First Dublin edition, following those of Reading, 1788 and London 1792); 8vo, unpaginated text in double column; contemporary full calf, gilt ruled spine, morocco label; boards rubbed and bumped with large patch stripped on upper board, joints starting, tidestains, the occasional marginal annotation; two 19th-century gift inscriptions, one from Reverend Silas McKeen of Bradford, VT; good. Printing and the Mind of Man 236 (citing the first edition of Reading, 1788): "Lempriere's Classical Dictionary is the first of a new kind of manual: the rendering of a body of knowledge not easily accessible in any other form into a series of alphabetical articles for the use of those who lack the time or the learning to seek out the sources. Dictionaries, literary, geographical, and biographical there had been, and encyclopaedias; but Lempriere's is the first specialist work designed as a substitute for, rather than as an aid to, learning. It was, in fact, an early 'cram-book' . The Oxford Companion series is one of its most distinguished descendants . Keats owned a copy, and it was the source of much of his knowledge of Latin and Greek mythology; one can sometimes even see the genius of his lines in Lempriere's humble but lively prose." ESTC locates only 4 copies of this Dublin edition: British Library; National Trust; Countway Library of Medicine; and Johns Hopkins, to which OCLC adds Brown and Free Library of Philadelphia.

8vo., First Edition, on laid paper, neat eighteenth-century signature on title, some light age-staining (mainly marginal); firmly bound in nineteenth-century faux-vellum BY MYERS OF READING, sides with double frame border in gilt and red, back with five flat bands ruled in gilt, second compartment lettered in gilt, marbled endpapers, uncut, last few leaves of Tables chipped and dog-eared (but without material loss), lower margins of same leaves lightly damp-marked in blank margins, expertly rebacked to style with old backstrip laid down, an unusually well-preserved crisp, clean copy. With the errata leaf at end. With the nineteenth-century engraved armorial bookplate of Sir James R Andrew Clark, and the binder's ticket, on front paste-down. Since it was bound by Myers it may well have been sold in the town of publication. 'Lempriere's Classical Dictionary is the first of a new kind of manual: the rendering of a body of knowledge not easily accessible in any other form into a system of alphabetical articles for the use of those who lack the time or the learning to seek out the sources; the 'Oxford Companion' series is a distinguished descendant'. (Printing & the Mind of Man). Lempriere (c.1765-1824) was born in Jersey and remained a schoolmaster most of his life. QUITE APART FROM ITS INTRINSIC UTILITY, HIS DICTIONARY ACHIEVED IMMORTALITY SINCE IT PROVED AN IMPORTANT SOURCE OF INSPIRATION TO KEATS. Extremely scarce. PMM 376.

Constamment réédité au XIXe siècle, l'ouvrage, à vocation encyclopédique, servit de référence et de manuel pour les études sur l'Antiquité dans tout le monde anglo-saxon.Dans la préface, l'auteur précise qu'il a voulu "donner l'aperçu le plus complet et satisfaisant possible de tous les noms propres rencontrés à la lecture des auteurs classiques et, par une présentation judicieuse des anecdotes et des faits historiques, dresser un tableau des époques antiques aussi instructif que distrayant - to give the most accurate and satisfactory account of all the proper names which occur in reading the Classics, and by a judicious collection of anecdotes and historical facts to draw a picture of ancient times, not less instructive than entertaining". - - VENTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE UNIQUEMENT.

BROWNING, Elizabeth Barrett (illustratore). Carte-de-visite of Elizabeth Browning. London: Elliott & Fry, [n.d. c. a. 1860]. Albumen photo print mounted on card. Card size : (4 x 2 ½ inches; 103 x 62 mm). About fine with tiny pinholes to each corner. "This carte-de-visite, featuring her trademark dark ringlets, is based on an engraving by Thomas Oldham Barlow, itself a reproduction of Macaire's full-length photograph, taken September 1858. The engraving formed the frontispiece to her epic 'verse-novel' of female poetic ambition, Aurora Leigh (1856). In the frontispiece, the poet stands next to a desk. In Elliot & Fry's vignette, Barrett Browning's role as a writer is deemphasised." (National Portrait Gallery, London) Barnes. Kelley & Coley A1440. HBS 69114. $8,500.

First edition. "Lemprière's dictionary is a remarkable achievement for an undergrauate of twenty-three. It has remained popular because it is so readable; the factual information it contains is more accurately recorded elsewhere but his concise accounts (particularly those of mythological characters), with their elegant phrasing and ironic wit, often recall th etome of his older contemporary, Edward Gibbon" (ODNB). "'Lemprières Classical Dictionary' is a new kind of manual: the rendering of a body of knowledge not easily accessible in any other form into a series of alphabetical articles for the use of those who lack the time or the learning to seek out the sources. Dictionaries, literary, geographical and biographical there had been, and encyclopaedias; but Lemprière's is the first specialist work designed as a substitute for, rather than as an aid to, learning. It was in fact an early 'cram-book', 'this book being undertaken more particularly for the use of schools', according to the preface. But what started as a popularizing medium has since become a valued and respected part of the literary scene." (PMM). Printing and the Mind of Man 236. Octavo (213 x 132 mm). Contemporary half calf and marble boards, flat spine with gilt roll division in compartments, compartments decorated in blind, direct lettered in gilt, blue sprinkled edges. Ownership inscription dated 1852 to front pastedown with ink note to front free endpaper, some very light spotting; a very good copy in an attractive binding.
