Description:
Pisa, a Spese dell' Autore, 1854. Hard Cover. 606, [2] page; 24.5 cm. "The most prolific and most incorrigibly Romantic of the many men who wrote historical novels in the period was Francesco Domenico Guerrazzi of Leghorn" (Wilkins, p. 432). The theme of Beatrice Cenci (1577-1599), the Roman woman beheaded for plotting to kill her father, appealed to Romantic writers-- Shelley's tragedy foremost among them. This novel isn't necessarily good history-- the first objective history was by Bertolotti in 1879. This privately printed edition is very rare; the edition usually cited is that of Milan, 1872, a full generation later and after the fall of the Papal government-- the real villain of the novel. The corrupted Papacy was the target of writers about Beatrice, and the Church's censorship made its publication dangerous in 1854. Very good copy, bound in 3/4 leather with marbled-paper boards; top of spine torn. Stock#OB305.

New York: Cheshire House, 1931. Limited Edition. A Very Good Hardcover. Very Good/No Dust Jacket As Issued. Illustrations by H. Charles Tomlinson.
Limited Edition of 1200 this is Number 50. Quarter leather to decorated paper over boards. Top edge gilt; others rough. 4to; 9.75 inches tall; 359 pages. Four Illustrations. Illustrations by H. Charles Tomlinson. Introduction by H. M. Tomlinson. Designed by Richard W. Ellis.
Spine has been professionally and skillfully replaced with a new spine label. The bindings are tight and square. Text clean, light even toning. Minimal shelf handling wear. A satirical novel by Samuel Butler on Victorian society which uses the Swiftian device of setting his satire in a fictional culture which enabled Butler, as the critic Elinor Shaffer has written, 'to analyze the phenomena of religion their point of genesis, while disclaiming all responsibility for their uncanny parallels to certain known religions.'
The novel is one of the first to explore ideas of artificial intelligence, as influenced by Darwin's recently published On the Origin of Species and the machines developed out of the Industrial Revolution. [wiki]
