Ballinger Bible in Wales 26. An annotated edition of the Bible prepared by Peter Williams a Welsh Calvinistic Methodist famous as an itinerant preacher. This is not only the earliest Welsh Bible issued with a commentary but the first edition of the Bible printed in Wales. The prohibitions of the Bible-patent apparently did not apply to texts with a commentary. In 1766 Peter William began to prepare his commentary taking as his model the English Bible and in the same year a prospectus was issued. The work was sold in instalments each part costing 1s. and the publication extended over four years 1767-70. The Old Testament and the New Testament with metrical Psalms appended were comprised in fifteen parts of which 8600 copies were printed. The Apocrypha were printed last and in a smaller number the purchase of this section being at the subscriber's option: hence some copies omit the Apocrypha. The price of the complete work was £1. This Bible was printed for the editor by John Ross of Carmarthen a Scotsman who had learnt Welsh and become an active printer and publisher of Welsh books. The earliest appearance of his imprint is 1763 and it occurs as late as 1807. <br/> <br/> Mr. P. Williams, gan J. Ross hardcover

Slim quarto 20th-century full brown calf raised bands red morocco spine label; frontis. pp. 18. $1850.First edition of a detailed account of the sensational trial of the ""London Monster"" with an engraved frontispiece hand-in-waistcoat portrait of the accused elegantly bound by Joseph Zuffant of Monastery Hill Bindery.100 years before Jack the Ripper London was in an uproar over another serial attacker a predator responsible for numerous ""wanton outrages perpetrated upon unprotected females"" in which the assailant would make obscene comments before using a concealed weapon to slice his victim's clothes and often her person. ""When consternation was greatest however it was reported that the cowardly assailant was in custody. He proved to be one Renwick or Rhynwick Williams now generally remembered as 'the monster.' The assault for which he was arrested was made in St. James's Street about midnight upon a young lady Miss Porter who was returning from a ball to her father's house. Renwick struck at her with a knife and wounded her badly through her clothes accompanying the blow with the grossest language. The villain at the time escaped but Miss Porter recognized him six months later in St. James's Park. He was followed and brought to Miss Porter's house. The young lady crying 'That is the wretch!' fainted away at the sight of him"" Griffiths The Chronicles of Newgate. While Mr. Williams staunchly maintained his innocenceand in fact had an alibi for some of the other attackshe was indicted at the Old Bailey found guilty at the July 8 1790 trial documented here and sentenced to two years' imprisonment.

The first issue number of The World on Thursday January 4th 1753 included the following introduction by Editor Edward Moore.<br /><br /> Having thus satisfied the public of my amazing abilities and having no doubt raised its curiosity to an extraordinary height I shall descend all at once from my doctorial dignity to address myself to my readers as the author of a weekly paper of amusement called The World. My design in this paper is to ridicule with novelty and good-humour the fashions follies vices and absurdities of that part of the human species which calls itself ""The World"" and to trace it through all its business pleasures and amusements. But though my subjects will chiefly confine me to the town I do not mean never to make excursions into the country; on the contrary when the profits of these lucubrations have enabled me to set up a one-horse chair I shall take frequent occasions of inviting my reader to a seat in it and of driving him to scenes of pure air tranquility and innocence from smoke hurry and intrigue. There are only two subjects which as matters stand at present I shall absolutely disclaim touching upon; and these are religion and politics. The former of them seems to be so universally practised and the latter so generally understood that to enforce the one or to explain the other would be to offend the whole body of my readers. To say truth I have serious reasons for avoiding the first of these subjects. A weak advocate may ruin a good cause. And if religion can be defended by no better arguments than some I have lately seen in the public papers and magazines the wisest way is to say nothing about it. In relation to politics I shall only observe that the minister is not yet so thoroughly acquainted with my abilities as to trust me with his secrets. The moment he throws aside his reserve I shall throw aside mine and make the public as wise as myself. My readers will I hope excuse me if hereafter they should find me very sparing of mottoes to these essays. I know very well that a little Latin or Greek to those who understand no language but English is both satisfactory and entertaining. It gives an air of dignity to a paper and is a convincing proof that the author is a person of profound learning and erudition. But in the opinion of those who are in the secret of such mottoes the custom is as Shakspeare says"" more honoured in the breach than the observance""; a motto being generally chosen after the essay is written and hardly ever having affinity to it through two pages together. But the truth is I have a stronger reason for declining this custom: it is that the follies I intend frequently to treat of and the characters I shall from time to time exhibit to my readers will be such as the Greeks and Romans were entirely unacquainted with. It may perhaps be expected before I dismiss this paper that I should take a little notice of my ingenious brother authors who are obliging the public with their daily and periodical labours. With all these gentlemen 1 desire to live in peace friendship and good neighbourhood; or if any one of them shall think proper to declare war against me unprovoked I hope he will not insist upon my taking further notice of him than only to say as the old Serjeant did to his ensign who was beating him' I beseech your honour not to hurt yourselfremovedremovedremovedremovedremovedremoved hardcover

Williams was among those captured in an Indian raid on Deerfield Massachusetts Bay Colony Feb. 29 1703/4. Upon his return he wrote an autobiographical account of his captivity and return which went through eight printings over the next century though Dickson labels this ninth printing as the "6th Edition with Additions". Although most of the content here was taken from earlier Boston printings Dickman added Taylor's chronology in his earlier 1793 "Fourth" edition and Taylor's new "Historical Sketch of Deerfield" is first published here. Besides Williams' account pp. 1-125 this printing includes five additions: 1 A sermon Williams preached at Boston in 1706 upon his return pp. 127-148; 2 An appendix by Williams' son Stephen who was also captured recording the names of those taken those killed in the raid and a chronology of "this mischief done by the enemy in Deerfield from the beginning of its settlement to the death of" his father in 1729 pp. 149-158; 3 An appendix sent to the publisher by Rev. John Taylor of Deerfield who continues the chronology of the "mischief done by the enemy in Deerfield" from 1729 "to the conclusion of the last French War" pp. 159-197 as well as his new "Historical Sketch of Deerfield" pp. 197-220; 4 "Some Observations" by Rev. Thomas Prince of the Old South Church in Boston originally published in the 3rd edition providing some biographical information about John Williams pp. 220-224 and 5 "A Sermon delivered in the first parish in Springfield on the 16th of October 1775 just one hundred years from the burning of the town by the Indians" with the running head of "A Century Sermon" preached by Rev. Robert Beck of Springfield 225-248. Note that the date on the title page is 1800 but Taylor's note about his appendix is dated as Jan. 1st 1802 p. 198.
