oards, spine gilt in compartments, gilt-lettered spine label, extremities a little rubbed; duplicate from the Uppsala university library, with small stamp to front free endpaper and last leaf, and printed book label to front pastedown. First Rotterdam edition of this amusing advice on the use of language, Wrst published the same year in Paris. Bordelon identiWes the importance of language for our social standing and position in the world. ‘The tongue is, as it were, the helm of our conduct... If we consider it well, we shall Wnd that speaking is partly the cause of the good and evil that happens to us: we are very often loved or hated, esteem’d or despised, and neglected or feared, upon account of our words’ (p. [iii] of the English edition). Under twenty-seven separate headings such as the babbler, the swearer, the complimenter, the man who praises others, the Xatterer, the promiser, the complainer etc., maxims and advice on modes of speaking are given, ranging from ‘Never ask any man a question, unless you think he can answer it’, ‘Great talkers spoil their best actions, by speaking too much of ‘em’, to platitudes on women: ‘There is no secret, which a woman will keep better, than that of her age’. The book proved popular: an English edition was published the following year under the title Management of the Tongue. Bordelon (1663–1730) was a theologian and proliWc writer, and published on a wide range of subjects. Cioranescu 12888 (Paris edition). Etching, Engraving and Print-Making 20 BOSSE, Abraham. De la Maniere de Graver a l’Eau forte et au Burin. Et de la Gravûre en Maniere noire. Avec la façon de construire les Presses modernes, & d’imprimer en Taille-douce. Nouvelle Édition, revue, corrigée & augmentée du double; et enrichie de dix-neuf Planches en Taille-douce. Paris, Charles-Antoine Jombert, 1745. £1600 8vo, engraved frontispiece, pp. xxxii, 186, [6], with 19 numbered engraved throw-out plates; some light browning and spotting, especially in foremargin; small tear to last leaf; contemporary full mottled calf, spine gilt in compartments, gilt-lettered spine label; head of spine chipped and corners a little bumped; a good copy. First Cochin edition (and third edition in all) of Bosse’s Traité des manières de graver en taille douce, with extensive additions. Bosse’s treatise, the Wrst manual of copperplate etching and engraving and the printing of intaglio plates, was Wrst published in French in 1645. It was aimed both at the professional engraver and at the amateur and is extensively illustrated, with detailed engravings based on Bosse’s own designs. A second edition of 1701 had contained revisions by LeClerc. In addition to a wealth of technical information, the work includes scenes susanne schulz-falster rare books
of the engraving studio and the copperplate press, and several wonderfully informative step-by-step scenes of printmakers at work appear as engraved headpieces at the start of each new chapter. As adaptations were made to all subsequent editions, the work has remained an important introduction to print-making which is of practical use to the printmaker even today. Cochin added several pertinent details on the construction of state-of-the art presses, and re-engraved the corresponding plates. He also included an extensive section on the process involved in colour printing, called by him ‘à la manière noire’, which was based on the three colour technique developed by Le Blon a few years earlier. As Le Blon’s work appeared in print only in 1756 this may in fact be the earliest manual on colour printing to appear in France.
