Description
An account of the resource
The rare book collection in Special Collections at the University of Otago grows - slowly and surely - by purchase and donation. With these new acquisitions Special Collections aims to build on the strengths of the collection such as those traditional collecting fields of 18th century literature, garden history, art and architecture, travel, and works by and about John Evelyn, John Locke, and the English poet Robert Graves.
Over time new areas of collecting have come to the fore, in particular ‘popular culture’ items in the guise of pulp fiction and science fiction (SF). In 2010, Professor Fred Fastier gifted his entire SF Collection to Special Collections. Since then holdings in this field have grown considerably with the acquisition of the Hal Salive SF Collection, some 2400 titles kindly donated by Rachel Salive, and a near complete run of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, donated by Trevor Agnew. ‘Pulps’ continue to be acquired as too the works by the Dunedin-born artist John Buckland Wright. Other books have been acquired because of their historical significance or because they fill a visible gap in the existing collection. Brief examples here include French language works by Racine and Corneille, and Robert Hooke’s Micrographia (1780)
It is by no means true that all rare books are old books. Recent purchases include important modern works that complement the older material. By this means Special Collections will continue to house significant examples of printing and publishing into the next century, will continue to provide an important forum for original research, and will retain its position as an important University-based rare book collection in New Zealand. These volumes are a selection of titles added to Special Collections between 2008 and 2013. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
William Blake (1757-1827) regarded John Milton’s <em>Paradise Lost</em> as an important English epic poem. Twice he was commissioned to illustrate it, applying his own unique interpretation to the text. This is the full-scale colour facsimile of <em>Satan, Sin, and Death: Satan Comes to the Gates of Hell</em>, which Blake completed in 1806. This Arion Press publication of 2004 also contains the first series of 12 images commissioned by Joseph Thomas in 1807, including another watercolour of <em>Satan, Sin, and Death: Satan Comes to the Gates of Hell</em> that differs slightly from the image here. This limited edition publication – no. 29 of 400 copies – is a significant addition to the materials already held in Special Collections of this important British artist-poet.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
John Milton (1608-1674) was blind when he completed the text of<em> Paradise Lost</em>. Over the years, scribal and transmission errors, variant spellings, punctuation, capitalizations, and additions have cast doubt on the text’s reliability. By modernizing the text, reducing inconsistencies, and applying judicious attention to various words and phrases, John T. Shawcross has provided a new and ‘definitive’ edition for Milton scholars. In printing this edition, Andrew Hoyem (of Arion Press) pays tribute to the John Baskerville edition of 1759, and the second edition of <em>Paradise Lost</em> of 1674, the year that Milton died. This was when the poem was divided into 12 books.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
John Buckland Wright (JBW) was born in Dunedin in 1897. He left New Zealand in 1908 and eventually became one of the world’s best book engravers of the 1930s, 40s and 50s. Special Collections aims to amass a comprehensive collection of his works, especially in book-format. Although published in 1960, the 14 engravings made to illustrate Iwan Gilkin’s <em>Le Sphinx</em> actually antedate his first published work, <em>The Collected Sonnets</em> by John Keats (1930). Thus they are JBW’s first book-illustrations, and apart from two, were never previously published. This limited edition portfolio of 250 copies was purchased locally.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
‘Do you not hear something?’; ‘I’m not aware of anything, what should I hear?’ So begins the portion headed ‘The Gift of Magic’ in this full colour facsimile of C. G. Jung’s <em>The Red Book</em>. Jung created this ‘book’ between 1914 and 1930, it being the end-result of a period of self-examination which he termed his ‘confrontation with the unconscious.’ This is the first appearance of what is claimed to be an integral part of the psychologist’s own <em>oeuvre</em>, and as such is regarded by many as the most important publication for psychology in the 21st century. An English translation accompanies the text, which apart from documenting Jung’s own thought-processes, also reveals his abilities as a calligrapher and artist. This facsimile was donated to Special Collections.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Dr Esmond de Beer collected books by John Evelyn (1620-1706), diarist, gardener, and Fellow of the Royal Society. In 1983, de Beer gave to Special Collections his Evelyn Collection of some 1000 works, which included his own meticulously edited<em> The Diary of John Evelyn</em> (1955) and a first English edition of Roland Fréart’s <em>A Parallel of the Antient Architecture with the Modern</em> (1664), which was translated by John Evelyn. In October 2009, a third edition (1723) of this classic work by the French architectural theorist was donated to Special Collections. It arrived somewhat circuitously via a Canterbury bookseller, a Dunedin bookseller, and the Office of the Vice Chancellor. It is in superb condition.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
There are 27 titles relating to Andrea Palladio (1508-1580) in Special Collections, including <em>Descriptio Brevissima Priscae Urbis Romae</em> (1544), his famous <em>I Qvattro Libri dell ‘Architettvra</em> (1581), and an English version called <em>The Elements of Civil Architecture</em> (1864). Palladio is very important in the history of Western architecture, and was well known for his designs of villas. This limited edition publication by The Old School Press of <em>Palladio’s Homes</em> (2009) was a certainty for inclusion. Colourful, with a bi-lingual text, it offers succinct Palladian principles of design and form on the domestic home. Villa Godi (Vicenza) was one of the first projects undertaken by Palladio; it is now designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Description
An account of the resource
The rare book collection in Special Collections at the University of Otago grows - slowly and surely - by purchase and donation. With these new acquisitions Special Collections aims to build on the strengths of the collection such as those traditional collecting fields of 18th century literature, garden history, art and architecture, travel, and works by and about John Evelyn, John Locke, and the English poet Robert Graves.
Over time new areas of collecting have come to the fore, in particular ‘popular culture’ items in the guise of pulp fiction and science fiction (SF). In 2010, Professor Fred Fastier gifted his entire SF Collection to Special Collections. Since then holdings in this field have grown considerably with the acquisition of the Hal Salive SF Collection, some 2400 titles kindly donated by Rachel Salive, and a near complete run of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, donated by Trevor Agnew. ‘Pulps’ continue to be acquired as too the works by the Dunedin-born artist John Buckland Wright. Other books have been acquired because of their historical significance or because they fill a visible gap in the existing collection. Brief examples here include French language works by Racine and Corneille, and Robert Hooke’s Micrographia (1780)
It is by no means true that all rare books are old books. Recent purchases include important modern works that complement the older material. By this means Special Collections will continue to house significant examples of printing and publishing into the next century, will continue to provide an important forum for original research, and will retain its position as an important University-based rare book collection in New Zealand. These volumes are a selection of titles added to Special Collections between 2008 and 2013. Please enjoy.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
On arriving in Africa in 1795, Mungo Park (1771-1806) had one major aim: to discover the source of the Niger River. With two guides, a horse, a compass, an umbrella, and a tall hat (where he kept his notes), he crossed the Senegal basin, and desert regions of Kaarta. Imprisoned for four months, he escaped and eventually reached the Niger River at Segou on 21 July 1796; he was the first European to do so. Park’s <em>Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa</em> first appeared in 1799. An honest and unadorned account of his expedition, it was an instant success. Part of the route Park took is displayed here (the double line of dots, coloured red) in this first edition. As an acknowledged classic in the travel genre, it was a worthy purchase.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Some 45 years after Park’s first expedition, fellow Scot and ‘medical missionary’ David Livingstone (1813-1873) embarked on his own explorations into ‘Darkest Africa’. Although Livingstone was wrong about the source of the Nile, he (re)-discovered other important geographical features such as Lake Ngami (1849), the Zambezi River (1851), and Victoria Falls (November 1855), named after Queen Victoria but previously known as Mosi-oa-Tunya (‘the smoke that thunders’). Livingstone’s <em>Missionary Travels and Researches in South Africa</em> (1857) carries a striking lithograph of the Falls and the classic statement within: ‘Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by angels in their flight.’ Livingstone was the first European to see the Falls. This first edition was purchased locally.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 2012 some 30 architectural books were donated to Special Collections by the family of the late Niel Wales (1927-2011). They included Edward Blore’s <em>Monumental Remains of Noble and Eminent Persons</em> (1826); Thomas Chippendale’s <em>Gentleman & Cabinet-makers Director</em>. 3rd ed. [1862]; and Matthew Dubourg’s <em>Views of the Remains of Ancient Buildings in Rome</em> (1820); each in their own way must have helped Wales in his work as a partner in Mason and Wales, the oldest practising architectural firm in New Zealand. This is a page from Falconer’s<em> Dictionary</em>, which is rich in engravings of the structural details of wooden ships.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
Following the purchase of a 1794 edition of Thomas Paine’s <em>The Age of Reason</em>, Special Collections recently obtained his <em>The Rights of Man</em> (1792), a controversial work written as an answer to Edmund Burke’s <em>Reflections on the Revolution in France</em>. Paine was an advocate of republicanism and this work contains his belief that men had ‘natural rights’. He also urged that individuals had every right to free themselves from governmental tyranny. Such seditious talk caused Paine to be labelled an outlaw in England; he was forced to flee to France.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
In 2009, Special Collections accepted the transfer of over 200 pre-1800 printed books from Waikato University, Hamilton. The books received were particularly strong in 18th century literature, religion (especially religious controversies), science (especially optics) and philosophy. <em>Notorious Frauds of the Romish Priests and Jesuits</em> (1692) is but one title received. This ‘rant’ was anonymously penned by politician Sir William Waller (1639-1699), a reprint of his earlier <em>Tragedy of Jetzer</em> (1680). Waller was himself a ‘notorious’ anti-Catholic. This 4th edition copy is of particular interest. It was once owned by a 17th century female reader – ‘Jane Gray, 1695’ – and there are only two surviving copies: one at Otago; the other at the British Library.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
As a poet, literary critic, translator, and playwright, John Dryden (1631-1700) played a dominant literary role in Restoration England. Indeed, the period in which he lived is often styled the Age of Dryden, a phrase familiar to many literary students. Some of the 18th century titles received from Waikato were dis-bound and needed conservation treatment. Others, like this illustrated edition of <em>Almanzor and Almahide, or, The Conquest of Granada</em> (1735), were much sturdier. Dryden’s heroic tragedy was first staged from December 1670 to January 1671 and eventually printed in 1672. ‘Pretty, witty Nell’ Gwyn, Charles II’s mistress, played Almahide.

Abstract
A summary of the resource.
As a complement to the 3rd edition of Mary Wollstonecraft’s <em>A Vindication of the Rights of Woman</em> (1796), Special Collections secured a 2nd edition of William Godwin’s<em> Enquiry Concerning Political Justice and Its Influence on Morals and Happiness</em> (1796), a work that openly attacked political institutions. Godwin (1756–1836), a radical philosopher who believed that humanity will inevitably progress, married Wollstonecraft in 1797. In the third person, he wrote in the Preface: ‘It is now twelve years since he became satisfied that monarchy was a species of government essentially corrupt. He owed this conviction to the political writings of Swift and to a perusal of the Latin historians.’ Godwin remains an influential figure in 18th century British literature and literary culture.

Rare Delights III: Recent Additions to Special Collections. Online Exhibition
Description
An account of the resource
The rare book collection in Special Collections at the University of Otago grows - slowly and surely - by purchase and donation. With these new acquisitions Special Collections aims to build on the strengths of the collection such as those traditional collecting fields of 18th century literature, garden history, art and architecture, travel, and works by and about John Evelyn, John Locke, and the English poet Robert Graves.
Over time new areas of collecting have come to the fore, in particular ‘popular culture’ items in the guise of pulp fiction and science fiction (SF). In 2010, Professor Fred Fastier gifted his entire SF Collection to Special Collections. Since then holdings in this field have grown considerably with the acquisition of the Hal Salive SF Collection, some 2400 titles kindly donated by Rachel Salive, and a near complete run of the Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, donated by Trevor Agnew. ‘Pulps’ continue to be acquired as too the works by the Dunedin-born artist John Buckland Wright. Other books have been acquired because of their historical significance or because they fill a visible gap in the existing collection. Brief examples here include French language works by Racine and Corneille, and Robert Hooke’s Micrographia (1780)
It is by no means true that all rare books are old books. Recent purchases include important modern works that complement the older material. By this means Special Collections will continue to house significant examples of printing and publishing into the next century, will continue to provide an important forum for original research, and will retain its position as an important University-based rare book collection in New Zealand. These volumes are a selection of titles added to Special Collections between 2008 and 2013. Please enjoy.
