See More... Collier, John Payne BIBLIOGRAPHICAL AND CRITICAL ACCOUNT OF THE RAREST BOOKS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE, ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED, WHICH DURING THE LAST FIFTY YEARS, HAVE COME UNDER THE OBSERVATION OF J. PAYNE COLLIER.
2 volumes. London Joseph Lilly 1865 8vo. original quarter calf over green cloth. xiii,xlvi,555; (ii),593 pages.
A bibliographic work of the critic, scholar, bibliographer, and forger John Payne Collier (1789-1883). Besterman 917; Sabin xxxvi. Collier's major fraud was his 1852 "Notes and Emendations to Shakespeare," based on marginalia, purportedly by contemporaries of Shakespeare, "discovered" by him in a 1632 folio of Shakespeare (which he kept from scrutiny); Collier, a competent Shakespeare scholar, presumably saw this not as forgery but as the correction of a lamentable lack of documentary evidence supporting the correct understanding of Shakespeare. This bibliography is based on an 1837 catalogue by Collier of the Earl of Ellesmere's collection (the "Bridgewater catalogue"), and lists about 750 works of the 16th and 17th centuries. Fairly brief bibliographic descriptions are frequently followed by lengthy annotations with short excerpts. In the preface, Collier alludes to a lack of good relations with the British Museum (he had quarreled with Panizzi) as a reason for the relative lack of British Museum holdings in his listings (a bibliographic limitation not noted on the title page!), asserts that he has duly credited other bibliographic sources, and that he has personally examined every book "the merits and peculiarities of which are discussed in these volumes," which may seem a little equivocal. With an alphabetical index for both volumes at the end of vol. II. Leather rubbed along hinges and wear at spine ends with part of leather missing at top of the spine of volume 2..

All but Part VII of the eleven-part catalogue of the Corser collection. Thomas Corser (1793-1876) collected mostly English literature of the 16th and 17th centuries. His collection was sold off by Sotheby's from 1868 to 1873, with a later sale in Manchester in 1876; some of his collection was acquired by Henry Huth. Corser began publishing the catalogue of his collection in 1860, through the Chetham Society, and finished 6 parts before his death. The President of the Society, James Crossley (1800-1883), himself the owner of a large library, finished the 7th part (lacking here), and compiled parts 8 to 11. There are 681 entries in these ten parts. With about 15 text illustrations and a portrait engraving of Corser. Part XI contains a general index, a biography of Corser, and a list of prices realized in sales of his library. Bindings are identical except that XI is large paper. Several volumes have bookplates, several others are ex-library. All have internal stamps. Covers generally show moderate wear, particularly the earlier volumes (first two also faded), with occasional bumping. Two backings severely worn at head and tail. Torn erratum slip, hinge splitting in IX. Front edge of front cover of I broken.

(Aldershot, England) Scolar Press (1994) 8vo. cloth, dust jacket lvi, 245+(1) pages
First edition. The Corvinus Press was founded in 1936 by Viscount Carlow, and produced a number of books of typographic and literary importance before Carlow was killed in action in 1944. Carlow was a personal friend of T.E. Lawrence, and was invited to serve on one of the trusts set up to administer Lawrence's estate. This gave him access to Lawrence's unpublished works and inspired him with the idea of printing them himself as an appropriate memorial to his friend. This book provides a full description of all books printed by Lord Carlow as well as substantial appendices, giving details of ephemera, typefaces and papers, and a checklist of books from the Dropmore Press, which took over the stock and equipment of Corvinus in 1945.

See More... Crawford, Mary E. and Bruce J. Crawford MARY WEBB: NEGLECTED GENIUS
2, With contributions by Gladys Mary Coles and Thomas A. Goldwasser. Illustrations by William Bishop. New York The Grolier Club 2010 6 x 9 inches hardcover, slipcase 234 pages
Mary Webb was an extraordinary poet well known for her writings about the English countryside and rural England. Webb recorded her own observations while making readers feel as if they were living in her landscape. Webb brought people closer to nature with vivid expressions of the outdoors. She wrote in a lyrical quality with her characters encompassing emotions of sympathy, love, joy, and genuine pleasure. She has been reviewed as a poet with excellent work.

Mary Webb: Neglected Genius is a two-volume hardcover slipcased set. The set was published to accompany the exhibition held at the Grolier Club from January 27 to March 13, 2010, and then at Stanford University from May 17 to August 29, 2010. Attempting to bring more attention to the lesser-known works, the catalogue includes the only extant manuscript of a Mary Webb novel, Armour Wherein He Trusted; a letter of appreciation from Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin; a group of letters from Webb to her future mother-in-law; and the manuscript of Clematisa & Percival, an unpublished story written by her as a teenager and reproduced here in the accompanying volume.

The catalogue also includes a foreword, a critical assessment by Bruce J. Crawford, an essay on how Mary Crawford came to collect Webb's work, and a retrospective on collecting Webb by Thomas A. Goldwasser. Containing descriptions of her work, the book is also richly illustrated and includes a selection of poems. The reproduction of Clematisa & Percival is exquisitely illustrated by William Bishop.
