Inscribed and Signed by the author on ffep "My dear Cabot never forget / that you are the godfather. / W. S. Booth / May 15, 1909" Inscribed to Henry Cabot Lodge. An in-depth study of acrostics located in printed works of the sixteenth century, intended to prove that Francis Bacon was the real author of the plays attributed to Shakespeare. explores the hidden messages and codes within the writings of the famous philosopher and statesman, Francis Bacon. The book focuses on acrostic signatures, which are hidden messages created by the first letter of each line of a poem or text. Booth argues that Bacon used these acrostics to encode secret messages and information within his works. The book includes a detailed analysis of Bacon's writings, including his essays, poems, and letters, as well as a discussion of the historical and cultural context in which Bacon lived. Booth also provides examples of how Bacon's acrostics reveal his political and religious beliefs, as well as his personal relationships and experiences. A fascinating look into the mind of one of history's most enigmatic figures and sheds light on the hidden meanings behind his words. In the early 20th century, William Stone Booth (1864-1926) was engaged in his father's lumber business for many years. Later from 1894-97, he was a branch librarian of the New York Public Library. Booth served as literary adviser to leading publishers, including G.P. Putnam's Sons (1897), the Macmillan Company (1898-1903), Houghton Mifflin, and then became a literary adviser and editor on his own account. Among the authors he worked with were Jane Addams and Theodore Roosevelt. In 1907, he published a practical guide for authors in their relations with publishers and printers. Finally, in 1909, his major work on offer here was published. "As an author his favorite field was the literature and drama of the Elizabethan and Jacobean periods, especially the plays of Shakespeare and their authorship. On this subject he wrote Some Acrostic Signatures of Francis Bacon (1909), The Hidden Signatures of Francesco Colonna and Francis Bacon (1910); The Droeshout Portrait of William Shakespeare, an Experiment in Identification, (1911); Marginal Acrostics and Other Alphabetical Devices, a Catalogue (1920) and Subtle Shining Secrecies, Writ in the Margents of Books (1925). In these works he submitted new evidence and arguments on the Bacon-Shakespeare controversy, but his exhaustive knowledge and judgment prevented his espousal of the opinions of the extremists on either side."

Hardcover. Condition: Near fine. First Edition. The first edition in book form. Out of an edition of 450 copies, this is one of the 200 printed on California bond-paper and signed by the publisher, with eight hand-colored line block relief prints from drawings based on old prints of life in the California Gold Fields. First published serially in "The Pioneer" magazine in 1854-55, these celebrated letters offer an insightful and vivid account of everyday life in a California mining town. Having sailed around Cape Horn to San Francisco, Clappe (1819-1906) joined her husband at Rich Bar in September 1851, and wrote a series of 23 letters between 1851 and 1852 to her sister back home in Massachusetts. Although not originally intended for publication, the letters are a carefully composed commentary upon a masculine society in which "Dame Shirley" wittily and sometimes sentimentally displays her realistic observations of a coarse and barbarous way of life. Clappe later worked as a school teacher in San Francisco, before returning to the East in 1878. Octavo. Original gray paper-covered boards over a natural cloth spine, with a printed paper spine label. A near fine copy, with the dust jacket which appears to have been miscut or neatly trimmed.

Marbled endpapers and all edges marbled. The color of the spines has sunned to burnished brown. With a little snag to the marbled paper on the rear boards of volume V. The bindings are signed by Bickers & Sons of Leicester and So.E. London. This is the first important collected edition of Shelley's works.

A handsome and scarce edition, especially with an ALS from the editor H.Buston Forman to Shelley scholar Neville Rogers.Note: The Neville Rogers papers at Ohio University span from 1861 to 1985 and document Rogers's personal and professional life. The bulk relates to his research and authorship of the Oxford English Texts The Complete Poetical Works of Shelley. Buxton Forman's letter to Neville Rogers appears below. 46 Marlborough HillLondon N.W 23 May 1911Dearest Rogers, Am I indiscreet in asking whether we shall soon have a complete Lysistrata with text and comment? Your "free translation" is one of my most constant companions; and I have alway supposed that you would find a way out for some of the omitted parts. I was not able to go last autumn and see the work produced by Miss Gertrude Kingeton at "the little Theatre"; but I have now got Housemans paraphrase-only just printed-and I have been reading it alongside of your and Hickie (Bohn, 1870). Hickie is dreadful, on the whole; but between the three versions I somehow get the notion that Lysistrata, not-withstanding certain things that from our point of view are marked by levity and scurrility, is in truth a creation of great dignity. That I am not scholar enough to get from the Greek original is light on Aristophanes true attitude towards such a woman as Lysistrata. Did he think her and mean her to be what a woman ought to be to command our respect and admiration? Personally, I have no difficulty in swallowing the details of her administered oath, her instructions to Myrrhina, or even her lesson on the correct way of introducing the "Spartian gitties" who came to trial for peace. But I am out of my depth, and earnestly wanting the assistance of your work in its final form will give me. As to the Housman paraphrase, I feel sure you would be interested in it; and if you have not seen it, I would like to send it to you. Most sincerely yours, H. Buxton Forman (Underscored).

John Strype was already collecting materials for the text by 1703, and an ambitious reprint 'with very great Additions throughout, and illustrated with about 100 large Copper Cutts . requiring much Time and Great expence' was advertised as early as 1708. The advertisement was on the title verso of Hatton's New View of London, a smaller and cheaper book whose popularity actually caused the postponement of Strype's more monumental work. His two folio volumes cost six guineas and the print run was probably at least 500 copies. He included what he believed to be Stow's entire original text, which had become conflated with the 1618 and 1633 editions of Anthony Munday, clearly identifying his own additions in the margins. John Kip, who had been responsible for the views of London buildings in volume I of Mortier's Nouveau theatre de la Grande Bertagne (1707), is credited with about half the 28 engraved views of 'eminent places'. In addition there are two folding general maps of London, one showing the city as it was in Queen Elizabeth's time, 17 ward maps (bks. II-III) and 20 parish maps (bks. IV and VI). The only map to be signed is the Parish of St. Mary Rotherhithe revised by John Pullen and engraved by John Harris. (2)" Christies. John Stow's Survey of London, first published in 1598, brims with amusing descriptions and anecdotes as well as highly detailed accounts of the buildings, social conditions and customs of the time, based on a wide range of classical and medieval historical literature, public and civic records, and Stow's own intimate knowledge of the city where he spent his life. "The reader of A Survey travels with Stow through each of the city's wards and the adjoining city of Westminster, learns about the wall, bridges, gates, and parish churches . . . [Stow] also records the negative aspects of urban growth, in the shape of unsightly sprawl, filth, the destruction of ancient monuments, and above all poverty. His book approaches the thoroughness of an encyclopaedia . . . It is noteworthy that while Camden's Britannia was written in Latin for the educated élite, Stow's Survey was composed in the language of his fellow countrymen." This edition, of 1720, greatly expanded with interpolated amendments by John Strype, is considered the best and most desirable. "Throughout his life at Low Leyton, Strype crossed the River Lea into London each week to meet and converse with his antiquarian friends and to call on his contacts in the book trade. . . . The Survey had been repeatedly revised and enlarged in order to keep up with the changing aspect of the post-fire city, now much expanded and altered in its religion and other ways. . . . Although Strype had arranged most of the work by 1707, and the engravings had been prepared, it was set aside after the publication of Edward Hatton's New View of London in 1708, which seemed to cover much the same ground and was considerably smaller and cheaper. . . . Finally, once the defects of Hatton's book were acknowledged another agreement in November 1716 led to the Survey's publication at the end of 1720. . . . The print run was probably more than 500 copies . . . To quote Merritt, 'By this stage the Survey has a multiple personality, switching with little warning from nostalgic Elizabethan antiquary [Stow] . . . to diligent post-Restoration recorder of events [Strype] and back again' (Merritt, 87)."
