Full-Leather. Etat : Good. 2nd Edition. A good copy of the 2nd edition of Holinshed's Chronicles bound in 3 volumes. This edition is particularly known for its association with William Shakespeare who used it for historical background for example in Macbeth. It lacks the extensive woodcuts found in the 1st, but has ornate initial capitals and head and tailpieces. This set was rebound in full morocco leather in the 1800's. The bindings have flat spines with gilt titles and volume numbers and gilt lining. The boards have gilt lining around the edges and gilt dentelles on the inner edges. Endpapers are marbled and all volumes have silk bookmarks. The leather is worn on the edges, spine joints, spine ends and corners but the bindings are currently sound. Vol I has a small closed tear at the top spine end. Vol II has a scuff across the front board. All page edges are gilted. The 2nd edition brings the history up to the date of publication and, as such, attracted the displeasure of Queen Elizabeth I who had clear views on how her reign and actions should be recorded. The Archbishop of Canterbury was required by the Privy Council in February 1587 to recall the work and reform it. The process of printing large works was very different to that of our digital world and the censorshjp and revision process must have caused chaos at the printers. Sections of the work on Scotland in Vol I and parts of the Chronicles of England are affected and all copies reflect the censorship mess to some extent with odd pagination, cancels, substitution and gaps in some copies. This set is largely complete (lacks title to Chronicles of England and the colophon). Very different thicknesses and colour of the paper suggest where sections have been substituted and there are several instances of mispagination. Contents - Vol I: title and prelims [viii]; text 250 pp; Historie of England in 8 books; [iv]; 202 pp; title The Second Volume of Chronicles [containing Ireland and Scotland] [viii]; Ireland pp 9-61, blank verso; title Irish Historie, [xii]; 183 pp with blank verso; title - Description of Scotland [2]; text pp 3-23 blank verso; title Historie of Scotland [blank verso]; preface 2pp; text 29-404; Annals of Scotland pp 405-464 ; table alphabeticall First to Fourth 53 pp; Colophon January 1597 1p. Vol II: lacks title - text covers William I to Henry VII- [vi]; text 1-798. Vol III: text (from Henry VIII) pp 799 - 1267; Continuation - preface 1268-9, text 1270-1592; third table 58pp; lacks colophon. The contents generally bright, clean and sound. There are some minor areas of staining or marking, some paper repairs, and some mispagination. Please enquire if you would like to see the details on each volume and/or further images.…

No binding. Etat : Good. Large quarto (345 x 240 mm.), full contemporary calf gilt panelled calf, with large ornamental central design on both boards below which is found a blind stamped monograph of 'HL' above which is a coronet, original spine with raised bands, with gilt ruled compartments each with central gilt design, ornate gilt title with frame, repaired.

All maps are in the final third state with pagination on those called for. That of Gloucestershire with repair to tear upper centre, otherwise in good condition. This is the FIRST ENGLISH EDITION of William Camden's 'Britannia'. It was translated from the Latin by Philemon Holland, a schoolmaster of Coventry. All of the engraved plates are the same as those in the 1607 Latin edition. The text of the 1610 edition was not exhausted for some years and during this time the plates underwent two distinct alterations. The first added a compass rose to ten maps (Cornwall, Sussex, Middlesex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Northants, Leicester, Rutland, Lincoln and Warwick) and a circle was added to the cruciform indicator on that of Wiltshire. The third state was created by the addition of plate numbers to all of the maps except Buckingham, Huntingdon, Shropshire, Cheshire, Radnor, Pembroke, Merionith, Denbigh, Flint, East Riding, North Riding, Scotland and Ireland. These thirteen therefore appear in just the one state throughout. That of Brecknock was replaced with another plate engraved by Robert Vaughan.This example of the atlas is one that bears the maps in its final state. It is believed that the numbering of the plates may have been done in preparation for a reprint of the text as the second edition of Philemon Holland's translation was registered at Stationers' Hall in 1625. Although it would be 1637 before it was finally published. The map of Leicester with the plate number added is found in William Burton's Description of Leicestershire, London, 1622. The map of Brecknock in this example is still from the plate engraved by William Kip.Provenance: unidentified blind stamped monograph on both covers of 'HL' surmounted with a coronet, examples of this have been located on other books but without identification being made; bookplate of 'Brown of Waterhaughs' pasted inside front cover, most likely that of Thomas Brown of Lanfine and Waterhaughs (1774-1853), noted Scottish surgeon whose large collection of fossils was left to Glasgow University; manuscript ownership inscription below of James George Frazer (1854-1941), a social anthropologist from Scotland often thought of as one of the founding fathers of modern anthropology; Clive A.

Preferred second edition of theÂgreatest Elizabethan repository of English history which served as an important source for Shakespeare's plays. Folios, 3 volumes bound into 2, bound in full calf, gilt titles and tooling to the spine, raised bands, red morocco spine labels, gilt ruled, woodcut initials and title pages. Separate title pages and pagination for The Description and Historie of England, The Description and Historie of Ireland, and The Description and Historie of Scotland comprising volume 1.ÂWhen this expanded second edition of theÂChroniclesÂappeared in January 1587, the Privy Council, responding to Queen Elizabethâs displeasure at certain passages, ordered the Archbishop of Canterbury to recall and censure the work; as a result extensive cancellations (74 pages) were made of offending sections in Volumes II and III. The censors removed âall references to English intervention in Scottish politics, raised the profile of the Earl of Leicester, and distanced England from Elizabethâs one time suitor, the Duc dâAlençon. Any accounts of trials and executions were altered to ensure proceedings were unequivocally portrayed as being fair and legalâ (Kingâs College London). The work of altering the entire edition of the Chronicles was rather haphazardly carried out, so that the sections affected vary from copy to copy.ÂIn this copy all of the offending sections are cancelled or excised. A nice example, scarce and desirable. An immediate success upon publication, Holinshedâs Chronicles âform a very valuable repertory of historical information. The enormous number of authorities cited attests Holinshedâs and his successorsâ industry. The style is clear, although never elevated, and the chronicler fully justified his claim âto have had an especial eye unto the truth of thingsâ (DNB). As the foremost British history available at the time, the Chronicles did more to shape Elizabethan literature than any English historical work. âThe Elizabethan dramatists drew many of their plots from Holinshedâs pages,â and this second edition is demonstrably the edition employed by Shakespeare as the principal source of his âhistoryâ plays. âBoth W. G. Boswell-Stone and H. R. D. Anders have shown that it was this second edition which Shakespeare employed as the source, sole or part, of ten of his playsâ (Pforzheimer 494 note). âNearly all of the historical plays, as well as Macbeth, King Lear, and part of Cymbeline, are based on Holinshedâ (DNB). In fact, Shakespeare drew not only his plots from Holinshed, but occasionally his phrases. The complete story of the rise and fall of Macbeth can be found in the Scottish history (Part III, pp. 170-76), and the Chroniclesâ eloquent descriptions intimate at times the very wording of Shakespeareâs drama: Macbeth is described as âa valiant gentleman, and one that if he had not beene somewhat cruell of nature, might have beene thought most worthie the governement of a realmeâ; the three âweird sisters⦠women in straunge and wild apparell, resembling creatures of elder worldâ deliver to Macbeth and Banquo the fateful prophecies; and, in the final battle, Macduffe reveals that âI am even he that thy wizzards have told thee of, who was never borne out of my mother, but ripped out of her wombeâ (Whitaker, Shakespeareâs Use of Learning).…
