    Hardcover. Condition: Sehr gut. Erste Ausgabe. xii S., 1 Blatt, 111 S. Rehbrauner handgebundener signierter Kalbledereinband mit 2 farbigen, goldeprägten Lederschildchen sowie 4 goldgeprägten Blumen auf dem Rücken, linienvergoldeten Deckelkanten, goldgeprägten Fileten auf den Spiegeln und dreiseitigem Goldschnitt. Handeinband. Der Vortitel mit handschriftlichem Zitat aus den Fragmenten des Euripides in griechischer Sprache und eigenhändiger Signatur des Dichters A. C. Swinburne (mit Bleistift von fremder Hand auf 1875 datiert). Der symbolistische Lyriker Swinburne (1837-1909) stimmte mit seinem Versdrama einen neuen, eigenen Ton in der englischen Literatur an und erregte durch seine ungewöhnliche Beherrschung von Reim und Rhythmus sofort ungeheures Aufsehen, denn so hatte seit Shakespeare niemand mehr das Englische zum Klingen gebracht: "When the hounds of spring are on winter's traces, / The mother of months in meadow or plain / Fills the shadows and windy places / With lisp of leaves and ripple of rain / [.] Come with bows bent and with emptying of quivers, / Maiden most perfect, lady of light, / With a noise of winds and many rivers, / With a clamour of waters, and with might." Zu seinen deutschen Bewunderern und Übersetzern gehörten Stefan George und Rudolf Borchardt. Der hier vorliegenden Erstausgabe, die als Privatdruck in einer Auflage von nur ca. 300 Exemplaren erschien (und in einem von Dante Gabriel Rossetti entworfenen Leineneinband ausgeliefert wurde), folgte noch im selben Jahr im gleichen Verlag die erste öffentliche, etwas kleinere Buchausgabe (130 S.). Den verso auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz angebrachten Stempel "Bound by Riviere & Son, London" gebrauchte die Werkstatt des Buchbinders Robert Riviere (1808-1882) seit ca. 1880. Frühe Werke mit Signatur des Dichters sind sehr selten. Der Einband an Gelenken und Kanten gering berieben, sonst insgesamt schönes, gut erhaltenes Exemplar. - With handwritten quotation from the fragments of Euripides in Greek language and autograph signature of the poet A. C. Swinburne (dated to 1875 by foreign hand in pencil). The symbolist poet Swinburne (1837-1909) set a new, unique tone in English literature with his verse drama and immediately caused a sensation with his unusual mastery of rhyme and rhythm. His German admirers and translators include Stefan George and Rudolf Borchardt. The present first edition, privately printed in about 300 copies, was originally delivered in a linen cover designed by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. It was followed the same year by the same publisher's first public, slightly smaller book edition (130 pp.). Our calfskin binding, stamped "Bound by Riviere & Son, London", by the bookbinder Robert Riviere (1808-1882), who used this stamp since about 1880. Early works with signature of the poet are rare. The cover of joints and edges slightly rubbed, otherwise it is an overall nice, well-preserved copy. Signatur des Verfassers.

The original gray publisher's endpapers are bound in. The leather is rubbed along the joints and the covers are slightly soiled. 113 pages. The text block is cracked at the title page and there is some minor chipping to the edges of the original endpapers. There is occasional minor soiling and a spot or two of foxing. Good. First American edition.From the library of American Attorney General and Diplomat Wayne MacVeagh, signed by him on the original gray front endpaper. Wayne MacVeagh served as the 36th Attorney General in 1881 under President James A. Garfield and continued to serve under Chester A. Arthur for 3 months after Garfield's assassination. Subsequently, the book is from the library of Lincoln MacVeagh and his wife Margaret with their "Arcades Ambo" bookplate on the front paste down. Lincoln MacVeagh (1890-1972), a Renaissance man, graduated from Harvard magna cum laude in 1913. He went on to study languages at the Sorbonne and became fluent in German, French, Spanish, Latin, Greek and Classical Greek. After World War I he became a director of the Henry Holt and Company publishing firm where he became friendly with the poet Robert Frost. In 1923 he left the firm and founded the Dial Press. His name appears on the imprint of many of their publications. In 1933 President Roosevelt appointed him Minister to Greece. He followed presentation of his credentials with a speech in Classical Greek. While in Greece he conducted excavations beneath the Acropolis and made archeological contributions to the National Museum in Athens. He left Greece in 1941 when the German army over ran the country. From there he was appointed the first US Minister to Iceland where he negotiated agreements for the construction of the Keflavik airfield. In late 1942 he became Minister to the Union of South Africa and coordinated American wartime agencies there. In 1943 he was sent to Cairo as Ambassador so that he could assist the governments in exile of Greece and Yugoslavia. He returned to Athens as Ambassador in 1944. MacVeagh gave secret testimony before Congress concerning the Balkans in 1947, testimony that was an important factor in the formation of the Truman Doctrine. In 1948 as Ambassador to Portugal MacVeagh was influential in admitting her into NATO. In 1952 President Truman named him Ambassador to Spain. President Truman wrote to him on March 9, 1948: "On the occasion of your appointment as Ambassador to Portugal, I would like to make some personal expression of appreciation for the high services you have already rendered your country. During the past fifteen critical years you have served with distinction as Chief of the United states Missions to Iceland, the Union of South Africa, Yugoslavia and Greece. In this last post especially - as Minister from 1933 to 1941 and as Ambassador since 1943 - your scholarly statesmanship and diplomatic judgment have been of the utmost value.".
