181817093Edinburgh: Oliver & Boyd 1818. Hardcover. Very good. 12mo. 108pp. Publishers original drab brown cloth; upper board blocked in gilt with title within a floral design. Ink name on front pastedown. Cloth soiled binding lightly shaken gilt rubbed else a very good copy. The date of publication is taken from the Advertisement page 4. This seems to be the first Oliver and Boyd printing of a hieroglyphic Bible and the second Edinburgh printing after the Doig and Sterling edition of 1814. The accepted publicaton date for this Bible is 1818; three other known copies are known to have been issued either in quarter leather and marbled paper boards or in printed card covers. Our copy is in what is clearly publisher's cloth with gilt blocked on the upper board. This combination is unknown before 1826. It is likely then that the textblock while printed earlier was bound after 1826. Exceedingly scarce. Protected in a custom clamshell box. Oliver & Boyd hardcover books
1790260927Boston: Printed by Joseph Bumstead for David West 1790. pp. 358 2 ads. 1 vols. 12mo. Contemporary calf. Joints a bit tender; tiny chip at tail of spine. A beautiful unrestored copy and with Pierce family inscriptions on the endpapers. pp. 358 2 ads. 1 vols. 12mo. With unusual ownership painting on the endpaper identifying the Psalms as belonging to Benjamin Pierce's Book 1791 and depicting a man up a tree by way of ladder either to send apples to another man seated below or to read his psalms aloft in peace-- let the viewer be the judge! <br/><br/>The following leaf includes a calligraphic presentation in 1799 to James Pierce who notes its use by "the society in Brattle Square" which we take to mean the then Congregational and later c. 1805-1876 Unitarian Church on Brattle Street in Boston Massachusetts. <br/><br/>The church distinguished itself by its somewhat relaxed attitude toward rigid Calvinist practices and by iits array of important ministers: Benjamin Colman 1699-1747; William Cooper 1716-1743; Samuel Cooper 1747-1783; Peter Thacher 1785-1802; Joseph Stevens Buckminster 1805-1812; Edward Everett 1814-1815; John Gorham Palfrey 1813-1831; and Samuel Kirkland Lothrop 1834-1876. The parishioners were no less esteemed: John Hancock Samuel Adams Joseph Warren John Adams Abigail Adams Richard Clarke Elizabeth Greenleaf Jane Mecom John Lowell Lydia Hancock Henry Cabot Lodge James Bowdoin 1676-1747 and many others. Hans Gram played organ in the late 18th century. The Pierce family's early days in America perhaps coming as early as about 1620 were spent largely in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and their legacy includes Benjamin Pierce governor of New Hampshire 1827-1830 as well as ten generations spent in what is now an historic landmark of seventeenth-century architecture currently serving as a museum in Dorchester Massachusetts. It is difficult to place exactly which Benjamin Pierce and James Pierce this copy belonged to in the large and lively family. Evans 22351 Printed by Joseph Bumstead for David West unknown books

Dodoens' Cruydeboeck is known for not using the traditional method of arranging the plants in alphabetical order but rather dividing the plant kingdom into six groups Deel based on their properties and affinities. It treated in detail especially the medicinal herbs which made this work in the eyes of many a pharmacopoeia. This work and its various editions and translations became one of the most important botanical works of the late 16th century part of its popularity being his use of the vernacular rather than the commonly used Latin. wikipedia;. 1339018.

5674518 lines on folded self envelope with cancelled stamp signed "GeoCruikshank" Cruikshank writes that at an "elocution class" at the Southwark Literary & Scientific Institution" he had intimated a friendship with MacKay and that the class entreated him to get McKay to address the asembly. Cruikshank writes this letter enclosed with an invitation not included. Small piece missing from the bottom of the leaf not affecting any of the holograph. from Wikipedia: Cruikshank George 1792-1878 English caricaturist illustrator and etcher; younger son of Isaac Cruikshank 1756-1810 caricaturist. Self-taught George early gained a reputation for his humorous drawings and political and social satires. He succeeded James Gillray as the most popular caricaturist of his day. Cruikshank illustrated more than 850 books and contributed to such publications as the Meteor the Scourge and the Satirist. Among the best of his many illustrations are the famous Life in London in collaboration with his brother; his masterly etchings for Grimm's German Popular Stories; and the 12 etchings in Richard Bentley's miscellany which include the notable illustrations of Oliver Twist. In his later years Cruikshank made many drawings depicting the evils of intemperance such as The Drunkard's Children The Bottle and The Gin Trap. Collections of his works are in the British and the Victoria and Albert museums. Charles Mackay 27 March 1814 - 24 December 1889 was a Scottish poet journalist author anthologist novelist and songwriter remembered mainly for his book Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds. unknown books

ESTC T22278; Eddy Samuel Johnson Book Reviewer in the Literary Magazine 26; Hanley Samuel Johnson Book Reviewer pages 134-36. First and final leaves a little dust-soiled; very good copy. 8vo modern brown quarter buckram blue paper boards gilt lettering. With half-title. ¶ A defense of Admiral John Byng 1704-1757 of the Royal Navy who was on trial for treason based on dubious charges. He was found guilty and was tragically executed the following year. Shebbearre 1709-1788 a pamphleteer and contrarian wrote numerous tracts during the political crises of 1755-56 attacking the misadventures of the English government abroad. None according to Shebbearre were more blatantly wrongheaded than the trial of John Byng. Shebbearre's perceived lack of patriotism landed him in prison and he was roundly criticized and lampooned by the likes of Johnson Smollett and Griffith. Johnson eventually sided with Shebbearre in the Byng matter and approvingly reviewed An Appeal to the People in the Literary Magazine in October 1756. ESTC attributes An Appeal to John Byng himself and he did write pamphlets in his own defense but both Hanley and Eddy show convincing evidence that this was indeed by Shebbearre. <br/><br/> London: Printed for J.

15985NATIONAL UNION OF WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE SOCIETIES. PROGRAMME. National Union Women's Suffrage Societies. Men's League. Women's Suffrage Portsmouth n.d. but 1908. <br/><br/>Broadside 335mm x 208mm printed on recto onfy; alittle foxed and with creases where folded but still a remarkable survival. Programme for an evening meeting that began with a musical recital followed by the singing of suffrage songs the words are printed - one of them is by Margaret O'Shea sister of the secretary of the Portsmouth NUWSS societyand then a speech by Lady<br/>Balfour followed by more singing before a rousing closing speech by Alice Abadam Interestingly the 'Vote of Thanks' is seconded by Alderman Sanders LCC who in 1908 was Labour parliamentary candidate for Portsmouth and whose wife Beatrice was financial secretary to the WSPU. We believe this programme may date from 1908 - because there is a mention at its foot of an Exhibition of Banners Fuller's tea Rooms Palmerston Road - and such exhibitions were common after the June 1908 Hyde Park rally. unknown books

From an edition limited to 580 copies this is one of 515 copies in the "Colonial Edition" Inserted leaf from the Bible printed by Robert Aitken Philadelphia 1782 from Deuteronomy; and 8 illustrations. 34 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. From an edition limited to 580 copies this is one of 515 copies in the "Colonial Edition" printed for John Howell Books by the Grabhorn Press and containing an essay by Edwin Grabhorn on typography in America in 1776. This volume contains an original leaf from a copy of the Aitken Bible one of the most celebrated American bibles being the first complete English Bible printed in America. During the colonial era the monopoly on printing English bibles belonged to the Royal Printer and the colonies were supplied entirely with bibles printed in England. The only Bible printed in the British colonies in America was the famous Eliot Indian Bible in Algonquian issued in Cambridge in 1661-63 and reprinted in 1680-85. With the Revolution this monopoly naturally ended and the embargo on goods from England acted to create a shortage. Aitken a Philadelphia printer undertook the task producing the New Testament in 1781 and the Old Testament in 1782. On completion he petitioned the Continental Congress for their endorsement and received it in September 1782. Because of this official endorsement and the reasons behind its production the Aitken Bible is often referred to as "The Bible of the Revolution" Grabhorn Bibliography 131 Printed by Edwin & Robert Grabhorn for John Howell at the Sign of the Open Book unknown books

198016020555Rio de Janeiro: Nova Fronteira Memoria Brasileira 1980. Hardcover. Near Fine. Folio size 124 pp. inscribed by Claudio Arrau. A little-known work on the great coffee plantations of the nineteenth century in the area around Rio de Janeiro. Coffee first started to appear in the area around 1760 and by 1822 there were plantations in the area with more than fifty thousand coffee plants with massive tracts of rainforest being cleared first from the vicinity of Rio and later Sao Paulo for coffee growing. The families owning the plantations built huge homes some of them almost small castles - one of which the Parque Sao Clemente had ceilings so beautiful that special reclining chairs were installed so that they could be better admired. This book explores those fazendas both inside and out to provide a glimpse into this glittering past.
