Francis Thompson (1859-1907) was an English poet and ascetic. After attending college, he moved to London to become a writer, became addicted to opium, and was a street vagrant for years. A married couple read his poetry and rescued him, publishing his first book Poems in 1893. Thompson lived as an unbalanced invalid in Wales and at Storrington, but wrote three books of poetry, with other works and essays, before dying of tuberculosis in 1907. SET/W50
pp. xxi, 650 + Frontis. Thick 8vo. Original full cloth binding. Dust jacket; yellowed st the spine and soiled. Hardbound. Very good. Based on the famous 2nd edition (1874), and newly edited by Marcus McCorison, this is really a wonderful book for any fan of early American Printing. From the DJ: "There are very few books of a historical nature which deserve republication after 160 years of existence. Isaiah Thomass History of Printing in America is one of them. His book is still the beginning point for most investigations into the history of American printing, for he provides the tantalizing clues from which his successors have built there own studies. Further, his personal knowledge of many of the people and events which he describes in a frank and unadorned manner makes excellent and often amusing reading. The History of Printing in America retains the essential beginnings which lead the reader into fascinating byways of American history and the craft which in such large measure perpetuated it." PA53

1816201491816. Slavery and Abolition Clarkson Thomas. An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species Particularly the African 1816 printing one of the foundational intellectual works of the Anglo-American abolitionist movement here issued in a rare Kentucky imprint juxtaposing transatlantic antislavery thought within the slaveholding territories of the American South. Originally published in the late eighteenth century Clarkson's treatise compiled moral economic and documentary evidence against the Atlantic slave trade and became instrumental in mobilizing British abolitionists contributing to the passage of the 1807 Act abolishing the British slave trade. This 1816 Georgetown Kentucky edition demonstrates the continued circulation and influence of British antislavery arguments in the early American republic particularly in a state deeply where slavery was deeply entrenched from the time of its founding. The appearance of this text in Kentucky underscores the gradual growth of abolitionist sentiment reform movements active in the region during the early nineteenth century.<br /> <br /> Clarkson Thomas. An Essay on the Slavery and Commerce of the Human Species Particularly the African. In Three Parts. Georgetown KY: J. N. Lytle for Rev. David Barrow 1816. Contemporary sheep binding. Measures approximately 4¼ x 7 inches. Provenance: signed by Helen Love Van Rensselaer. This edition was issued for Reverend David Barrow a prominent Kentucky Baptist minister known for his antislavery convictions reflecting local reform networks committed to circulating abolitionist literature despite prevailing proslavery sentiment. John Winston Coleman author of Slavery Times in Kentucky 1940 and a major collector of Kentucky slavery and abolition materials described this Clarkson imprint as "one of the rarest of Kentucky anti-slavery tracts" attesting to its scarcity within regional print history.<br /> <br /> This printing embodies the persistence of organized moral opposition to slavery prior to the Civil War. Clarkson an important figure in the British abolition movement provided reformers with a systematic critique of the slave trade's violence and corruption. The Kentucky edition reflects how transatlantic abolitionist discourse was adapted and disseminated within American slave societies contributing to early nineteenth-century debates that would intensify in the decades preceding the Civil War. Some staining and spotting throughout with minor marginal chipping; binding worn but intact. Overall good only. A significant and regionally scarce Southern imprint of a cornerstone abolitionist text. unknown

Royal folio (273 x 398 mm). Gothic type. 248 ff. (incl. final blank). 49 lines. 2 columns. Contemporary south German decoration: each of 4 books opening with an illuminated initial with extensions; rubricated throughout in red and blue. Modern calf, early index tabs. Editio princeps. Magnificent copy of the rare first edition of one of St. Thomas Aquinas's two masterpieces which systematized Latin theology. The printer is commonly referred to as "the printer of Henricus Ariminensis"; the ISTC suggests the Eichstädt printer Georg Reyser (active until 1503; cf. ADB 28, 368f.) known for his characteristic type, or, following Pellechet, Heinrich Eggestein. - "The combination of theology and philosophy which was the basis of scholasticism found its finest expression in [St. Thomas's] writings. Aquinas held that knowledge came from two sources: the truths of Christian faith and the truths of human reason. Each is a distinct source, but the revelation which comes from faith is the greater of the two, and its chief characteristic is that it consists of mysteries to be believed rather than understood" (PMM 30 for the editio princeps of the 'Summa Theologiae' published in 1485). The 'Summa de veritate catholicae fidei contra gentiles' (Treatise on the Truth of the Catholic Faith, against Unbelievers), written in Rome, 1261-64, was composed at the request of St. Raymond of Pennafort, who desired to have a philosophical exposition and defence of the Christian Faith, to be used against the Jews and Moors in Spain. It is a perfect model of patient and sound apologetics, showing that no demonstrated truth (science) is opposed to revealed truth (faith). It is worthy of remark that the Fathers of the Vatican Council, treating the necessity of revelation (Coast. "Dei Filius", c. 2), employed almost the very words used by St. Thomas in treating that subject in this work (I, cc. iv, V). - First leaf a little defective and repaired, minor marginal repairs in first 4 leaves, small stain at a few extreme upper margins, decoration just shaved.
