NO RESERVE Bianchini Lodovico. Della scienza del ben vivere sociale e della economia degli stati: parte storica e di preliminari dottrine. Palermo, Francesco Lao, 1845. In-8° (mm 252x162). XVI, 508 pp. Legatura coeva in mezzo marocchino verde, fregi e titolo in oro al dorso; tagli spruzzati in azzurro. Esemplare in ottimo stato di conservazione, sporadiche lievi fioriture.Prima e rara edizione della parte storica della grande opera dell'economista Lodovico Bianchini, che verrà completata, in maniera autonoma, dall'omonima edizione del 1855. Il trattato elenca ed esamina gli autori di economia politica dall'antichità ai suoi giorni e in esso l'autore ripropone l'approccio genovesiano alla teorizzazione politica, volta a coniugare la vita felice e la felicità pubblica; proprio Genovesi con Serra, Galiani e Verri, viene lodato in ottica polemica con le scuole liberiste inglesi e francesi. Purtroppo per l'autore, però, l'economia era sì cresciuta, ma non nella direzione da lui auspicata: l'economia politica di chi faceva professione di liberismo ed esaltava gli automatismi di mercato - propria dei criticati Smith, Ricardo e Say -poco o niente aveva infatti in comune con l'economia civile di coloro che avevano coltivato - era segnatamente il caso di Genovesi- una scienza normativa all'insegna di un dirigismo illuminato. Einaudi, 482; KressIt, 1129.8° (252x162 mm). XVI, 508 pages. A very fine copy, light foxing. Contemporary green half-morocco, gilt tools and title on the spine, sprinkled blue edges.First and rare edition of this historical part of the great work of the economist Lodovico Bianchini, which will be completed, independently, by the homonym edition of the 1855. The writing lists and examines the authors of Political Economy from ancient times to his days and the author proposes the 'genovesiano' approach to the political theory, aims to combine the happy life and public happiness; as Genovesi like Serra, Galiani and Verri, is praised in a controversy optic with English and French liberalism schools. Unfortunately for the author the economy had grown, but not in the direction desired by him: the political economy of those who made profession of liberalism and praised the market automatism - as the criticated Smith, Ricardo and Say - little or nothing had in common with the civil economy of those who had cultivated - as Genovesi - a normative science in the name of an enlightened dirigisme. Einaudi, 482; Kress Italian, 1129.

(4) A series of adult models of the Four Quarters of the Globe was first created by Kändler at Meissen around 1745, and adapted a few years later by Meyer using children instead. Meyer's series was copied at Chelsea, and it is likely that this Derby series derives from Chelsea rather than the German originals. Provenance: the Cooper Penrose collection.

(2) Although an original Japanese design, Worcester appears to have taken inspiration for these pieces from the rival Bow factory who also used this flared shape.
A rare Worcester leaf pickle dish, c.1753-54, the simple leaf shape decorated in famille vert enamels with a flowering branch to the well, and similar trailing branches to the inside rim, the underside lightly moulded with veining, a minute rim nick, 9.7cm.

Work by early 20th Century English Poet who encouraged Dylan ThomasNeuburg (Victor B.) Bound galley proofs of Wild Honey, a book of poems by Victor B. Neuburg, to be published by The Young Cambridge Press, Bedford, in 1907. Ff 1 - 56. Contains the printed text of some 23 poems, with many corrections added in m/ss and some extra verses and introductions, also in m/ss. Most of the poems are revised versions of work that had already been published by the freethinking publisher William Stewart Ross, who had recently died.There seems to be no record that this book was ever published.Victor Benjamin Neuburg (1883 -1940) was a poet of London Jewish origin who also wrote on the subjects of theosophy and occultism. By the time he wrote these verses he had already fallen under the influence of Aleister Crowley, but their relationship was ended some years later by Crowley's anti-Semitic bullying. In his later years he did much to encourage the work of younger poets, and Dylan Thomas wrote of him: "Vicky encouraged me as no one else had done.. He possessed many kinds of genius, and not the least was his genius for drawing himself, by his wisdom, graveness, a great humour and innocence, a feeling of trust and love that won't ever be forgotten." As a m/ss, w.a.f. Rare. (1)
