Garvey, Nathan THE CELEBRATED GEORGE BARRINGTON: A SPURIOUS AUTHOR; THE BOOK TRADE, AND BOTANY BAY.
Sydney Hordern House 2008 9.5" x 6.5" hardcover 327 pages
First edition. This book traces the genesis of the Barrington books in rich and evocative detail, offering a compelling account of publishing history in England and on the continent, and displaying the subtle machinations of the book trade in a world without copyright laws. Throughout, The Celebrated George Barrington combines the rigour of book history and bibliographical research with a fresh and engaging style. Of special interest is Garvey's authoritative bibliography of the Barrington books, with extensive notes and detailed collation details, destined to become a standard reference for librarians, scholars and booksellers. With more than eighty separate works noticed, this is the first comprehensive account of the Barrington books and the first to chart the publishing history of the works about and attributed to George Barrington, which have long remained a source of confusion for students of early Australian history. Elegantly printed in two-colours, and bound in red cloth with a full-colour dustjacket, the work includes some twenty-six illustrations, all taken from the early Barrington books.

Nathan Garvey was born in Dalby, Queensland. He graduated from the University of Queensland in 2000, and was awarded a doctorate from the university of Sydney in 2007. Author of a number of articles on early Australian literature and the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century book trade, he is the C. H. Currey Memorial Fellow at the State Library of New South Wales for 2008. This is his first book.

Distributed for Hordern House, Australia. Available in Australia from the publisher.

(Wise, Thomas J.) Smart, James P. A BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE WRITINGS IN PROSE AND VERSE OF JOHN RUSKIN, EDITED BY THOMAS J. WISE.
Part 1, September 1889. New York John Wiley & Sons 1889 4to. stapled, original self paper wrappers. 32 pages.
Entries for 13 early Ruskin publications, with different editions, notes, excerpts, etc. Part 1 of a 19-part bibliography compiled by Smart and edited by T.J. Wise. Ruskin was not one of Wise's great successes, but he did produce 6 or 7 Ruskin forgeries, and "legitimized" some of them by planting them in this bibliography, beginning with part 2 a few months later--the first instance of this practice by Wise (Barker/Collins: Sequel to an Inquiry, pp. 135, 138). This part 1, therefore, comes at a turning point in Wise's career: He was just completing the bankrupting of the Shelley Society, just starting his career as a bibliographer and abuser of bibliography, and had recently produced his first forgeries. Covers are soiled and chipped, with part of the back cover missing. Lacks paper covering on spine. Covers, half title partly detached. An unusual survival.

Woodfield, Denis B. SURREPTITIOUS PRINTING IN ENGLAND, 1550-1640.
New York Bibliographical Society of America 1973 4to. cloth. ix, 203 pages.
This book deals with those books, pamphlets and broadsides in contemporary foreign languages, including French, Italian, Spanish and Dutch, that were surreptitiously printed in England before 1640. Each of the 65 works is discussed in one of the six chapters. Printers and printing historians will also enjoy the reproductions of the titles pages and all 305 printer's ornaments and initials used in every work except for one.
The introduction of this book attempts to present the story of the origins and development of surreptitious printing in foreign vernaculars in chronological form. Woodfield distinguishes between the word "surreptitiously printed" and "secretly printed" to describe these books as not illegal, but having meant to mislead the average reader, English or foreign, into believing that the work had been published in the country in whose language it was printed. A book in a foreign vernacular which was printed for the private order of a customer would also be considered to have been "surreptitiously printed" if it lacks an imprint. Some books may also have been printed because the author or patron decided to subsidize a possibly uneconomic edition. Included is a section on typography as well as a bibliography.
