Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Illustrated by Hay Hutchison (illustrator). Second Edition. (no dust jacket, but is protected by a custom-cut plastic jacket) [slight bumping and modest wear to corners and spine ends; one-time owner's name and circumstances of the book's purchase in ink at the top of the Foreword page; several chow-related newspaper clippings glued to otherwise mostly blank pages in both the front and rear of the book]. (line drawings) As the title says. This is the second edition of a book first published in 1928, one of a number of similarly-titled volumes in the "Popular Dog" series ("The Popular Pekingese," "The Popular Cocker Spaniel," you get the idea; nine different titles, including this one, are advertised at the end of the volume). The co-author, Mrs. Baer (of Baltimore), contributed only Chapter VIII, entitled "The Chow Chow in America." This edition has its own introduction, by Alice O. Fullerton, operator (or perhaps just resident) of "The Nea Kennels, Polshot Farm, Elstead, Godalming, Surrey." ("Godalming" sounds something like what I uttered when I read that address for the first time.) I wonder if the publisher had a subsidiary called Unpopular Dogs Publishing Company?

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. With cancel title page and dedication printed by A. Hart; Page 109-12 are a cancel bifolium printed in London by the Eliot's Court Press. Cf. STC. This copy is bound with bound with, as often, ?Ta t?n Mus?n exodia? (see STC 142). There are two variants of Hart?s issue, the other with line 3 in the title reading ?To the High and? A woodcut portrait of King James VI/I and the royal arms appears on the first leaf. The text is richly adorned with a variety of woodcut ornaments and elaborate initials. A fine copy in 19th c. straight-grain green morocco, richly tooled in gold (hinges rubbed, with light wear at the head and foot of the spine.) The text is in excellent condition with just some light stains on p. 142-3, a small natural paper flaw affecting a few letters on leaf Pp3, and a light water-stain to leaf Xx2. A splendid production, promoted by King James VI and I himself, commemorating the king?s return to Scotland in 1617, where he was presented with poems of welcome and praise, collected in this deluxe volume. In addition to the Latin poems, the book features three English poems: William Drummond?s ?Forth Feasting? and two untitled poems by Alexander Craig (ca. 1567-1624), delivered at Kinnaird, and William Mure (1594-1657), presented at Hamilton; and a number of English speeches. There are also seven poems in Greek. ?Each of the relevant stages in the king?s progress is introduced (with a few exceptions, where space is tight) on a separate and impressive title page, with details of the date and place? ?With over sixty individual contributors, ?The Muses? Welcome to the High and Mightie Prince James? (henceforth TMW) was written on the occasion of the return of King James VI and I to Scotland, after fourteen years, in 1617. Its acclamations are delivered with considerable ingenuity and skill in more than 130 poems, which range in length from short epigrams to much longer hexameter panegyrics. Such an assembly of verse to celebrate an itinerant sovereign has few if any parallels in any Neo-Latin context. Moreover, TMW is presented as a travelogue: a record, with precise dates, of the king?s journey or ?progress? through some fifteen towns and other places in his northern realm, from Dundee to Drumlanrig (two visits are noted for Stirling, and at least two for Edinburgh. The poets form part of a landscape, an unselfconsciously Latinised landscape, which they rejoice to see rejuvenated by James? return? ?TMW is a snapshot of Scotland in a particular summer, or rather perhaps a group photograph (one of the livelier kind). A real work of cerebration as well as celebration by the Scottish towns and cities, TMW is testimony to Scotland?s cultural and educational achievements, at a moment which coincides with the zenith of Scottish Latin verse. Finally?though of course this is the first point that the reader experiences?TMW is a delight to handle and peruse, because of its generous dimensions, its use throughout of a large italic font, its ample spacing, and its clear and dignified announcement of each new place visited and the date of arrival. This fine appearance is hardly surprising, for it was commissioned by the king himself, evidently well pleased by the poetic homage presented to him in these three months, and entrusted by him to Edinburgh?s leading printers. He also made careful provision for the distribution of eighty copies, which may or may not comprise the whole print run? ?The [King?s] itinerary according to TMW is as follows: Dunglass, Seton, Edinburgh, Falkland, Kinnaird, Dundee, Edinburgh a second time, Dalkeith, Stirling, Perth, St. Andrews, Stirling a second time, Glasgow, Paisley, Hamilton, Sanquhar, Drumlanrig, Dumfries. It confines itself to the places where the king was welcomed with ?poesies? or, occasionally, just a speech. The McNeills (?The Scottish progress ofJames VI, 1617?) add to this from their own viewpoint, but only in a single place is there a significant difference. They add, with good evidence, J.
