316 p. + Carbon Phototype (Woodbury Type) Frontis Portrait, foxed. 4to. Original full purple cloth binding, lettered in gold. Extremities worn without loss. Spine slightly worn. Hardbound. Includes: a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier [BAL 21920F]; and eulogies by George William Curtis & Carl Schurz; an oration by Robert B. Elliott; a sermon by Henry W. Foote; etc. Charles Sumner (1811-1874) was a U.S. Senator from Massachusetts who played a prominent role in the U.S. Civil War era. An avid abolitionist who refused compromise on the issue of equal rights for blacks. He was one of the most powerful members of the Radical Republicans, whose insistence on immediate equal rights for blacks (and punitive measures against slaveowners) caused him to clash with presidents Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Johnson and Ulysses Grant. The mounted photographic frontis portrait of Sumner by Allen & Rowell adds to the value of this work, but it is often overlooked. SHELF W26
Broadsheet, 556:476 mm. Traces of folds.

pp. (2). 304 (8) [Index]. 8vo. 210 mm. Nice modern faux leather binding. Hardcover. The printer apparently transposed the X & the L of the Roman numerals, changing the correct date for this edition of 1768 to 1748. Early ownership of John Evered. The right to receive tithes was granted to the English churches by King Ethelwulf in 855. The Saladin tithe was a royal tax, but assessed using ecclesiastical boundaries, in 1188. Tithes were given legal force by the Statute of Westminster of 1285. Adam Smith criticized the system in The Wealth of Nations (1776), arguing that a fixed rent would encourage peasants to farm more efficiently. The Dissolution of the Monasteries led to the transfer of many tithe rights from the Church to secular landowners, and then in the 1530s to the Crown. The system ended with the Tithe Commutation Act 1836, which replaced tithes with a rent charge decided by a Tithe Commission. The present work gives wonderful details on the tithe "value" of various monasteries, locales, and institutions. Very good. Scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W153
