A Lady.
Tales of the Classics: A New Delineation Of the Most Popular Fables, Legends, and Allegories...
Publisher: London: Henry Colburn and Richard Bentley, 1830.
Octavo; three volumes: xxiv, 302; iv, 302; iv, 370 p. 21 cm. Title continues: Commemorated in the Works of Poets, Painters, and Sculptors. Selected and Written by a Lady, for the Amusement and Instruction of Her Own Daughters. First edition. At a time when women were not afforded education, the author undertook this work 'with a view to acquiring, in an eligible and agreeable manner, a competent knowledge of the Grecian mythology, and other subjects therewith connected.' Among its goals was to provide 'an interesting work for the young traveller in his tour through Italy and other countries of classic interest.' A good example of feminist learning and women participants in the Grand Tour. Bound in publisher's boards, brown cloth spine & paper labels. This flimsy, temporary binding has been restored and reinforced to make it appear as new but with greater strength. A very good copy with 19th century bookplates. stock#OB340.

Mireaux, Emile
Daily Life in the Time of Homer
Publisher: New York 1959.
Good+ in Good+ dust jacket Macmillan First Printing Hardcover Usual library defects -- pockets, markings, stamped pages, etc. Jacket protector was taped onto book, causing stains on boards and end papers. Jacket protector is torn on the middle of the back, and jacket has some light soiling, creasing and chipping under the protector, along with some spots. Text pages are in good shape. All in all, a very nice reading copy. ; Ex-Lib; 8vo; 264 pages; This was translated from the French by Iris Sells. The author make judicious use of archaeological findings, and quotes freely from Hesiod's Theogony and Works and Days, as well as from the works of Homer. He covers, as suggested by the title, daily life in the Homeric Age, and he considers the pivotal year of that age about 700 BC. He shows us the background and setting of Homer's world, and goes on to describe the daily life of the manor house, the nobility, those who followed the religious and intellectual professions, the peasants and soldiers, the lower classes and those who cultivated the land, the public workers and craftsmen, women, Popular festivals and customs, and more.

Augustine Bryan (d. 1726) was a classical scholar and Church of England clergyman educated at St Paul's School and Trinity College. The present work went to print just before his death only ten years after his graduation. It was completed by Moses du Soul. Both the Latin and Greek texts were printed primarily from the Paris edition of 1624, though with a few corrections and comments. Spines scuffed, extremities rubbed, short splits to joints near heads on two volumes, tears to head of spines with some minor loss on three volumes, top edge trimmed, occasional browning or toning, but still overall a very good set.
