LADY CAVENDISH DUCHESS OF DEVONSHIRE : BOOK (1816)

 CHARLES DE LASTEYRIE DU SAILLANT (1816)

ELB 

Early Lithographed Books 1.196

chapter 9 books with pictures p.166-173

the first publication to be discussed here

though the publication is undated,

the address of its imprint

'Imprimerie Lithographique de C. de Lasteyrie rue du Bac No.58'

suggests that it must have been printed between 1817 and 1825

an incomplete copy of the book in

cambridge university library

has a letterpress title-page dated 1816

such evidence , taken along with

the style of the lithographic work,

suggests a dating nearer 1817 than 1825 ²

² The British Library catalogues and H.W. Lowndes, The bibliographer's manual of English literature

(revised by H.G.Bohn, London, 1864), both give the date of this lithographed edition as 1802.

Such a date is quite out of the question. 1802 may have stemmed from a transposition of the last two digits of 1820, a date which would accord with lithographic evidence, or it may have been a straightforward

confusion with an earlier letterpress edition. The Dictionary of National Biography gives the date as 1816.

Both Lowndes and Martin, Bibliographical catalogue , claim that only fifty copies were printed and that they were not for sale
