Leiden: Jean Elsevier [ Elzevir ], 1658. Hardcover. See Description. Small 12mo. pp. 417, [1]. With extra engraved title page. Bound in period full red morocco. Spine is gilt in compartments; boards are richly gilt with floral borders. The binding is well preserved with only minor spots of wear. All edges of the book block are gilt. The extra engraved title is tightly trimmed with no outer margin. Interior pages contain occasional mild marginal spotting but are otherwise generally clean. Lucans epic poem "Pharsalia" (written during the reign of Nero) concerns the Roman Civil War between Julius Caesar and Pompey. In 48 b.c.e the conflict came to a conclusion with Pompeys defeat on the Thessalian plains of Pharsalus. The poem then extends down to the capture of Egyptian Alexandria. Lucans epic is also noted for containing many elements of the supernatural, including turgid scenes of magic and witchcraft. Translated from the Latin into French verse by the French poet and translator Georges de Brébeuf. The first de Brébeuf edition was published by De Sommaville in Paris (1655). [Willems 827; Rahir 826; Berghman 907 - "Édition belle et des plus appréciées"]

St. Ives: Being The Adventures of a French Prisoner in England (1897) is an unfinished novel by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was completed in 1898 by Arthur Quiller-Couch. Unable to write, Stevenson dictated thirty chapters of the novel to his stepdaughter as a diversion from his debilitating illness. He alternated dictating St. Ives and The Weir of Hermiston but gradually lost interest in the former. The plot concerns the adventures of the dashing Capitaine Jacques St. Ives, a Napoleonic soldier, after his capture by the British. Condition: Corners bumped and rubbed, shelf wear, hinges and spine heal moderately rubbed, previous owner's name on front end paper else a very good copy.
