4 of Richard Whately's Books Dated between 1832-1841

19th century
Description

Richard Whately (1787-1863) was an English academic, rhetorician, logician, philosopher, economist and theologian who also served as Arch Bishop of Dublin for the Church of Ireland. He was a prolific and combative author over a wide range of topics, a flamboyant character and one of the first reviewers to recognise the talents of Jane Austen.

A uniformly bound selection of four of Whately's works, in various editions, published by B Fellowes of London, as follows:-

Introductory Lectures on Political Economy, second edition, published 1832.

Essays (Second Series) on some of the difficulties in the writings of the Apostle Paul, fourth edition, revised, published 1837.

Elements of Logic comprising the substance of the article in the Encyclopaedia Metropolitana, seventh edition, revised, published 1840.

Elements of Rhetoric; Comprising an analysis of the Laws of moral evidence and of persuasion with rules for argumentative composition and elocution, sixth edition, revised, published 1841.

Well bound in full polished calf with gilt bordered diced boards, gilt decorated edges to boards and elaborately decorated spines arranged in 6 compartments by 5 raised bands, compartments 2 and 4. Marbled end papers and page edges. Previous owner's name, W Whately, hand written to preliminary blanks of two volumes.

Internally clean other than an occasional mark, some age toning , foxing to first and last few pages and 3 hinges with split paper. Externally some marks, wear and a little loss to leather to a couple of spine heads. Some loss to gilding and a split down the first 2 compartments of the rear hinge. Small part of title label to Political Economy in compartment 4 is missing, does not affect lettering and part of the label to same compartment of Essays on St Paul appears to have split away and been re-stuck. A smart quartet.

Strictly Vetted Dealers

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

Secure Transit

Our dealers are highly experienced in packing and shipping fragile, high-value antiques. Because you are in direct contact with the dealer, you will be able to easily go through all available shipping and insurance options together to ensure your item arrives safely.

The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

FAQs

Nineteenth-century leather-bound book sets are characterized by bindings made from animal hides, such as calfskin or morocco leather, adorned with gold leaf tooling on the spines. They often feature raised spine bands, gilt lettering, and marbled or gilt edges, reflecting the craftsmanship of Victorian bookbinding.

Victorian bookbinders primarily used tanned leathers like calf, sheepskin, and morocco, alongside cotton rag paper, hemp thread for sewing sections, and 22 to 24-karat gold leaf for decorative spine tooling and titles.

Authentic period leather bindings display natural surface wear, faint oxidisation of gold leaf, hand-sewn spine structures with genuine raised bands, and period-appropriate publication dates printed on the title pages.

Antique leather volumes can be styled in modern interiors by placing them on open wooden shelving, stacking them horizontally on console tables as display bases, or arranging them vertically in a study or library setting to add texture and history.

Store leather-bound books vertically in a climate-controlled room away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Clean spines gently with a dry, soft microfibre cloth, and avoid applying commercial leather soaps or oils without specialist advice.
