Harms ow VG/ndj: vol 1= XVIII+190pp. Life of Chinese emperor Daoguang, son of Qianlong emperor; Gutzlaff was a German Lutheran missionary who was one of the first Protestant missionaries in Thailand (1828), Korea (1832) and China. "Karl Gützlaff wurde 1828 Chinamissionar auf eigene Faust (Freimissionar), erst in der chinesischen Diaspora in Indien und nach 1831 in China als der erste deutsche lutherische Missionar dort. In den ersten Jahren machte er Besuchsreisen längs der Küste des für Ausländer ganz verschlossenen Landes, nachher ins Innere Chinas mit Kanton als Station. Die abendländischen Zeitungen berichteten über Gützlaffs Fahrten, und seine eigenen Reiseschilderungen wurden in Buchform in vielen Ländern veröffentlicht. Sie entfachten eine ungeheure, aber sehr übertriebene Begeisterung für die Möglichkeit einer Evangelisierung Chinas. Aufgrund dieser Begeisterung und durch andere Veröffentlichungen kamen fast 20 Missionare zu ihm heraus. Er übersetzte die Bibel ins Chinesische, verfaßte Traktate und gab eine englisch-chinesische Monatsschrift heraus". - Daoguang gilt als fähiger, engagierter und von den besten Absichten geleiteter Herrscher. Seine Herrschaft ist aber überschattet vom Ersten Opiumkrieg, der Chinas Abstieg von der Hegemonialmacht Asiens zu einem halbkolonialen Entwicklungsland einläuten sollte. www3$280-320/also author Geschichte des chinesischen Reiches Leipzig, Gottfried Basse, 1847; Gutzlaff learned Chinese and was notable for translating the Bible into Chinese that was adopted by the revolutionary peasant leader Hong Xiuquan of the Taipingtianguo movement (Taiping Rebellion). He went on to work with the British during the First Opium War as a translator. After the interior or China was closed off by the Qing government, Gutzalff continued his evangelisation work in Hong Kong through the establishment of the Chinese Evangelization Society. ///.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. [Chevrier, François-Antoine]Recueil de ces dames. A Bruxelles.[Paris] aux dépens de la compagnie, 1745. 8vo. xvi + 290p. Late 18th century French red morocco with Talleyrand arms of three crowned lions rampant and motto 'Re Que Diou' gilt-stamped in centres of sides within triple line borders, spine gilt with olive morocco title label, edges gilt, marbled endpapers. First edition of this satire on the frivolity of contemporary society ladies, apparently the earliest book by the acerbic writer and pamphleteer, François-Antoine Chévrier (1721-62), best known for his libellous Le Colporteur (1762) shortly after whose publication he was forced to flee to Holland and was supposedly murdered there. This superbly bound volume is a fine example of the earliest period of book-collecting by Charles Maurice de Talleyrand (1754-1838), celebrated statesman and connoisseur, who used the arms of his father, Charles-Daniel Comte de Perigord (1734-88), to decorate the bindings of only some of his favourite books. A selection from Talleyrand s first library was sold at Sotheby s in 1793 to support himself as a refugee in England; a second, more extensive selection was sold in London in 1816 to pay debts. But most of his books, notably those kept at the library at Valençay, only contained armorial bookplates which makes this volume so special. A unique opportunity to acquire a choice item from Talleyrand's first library which contained only a very few volumes bearing his arms as supra libros. A fine copy elegantly bound in the best tradition of 18th century bibliophily. For the arms of Charles Comte de Talleyrand, father of Charles Maurice, who married Alexandrine-Marie-Victoire-Eleonore de Damas d'Antigny cf: Olivier I, plate 944. From the library of Robert S.Pirie, lawyer-banker & distinguished collector (1935-2015); with presentation inscription to him by Jayne Wrightsman, collector and philanthropist, dated 2006.

[PIGOTT, CHARLES] THE JOCKEY CLUB; OR A SKETCH OF THE MANNERS OF THE AGE. Part the Second. The Second Edition. Printed for H. D. Symonds, Paternoster-Row. 1792. [x] + 186 pp. (lacks pp. 171-72; facsimile included). ESTC N29110. Thomas Erskine (1750-1823), was a Scottish Whig lawyer and politician who defended the radicals prosecuted by the government in the 1790s. This text is part of an extensive pamphlet war on the French Revolution and subsequent execution of Louis XIV and war with France. Here he is attacking the views of Edmund Burke (1729-97), who had started the controversy with his Reflections on the Revolution in France in 1790, as expressed in his Letters on the Prospect of a Regicide Peace (1796). The Present War with France was a bestseller and thirty five editions were published in 1797. As first baron, Erskine served in the office of Lord High Chancellor, 1806-07. The Short Review was published anonymously, but is known to be the work of Sir Nathaniel William Wraxall (1751-1831), author and politician, who was created first baronet in 1813. After early employment by the East India Company, 1769-82, he returned home, travelled extensively in Europe and served as a Tory MP for three different constituencies, 1780-94, being later chiefly known for his published European memoirs. This pamphlet is a dispassionate review of the state of Britain in 1787 with some linked observations on other European states. The Jockey Club was also published anonymously, but is known to be the work of Charles Pigott (d.1794), satirist and radical. The work, using partly disguised names, satirises fashionable society and the conduct of life of the upper classes (the actual Jockey Club was founded in 1750). The first part was published in 1792 and there was also a third part and another work by Pigott, The Female Jockey Club (1794).

A FINE SET INSIDE AND OUT. This finely bound, finely printed, and strictly limited set includes the biography, prose, letters, essays, and poetry of "the prince of English essayists." According to Day, Charles Lamb contributed to the essay form by concentrating on feeling (rather than thought), by projecting a fuller sense of self into the work, and by imbuing his text with a poetic or lyrical quality. Lamb was also an accomplished poet, writing in both rhyming and blank verse, as well as a friend to many of the leading literary figures of the Romantic period--his correspondents include Wordsworth, Southey, Hazlitt, and Coleridge, whom he had known since childhood. Lamb's letters, by turns witty and meditative, reveal a life of intense reading and writing at a time when British literature was undergoing a radical transformation. Charles Lamb (1775-1834) was educated at Christ's Hospital and at 17 joined the East India House, where he worked from 1792-1825. In 1796, Lamb's sister Mary stabbed and killed their mother with scissors in a fit of insanity. Charles took on her care as well as serving as sole support for a dying aunt and a prematurely senile father. Nonetheless, Lamb and his sister were devoted to one another and lived long and productive lives, publishing together the wildly popular "Tales from Shakespeare" (1807) and "Mrs. Leicester's School" (1809), both of which are included here. Though unsigned, the bindings are extremely attractive and fittingly luxurious for the limited-edition contents--the thick gilt tooling, luxurious doublures, and red silk endpapers housing tactilely pleasing Japanese vellum make this set a delight both to have and to hold.
