"Genuine, Interpolated, and Spurious; Together With Numerous Extracts From Them, As Quoted by Ecclesiastical Writers Down to the Tenth Century; In Syriac, Greek, and Latin: An English Translation of the Syriac Text, Copious Notes, and Introduction." William Cureton (1808-1864), a clergyman and scholar, discovered in 1845 the Syriac version of St. Ignatius's Epistles at the British Museum. He was working there as an assistant keeper, examining manuscripts which had recently been brought from the Nitrian desert. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! RELIGION BOX 2

16 p. 8vo. Disbound. William, Atkinson (1758-1846), was ordained priest in 1782, and in 1784 was appointed lecturer at the parish church of Bradford, Yorkshire. At Bradford he was embroiled in various controversies, poetical and political. He kept a printing press in his home and often issued pamphlets of his own on ecclesiastical and political topics under the name of the Old Inquirer. Between 1794 and 1829 he published a further twenty-five pamphlets, all of which took an increasingly reactionary approach to a variety of political, religious, and economic subjects. A consistent target was dissent; at one time he brought out a small serial called The Looking Glass, in which he bitterly expressed his views on this topic. He engaged in a short pamphlet war with `Vindex' (Edward Parsons) on the loyalty of dissenters. Atkinson was described as a `man of rare scholarly attainment, but of somewhat eccentric character' (Venn, Alum. Cant.). He was said to have been of Herculean build. We suspect that the subscribers' list here and the large sums pledged may be fictitious, and part of Atkinson's pamphlet war with a supposed 'Constitutional Association, for Suppressing Seditious Publications'. This pamphlet is VERY SCARCE. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! ENGLAND BOX 5

This is a very good hardcover copy in a very good dust jacket, with only light soil and wear. Small repaired chip to top of dust jacket. This survey of English architecture from the 15th through the 18th centuries, focusses on the background architecture, the smaller houses and farm buildings that were built by carpenters and local people. In particular Rosenberg looks at the Cotswold district and what is known as the "Cotswold type" of building, which dates from 1570 to 1700. Several examples also from Surrey, Sussex and Kent. Cotswold builders used limestone, the other counties used the material they had to hand, which was timber. So these styles involved extensive timber and plaster-work. Illustrated with black & white photos, line drawings and sketches. No text, just a brief foreword and notes to the plates, identifying location and materials. Folio, 13" high X 10" wide, 102 pages. This book will be securely wrapped and packed in a sturdy box and shipped with tracking.

This is Mitford's most famous work. Her talk was said by her friends, Elizabeth Browning and Hengist Horne, to have been even more amusing than her books, and five volumes of her Life and Letters, published in 1870 and 1872, show her to have been a delightful letter-writer. The collections of her letters provide especially useful commentary and criticism of her Romantic and Victorian literary contemporaries. S&S/AI 51743. PAIMP 23
