This is a collection of major early 19th century color plate books with well-drawn and richly-colored engravings in bindings that make a handsome appearance on the shelf. All of these works have appealing plates where the costumes of the various social strata are carefully and colorfully delineated. And two of the volumes--those showing British costumes and the book on Chinese punishments--contain in addition a good deal of diverting background detail that serves as a revealing context for each of the costumes depicted. The content of each of the volumes is worth noting. With a few exceptions the plates in the "Costumes of China" portray ordinary working-class men and women toiling at their trades. We see a bookseller with his wares spread out on a mat women sewing and embroidering a butcher a fisher a barber a man with a "magic lantern" show and a "man striking a small gong during an eclipse" an ancient ritual that the author tells us he was privileged to witness on 17 November 1789. The "Punishments of China" volume is filled with almost gleefully painful depictions of all degrees of disciplinary action from the relatively minor twisting of the ears or chaining to an iron pole to the humiliating ordeal of the wooden collar to methods of execution by beheading or by crucifixion using a cord. The opulent and brightly colored costumes in Dalvimart's volume on Turkey are mostly those of the ruling classes although also represented is a wide variety of native dress from the many regions of the vast Turkish empire of the day which included Bosnia Albania Syria Egypt and parts of Greece. It is particularly interesting to contrast the clothing of the very heavily veiled Turkish and Egyptian women with the much more relaxed style of the Greek women and the nearly immodest garb of the female Bedouin. We also are shown a eunuch an odalisque from the harem a grand vizier various royal functionaries and government officials all splendidly attired. The Russian costumes based on engravings done by C. W. Müller at the request of Empress Catherine the Great are focused on the ethnic dress of the empire's many holdings. The Laplanders and Finns wear clothing that would look familiar to most Europeans but the Mongols in their Oriental dress would be quite exotic. The clothing of the northern tribes such as the Kamchatkans Aleutians Koriaks and Tungoosi will impress the modern reader with their similarity to the traditional dress of Native American and First Nation peoples. The Tchutski woman is even depicted naked to display her tattoos. Bertrand de Moleville's Austrian costumes also illustrate the native dress of the empire's citizens but the illustrations here are less fashion plates than romanticized scenes: peasant couples are shown courting and dancing; Croatian women gossip beside a stream; and a wild-haired Bohemian gypsy whose "profession is not hard to guess" from her state of "déshabillé" flees with her naked and no doubt illegitimate child. Pyne's "Costumes of Great Britain" is one of the most highly praised works in this set and for good reason: the simple working men and women of Britain it depicts are always shown going about their daily tasks in the midst of a well-realized scene. The woman selling "salop" a hot morning beverage is seated at her cart with its urn judiciously located by the watchman's stall surrounded by customers including soldiers and a woman with her market basket. A fireman with an ax and a torch hurries toward his engine company while they unwrap their hose. The potter is at his wheel the tanner is cleaning skins and the bill-sticker posts the winning lottery numbers. The clothing while carefully detailed is almost secondary to the depictions of everyday life. The "Military Costumes of Turkey" illustrates the official regalia "uniform" is much too drab a word for these outfits worn by officers in various regions of the empire. Perhaps the most intriguing plate here is that of the Ladle Bearer a post that was also illustrated in "Costumes of Turkey." What appears to be a man with a giant spoon is in fact the holder of an important military position equivalent to the color-bearer in a western army. We are told that the loss of its ladles is the greatest disgrace that can befall a Turkish regiment: if the two great ladles the size of a grown man that are borne into battle at the head of the troops are captured the regiment must be disbanded and formed anew. Former owner Edward Gordon Douglas-Pennant 1st Baron Penrhyn 1800-86 was a leading figure in the Welsh slate industry; he owned the Penrhyn Quarry the largest slate quarry in the world at the end of the 19th century. He was known for his paternalistic attitude to his employees creating the "model village" of Llandegai to house the quarry workers. It was notable for having "no corrupting alehouse." He was ruthless enough to fire 80 men in 1868 because they did not vote for his son George who was running for a seat in Parliament. Single volumes from this set appear with frequency in the marketplace; full sets show up much less often; sets as handsome and well preserved as the present are rarely seen. William Miller; T. M'Lean; William Bulmer unknown

17643924Paris Grenoble and elsewhere 1764. Very good. Contemporary mottled calf; spine tooled in gold; red edges; marbled endpapers. The first Grenoble imprint lacking the first leaf half-title; both Grenoble imprints cropped close just shaving some text; occasional light foxing.

Later perhaps early 20th-century handwritten table of contents tipped in at front. An attractive Sammelband suitable for exhibition and study. SAMMELBAND OF 30 ANTI-JESUIT TRACTS ATTESTING TO THE "INTRACTABLE" RELATIONS BETWEEN THE FRENCH STATE AND THE JESUITS DOCUMENTING THE OFFICIAL SUPRESSION PROCESS. The earliest documents beginning in 1761 and running into 1762 demonstrate the French government's early steps toward suppression. Many of these edicts demand copies of the order's Constitutions for inspection. Of course it's clear the authorities had already made up their minds evidenced too by their numerous judgments against Jesuit books which appear to have provided abundant bonfire fuel in palace courtyards across the country. We find plenty of references to the Jesuits being kicked out of their homes the confiscation of their property and much on the closure of their schools and plans for their continued operation under state-sponsored control. The penultimate document in our volume is the French king's final blow to the Jesuit order followed by a final edict outlining conditions of Jesuit resettlement in France. If you're expecting sanitized administrative legalese from these documents the amount of invective animosity and hatred may surprise you. Endless referrals to the "so-called Jesuits" underscore a perception that the order must hardly be aligned with the teachings of Jesus. Grievance-laden dressing-downs are ubiquitous. The devastation to Jesuit lives seen here was enormous. Our brief commentaries below merely scratch the surface of what these contain. ¶ The suppression of the Jesuits was a global phenomenon that began with their expulsion from Portuguese territories in 1759. From there it spread not simply through the European continent but through its countries' vast overseas empires. The final blow landed with a papal decree of 21 July 1773 though the Jesuits found some sympathetic European pockets where they managed to continue their mission. The order's official restoration was enabled by a papal decree in 1814 from which the Jesuits eventually regained their European footing. ¶ The depths of blame for Jesuit suppression has been endlessly plumbed by scholars. The Enlightenment is an oft cited factor as was fear of outsize political influence from Rome and royal desires to seize control of Jesuit revenue sources. "Whichever way one analyses the surviving evidence any attempt to provide a single all-embracing explanation of the destruction and ultimate suppression of the Society is fruitless: there was a whole host of reasons which curiously coalesced into a wider international phenomenon" Whitehead. ¶ In France groundwork for Jesuit antipathy had been laid by a deep long-standing theological tension between them and the Jansenists. But everything came to a head with the well intentioned but ill advised trade dealings of one Father Lavalette in Martinique. In trying to improve the condition of his overseas community he found himself hopelessly indebted to French creditors. The Jesuits tried to cover the debts themselves but eventually found themselves in French courts. A Jesuit appeal to the French parlement stacked with individuals not favorably disposed to them was a fatal mistake. "The protracted court proceedings lasted from April to August 1761 and were to prove immensely damaging for the Jesuits as the Society's Institute was examined and ultimately denounced. During the winter of 1761 and the spring of 1762 the parlement of Paris and the fifteen provincial parlements of France deliberated independently on how to deal with the future of the Jesuits within their respective jurisdictions." This decentralized approach to their suppression is vital context for the broad geographic coverage of the volume here. "Enormous power struggles took place in various parlements but the detailed debates of their members were rendered largely irrelevant when on 1 April 1762 the parlement of Paris having found against the Society of Jesus forced the Jesuits to leave the thirty-eight colleges within its jurisdiction" Whitehead. Some provincial parlements continued to shelter the Jesuits-Artois for example from which we have a 1762 decree here-but Louis XV's edict of November 1764 ordered the Society's complete dissolution. ¶ The unusually broad geographic coverage of the volume is impressive. While eleven tracts were printed in Paris nineteen ! come from ten different provincial cities the latter often broadcasting the same language the same grievances and the same judgments as those issued from Paris. Even the spine title hints at the variety of origins: Arrets de divers parts Jesuites. The collection is a telling witness to how demotic anger towards the Jesuits developed into an official campaign of suppression in France. CONTENTS OF THE COLLECTION: 1.

This account is of his trial for murder held on Tuesday the 16th and Wednesday the 17th April 1765. He was accused of murdering his cousin and neighbour William Chatworth in a duel that began from an argument over who had the most game on their estates. During this trial he was found guilty of manslaughter as stated to the title page. The second trial regards Larence Shirley the 4th Earl Ferrers who was accused of the murder of John Johnson his steward. As a result of this trial Laurence Shirley is noted as being the last peer to be hanged in England. Shirley drunkenly shot his steward Johnson following some business conversation and verbal abuse from Shirley. The sentence to be hanged became widely publicised and the tale of a nobleman being hanged and therefore the equality of the law continued to be told for centuries. Therefore this trial is of historical note. The third trial follows Lord Grosvenor suing Prince Henry Duke of Cumberland in 1769. He was suing the younger brother of George III for his affair with his wife Lady Grosvenor. The Duke and Lady Grosvenor were caught in the act of their affair and therefore Lord Grosvenor took the Duke to court. It contains evidence verbatim from the witnesses and includes all arguments and speeches from the counsel and court. The fourth and final trial printed to this collection is Elizabeth Duchess Dowager of Kingston's trial for bigamy. Elizabeth Pierrepont was noted by her contemporaries for her adventurous life style. Her trial was a popular event and attracted 4000 spectators. Elizabeth Chudleigh secretly married Augustus Hervey in 1744. Their marriage was kept a secret so that Chudleigh could continue her position at court and so that Hervey could rejoin his ship. Chudleigh was mistress to both Frederick the Great and of Evelyn Pierrepont 2nd Duke of Kingston Upon Hull. Hervey wished to divorce Chudleigh however she did not wish to acknowledge their marriage which lead to a trial in court. Chudleigh swore she was unmarried in court which then pronounced her a spinster and free to marry. She married Pierrepont in 1769 despite the fact her marriage to Hervey was legitimate. The trial to this pamphlet is a later 1776 trial whereby Pierrepont's nephew Evelyn Meadows brought a charge of bigamy against Elizabeth in order to establish a legal rationale for challenging his uncle's will. Elizabeth was found guilty of Bigamy and was tried as a peer in Westminster Hall. A fascinating collection of legal pamphlets bound together which provide an insight into popular trials during eighteenth century society as well as a wider understanding of the legal system at this time. In a quarter calf binding with marbled boards. Externally in an excellent condition with little to no shelfwear. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright.

An extensive set of the prominent French periodical 'Journal Des Debats' uncommon to see in such a large set. A 29 volume original partial set ranging from 1789-1798 of the French Periodical 'Journal des Debats'.'Journal des Debats' was a French newspaper published between 1789 and 1944 that changed title several times.
