3 Vols., royal 8vo (234 x 140 mm), wide margin copy, xxiv, [16], 358, [2]pp., 2 engraved plates; [12], 17-514, [2]pp., 2 engraved plates; [12], 514, [2]pp., 2 engravings, some minor spotting but generally very clean, marbled endpapers, contemporary long grained red morocco by Roger Payne, spine with raised bands with gilt thin lines, boards with gilt triple frame lines, Geek-key tooling to turn-ins, all edges gilt, a fine set. A fine set of John Baskerville's edition of William Congreve (1670-1729), the English Restoration playwright and poet. The portrait (slightly offset) is engraved by T. Chambers after Kneller and the plates are engraved by C. Grignion after F. Hayman. Roger Payne (1738-1797), the most accomplished and influential of the eighteenth-century English bookbinders. Payne was an outstanding craftsman, his books are very well forwarded and his style of finishing displays not only a high level of skill but also very good taste. The splendid simplicity of his bindings give them a individuality which strongly appeals today. Provenance: From the firm of Payne and Foss, with "N.O.X. Payne Foss 1843" in the upper corner of the rear fly leaf. Engraved armorial bookplates of William Gott, Bishop of Truro (1830-1906) and Einar Josefson (who bought it in 1956). Loosely inserted is a part letter from The Rosenbach Company to Harris E. Kirk where they send the copy on approval. "This is a large paper in a red straight morocco by Roger Payne and was formerly in the collection of the Rt. Rev. John Gott, D. D. Bishop of Truro. Of course I do not need to tell you that books printed at the Baskerville Press are much more desirable in a morocco binding than in calf, and Roger Payne bindings are among the most esteemed."

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good condition. 4th Edition & 1st Edition, respectively. London / London: S[amuel] Keble and R[ichard] Sare / J[acob] Tonson, 1698. With the griffin bookplate of publisher Thomas Bird Mosher (for more about him, see below). SEE PHOTOS. 2 volumes bound together. They are: Jeremy Collier. A SHORT VIEW OF THE IMMORALITY AND PROFANENESS OF THE ENGLISH STAGE. Fourth Edition. 1699 [the first was 1698]. London: S[amuel] Keble and R[ichard] Sare. 288pp. British Museum General Catalogue 906. Ashley Catalogue X, 80 (with title page facsimile). Hoe Catalogue I (1903), 302. Hazlitt II, 134. Langland to Wither #171 (Grolier Club). Wing 5266. According to Pforzheimer #189 [of the 1698 first edition]: "The publication of this book marks a new era in English dramatic literature. Few literary protests have been so completely successful in altering, or at least in giving expression to an impending change in public taste. It was absurdly praised by Johnson and Macaulay." The second volume is: William Congreve. AMENDMENTS OF MR. COLLIER'S FALSE AND IMPERFECT CITATIONS. 1698. London: J[acob]. Tonson. 109pp. First edition, second issue (pp. 43-44 [D6] is a cancel). No half title in this copy. Errata on verso of title page, as called for. Pforzheimer Library #192 [See also #191 for more detail on this issue]. Langland to Wither #193 (Grolier Club). British Museum General Catalogue 980. Ashley Catalogue IX, p.64 (with title reproduced). Wing 5844. From the Pforzheimer catalogue: " Though a witty and clever defense, even justified from an impartial view, this book failed in its purpose. Congreve was, on the whole, on the wrong side of the argument." Congreve's AMENDMENTS was written in answer to Collier's SHORT VIEW. This copy has Thomas B. Mosher's griffin bookplate (MDCCCXCVII). Also the armorial bookplate of James Heywood. Very Good condition. Only lightly rubbed. A pretty copy, clean, with minimal foxing. Bound in marbled boards with a brown leather spine and corners. 5 raised spine bands. Spine is gilt ruled. SEE PHOTOS. "Thomas Bird Mosher (1852 - 1923) was an American publisher out of Portland, Maine. He is notable for his contributions to the private press movement in the United States, and as a major exponent of the British Pre-Raphaelites and Aesthetes as well as other British Victorians. His book styles reflected those of William Pickering (publisher) and the Whittinghams, the books of the Bodley Head, the Daniel Press, the Eragny Press and Charles Ricketts of the Vale Press, among others. By the end of MosherÂ's publishing program in 1923 there would be 384 titles, 338 reprints of those editions, and 61 Â"privately printedÂ" books for a total of 783 books grouped into fourteen different series, all limited editions, covering his favorite authors including William Morris, Oscar Wilde, Fiona Macleod (William Sharp), Robert Louis Stevenson, Algernon Charles Swinburne, Walter Pater, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Richard Jeffries, Vernon Lee (Violet Paget), Edward FitzGerald, Walt Whitman, Andrew Lang, George Meredith, John Addington Symons, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Robert Browning, Matthew Arnold, Maurice Hewlett, Francis Thompson, Marcel Schwob, J.
