Bracebridge Hall or the Humorists.
George Washington Irving writing as Geoffrey Crayon. G. P. Putnam and Son, New York, NY, U.S.A., 1868. Hard Cover. Book Condition: Good. Author's Revised Edition. From Wikipedia: "The book, Bracebridge Hall, or The Humorists, A Medley (the location was based loosely on Aston Hall, occupied by members of the Bracebridge family, near his sister's home in Birmingham) was published in June 1822. The format of Bracebridge was similar to that of The Sketch Book, with Irving, as Crayon, narrating a series of more than fifty loosely connected short stories and essays. The book was well-received by readers and critics. Irving was relieved at its reception, which did much to cement his reputation with European readers. Returning from Spain, Irving took up permanent residence at Sunnyside in 1846 and began work on an "Author's Revised Edition" of his works”. Green cloth on boards, gilded top edge and cover image. Volume is worn all edges, frayed and some tearing at head of the spine, frayed spine ends. 6 ½ H x 4 W. $45.

Specimens of Greek Tragedy. Translated by Goldwin Smith,
Aeschylus and Sophocles. Macmillan, New York 1893. Cloth.  247 p. Some water damage.  Gold lettering on spine.  Cover faded and spotted.  Last page, an advertisement, has a one inch detachment from spine.  Overall binding is pretty tight and text is clean.  Aeschylus (525 BC-456 BC) was an ancient Greek playwright. He is often recognized as the father or the founder of tragedy, and is the earliest of the three Greek tragedians whose plays survive, the others being Sophocles and Euripides. Many of Aeschylus' works were influenced by the Persian invasion of Greece, which took place during his lifetime. His play The Persians remains a quintessential primary source of information about this period in Greek history. He wrote some 70 to 90 plays. Some of which are The Persians, Seven Against Thebes and The Suppliants. Sophocles or Sofokles (496 BC-406 BC) was the second of the three ancient Greek tragedians whose work has survived to the present day. His first plays were written later than those of Aeschylus, and earlier than those of Euripides. According to the Suda, a 10th century encyclopedia, Sophocles wrote 120 or more plays during the course of his life, but only seven have survived in a complete form, namely Ajax, Antigone, Trachinian Women, Oedipus the King, Electra, Philoctetes and Oedipus at Colonus. $35.00
