Cloth with just the slightest hint of wear and soiling; internally fresh and clean.<br/> <br/> This is an excellent copy of a very personal collection of poetry by a female writer of the late 19th century offered in a signed limited edition. Born in Northern Ireland Frances Margaret Milne 1846-1910 spent most of her life in San Luis Obispo California where she worked as a librarian and volunteered tirelessly for social causes. Much of her writing was political in nature: the 1893 publication "A Woman of the Century" a collection of biographies of "leading American women in all walks of life" said she had "made a profound study of economic and political questions and with pen and voice . . . and had aided in extending the discussion of the relations of progress and poverty and of individuals and society." She also published a number of fictional and poetic works; this was her second collection of poems. They primarily deal with themes of love and loss and while the poems have some of the formulaic gentility one would expect from a writer of this period and background the genuine emotions behind them are clear. By turns ebullient and poignant the text has works—such as the poem "To My Beloved at rest May 11th 1804"—that reflect the grief and joy of Milne's intense personal experiences. Copies of the book are not so readily available especially in the condition seen here. Charles Wells Moulton unknown

052110N. p. : N. p. 18-19th century. Soft cover. Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Original b/w lithographer print of Medina. 215x175 cm. In Arabic. 1 p. A FINE LITHOGRAPHED MEDINA Medina al-Munawwara ali sâhibhâ afzal al-tahiyya. It shows Medina city with its building and walls besides its environment. Medina is the capital of the Al-Madinah Region in Saudi Arabia. At the city's heart is al-Masjid an-Nabawi 'The Prophet's Mosque' which is the burial place of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. Medina is one of the three holiest cities in Islam the other two being Mecca and Jerusalem. Medina was Muhammad's destination in his Hijrah migration from Makkah and became the capital of a rapidly increasing Muslim Empire under Muhammad's leadership serving as the power base of Islam and where Muhammad's Ummah Community composed of both locals and immigrants from Muhammad's original home of Mecca developed. Medina is home to three prominent mosques namely al-Masjid an-Nabawi Quba Mosque and Masjid al-Qiblatayn 'The mosque of the two Qiblas'. Muslims believe that the chronologically final surahs of the Quran were revealed to Muhammad in Medina and are called Medinan surahs in contrast to the earlier Meccan surahs. <br/> <br/> N. p.

Front pastedown with armorial bookplate of Albert Ehrman; rear pastedown with Ehrman's faded ink stamp bookplate of "Bibliotheca Broxbourniana / J. P. W. E. / 17 March 1949 / ex dono A. & R. E." STC 24184; ESTC S118505; USTC 507892. Text washed and pressed but except for the first and last few leaves without the typical resultant darkening and fading otherwise an extremely attractive copy still fresh the margins especially wide and the binding lustrous and scarcely worn.<br/> <br/> First issued in Latin in the same year as our edition this is the major work of English puritan Walter Travers 1548 - 1625 applying the Calvinist presbyterian system of ecclesiastical government to the episcopal Church of England. According to DNB for Calvin and Travers alike "the duty of the theologian was merely to identify the church's structure and apply it to contemporary circumstances. It was in this last respect that Travers's originality lay for he subtly adapted Calvin's biblical model to an English context. In order to undermine the diocesan episcopate of the English church Travers started off with an examination of the role of bishops in the New Testament showing that they were not part of a separate hierarchy with authority over other clergy but merely ministers of local congregations. He also differed from Calvin in identifying elders as a type of deacon rather than a separate kind of minister." Our book was written during Travers' 1570-76 sojourn in Geneva where he became a friend of Calvin's successor Theodore Beza. Afterwards he ministered to English merchant marines in Antwerp where he refused to use the Book of Common Prayer for worship. Despite this when Travers returned to England he became chaplain to Elizabeth's chief minister William Cecil and tutor to his son. As DNB notes "his close ties to influential courtiers of a Calvinist inclination" would be key to Travers' career keeping him out of serious trouble despite his strongly presbyterian views. Our volume has a distinguished provenance coming from the celebrated Broxbourne library of Albert Ehrman 1890-1969 a diamond merchant who gathered a fine collection of books at his home at Broxbourne in Hertfordshire. He spent half a century collecting books specializing in incunabula and early bindings as well as early type specimens and bibliographies. Feather says that "his collecting was intelligent and scholarly for he sought to illustrate the history of printing and the book trade and the early development of trade binding." Ehrman also authored learned articles on fine bindings and the history of printing. The present work is uncommon: we could trace just five copies at auction since 1979; only the 1979 copy contained the folding "Table" and that one was noted as "slightly defective and mounted on linen.".
