"Conclusion. The grounds for our suspicions of this book have been outlined above, and our inspection of its auction record and early provenance did nothing to allay them. Furthermore, it is printed in the same font of type as six of the proved forgeries and four other suspects, which, although not positive evidence, at least proves that its typography is not inconsistent with the hypothesis that it is a member of the group. There is no single authenticating feature to set against this body of negative evidence; and the pamphlet must be set down as highly suspicious." --Carter and Pollard

FIELDING, Henry. The Journal of A Voyage to Lisbon,... London: for A. Millar, 1755. $450
FIRST PUBLISHED EDITION. With the half-title. Bound in contemporary full dark tan calf over cords, spine gilt decorated, gilt lettered red leather spine label, covers double ruled in gilt, head and foot of spine rubbed with some slight loss, front hinge starting but cover firmly attached. (1842A) Fielding sailed for Lisbon with his wife, daughter, and two servants. He embarked at Rotherhithe 26 June 1754. After many delays his ship, the Queen of Portugal, anchored off Ryde on 11 July, and was detained until the 23rd. Lisbon was at last reached. The incidents of his voyage are detailed with great humour and with undiminished interest in life in this posthumously published work. Mr. Austen Dobson rightly says that it is one "of the most unfeigned and touching little tracts in our own or any other literature." A Margaret Collier apparently went with Fielding to Lisbon, and was supposed to have written the book, because it was so inferior to his other works. The gallant spirit with which Fielding met this trying experience doubtless sustained him to the last. He died at Lisbon, after two months' stay on October 8, 1754.

George Levitsky (b.1885): Born in the Ukraine, Levitsky studied binding in Odessa before emigrating to Paris in 1907. He worked for Proute until 1910, when he opened his own studio at 22 rue de l'Od�on. The following year he made his debut at the Salon des Artistes Fran�ais. Well-known outside France, Levitsky applied a range of conventional designs to leather and parchment bindings for a clientele that included King Albert I of Belgium and Alexander I of Serbia. His style became increasingly dynamic and resourceful after World War I. At the 1937 Exposition, for example, he displayed three tours de force: covers for Un Pelerin d'Angkor (incorporating ivory, mother-of-pearl, gold, and ebony), Marrakech (morocco incrusted with mother-of-pearl), and Le Paradis Musulman (ivory and mother-of-pearl). He retired in 1965. (A)
FLETCHER, Phineas. The Purple Island, Or The Isle Of Man, Together With Piscatorie Eclogs And Other Poeticall Miscellanies. Cambridge: Printed by the Printers to the Universitie, 1633. $1,200
FIRST EDITION. Small 4to, (vii)181(i)130pp.(i.e.126)(i), title-page printed in red & black with engraved printer's device and typo-graphical border, decorative head & tail pieces, some staining to last 3 leaves; margin of p.19 trimmed, as usual pp.97-100 of "Poeticall Miscellanies" is skipped in numbering, Quarles poem on final leaf, often missing, is present here. Bound in full light brown diced calf over cords, gilt decorated spine, lacking spine label, covers ruled in gilt, hinges cracked, front cover detached. (1443A)
This copy includes "Piscatorie Eclogs", with a separate title page. Also included is the section "Elisa or An Elgie Upon the Unripe Decease of Sr. Antonie Irby", also with separate title page. The book concludes with a amendatory poem addressed to Fletcher, "To my deare friend, the Spencer of this age", by Frances Quarles (1592-1644).
A quite rare, important and sought after work in the Vesalian tradition by a poet of the Spenserian school. It is a "philosophical poem in twelve cantos of the body of man, describing in allegory the physiological structure of the human body and the mind of man, and of the virtues and vices to which man is subject". From the purely medical standpoint "The Purple Island" is a fairly accurate description of human anatomy as set forth by Vesalius in his "Fabrica" (1543). For his physiological information, Fletcher seems to have drawn largely upon Galen. (Drake 622-23).
"In this work the veins are equated with rivers, the bones mountains of the Island and the entire analogy worked out with great ingenuity. After a detailed description of man's anatomy he turns his attention to mans mind "--Cambridge History of English Literature.
Osler describes the book as "an elaborate allegorical description of the human body, with anatomical notes."

The Paston letters are a collection of personal and business correspondence of the Paston family of Norfolk and others, covering 1422-1509, together with deeds, state papers, and other documents that had come into their possession. The collection forms an indispensable source for the history, manners, morals, habits, customs, moneys, etc. of the people of England at the close of the Middle Ages. A portion of the letters were published by James Fenn, two volumes in 1787 and two in 1789, but the original manuscripts disappeared and doubt of their authenticity grew. However, they were rediscovered subsequent to 1865, together with additional material, and were reprinted in a definitive edition here by James Gairdner.

This copy has the first and last errors but with P3 correctly signed. No copy appears in NUC with only these two mistakes.

"OVER THE RIVER AND THROUGH THE WOODS"
HEMINGWAY, Mary. One-page TLS. Ketchum, Idaho, November 17, 1972. $395
One-page single sided, 4to., signed by Hemingway's 4th wife in ink, on Monmouth College stationary, two vertical and two horizontal folds. (757A)
The letter was written from a Richard D. Stine, President of Monmouth College which reads in part: "Dear Mrs. Hemingway: My wife and I are leaving for Spain..... While we are in Madrid, we would like very much to be able to take a side trip to the bridge built on the site of the bridge about which Mr. Hemingway wrote in For Whom the Bell Tolls." Mrs. Hemingway replies: "You take the road north to Segovia, which as I recall skirts LaGranja. The bridge is either before you reach LaGranja or between it and Segovia, and is the one where the road crosses the river, which has been on one's right, to the other side - the canyon quite deep, so you have the river on the left going north (not due north, by compass, a bit west of north). From the bank on both sides you can see where the bridge was blown, the newer stone being lighter - unless they've plastered it or painted or something. The cave country is up the mountains from there - but Ernest's cave was inside his head. We never hunted any particular cave. Sorry to be so late with this - Bon voyage. Mary Hemingway."

PRESENTATION COPY
HOLMES, Oliver W. The Autocrat of the Breakfast-Table. Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1860. $ 1,900
PRESENTATION COPY. Illustrated, inscribed on the half-title by Holmes which reads "Ms Davis,/ old friend "Lucy Stimson"/ from Oliver Wendell Holmes/ Sept. 15th 1860." Bound in the publisher's pebble grained brown cloth, covers stamped in blind, mild overall handling, housed in a 1/2 brown morocco slipcase, ribbed gilt decorated spine. (982A)
This work was first published in 1858 and is one of the elder Holmes' more popular literary works. The work is a series of essays. A heterogeneous collection of boarders gather around the table, providing an audience for the wit and philosophy of the Autocrat. The essays take the form of conversations that generally develop into monologues. Cleverly and epigram-matically, the Autocrat discourses on social, theological, and scientific topics. The book, seemingly disconnected, is unified by the recurring themes and personalities. Holmes includes several of his poems.
