The exceedingly rare title-issue of Oxberry's monumental edition(s) of Christopher Marlowe's (1564-1593) dramatic works, containing seven (Jew of Malta, Edward the Second, Doctor Faustus, Lust's Dominion, Massacre of Paris, Tamburlaine the Great I-II) of his eight plays in the first printings since the 17th century. During his lifetime, Marlowe achieved significant literary fame. From 1590, when he first appeared in print, through 1633, at least 16 editions of his works were published, many of which were reprinted. By the mid-17th century, however, the interest decreased significantly, and for the 150 years to come, he was virtually unread. In the years 1818-1820, Oxberry issued separate editions of Marlowe's plays (save for 'Dido'), each containing a short introduction and critical notes. In 1827, the remaining unsold copies were brought together and published, with 'Dido', in the present one-volume edition with a new, general title page. The individual plays, however, are in the original printings from 1818-1820 (and Dido, 1827), but just collected and given a newly dated title-page. Thus, although the collected edition with the new title-page was preceded by Pickering's three-volume collected edition, published in 1826, it may safely be said that Oxberry rescued Marlowe from oblivion, making the present edition one of the absolutely most important editions of his work. The copy belonged to the prominent Danish critic and collector Paul V. Rubow (1896-1972) and carries his ownership signature. Lowndes, 1480.

A History of British Quadrupeds including the cetacea. Second edition revised an partly re-written bin the author, assisted by Robert F. Tomes and Edward Richard Alston.
London, John van Voorst 1874. Gross-8°. XVIII, 474 S., 2 n.n. S.Anzeigen. Mit 160 Xylographien im Text. Dunkelgrüner Originalleinwandband.
Überarbeitete Fassung der Ausgabe von 1837. - Wellcome 2, 138 (dort mit 1836 und only part III) des erfolgreichen populären zoologischen Werkes. - Auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz mit dem handschriftlichen Besitzvermerk "Edward A. Wilson. Oct. 1905", auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz, darunter von anderer Hand in Bleistift "Scott's last expedition. This book was taken to the Antarctic by E.A.Wilson 1910 - 1913". Obwohl die Innenfälze des Vorder- und Hinterdeckels angebrochen sind, das obere Kapital leicht angerissen und der Einbandbezug leicht fleckig, scheint mir persönlich der Zustand des Exemplares zu gut erhalten für einen Artefakten der berühmten Geschichte von Scotts 2. Antarktik Expedition, bei der Edward A. Wilson, zusammenn mit Scott und Henry „Birdie" Bowers am 29. März 1912 verstarb. Wilson (1872-1912), Mediziner und Zoologe, war bereits an der Discovery-Expedition von 1901-1904 als wissenschaftlicher Leiter beteiligt. Zurück von der mehrjährigen Reise erholte er sich im Sommer 1905 in Irland von den Strapazen der unzähligen öffentlichen Auftritten, Vorträgen und Einladungen. Dabei kam er in Kontakt mit dem Naturalisten Barrett-Hamiltonn der ihn als Illustrator für eine neue Monografie der " A History of British Mammals" engagierte. Wilson lebte im Herbst 1905 in Bushey, einem Künstlerort in der Nähe von London. Obwohl er keine akademische Kunstausbildung besass, wurden seine zoologischen Illustrationen zu Standards der Naturgeschichte Grossbritanniens. Über den Verbleib seiner Bibliothek scheint nichts bekannt zu sein. - Revised version of the 1837 edition - Wellcome 2, 138 (there with 1836 and only part III) of the successful popular zoological work. - With the handwritten ownership note 'Edward A. Wilson. Oct. 1905', on the flyleaf, underneath in another hand in pencil 'Scott's last expedition. This book was taken to the Antarctic by E.A.Wilson 1910 - 1913'. Although the inner folds of the front and back cover are cracked, the upper capital slightly torn and the cover slightly stained, the condition of the copy seems to me personally too well preserved for an artefact of the famous history of Scott's 2nd Antarctic expedition, during which Edward A. Wilson, together with Scott and Henry 'Birdie' Bowers, died on 29 March 1912. Wilson (1872-1912), a physician and zoologist, had already been involved in the Discovery Expedition of 1901-1904 as scientific director. After travelling for several years, he returned to Ireland in the summer of 1905 to recover from the strain of countless public appearances, lectures and invitations. He came into contact with the naturalist Barrett-Hamiltonn, who engaged him as an illustrator for a new monograph of 'A History of British Mammals'. In the autumn of 1905, Wilson was living in Bushey, an artists' village near London. Although he had no academic art training, his zoological illustrations became standards in the natural history of Great Britain. Nothing seems to be known about the whereabouts of his library.
