Brighton, and in the same year appeared an advert in the 'Lewes Journal'. first published in the same year. It stated 'Proposal for a print of the view of Brightelmston and the sea coast as far as the Isle of Wight from a drawing taken on the spot by James Lambert, Painter, Lewes. Conditions - the drawing shall be made very correct, and a print neatly engraved from it, two feet in length at least; the price, to subscribers, will be five shillings .' As of 1995 the location of the original painting was unknown.This is an example of the second state published by the firm of James Edwards of Brompton. It was engraved by the great talent Pierre Charles Canot (1710-77,) a Frenchman who practised etching and line engraving. He moved to England in 1740 where he spent the rest of his life. Although research seems to indicate that the Lambert family name died out, there is an interesting pencil notation on the verso by 'J. Lambert' dated 1817. The field depicted was known as Belle Vue. The whole depicts the coastal town of Brighton as we know it with farmers engaged in the harvesting of crops. Cattle are seen pulling the hay collected by people cutting with scythes. Further in the distance are three wind mills. In the centre of the view standing on its own is Baker's Library with a rotunda near. Provenance: pencil notation on the verso '1817 Aug 22 Received 14.9 for this Number J. Edwards'; private English collection since the 1980s.
