Many memorable photobooks have been derived from this mass of material. None has been more memorable, more influential, no more fully realised than Frank's masterpiece."

Joyce (James) Dubliners, second published English edition, contemporary pencil inscription to front free endpaper, original cloth, spine a little darkened, a few minor marks to covers, light rubbing to extremities, an excellent copy, [Slocum & Cahoon A8n & A10n] 8vo, 1917 [but 1918]. ⁂ The scarce second English edition, we know of only a handful of copies. For the 1914 first edition of Dubliners (published only after an almost decade-long wait) Grant Richards decided to print 1,250 sets of sheets, of which around 500 were sent to B. W. Huebsch in the U.S. for the 1916 first American edition. A second American edition was published in 1917 by which time Grant Richards had run out of English sheets. Under pressure from Joyce (often a stickler when it came to others honouring contracts), Richards decided to publish just enough copies to satisfy the writer at a bare minimum of expense. This he did by importing sheets of the second America edition and binding them up as English copies. It is not known how many copies were produced in this fashion but only a handful have come to auction in the last 40 years.

Babbage (Charles) Reflections on the Decline of Science in England, first edition, presentation copy from the author to James Paget inscribed on front free endpaper, 4pp. list of works at end, light soiling to title, contemporary russia, gilt, worn, spine defective, 8vo, 1830. ⁂ First 8vo edition of Babbage's polemic on the state of science in England, aimed mainly at the Royal Society. He also criticised the government in its lack of support in developing science and proposed reforms for scientific education. A large paper 4to edition was also issued. The recipient is probably Sir James Paget (1814-99), surgeon and pathologist. Paget became a student at St. Bartholomew's Hospital in London 1834 at the age of 16, and in his first year there he showed his promise by discovering in human muscle the parasitic worm that causes trichinosis (the same year in which Charles Babbage began the conceptual design of his "analytical engine"). He became eligible to practice in 1836 and went on to become a distinguished physiologist and one of the fathers of modern pathology. In 1858 he was appointed surgeon extraordinary to Queen Victoria, and in 1863 surgeon in ordinary to Albert Edward, Prince of Wales, being knighted in 1871. Paget certainly knew Babbage and although he presumably met him a few years after this work was published the inscription is undated and could conceivably be almost contemporaneous.

This publication is the third of the series Poetae Christiani veteres, issued by Aldus in Venice between 1501 and 1504. The series had a pedagogical purpose and was conceived as a complement to the series of classical texts Manutius was printing in the same years. Aldus' heirs also published the first edition of Gregory's orations in 1516 (cf. A. Knowles Frazier, Possible Lives: Authors and Saints in Renaissance Italy, New York, 2005, pp. 114-115).
The complicated structure of the volume, in which the sheets with the Latin text interleave with those containing the Greek, is not very common in Aldus' publications. The main problem with this structure is that the length of the Latin text does not always coincide with the Greek, so that to keep the texts facing each other on opposite pages the composer had to leave blank spaces, which sometimes are filled with different texts. Aldus devised this complicated system with a view to making Greek easier to learn. The book is mainly aimed at young students, whose knowledge of Greek was not good enough and who required the Latin text as a learning support (L. Bigliazzi, Aldo Manuzio tipografo 1494-1515, Florence, 1994, pp. 131-132). Literature: Renouard, 46.4; The Aldine Press, 2001, no. 84; Edit 16, CNCE21739; Adams, G-1142; Fock, Bibliotheca Aldina, p. 18; Hoffmann, II, pp. 175-177; Bigliazzi, op. cit., no. 86; Di- onisotti-Orlandini, Aldo Manuzio editore, no.
