cloth. Wanley, Humfrey (illustrator). 8vo. cloth. xcvi,208; (iv),209-518 pages. Two volumes. Very good condition. From the introduction: "Humfrey Wanley's Diary or Journal, here printed for the first time in its entirety, was kept by him while Library-Keeper in the service of Robert Harley . It records the visits of, or to, booksellers and dealers, and negotiations with them; lists of manuscripts and printed books offered for sale, purchased, or received by gift; conversations with various people about library business; the vists of scholars and others to the Library, either as students there or as sightseers, and so on. It is in fact a record of the day-to-day business of a working librarian and is in no sense, therefore, a diary such as Pepys's or Evelyn's: apart from occasional references to his healther, Wanley's allusions to personal affairs are few ." Wanley was librarian to the Harleys; the diary is a very interesting look at collecting and bookselling during the early 18th century. From the reference library of Philadelphia Rare Books & Manuscripts with their bookplate included.

ILLUSTRATED ENGLISH SOCIAL HISTORY Chaucer's England & The Early Tudors The Master of Trinity's English Social History has proved itself, by its unusual combination of scholarship, literary quality and themes of great human interest, to be a work of universal and enduring value. The first volume retains the introduction which was an important feature of the original edition, and it covers the period from Chaucer's England to the Early Tudors. The illustrations have been selected with scholarly care both for their relation to the text and for their intrinsic interest. Many of them are reproductions of originals in the British Museum and the National Gallery and they form together a collection as fascinating as it is varied. Playbills, book illustrations, portraits of famous people and the houses they lived in, caricatures and advertisements illustrate the life of the people at every level and make an appropriate addition to an already famous text. Size: 8vo.
