BENNETT ([Anna Maria], Mrs.): - The Beggar Girl and her Benefactors. Second Edition.

London, Printed at the Minerva-Press, for William Land, Leadenhall-Street. 1799, 5 volumes. 12mo, 173 x 101 mms., pp. [iv], iv, iii [iv blank], 298; [iv], iv, 312; [iv], iii [iv blank], 353 [sic, for 343, 344 blank]; [iv, ii, 297 [298 blank]; [iv, iii [iv blank], 380, including half-title in each volume, contemporary sheepskin, gilt rules across spines, red leather labels. A very good to fine set. The Beggar Girl and her Benefactors was first published in 1797 by Lane in seven volumes, with a Dublin edition in three volumes in the same year. The work was "a record length of seven volumes… a record even for its publisher, the Minerva Press, which was notorious for its three- to five-decker novels… Contemporary critics, however, well aware of the financial considerations, criticised Bennett's fiction for its length, its many digressions, and its overly intricate plot. They appreciated her, on the other hand, above all for her rich gallery of characters"(cited in Art Imitates Life: The Life & Novels of Anna Maria Bennett by Sanna Fogt), The Critical Review made the same point: "Whenever quantity shall become the criterion of merit, we shall perhaps be able to estimate the value of this work more agreeably to the author's wishes than at present.... There are scenes of tenderness, delineations of character, and some attempt at humour, which will not fail to please: but upon the whole the story is eked out with a strange excess of digression and with many superfluous characters." The comment on the number of volumes as being a "record length" seems to have been made by someone who had not read, or heard of, Samuel Richardson's Clarissa, Pamela, or Sir Charles Grandison.

PERINI (Lodovico): - Trattato della pratica di Geometria. In cui oltre i principi di essa vi sono molti insegnamenti intorno alle varie Misure di Terre, Acque, Fieni, Pietre, Grani, Fabbbriche, ed Altor, Seconde l'uso di Verona, e dit altre Citta d'Italian, raccolti dall'Opere di molti Autori, e dall' Experienza a comodo degli Studiosi di tal Profession da Lodovico Perini Pubblico Ingegnere, ed Architetto Veronese

In Verona, Per Pierantonio Berno Stampatore, e Librario nella Via de' Leoni, 1727. 4to, 22 x 150 mms., pp. [x], 152, with woodcut vignette on title-page, and numerous engraved vignettes in text, original limp paper boards, with title in ink (but faded) on front cover, visible stitching; front hinge open with cords exposed, covers a bit soiled, small defects on spine, but a reasonable copy with a very clean text. This was one of the last publications of the gifted architect and mathematician, Lodovico Perini (1685 - 1731). He studied practical geometry and perspective with the Gasparo Bighignato guide and later Domenico Rossetti. Perini aimed to make the principles of geometry applicable to practical activities and undertakings in land management, surveying, architecture, etc. The woodcut engravings in the text provide very useful visual guides to measuring dimensions, calculating volume, and constructing tools and implements.
