“Containing ten books, with many Epistles never before
published: it has also the “Panegyric.” These are
the only editions of Pliny’s Epistles that ever issued from the
Aldine press......The edition of 1508 [the first
edition] is curious from being the first work in which the
subscription announces the partnership of Aldus
with his father-in-law Asulanus. It is compiled from some MSS.
which Mocenigo brought from France to Italy,
and which Aldus says are not only very correct, but which one
would suppose to be as ancient as the time of
Pliny himself”.........The edition of 1518 is merely a reimpression
of the first of 1508, with a few typographical errors
corrected.” [see: AN INTRODUCTION TO THE KNOWLEDGE
OF RARE AND VALUABLE EDITIONS OF THE
GREEK AND ROMAN CLASSICS, Vol.II, p.158]. ADAMS

(approximate) illustrations were colored
by Cleland (who printed every sheet) using a silkscreen process (pochoir). Roderick Cave
[THE PRIVATE PRESS] notes, "As an example of
the luxurious book at its most magnificent,
of its furthest remove from commercial printing, the
Overbrook Manon Lescaut is unequaled
among modern private press books, and has few peer
among the books of earlier presses. This
book took six years in the making, and the expense
of the production enormous." Laid-in four page note explains the rational for an American private press printing in French. Raised
bands, red morocco spine printed in gilt. Orig. full brown calf, marbled endpapers. Fine in fine slipcase.

by Howard Pyle, including many full-page plates and incorporating calligraphic text. This was his first commission to completely

in color printing for children’s books, an attempt to emulate the excellent flat color printing achieved by the great English color
printer, Edmund Evans [see: PITZ p52]. Pitz calls Pyle’s work in this florid Art Nouveau style, "an interesting period piece
with more vigor and invention than most British illustration of the time.” Interior contents especially bright and clean. Orig. gilt

number of generic names used by pre-Linnaean authors, but suppressed by Linnaeus, retain here their first preLinnaean significance, and were thus restored to botanical nomenclature. Many examples of Hill's censures are
to be found in (this work), and Druce has pointed out that in this work Hill `"criticizes Linnaeus quite fairly and

Willughby was taught by naturalist John Ray. They then traveled through England and Europe with plans to publish the results of
their studies, but Willughby died from pleurisy during the preparation of this work which is considered the watershed of scientific
ornithology in Europe, revolutionizing ornithological taxonomy by organizing species according to their physical characteristics.
