| Martin, Benjamin Ellis. "In the Footprints of Charles Lamb." With a Bibliography by E.D. North. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1890. Pp.(xii),193,(26), 16 black/white reproductions of Herbert Railton's and John Fulleylove's illustrations; publisher's cream-colored cloth, gilt (rear cover detached, the spine defective and repaired, covers rubbed and soiled; pp.89-96 are bound out of order (91,92,89,90,95,96,93,94)). Interleaved copy, a blank bound in following each leaf, those within Martin's text blank, those within North's bibliography bearing a profusion of information, including collations, transcriptions of title-pages, and notes, the facing pages of the printed bibliography extensively annotated, with additions, corrections and notes, the compilation apparently assembled over a period of time, as entries in more than one color of ink typically share a page, the work that of a competent, assiduous Lamb bibliographer. Laid inside the rear cover: six leaves of manuscript notes pertaining to Lamb bibliography, three of them on Charles Scribner's Sons stationery, and a clipping from the Feb.6, 1920 issue of "The Bookman's Journal and Print Collector," the article ("A Charles Lamb Discovery") inscribed, "From B.M. 337 W. 87th St., NY," the initials apparently those of Benjamin Martin. [With:] Thomson, J.C. "Bibliography of the Writings of Charles and Mary Lamb: A Literary History." Hull: J.R. Tutin, 1908. Pp.xiv,141; publisher's cloth (covers unevenly faded, slight wear to spine extremities). The first (blank) recto is inscribed in pencil, "Renee Roff used this book to compile her Bibliography of Charles and Mary Lamb, 1979. Nicholas T. Smith." Roff's pencil annotations within the volume are numerous and slight. Both the Martin and Thomson volumes derive from the library of Nicholas T. Smith, who published the Roff-edited "A Bibliography of the Writings of Charles and Mary Lamb. The First Editions in Book Form by Luther S. Livingston. With Appendices: The Books of the Two John Lambs. Contributions to Periodicals by J.C. Thomson" (1979), a new (shrink-wrapped), slipcased copy of which is included. | |||||
