Good or better complete copies of both works.<br /> <br /> Early edition of what still remains the authoritative version of the Book of Common Prayer comprising the official liturgy of the Anglican Communion and other historically related Christian churches. The first prayer book published in the wake of the English Reformation appeared in 1549 during the reign of Edward VI. That work was revised in 1604 during the reign of James I and again in 1662 during the reign of Charles II. While revision and supplementation has continued into the present era the 1662 edition of which the present copy is essentially an early reprint remains authoritative as the official prayer book of the Church of England.<br /> <br /> Despite the discrepancy in dates which appear on the title pages of the present edition the Book of Common Prayer and the Psalms of David comprise a single publication as noted at the collective title and confirmed by the signatures. The metrical Psalms by Sternhold and Hopkins often bound with the Book of Common Prayer is a separate work. <br /> <br /> Provenance: Bookplate of the Royal Institution of South Wales noting the gift of Col.

Front hinge just starting; a fine handsome copy. 4to contemporary diced brown Russia marbled paper endpapers gilt decorations and lettering. With half-title. An Oxford Prize Poem introduced by a synopsis of the primary points covered including: "Lamentation over the miseries of Palestine . . .

1809List3525New York and likely Connecticut 1809. Three letters 1795 1795 and 1809 totalling approximately eleven pages; the larger two letters measuring approximately 7 ¾ x 12 ¼ inches and the smaller 1809 approximately 7 ¾ x 9 ½ inches. 1809 letter Near Fine; earlier letters having some damage especially at folds and margins intersecting with text very good plus. Overall excellent. Three letters from English immigrants to the United States sent to their cousin “Miss Gifford†in Duffield Derbyshire. The earliest letter from A. Bakewell describes a stroll along the Battery and compares the classes of people in the two countries:<br /> <br /> “My son Jon’s favorite walk as well as mine is the battery it is a delightful it commands a very fine view of all the ships that come up to this harbour the opposite shores of Long Island Governors Island & Staten Island which are very fertile one very small Island in the water with a number of small boats & barges which are generally sailing is extremely pleasant the Idea that sometime or other I may see the ship arrive which will contain my beloved Husband renders it peculiarly interesting to me . the more I see of this country the more I like it; the lower classes of people are much better informed & from the high price of wages enabled to live more comfortably than in England it is very uncommon to see a beggar here: one very great inconvenience is the badness of servants they are ten thousand times worse than in England . I could get some that is decent here the manner of the ladies here is much more vulgar than the women in England & they were generally very ignorant there are however some exceptions .†February 1795<br /> <br /> The writer’s husband is William Bakewell who writes to Miss Gifford in 1809 from what is probably Tolland Connecticut which he renders as “Tolland Ford†reporting on the state of the economy and the 1807 Embargo Act:<br /> <br /> “I fear the intercourse between this country & England will be stopped for a time . during the continuation of this Embargo which has caused a total stagnation of business . I have since seen Mr Kinder a friend of my Brother’s & who for some time his home being in the country boarded with my Brother’s family in New York. He assures me that with respect to everything he observed there was as much economy as ever compatible with decency & that their table in particular was furnished in a more frugal stile than that of any Merchants he was acquainted with. . I hope to hear from you as frequently as is practicable while the communication is between the two countries for this government will I expect pass a law to stop the intercourse with both England & France until they cease to capture American vessels. . My son Thomas is gone to NYK to wind up his adventure to New Orleans. He had 5000 dollars in silver with him. In the present uncertain state of mercantile affairs it is doubtful whether Mr Kinder will like to make any further adventure.†January 1809<br /> <br /> Lastly a 1796 letter from another cousin a sister of “A.†opens by relating her arrival to New York City during an outbreak of yellow fever:<br /> <br /> “the worst of all was as soon as we missing land which we had so often wish’d to see the Pilot came on Board & told us of the fever being so bad at N York & that every Body that could had left it. I did not know in what situation I should find my Brother & his family or whether I should find them at all but when we came to Anchor a Boy came on board & told us my Brother was at Philadelphia . my sister & Thomas was at long Island just missing the East river. . we staid a fortnight at the enormous expence of 30 Dollars a week for our family we then came to New York the sickness being rather abated we could not get a House or part of one on long Island they being all engag’d at very high prices to people who had fled from New York & for miles round there was not a room to be had. We had thought of going to Albany but there was so many people gone with goods that we suposed the Market was full my Brother was not return’d we at last took this House at a very great rent till May it being a very Healthy situation we came here the following week & have been here ever since.â€<br /> <br /> The yellow fever epidemic hit New York City in 1795 and surged several times prompting the city to finally create a Board of Health in 1805. This is not the author’s only complaint about New York as compared to England:<br /> <br /> “the Country what I have seen of it is not so pleasant as England there being no hedges all posts & rail fences appears strange to us there are a many very good houses 1 2 & 3 miles round this city which are very pleasant they are built of wood & painted white which looks very pretty & might be made delightful if the inhabitants had any taste for gardening but that the Americans & Dutch have no notion of I could be very comfortable at New York if we was in a way of getting a good deal but we have been spending a great deal and getting but little indeed we have sold most of our goods but the scarcety of cash occation’d by the Fall trade being spoilt with the Fever oblig’d every body to take Bills at a longer date than is usual so that we have rec’d very little there is a vast many English here I have met with some very agreeable acquaintances which I shall be sorry to leave .†March 1796<br /> <br /> She also comments that “there is many Blacks here some of the Merchants keep 8 or 10 of them & I believe they are the best servantsâ€. Though New York City had been home to a large community of freed African Americans following the British Army’s 1779 Philipsburg Proclamation most of them had been resettled in Nova Scotia after the Revolutionary War. The author was more likely observing enslaved people as New York did not pass its gradual abolition law until 1799 and emancipation was not completed until 1827.<br /> <br /> Of interest to historians of immigration to early republic New York City. unknown

Brunet III 260. Originally published in 1741 this highly imaginative Swiftian journey to a fifth underground continent is set in the Norwegian town of Bergen where a penniless student visits a strange cave falls into a void and ends up on the subterranean planet Nazar which is inhabited by sentient monkeys thinking trees goat philosophers and double basses that communicate musically. According to Lewis Utopian Literature p. 92 Niels Klim is the first important fictional use of the astronomer Edmond Haley's theory suggested in a paper published by the Royal Society in 1692 that three concentric hollow balls nested inside the earth account for the magnetism of the poles through their movement and that openings at the poles provide access to hidden worlds through a series of caves. Nor was Haley alone: from the 1600s to the early 1900s the notion of a hollow earth was treated seriously by leading scientists including Johannes Kepler and Athanasius Kircher. N. B.

Joints and extremities a little rubbed tiny crack just beginning at top of front joint two tiny chips to foot of spine very minor offsetting and foxing to map a couple of patches of marginal foxing but INTERNALLY AN ESPECIALLY FINE COPY--unusually clean fresh and surprisingly bright--in a good-looking well-preserved binding.<br/> <br/> In especially desirable condition this is quite a scarce travel account by the English antiquary explorer and clergyman Francis Vyvyan Jago Arundell 1780-1846 who visited the so-called Seven Churches of Asia also called the Seven Churches of the Apocalypse and the Seven Churches of Revelation locations in present-day Turkey of central importance to St. John and the Book of Revelation. In that book John who was a threat to Roman officials as leader of the new Christian religion in Asia had been banished to Patmos where he was visited by an apocalyptic vision directing him to write to the churches at Ephesus Smyrna Pergamum Thyatira Sardis Philadelphia and Laodicea commending their successes pointing out their failures and prevailing upon them to repent. These seven Turkish churches reflect a surprisingly significant role in the region's early Christian history with some scholars maintaining that as many as 18 of the 27 New Testament books were written there--and Arundell's narrative would have helped to raise the popular understanding of this importance. Following his marriage to the daughter of the British consul-general at the Levant Company in Constantinople Arundell became chaplain to the company's trading center in Smyrna now Izmir in 1822. From there he embarked on a series of tours through Asia Minor including places that according to DNB "until then had for the most part not been described by any European traveller." The present work is the product of the author's first tour which included two separate excursions between March and September of 1826. Despite being a clergyman Arundell's interest in these sites was primarily archaeological and historical and this work includes his firsthand descriptions of the ruins he encountered facsimiles of Greek inscriptions found there and narratives of the arduous journeys between sites that were well off the beaten path. This work is surprisingly scarce in commerce suggesting that copies were often read with avidity. John Rodwell unknown

In 1801 Richard Alfred Davenport 1776-1852 an aspiring poet and energetic author began independently issuing an annual compendium of contemporary English poetry. Davenport believed that England lacked an annual like the French Almanach des Muses that reflected the depth and strength of its poets. He solicited the help of Sir Egerton Brydges Thomas Park and Anna Seward among others for obtaining contributions. The initial volume was a work of almost 500 pages containing hundreds of poems organized by Original Poetry including sections dedicated to sonnets Ancient Poetry the contribution of Brydges Fugitive Poetry Criticism a Catalogue of Poetry and Poetical Biography. The annual volumes continued for five years though not exactly on schedule; following the fifth volume it was altered to being issued biennially for the final three volumes making eight total at which time it ceased publication. Among the contributors to these first five volumes are Leigh Hunt twelve poems Anna Seward about 25 poems Brydges Anna Maria Porter Charlotte Smith Thomas Campbell Erasmus Darwin William Hayley Amelia Opie Robert Bloomfield Thomas Park M. G. Lewis and many minor but interesting poets whose works may have otherwise eluded attention. Davenport was an enigmatic and eccentric character who was responsible for several other interesting works. His wife was novelist Selima Davenport. London: Printed for F. and C.
