=$19.50=

"The Nights" of Straparola consist of an exquisite and
delightful collection of humorous, witty and mirthful
conversations, tales and enigmas, including singing, music and
dancing during the thirteen nights of the Carnival at Venice,
as related by ten charming and accomplished damsels and several
nobles, men of learning, illustrious and honorable gentlemen of
note at the entertainments of merriment and pleasure given by
the Princess Lucretia at her beautiful Palace at Murano.

The masterpiece of Italian prose, The Pecorone of Ser Giovanni,
ranks in celebrity with Boccaccio's Decameron. The great
popularity of the Pecorone arose from the fact that the amorous
stories of love, intrigue and adventure therein contained cover
comparatively fresh ground. Shakespeare borrowed Falstaff from
Ser Giovanni, and The Merchant of Venice is founded on the
first novel of the Fourth Day.

Monzies from drawings by Paul Avril, printed on special paper.
Complete in 4 vols. Newly bound in 3/4 morocco extra, gilt tops
and backs, uncut. Edition strictly limited to 100 sets only.
Privately printed for Societe des Bibliophiles, 1898. =$40.00=

Original French. 12mo. New 1/2 polished brown calf extra, gilt
tooled back, with red levant inlays, gilt top, uncut. London,
1736. =$20.00=

Was this history a mere fiction, very likely the form of it
would have been different. Marianne's reflections would be
neither so long nor so frequent. It would contain more facts
and less morality; in short, the author would have indulged
the universal inclination of the present age, which, in books
of this kind, does not relish abundance of arguments and
reflections.

3/4 crimson levant morocco extra, gilt backs with raised bands,
gilt tops, uncut. London, 1871. =$45.00=

The above Collection of Plays needs no other recommendation
than that they were writ by the incomparable Mrs. A. Behn;
a person whose character is so universally known, and whose
performances have met with such a general applause, that 'tis
needless to bespeak the readers' favor on her behalf.

Contents: The Dutch Lover, The Rover; or, The Banish'd
Cavaliers; The Town Fop, Forc'd Marriage, The False Count, The
Lover's Watch, The Ladies' Looking-Glass to Dress Themselves

Mrs. Behn devoted herself to intrigue and writing for support;
and, as she had a good person and much conversational talent,
she became fashionable among the men of wit and pleasure of
the time. She published three volumes of poems by Rochester,
Etherege, Crisp, and others, with some poetry of her own; and
wrote seventeen plays, the heartless licentiousness of which
was disgraceful both to her sex and to the age which tolerated
the performance of same.

is not original with the author, but it took a good deal of
experimenting to so perfect process as to make the transfers,
on account of their fidelity to detail and their durability,
fit for use as illustrations in such a work. And what
magnificent illustrations they are, embodying all the beauty
and perfection of the specimens themselves!
