Dalrymple’s

Knavery

and the design of that compiler and his associates are detected. London: J. Almon,

• ESTC T12257. On Dalrymple, see: The Dictionary of National Biography, XIII, 424–25. Removed from a nonce volume; first and last pages soiled; 6-digit number rubber-stamped on title-page.

TheLEC “Plague Year” Defoe, Daniel. A journal of the plague year. Bloomfield, Connecticut: Done for the members of The Limited Editions Club at the Sign of the Stone Book, 1968. Small folio (26.3 cm, 10.35"). xvi, [4], 270, [3] pp. 8 plates.

eight full-page illustrations for this — gruesome pictures of infected people, mass burials, and “dead carts” — and
33 black-and-white in-text line drawings also. Designer Richard Ellis chose a Granjon font set in the style of the 17th and 18th centuries (with ligatures, old-style numbers, capitalized nouns, and italicized proper nouns); and applied accents of Cloister Black, Janson, and monotype Garamont fonts. Type ornaments are used judiciously and appropriately; interspersed with the text are several charts enumerating the city's dead.
This is no. 150 of 1500 copies.
Binding: Full natural burlap, with the title stamped in gold on a red leather spine label; a large red “X” is painted across the front cover, recalling those marked on the house doors of infected families, and a red “1665" is painted on the back cover. Endpapers and edges are black.
