1838025895London: Thomas Ward & Co / Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace 1838. First Collected Edition . Full Blue Calf Gilt. Good. Stereotype Reprints Of The First Twelve Tracts Published As Pamphlets By The Society Each Newly Printed Here With 1838 Date On Title Pages For Each Tract And Catalog Of All Twelve Tracts Plus The 'New Series Of Small Tracts" On The Verso Of The Title Page Each Title Page With Price Of Two Or Three Pence. The First Tract Is Commonly Available But The Later Tracts Were Mostly Based On A Popular Theological Interpretation Of Christian Principles And Unreadable By Anyone Involved In Executive Decisions Particularly As War Had Been The Usual Basis Of Promotion And Wealth In All Socities Worldwide . Finely Bound In Polished Blue Calf Four Raised Bands Decorated In Gilt Morocco Spine Label Blind-Stamped Compartments Covers With Four Sets Of Gilt Border Rules With Ornate Gilt Embellishments At Corners Of Two Central Sets Of Rules All Edges Gilt Finely Hand-Marbled End Papers Four Wavy Gilt Lines On All Turns. Binding Worn Page Block Neatly Detached From Binding No Chips Or Tears Could Be Nicely Refurbished. Unfortunately Peace Literature Does Not Start With A Statement Of What A Government Should Hold Truly Essential And Non-Negotiable In Any Peace Negotiation Nor Discusses What Is Negotiable To The Benefit Of The Other Party; Rather Peace Literature Is Like Rules For A Playtime Tea. This Is Fitting As The Grown-Ups And The Government Just Want To Remain In Charge While Looking Good Although Actually Having No Articulable Principles Applicable To Both Parties To State Because They Know No Other Way To Achieve Popularity Or At Least Incumbency. <br/> <br/> Thomas Ward & Co / Society for the Promotion of Permanent and Universal Peace unknown

17773006455London and Paris: Barbou 1777. Joints chafed and head of spine slightly chipped. Duodecimo with a frontispiece to the first work; contemporary dark green morocco sides bordered and spine panelled in gilt all edges gilt. <p><p>The beautifully-printed Barbou edition of Utopia bound as often with the matching edition of Erasmus' Praise of Folly. </p> <p>The friendship between Sir Thomas More 1478-1535 and Erasmus 1469-1536 was one of the great scholarly alliances. More's Utopia 1516 was a revolutionary work of philosophy which inaugurated the entire tradition of the modern imaginary voyage but it was also a book to which a small coterie of his greatest friends contributed particularly including Erasmus. More also played an important part in turn in the writing of Erasmus' Moriae Enkomion - the 'praise of folly' but also a pun on the 'praise of More' - which is said to have been written whilst they were staying at More's London house. It was first published in 1511. </p> <p>This Barbou edition of both works is particularly attractive. The Barbou family was in business from the early sixteenth-century through to the beginning of the twentieth and was known in the later 1700s for their superb editions of the Latin and Greek classics not unlike a French Baskerville.</p> </p> .

Darwin / April 1869" Charles Darwin's son. Light foxing throughout primarily affecting first leaves. VIII 272 1 pp. 1 plate. <br/><br/><em>First substantial English translation with an interisting provenance of Rask’s pioneering Old Norse grammar originally published in Danish in 1811 one of the foundational works of modern comparative linguistics. The present copy belonged to George Howard Darwin son of Charles Darwin distinguished mathematician and astronomer best known for his work on tidal theory and the evolution of the Earth–Moon system. Rask was among the earliest scholars to treat Old Norse Icelandic as a systematic and a historically grounded language rather than a curiosity of antiquarian interest. His work helped establish the methodological basis for what would become Indo-European philology. Rasmus Rask is one of the absolutely most prominent and famous Danish philologers and is very well esteemed worldwide. He was the first to systematically study the ancient Nordic languages and is the discoverer of the relations between the consonants in the Indo-European languages. This discovery served as the foundation of the rules Jacob Grimm later formulated underlying the Germanic and High-German soundshifts. In PMM Rask is identified as "one of the founders of the modern science of language." PMM 266. </em> hardcover

1571D10980Basel: Eusebius Episcopius & heirs of his brother Nicolaus 1571. Hardcover. Very Good. 8vo 165 x 104mm. 36 621 63 pages including final leaf with printers device of the word EPISCOP. Episcopus separated by stork surmounting bishops crozier on verso. Edited by Desiderius Erasmus; revised by Johann Jacob Grynaeus. Contemporary calf over wooden boards with blind-stamped arabesque centerpiece on covers brass catches lacking clasps rebacked spine gilt labeled IRENAEI HAERESES 1571; front joint cracked but cords intact; dark stain on opening leaves paper cracks and small holes in title not affecting text some light dampstaining in hinge toward end. 17th-century signature of Robert Baillie to title the famous Covenanter according to pencil note on front endpaper. 19th-century Chiesa Libera stamp on title; and pictorial bookplate of Douglas and Mildred Horton dated 1962 to front pastedown. Reverend Dr. Douglas Horton married Mildred née McAfee in 1945 who was a prominent female captain in the United States Naval Reserve and later the president of Wellesley College. <br/><br/>Irenaeus theological treatise written c. 180 attacked contemporary Christian heresies particularly Gnosticism and the system devised by Valentinus c. 100-c. 160. Irenaeus treatise also supported the idea that bishops maintained apostolic ties to the era of Christ and that a bishop was the best guide to understanding scripture. Given the very bishop-centric message of this work perhaps it is not curious at all that the Episcopius press expressed interest in printing it In Latin Episcopus is bishop. It was not until the 16th century that Irenaeus Opus eruditissimum was widely disseminated first published in Latin by Froben of Basel in 1526 and in the original Greek in 1570. Erasmus famously edited this Latin edition which appeared a year after the first Greek. In it he removed two annotations which referred to baptism and purgatory and also corrected a passage concerning the fault of Adam. The text itself is a new translation of the first book with an extensive dedication to the Basel Mayor Bernhard Brand and the founder of the Basel Reformed Orthodoxy Church Johann Jacob Grynaeus. Irenaeus Opus appears in 10 editions before this one published in both Basel 1528 1534 1548 1554 1560 and Paris 1541 1545 1563 1567 1570. This volume once belonged to Robert Baillie 1602-1662 a Glaswegian and Presbyterian minister and writer known for his Letters which faithfully recorded public events and his participation via correspondence. Baillie was a leader in the 17th century movement that rejected the Church of Englands Book of Common Prayer. From a reformative point of view Baillie would have found interest in Irenaeus work which recognized the canonical character of the gospels. For a work against the Gnostics it is said to contain valuable historical information and a great many New Testament quotations which are a witness to the New Testament text long prior to any extant manuscript; it is the first systematic exposition of Christian theology--Sarton I 294.
