Hardcover. Etat : Good +. Two volume set. Bound in original publisher boards with marble paper covers. Printed by W. Bulmer and Co. Shakespeare Press, 1796 first UK edition. Volume One is written in ink 'From the Author' on first blank page. SIGNED BY AUTHOR GEORGE LEWIS WAY. Pagination: No half title .Volume One : Title page, Sonnet to G.E.; xxxviii, 280 pages; Volume Two, dated 1800. 340 pages. The author had died before this was published 4 years later, therefore the title page is slightly different , as with all the Second Volumes, added to the title is ' Selected and Translated into English Verse by the Late Gregory Lewis Way with A Preface, Notes and Appendix by G.Ellis Esq.' It was this 'G.E.' who George Lewis Way had dedicated the sonnet to when he was alive in 1796. Illustrated with wood engravings vignettes by Bewick and others. The covers are not attractive. Board to volume one is loose, there are no paper left covering the spines. Volume one has marble paper covered boards, Volume Two is plain. The publisher usually issued books that they printed with a basic board covers for the owners to have bound as they see fit. If the new owners could afford to have them bound in full leather, they would do so. Volume one was gifted by the author, probably to a friend or to another scholar of little means. This set are still in the original publishers bindings, the paper inside is uncut, fore-edges slightly dusty, but the text is very clean excepting the sheet with the authors signature which has some browning. A Unique set . Size 24.5 x 17 x 6 cm [9.5 x 7 x 2.5 inches] The book is a collection of twenty five tales from medieval French troubadours 'consequently anterior to our English historical ballads and metrical romances, of which they are probably the originals'. The publication's history was beset by difficulty; the translation was executed, as noted to the title of the second volume, by Gregory Lewis Way (1756-1799). However, he died before the publication of the second volume. It was therefore seen through the press, with an extensive introduction, notes and an appendix, by English poet and antiquarian George Ellis (1753-1815), better known for his later - and more successful - Specimens of Early English Metrical Romances (London, 1805). The work is better known, however, for its woodcut illustrations; it contains some of the final work of John Bewick (1760-1795), who was commissioned for the complete work, but died after cutting just 'four sets of head and tailpieces for volume one' (Tattersfield). The cutting work was completed by Charlton Nesbit in London, and in the workshop of his brother, Thomas - with four sets of head and tailpieces executed by his apprentice Luke Clennell. Bulmer's efforts were rewarded critically, if not commercially (although the work did reach a second edition, in three octavo volumes, in 1815). The British Critic, for example, noted on publication of the first volume, that 'The volume.is beautiful in its form, as well as pleasing in its contents. The typography belongs to the first class of Bulmerian work, and the vignette ornaments are aptly formed on subjects relative to the history of chivalry, and executed on wood by the Bewicks, the younger of whom unfortunately died while this work was preparing for the press'.

Pagination: Volume One : Title page, Sonnet to G.E.; xxxviii, 280 pages; Volume Two, dated 1800, 340 pages. Illustrated with wood engravings vignettes by Bewick and others. The books have been tastefully restored with new leather covers, the design reminiscent of the Arts and crafts period. The spine however is the original which has been carefully relaid on top. Retaining the original marble end papers. Although they are obviously a set of two the bindings are very slightly different. Volume Two is slightly wider, 5mm, than volume one; one volume has gilt fore-edges, the other marble; the boards, one volume has one band, another has two.Volume One is remarkably clean with just the odd brown mark, volume two is a little more spotted-see photographs.  [They have been separated at some point in their history. But I managed to find the missing volume due to their distinctive bindings from another book seller]   A very good clean nice set inscribed by George Ellis who helped with the publication of the work-see below].
