Müller, K. O. A HISTORY OF THE LITERATURE OF ANCIENT GREECE, CONTINUED AFTER THE AUTHOR'S DEATH BY JOHN WILLIAM DONALDSON. .
3 volumes. London Longmans, Green and Co. n.d. 8vo. half leather with cloth, all edges marbled. ü(ix),xlvii,(ii),512; (iii),x,(iii),515+(1); (iii),ix,(iv),465+(1) pages
This history, written mostly by the German philologist and archaeologist Karl Otfried Müller (1797-1840), translated into English by Sir George Cornewall Lewis (1806-1863) and English philologist John William Donaldson (1811-1861), and completed by Donaldson, was first published about 1858. According to Lewis and Donaldson, "Before the publication of the present work, no History of Greek Literature had been published in the English language." An image of Müller appears as the frontispiece, and the first volume includes an essay by Donaldson on Müller's life and writings. The cloth portions of the cover on these volumes are slightly abraded and the leather portions are scuffed. The tops have darkened over time. The leaves near the front and back of each volume show some foxing. The hinge is cracked following the half-title in the first volume, but the leaves are still securely attached. This set was formerly in the collection of the Library of the General Assembly of New Zealand as indicated by a gilt design impressed on the covers and plates on the front pastedown.

Myers, Robin and Michael Harris (editors) CENSORSHIP AND THE CONTROL OF PRINT IN ENGLAND AND FRANCE 1600-1910.
Winchester St Paul's Bibliographies 1992 8vo. hardback xii, 154 pages
First edition. Part of the Publishing Pathways Series. The medium of print has always been identified as a crucial element in the exercise of power. Since the invention of printing a combination of interests - political, religious and cultural - have borne down on the Press in an attempt to shape and contain its output. Each stage of the production and distribution of printed material can be seen as a battlefield of competing ideologies, whether organized through such institutions as the Stationers' Company, Parliament, and the lending library, or represented by broad divisions within society at large.
In this collection of essays leading scholars investigate the interaction between authors, publishers, booksellers, readers and regulatory bodies in England and France across three centuries, and show the key role that the book trade - resisting or adapting to external pressure - has played in defining what is permissible to publish.

Myers, Robin, Michael Harris and Giles Mandelbrote (Editors) OWNERS, ANNOTATORS AND THE SIGNS OF READING
with The Publishing Pathways Series Cumulative Index New Castle, Delaware, and London, UK Oak Knoll Press and The British Library 2005 8vo. cloth, dust jacket 248 pages with 40 b/w illustrations
Part of the Publishing Pathways Series. Reading, and the manifold signs of reading, have become one of the most dynamic areas of research in book history. The reader as consumer and owner, as well as participant in the construction of new meanings, is the subject of these original essays. Specialists in literature, art history and book history investigate the annotations, marginal marks, extra-illustration and other forms of evidence left by readers. Through an examination of the book as a physical object, the contributors provide a range of intriguing insights into the ways in which this internalized and ephemeral activity can be understood in the context of book-trade history. Available in the UK from The British Library.
