Seven volumes. 16mo. [108 x 70 x 145 mm]. Uniformly bound in the original publishers' binding of quarter vellum, stained a light green, marbled paper sides, the spines with printed paper labels, plain endleaves and edges. (Rubbed, the labels slightly perished, a couple of gatherings pulled and vol.7 lacking the front free fly-leaf).
London: printed for T. Carnan and F. Newbery, Jun. at Number 65, in St. Paul's Church-yard, 1776-1783
First announced in 1745, Newbery's Circle of Science comprised these seven volumes, which were issued over the next three years and then in multiple editions. Volumes on Criticism, History and Philosophy were advertised, but no editions are known to exist. There were also two supplementary works, An Easy Introduction to the English Language and A Spelling Dictionary of the English Language, but these are not regarded as part of the series. Newbery's name was dropped from the imprint in vol.6, although he signed the dedication to the Marquis of Blandford. The other volumes are dedicated to Prince William Henry, Prince Edward Augustus, Prince George, Princess Augusta, the Marquis of Tavistock and the Earl of Euston.
In the absence of ESTC a trawl through Library Hub locates very few complete sets of all seven volumes. This set is in the original publishers' binding, of quarter vellum with labels printed with the abbreviated title and volume numbers. Vols 1, 3, 4 and 6 conclude with advertisements for books printed for Carnan and Newbery. Vol.4 offers "Grammar and Rhetorick: Being the First and Third Volumes of the Circle of the Sciences: considerably enlarged and greatly improved. Price 3s. bound in the Vellum Manner". A group of five volumes from The Circle of Sciences, 1776-78, similarly bound in quarter green vellum (with blue paper sides), with the same labels is illustrated as fig.3.1 in Stuart Bennett's Trade Bookbinding in the British Isles 1660-1800.
They show sign of use but are in remarkably good condition. There is a word erased in ink on p.14 in vol.1 and vols.2 and 7 have a few pencil and ink calculations. Vols.1 and 6 have the pencil signature of Charlotte Pooten, and vol.7 has the tantalising ink inscription: "Marynise Charlotte Mary Pooten her book Febr'ry 27th 1791 - Palace Kensington".
With the booklabel of "G. G. Cheney - From the Library of George Gardner, 1825-1916". This is probably the Banbury printer George Gardney Cheney.
