Condizione: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | The ninth issue of Hippocampus Press's acclaimed journal of weird poetry features verse by some of the leading contemporary poets of fantasy, horror, and the supernatural, including Frank Coffman, Fred Chappell, Ashley Dioses, Wade German, K. A. Opperman, Leigh Blackmore, Jessica Amanda Salmonson, Ann K. Schwader, and the late Michael Fantina. Such significant fiction writers as John Shirley, Darrell Schweitzer, and David Barker also contribute striking weird verse, while Liam Garriock, David B. Harrington, Charles D. O'Connor III, and others show that the prose-poem is alive and well. Among the classic reprints are rare and unreprinted poems by Madison Cawein (a prominent poet of the turn of the 20th century, much of whose work is laced with weirdness) and Dora Sigurson Shorter. Marcos Legaria contributes the first part of a detailed examination of the influence of Clark Ashton Smith upon the poetry of Robert Nelson, who in his tragically brief life (1912-1935) produced some scintillating work that continues to attract attention. In the section of reviews, Donald Sidney-Fryer assesses Henry J. Vester III's Of Mist and Crystal; Frank Coffman supplies a sensitive reading of Ashley Dioses's Diary of a Sorceress; and Russ Parkhurst evaluates Adam Bolivar's book of ballads, The Lay of Old Hex.

She has signed "Dorothy Secker with love from Italia Conti / Victoria Palace "Where the Rainbow Ends", New Years Day 1920 / In memory of the 'Tiny Fairy'".

Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. Letters, on the Spirit of Patriotism: London: Printed for A. Millar, opposite to Catherine-Street, in the Strand, 1749. First authorized edition. Letters of the Honourable Algernon Sydney: London: Printed for R. Dodsley, at Tully's Head in Pall-Mall, 1742. First edition. First authorized edition of Henry St. John, 1st Viscount Bolingbroke's (1678-1751) most influential political tracts, bound together with the first edition of the letters of Algernon Sidney (1623-1683) to Henry Savile. Assembling Bolingbroke's three famous Letters written in the 1730s following his exile from England upon the accession of King George I, this bright first edition contains Bolingbroke's On the Spirit of Patriotism, The Idea of a Patriot King, and Of the State of Parties at the Accession of King George I. Bolingbroke was an English Tory politician, government official, and political philosopher who supported the failed Jacobite rebellion of 1715 that sought to overthrow King George I. After escaping to France (in disguise) in the wake of the failed uprising, Bolingbroke would become foreign minister for the Pretender (James Francis Edward Stuart) and pen his famed political tracts, which argued for an end to political partisanship, a balancing of the English constitution, and the restoration of virtue by a king acting on purely patriotic grounds. It is reported that Bolingbroke entrusted early versions of the Letters to his friend and English poet, Alexander Pope, and that Pope, unbeknownst to Bolingbroke, secretly published 1,500 copies of The Idea of a Patriot King. As a result, Bolingbroke is said to have purchased and destroyed all of the Pope copies before authorizing the first publication of this corrected edition of the Letters in 1749. Accompanying Bolingbroke's Letters is the first edition publication of Algernon Sidney's letters to Henry Savile, envoy-extraordinary to Louis XIV. In his letters to Savile, Sidney, the celebrated English politician and republican theorist, reports to his friend on the turbulent state of English politics. Sidney would later be tried and executed in 1683 on account of his alleged role in the Rye House Plot as well as for the thought contained in his seminal work Discourses Concerning Government, which was first published posthumously in 1698. Both Bolingbroke and Sidney would greatly influence the thought of America's founding generation. John Adams is reported to have read all of Bolingbroke's works multiple times, and Thomas Jefferson would later claim of Sidney's Discourses that the work offered "the best elementary book of the principles of government, as founded in natural right, which has ever been published in any language." A handsome first edition compilation of Bolingbroke and Sidney. Octavo. Two works bound together in contemporary quarter calf, marbled boards with vellum corners, black morocco spine label letters in gilt. Some scuffing to boards, contemporary ink signature to front fly-leaf: "P Griffin St. Edmund Hall, Oxon, July 1764." Bright and well-preserved. Very good-plus.
