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

1681705L21London: Nathaniel Thompson 1681. First edition. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 11" by 7. None. A fine very scarce political and religious tract written at the peak of the Popish Plot and therefore ant-Catholic hysteria in England and Scotland. A very scarce pamphlet. ESTC reference no R19980. This is setting A referred to by the ESTC with signature mark 'A' on A1 under 'es' of 'unless'. The first line of p.4 reads 'Lastly if he has' with a lower case 'i'. This work was written in response to Elkanah Settle's pamphlet 'The Character of a Popish Successor'. Settle was a poet and playwright who took an active share in the anti-Popish agitation. However later he exposed Titus Oates and with the Revolution of 1688 his political leanings were more towards the Whigs. This is an analysis and response to Settle's pamphlet. Following this work Settle later recanted his 'The Character of a Popish Successor' and cited the danger of the opinions he expressed. Bound in a limp cloth binding. Externally very smart with just the occasional marks. Internally firmly bound. Pages are bright with just the odd light spots. Very Good Indeed Nathaniel Thompson hardcover

18421203561842. Paperback. Very Good in No Dust Jacket dust jacket. Please see Images re this item as I am unable to read Armenian but from my research this appears to be a small single sewn light card covered small almanac. Size 4" x 2. 3" 10cm x 6cm Internal tables and saints’/feast-day listings etc etc. Illustration and decorations in b/w. The line beneath the title on the cover likely specifies the ecclesiastical or liturgical context rather than an author The imprint below the date appears consistent with a Venetian Armenian press probably the Mekhitarists in Venice who produced enormous quantities of small Armenian devotional and educational printing in the 18th–19th centuries. However I can say not of this with 100% certainty. Beige/black printed covers with border decoration front and back cover and on the spine. A scuff to the rear cover removing part of the border decoration but otherwise Very Clean. Internally AS NEW! This little booklet was hidden away and has survived remarkably!. Anyone who doen't wish to buy this but could enlighten me further- please get in touch. Assuming it is as described - pretty scarce. See Images; Thin 32mo 4" tall . paperback
1901AL-46<p>An ink inscription on the first page suggests that the person was a student that the National Park Seminary in Forrest Glen Maryland and that he put the book together in January 1901. The notebook is an art history course shown in cyanotype from ancient Egyptian tombs and obelisks in 3800 B.C. to Raphael's Cherubs on the Sistine Chapel to the then Modern English School of Gainsborough and Rossetti. It may be interesting for current scholars of art history to see how one student put together his reference notebook and the captions.</p><p>The notebook's covers are loose and worn with paper missing off the front back and spine. Some of the pages are loose as well. It is not quite full. I get the impression that space was left for more images. The photos are generally in fine condition.</p>

Plymouth : G. P. Hearder 1843. Duodecimo modern marbled papered boards with gilt-lettered Morocco title-piece to upper board; pastedown with ex libris of G. & N. Ingleton; original printed blue wrappers bound in title with ownership inscription of noted Plymouth Dissenter Robert Govett 1813-1901 pp. 58 folding colour map; occasional light foxing a very good copy with a newspaper article on the Siege of Plymouth cut from the Western Daily Mercury 11 December 1874 mounted on 3 leaves at rear. A scarcely recorded account of the Siege of Plymouth by the Royalists in the Civil War locally published in the bicentennial year of the bloodiest episode in the city's history. Although the source documents on which the narrative is based are not explicitly stated it seems likely that the diary of John Syms Puritan naval chaplain and librarian was one of them. Having refused to surrender to the Royalists the citizenry of Plymouth signed a solemn covenant to fight to the last man; although poorly armed the defenders managed to overcome a formidable attacking force commanded by Sir Richard Grenville. The town held out for the next four years until the Parliamentary army finally prevailed over the Royalists. With the death of Cromwell in 1658 and the restoration of the monarchy in 1660 however retribution was exacted by King Charles II against the leaders of the Plymouth resistance many of whom were imprisoned.
