Verso of front free endpaper with engraved bookplate of Mildred Davey and red morocco ex-libris of Paul Edward Chevalier; front flyleaf with 19th century ink owner inscription of William Mitchell. A Large Paper Copy. Abbey Travel 210; Tooley 245; S. T. Prideaux "Aquatint Engraving: A Chapter in the History of Book Illustration" p. 229. See Peter Thorold "The British in France: Visitors and Residents since the Revolution" p. 64. A very small ink spot just intruding on very bottom edge of a handful of leaves a few vague spots of foxing to map isolated faint offsetting from illustrations but A VERY FINE COPY in all other ways--the text clean fresh and bright the plates immaculate the margins spacious the binding lustrous and sparkling. This is a lovely copy of a work with plates Prideaux considers "among the most beautiful to be found in aquatint engraving" and it comes in a handsome binding commissioned by Mildred Benson Davey and later owned by Paul Chevalier. Issued by a publisher known for his lavishly illustrated travelogues the volume takes us on a journey through the scenic French Pyrenees escorted by Englishman Joseph Hardy who adds his insights on the local population and government gives recommendations on the best mineral baths and describes in word and image the breathtaking scenery. The views are small measuring approximately 90 x 70 mm. but as Abbey notes "part of their charm is certainly in their small size." Sarah Prideaux praised their composition: "The ground is exceedingly fine and there is no line whatever. The colouring is most delicate and all the twenty-four illustrations are exquisite." We can only be impressed by the achievement of the colorist; the detail is cleanly executed the colors are luminescent and the images do not disappoint even under magnification. Thorold notes that this work was "a great success" and was later translated into French. Our copy was bound in a bold modern design at the Chicago workshop founded by in 1926 by John Cuneo 1884-1977. Cuneo hired fine British craftsmen like the Englishman Leonard Mounteney to create bibliophile-quality bindings for American collectors. After apprenticing at the bindery of G. & J. Abbott in Nottingham and studying ornamental design at the Battersea Polytechnic Mounteney worked as an exhibition finisher for Riviere before emigrating to Chicago where he initially worked with Alfred de Sauty at the R. R. Donnelley bindery before joining Cuneo's hand bindery. The present binding was a commission for Mildred Benson Davey 1890-1953 daughter of the founder of Benson & Rixon men’s clothiers. Cuneo also bound books for Chicago retail magnate Marshall Fields. Later our binding was appreciated by distinguished connoisseur Paul Chevalier whose library of beautiful volumes was uniformly characterized by outstanding workmanship and superb condition. The sale of his books in 1990 represented one of the best collections of 20th century bindings brought to auction in the past half century. Laid in is Christie's slip from Chevalier's 9 November sale where this appeared as lot 23 selling for $935. R. Ackermann unknown

A Prospect of His Majestie’s forces as they ly encamped at least three Miles in length on Honslow-Heath in the county of Midlesex in the year 1686

AQ22662London: Sold by J. Oliver.and J. Sellar junior s.d. c.1686 Single engraved sheet folded vertically and housed in modern blue paper wrappers. Some old folds with occasional minor tearing offsetting and browning - especially to gutter. Short tear to the head of spine of the enclosing wrappers. A rare survival of a choice engraved plan of the annual military review of King James II's troops at Hounslow Heath in July 1686. The Restoration settlement of Charles II provided the King with just a small defensive military; a standing army in name only. This was expanded greatly during the 1660s and 1670s largely as a result of the Anglo-Dutch - and Franco-Dutch - wars. But the accession of his brother James II himself intent on expanding his armed presence in part out of necessity given the threat of rebellion as demonstrated by the efforts of the Duke of Monmouth in 1685 led to significant expansion of the English armed forces. Annual military manoeuvres and reviews were hosted at Hounslow Heath each summer between 1685 and 1688 in order to train this enlarged and increasingly professional force and in no small part to demonstrate the substantial military support that the King - always in a politically precarious position in relation to the Church Parliament and landed gentry despite apparent popularity amongst his subjects - could muster. The English puritan minister and journalist Roger Morrice noted in his diaries that several thousand visited the camp - the early-modern equivalent of the earlier chivalric tournament - represented by this engraving. It is perhaps therefore unsurprising that a number of commercial opportunities from prostitution to printing arose from the impressive and novel gathering. Whilst ESTC locates a single copy Oxford of this plan finely engraved for English print and map-seller's John Seller 1668–1698 and John Oliver OCLC adds a further example at Cambridge and reproductions have supposedly been made from an 'original in the Huntington Library' which we have been unable to locate other editions of the same view are also known. A broadside version of this prospect 'printed for and sold by Richard Palmer' - with letterpress titling and woodcut illustration - was also issued. Another also in broadside format and with a variant title with an exact date specified An exact prospect of his Majesty's forces as they are encamped on Hounslow Heath 19 July 1686 London 1686 bears the imprint of 'Walter Davis in Amen-Corner' is recorded by ESTC at three location Ashmolean BL and Oxford.

A REFORMED CATHOLIKE OR A DECLARATION SHEWING HOW NEERE WE MAY COME TO THE PRESENT CHURCH OF ROME IN SUNDRIE POINTS OF RELIGION AND WHEREIN WE MUST FOR EVER DEPART FROM THEM

1598ST16441Cambridge: John Legat 1598. Second Printing. 153 x 98 mm. 6 x 3 7/8". 4 p.l. 375 1 pp. Modern sprinkled calf blind-ruled covers raised bands flanked by double gilt rules brown morocco label remnants of paper library shelf label at tail of spine. Printer's device on title page. Front pastedown with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection; rear pastedown with deaccession stamp of Bradford City Libraries. STC 19736; ESTC 19736. ◆Spine just faintly sunned leaves lightly browned due to paper quality and trimmed a bit close at head grazing headline on a couple of leaves isolated marginal stains or tiny rust spots but an excellent copy fresh and clean in a sympathetic binding with few signs of wear. This was an important work in establishing distinctions in liturgy and doctrine between the Catholic Church and the Church of England written by a moderate puritan whom DNB considers "perhaps the most significant English theologian of his age." Perkins 1558-1602 was one of the most popular voices of his time speaking from a Calvinist puritan point of view; while he could be virulently anti-Catholic he did not believe in repudiating the English church only in reforming it. According to DNB "The genius of Perkins's work did not lie in its originality—his theology represents a conventional recital of Calvinist scholasticism in virtually every respect. His gift lay rather in bringing to a broad audience a variety of theological and moral issues popularizing essentially technical discussions and therefore as Fuller observed humbling 'the towering speculations of philosophers into practice and morality.'" The present work spread his polemical influence beyond England to the Continent; even the Catholic bishop William Bishop admitted he had "not seene any book of like quality published by a Protestant to contain either more matter or delivered in better method." Both the 1597 first edition and our 1598 second printing are rare: no other copies of either edition are recorded at auction by RBH or ABPC in the past 50 years. John Legat unknown

1581ST15633London: Printed by H.

Title page with early ink inscription of Richarde Grosvenor; front pastedown with engraved armorial bookplate of Grosvenor's descendant Hugh Duke of Westminster dated 1884; front free endpaper with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection. STC 11448; ESTC S112728. ◆Vellum somewhat soiled small chip to head of rear cover a little soiling to title page isolated faint foxing or small rust spots but an unusually clean and fresh copy internally in a serviceable binding with antique appeal. This is an infrequently seen polemical treatise from the English Reformation addressing theological arguments over Purgatory and transubstantiation one of 21 such works Fulke 1528-89 produced to refute Roman Catholic attacks on the doctrines of the Church of England. According to DNB "Fulke conceived the project of answering all works of controversy written in English by papists since 1558 and of doing so by the technique of exhaustive rebuttal answering every point large and small made in the writings of his opponents. . . . Fulke was well equipped for this role by his vast erudition especially in patristic literature and his command of biblical and classical languages as well as his painstaking concern for accurate detail and the rules of logical argument." During the last decade of Fulke's life "no year passed without the appearance of one or more books by him in defence of Protestantism and in confutation of the church of Rome. His language was unmeasured and even in that age he was conspicuous for the virulence of his invective against his opponents. His learning was however extensive and sound and he was an able master of controversy." Our copy resided in the Grosvenor family library at Eaton Hall for more than 200 years and later passed into the Fox Pointe Collection of Howard Knohl who in the 1980s began collecting English language first editions from before 1700 amassing a library of more than 4000 titles one of the largest privately owned collections in this subject area. This is a rare book: ABPC and RBH find no other copies at auction since 1975; ESTC and OCLC locate just two copies in North American libraries. Printed by H. Middleton for George Bishop unknown
