1850355490717558London 1850. Hard Cover. Eighth Edition. Originally published in 1844 by John Churchill. vi 319 pp. The Eighth Edition of this important work on creationism had the "note conclusory" see page vi re-written and is referred to as the Cheap Edition". Publisher's original half-leather binding with marbled boards and matching marbled end-papers. Five raised bands to the spine. Title in gilt to the spine. Former owner's book-plate on the front paste-down. Red speckled page block edges. Two other former owner's neat names on the second free end-paper one of whom has written on the verso: "Carter in a lecture 1954 says that Vestiges of Creation was published first in 1844 and is probably by Chambers". Overall a VG copy. Vestiges influenced Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Chambers a self-taught Amateur Naturalist was the anonymous author of Vestiges which was highly influential in mid 19th century scientific and political circles. Vestiges was much maligned by its Victorian critics but it has fared well at the hands of modern historians and is now perceived as an important piece of Victorian literature. It was originally written anonymously due to its controversial nature. At the time of cataloguing I can find no UK editions of this title being offered for sale and a only a couple of US editions from a roughly comparable era. Scans invited. hardcover

1688655L26London: Randall Taylor; Henry Hills 1688. First edition. Disbound. Good. 8.5" by 6.5". None. Two politically fuelled pamphlets regarding the fallout following James II's Penal Laws. These pamphlets directly relate to the Seven Bishops' petition. The Seven Bishops were members of the Church of England who were tried and acquitted for seditious libel. The bishops include William Sancroft the Archbishop of Canterbury. The seven men opposed James II's 'Declaration of Indulgence' which was supposedly a step towards establishing religious freedom in the British Isles. Many suspected that it was to suit the Catholic King's own agenda. The first pamphlet to this set regards the petition and is stated as being written by 'A true member of the Church of England.' There were two versions of this work published in the same year an eight page edition and an eleven. This is the eleven page edition. This work addressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the other six men tells them that they are disrespecting the King by protesting his divine right. The individual discusses the Act in detail and the author tells the Bishops that they have 'divided yourselves from a loyal judicious and religious part of the church you profess yourselves members of'. ESTC Reference R4980. The second work to this set is 'an Answer to a Paper Importing a Petition of the Archbishop of Canterbury and Six Other Bishops to His Majesty' which has been attributed to Henry Care. Care was a Whig propagandist who wrote many anti-Catholic works. It is believed that he founded 'The English Liberties'. ESTC R35842. Both pamphlets collated complete. Two contemporary sources regarding the religious and political problems during the seventeenth century and an interesting insight into contemporary opinion regarding the Seven Bishops. It was this event that contributed heavily to the anti-Catholic riots of 1688 and the Glorious Revolution. Disbound as is usually called for. Externally sound with minor chips to the extremities. Large loss to the front wrap of 'An Address'. Prior owner's inscriptions to the top corner of all leaves as pagination from when they were originally bound. Internally both pamphlets are generally firmly bound. Pages are slightly age toned with the odd handling marks and spots. Good Randall Taylor; Henry Hills unknown
