Thomas Roscoe (1791 - 1871) was an English translator and also a novelist who enjoyed studying the work by other European novelists. In the preface he writes: "In the following series of national novels, connected with the secondary class of prose fiction so abounding in Spanish literature, it has been the humble endeavour of the translator, upon a similar plan with the Italian and the German specimens, to convey to the English reader some idea of its rise and progress, as well as of the peculiar manners, customs, modes of thinking at different periods, as exhibited in this form of composition." Includes Don Juan Manuel, Mendoza, Mateo Aleman, Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra, Matias de los Reyes, Don Christoval Lozano, Luis Veliz de Guavara, Isidro de Robles, Alonzo del Castillo Salorzano, Don Francisco de Quevedo Villegas, Doctor don Juan Perez de Montalvan, Antionio de Eslava, and Donna Maria de Zayas I Soto Mayor.

"One of the handful of important anthologies of German fiction, emphasizing the supernatural, that appeared in the early part of the nineteenth century, reflecting and reinforcing the influence of this material on the Romantic movements in Britain and America. This collection of more than 1600 pages includes early legends (Reynard the Fox, Thyl Owlglass, the Merry Jester and Doctor Faustus [an abridgment of a 1599 work by G. R. Widman]), folk tales and popular traditions recorded by Otmar, Gottschalck, Eberhardt, Büsching, the Brothers Grimm and La Motte Fouqué, and stories by Musaeus, Schiller, Tieck, Langbein and Engel, including first appearances of English-language versions of weird tales by Tieck, as well as an obscure story by la Motte Fouqué. This collection preceded Carlyle's similar, and better known, four-volume anthology by a year." - Robert Eldridge. Barron (ed), Fantasy Literature 1-26.

Hardcover. Illustrations by J.R. Herbert. 4to. Original brown heavily blind-embossed cloth with large gilt devise and modern brown cloth tape spine. iv, 52pp. All edges gilt. Engraved title page, 9 full-page heavy stock engraved plates. Good plus. Bindings a tad edgeworn; some foxing and age toning to preliminary leaves; inner hinges bear old but neat clean brown cloth tape reinforcement, thus tight. Nice first edition despite rather homespun spine of this slim gathering of steel engravings with accompanying text. Intriguing provenance: Laid in is a Typed Letter Signed from the great-great-granddaughter of Ulysses S. Grant, Carolyn Cartee (1947-2016): 1p, 5½" X 8", Encinitas, CA, 10 August 2015. Fine. Cartee spells out her connection to the Union general and U.S. president and records that "This copy of J.R. Herbert's Legends of Venice. came from the library of my grandmother" -- Nellie Grant Cronan (1881-1972), daughter of President Grant's youngest son Jesse R. Grant (1858-1934). Boldly signed at the close. Interestingly, when President and Mrs. Grant took their famous world tour after leaving the White House, they brought with them their son Jesse -- and in 1878 they visited Venice. There's no evidence whatsoever that this copy of "Legends of Venice" was a souvenir they picked up while there, mind you -- but there's no proof they DIDN'T buy it there or had it presented to them and a bookseller can fantasize, can't he?! Just idle, unanswerable speculation.

Cruikshank (illustrator). 8vo full calf illustrated, 253, [2] pp. Top cover detached, and library label on front end paper. Inscription of previous owner on front end paper, tissue guards for illustrations are not present, otherwise a nice clean copy. Roscoe (1791-1871) selected a variety of interesting Italian folk tales, several of which were borrowed by Shakespeare as part of the plots in some of his works. This appears to be a 1st edition 2nd issue of an early Cruikshank work. Contains the title page vignette, which probably distinguishes it from the first issue. Including the title page illustration, The Pomegranate Seed, there are 16 illustrations in this volume, including "The Dead Rider" illustration, which is not in later editions. See Cohn 444.
