Small 8vo, lithograph portrait frontispiece and pp. viii, 176; printed on laid paper; contemporary or original black diced calf, spine gilt, red morocco label, marbled endpapers. Armorial bookplate of Frederick William Cosens. First edition of these witty poems by W.T. Moncrieff (1794-1857, born William Thomas Thomas), an exceptionally prolific dramatiser of novels and other works. Moncrieff ran Astley's in the late teens, where he staged spectacular shows with horses, including wonderful effects such as fire, waterfalls, dioramas and other amazing effects. Although he later went blind and ended his days in the Charterhouse, the present poems were written and published during Moncrieff's days of prosperity and fecundity: they show him reading and translating from Italian, French and German as well as Latin and Greek, and attempting a wide range of different verse forms. His footnotes also reference contemporary English poets such as Byron and Coleridge. The dedicatory poem, and the concluding poem in the volume, are addressed to his wife Mary Anne, who had died in May 1828 at the age of only 22. The book appears to have been printed at his own private press at Saville House, Lambeth: he seems to have lived nearby, because the preface is signed from 5 Union Place, Lambeth. Two copies only in Copac, at the BL and Cambridge UL.…

Etat : Edges rubbed; very good copy. First edition. Small 8vo, contemporary black morocco, skillfully rebacked, gilt decorations and lettering, a.e.g. Frontis portrait of the author after a portrait by R. Reading. Bound in before the portrait is a ten-page manuscript of Monceieff's poem "An Allegory," signed and dated September 20, 1845. A collection of about 100 poems in several forms by the playwright, theatre manager, miscellaneous writer and apparently occasional printer, as well. William Thomas Moncrieff (1794-1857) was a self-described "hack," and a prolific one, who specialized in adapting novels for the stage and who made what little money he could in theatre and literary work of any kind. A few years after this volume was published, Moncrieff began struggling with progressive blindness. Poems contains sonnets, songs, ballads, epigrams and madrigals, mostly on the subject of unrequited love, something at which Moncrieff appears to have had a great deal of experience. At the foot of the final page of text is the imprint "W. T. Moncrieff, Typ. Saville House, Lamberth." Inscribed at the head of the title-page "To J. Miles Esqr / With the Author's best acknowledgements." The manuscript poems go into length about the aging process and loss of sight and is certainly in part autobiographical.

The detailed results and calculations of a series of important experiments on the resistance of water to moving bodies, conducted by Colonel Mark Beaufoy under the auspices of the Society at Greenland Dock from 1793-98. The experiments demonstrated the comparative advantages and disadvantages arising from the form of all kinds of navigable vessels, thus aiding in shipbuilding design, and were the first practical verification in England of Euler's theorems on the resistance of fluids. Only a limited number of copies of the present work were printed, at the expense of Henry Beaufoy, the author's son, and gratuitously distributed to public bodies and individuals interested in naval architecture. The present copy (no. 145) was presented to novelist Thomas Love Peacock [1785-1866].…
