[Charles Agvent]

(JOHNSON, Samuel) B., A. [BIRRELL, Augustine]. APHORISMS ON AUTHORS AND 
THEIR WAYS; WITH SOME GENERAL OBSERVATIONS ON THE HUMOURS, HABITS, AND 
METHODS OF COMPOSITION OF POETS --GOOD, BAD, AND INDIFFERENT. DILIGENTLY 
COLLECTED FROM JOHNSON'S "LIVES" [London]: Privately Printed, 1917. 
First Edition. Original drab boards, printed paper label to spine and 
front cover; 60 pages. One of only 100 copies printed. INSCRIBED and 
SIGNED by Burrell on the front endpaper: "To M.A.R./from an old ruined 
Tenant--/now reduced from an 'original'/Author to a Compiler/AB/January 
1918." While we don't know who "M.A.R." is, the inscription is an 
interesting one as Birrell, a British Liberal Party politician who was 
Chief Secretary for Ireland from 1907 to 1916, was praised for enabling 
tenant farmers to own their property and for extending university 
education for Catholics. Near Fine. (#019100) $150.00
