163583350London c1635. Presumed from the Third Edition of Sermons. Disbound This had been shipped rolled in a tube but is suitable for flat presentation or binding. Fair. Format is approximately 8.25 inches by 12 inches. Pagination is 923 to 932 with page 926 and 927 misnumbered as 916 and 919. The flow of the text indicates that these are not pages from a different document but are misnumbered through a printer's error. Text is in English with some Latin phrasing included. Discoloration and some tearing at top of pages. Illustrations on page 923 925 and 932. Text has some printed marginal comments and references. These five sheets/10 pages were removed from a larger work which is believed to be the third edition London 1635 of his Sermons and the pagination is consistent with Gunpowder Plot sermons being found on pages 900 to 1008 of that volume. In 1612 Andrewes selection of this text is unusual coming from Lamentations 3: 22: "It is the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed because his compassions fail not." He contrasts the mercies that Jeremiah witnessed with those enjoyed by England. His theme is that the mercy God showed to England supersedes that for the Israelites and he carefully notes that mercy should then follow from those who have received mercy. Weighted so heavily on the side of mercy especially in the textual embedding of the mercy in terms of imminent suffering the sermon's emphasis requires hearers to adjust their understanding of God's intervention on their behalf. It marks a shift toward addressing the important point of obligations. Due to this shift it is grouped among the latter sermons. Prince Henry's mortal illness prevented the king from attending. It was the only Gunpowder sermon James ever missed. Lancelot Andrewes 1555 - 25 September 1626 was an English bishop and scholar who held high positions in the Church of England during the reigns of Elizabeth I and James I. During the latter's reign Andrewes served successively as Bishop of Chichester of Ely and of Winchester and oversaw the translation of the King James Version of the Bible or Authorized Version. In the Church of England he is commemorated on 25 September with a lesser festival. On the accession of James I Andrewes rose into great favor. He assisted at James's coronation and in 1604 took part in the Hampton Court Conference. Andrewes' name is the first on the list of divines appointed to compile the Authorized Version of the Bible. He headed the "First Westminster Company" which took charge of the first books of the Old Testament Genesis to 2 Kings. He acted furthermore as a sort of general editor for the project as well. Following the discovery of the Gunpowder Plot Andrewes was asked to prepare a sermon to be presented to the king in 1606 Sermons Preached upon the V of November in Lancelot Andrewes XCVI Sermons 3rd. Edition London1635 pp. 889890 900-1008 . In this sermon Lancelot Andrewes justified the need to commemorate the deliverance and defined the nature of celebrations. This sermon became the foundation of celebrations which continue 400 years later. Andrewes preached regularly and submissively before James I and his court on the anniversaries of the Gowrie Conspiracy and the Gunpowder Plot. These sermons were used to promulgate the doctrine of the Divine Right of Kings. In 1609 he published Tortura Torti a learned work which grew out of the Gunpowder Plot controversy. In 1617 he accompanied James I to Scotland with a view to persuading the Scots that Episcopacy was preferable to Presbyterianism. He was made dean of the Chapel Royal and translated by the confirmation of his election to that see in February 1619 to Winchester a diocese that he administered with great success. Following his death in 1626 in his Southwark palace he was mourned alike by leaders in church and state and buried beside the high altar at St. Saviour's now Southwark Cathedral then in the Diocese of Winchester. Ninety-six of his sermons were published in 1631 by command of Charles I have been occasionally reprinted and are considered among the most rhetorically developed and polished sermons of the late-sixteenth and early-seventeenth centuries. Because of these Andrewes has been commemorated by literary greats such as T. S. Eliot. In his 1997 novel Timequake Kurt Vonnegut suggested that Andrewes was "the greatest writer in the English language" citing as proof the first few verses of the 23rd Psalm. His translation work has also led him to appear as a character in three plays dealing with the King James Bible Howard Brenton's Anne Boleyn 2010 Jonathan Holmes' Into Thy Hands 2011 and David Edgar's Written on the Heart 2011. unknown

Wikipedia ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Thomas Nugent c. 1700 27 April 1772 in Gray's Inn London was an erudite Irish historian and travel writer. Today he is best known for his travelogue of the Grand Tour which was at that time popular particularly among English noblemen taking educational tours through Europe. His detailed descriptions of the France Italy Germany and the Netherlands of the time provide a rich source for historians of the situation in the second half of the 18th century. Little is known regarding his early years. He admittedly came from Ireland though he spent most of his life in London. There he occupied himself as an author and translator. In the year 1749 he published the multi-volume work "The Grand Tour containing an exact description of most of the cities towns and remarkable places of Europe". This was the first detailed guidebook for English gentlemen wanting to go on the Grand Tour of Europe. Whether Nugent had actually undertaken this tour himself in unknown although it is assumed on the basis of the detailed information and evident knowledge of the places depicted therein. Nugent devoted himself in the following years to translating works by prominent jurists philosophers and political thinkers of his time mostly from French into English. This included a 1750 translation of Montesquieus De lesprit des lois into English as The Spirit of Laws a 1751 translation of Jean-Jacques Burlamaquis Principes du droit politique as Principles of Politic Law 1752 and in 1756 a translation of Étienne Bonnot de Condillacs Essai sur lorigine des connaissances humaines as Essay on the Origin of Human Knowledge. Also in 1756 a newly updated version of his travelogue was published with the title "The Grand Tour or A journey through the Netherlands Germany Italy and France". In the year 1759 he published a translation of the French historian Philippe Macquer 1720-1770 of Roman History "Chronological Abridgement of the Roman History". He then devoted himself to the French history of Charles-Jean-Francois Henault "Chronological Abridgment of the History of France" 1762. Nugent received a doctorate of law from the Scottish University of Aberdeen in 1765. After this he planned to write a history of the Vandals thus studying the source material on his trip to Germany. He traveled through northern Germany from Hamburg through Lübeck to Mecklenburg where he suspected to be the original homeland or the early settlement of the Vandals. On his return to England he not only published his history of the Vandals "The History of Vandalia Containing the ancient and present state of the country of Mecklenburg" in 1766 but also in 1768 was published his German travel experiences in the form of several letters to a fictitious friend at home. This work original title: Travels through Germany: containing observations on customs manners religion government commerce arts and antiquities: with a particular account of the Courts of Mecklenburg in a series of letters to a friend was written amongst others at Hamburg Lübeck and several cities and villages in the then Mecklenburg-Schwerin and Mecklenburg-Strelitz including Schwerin Rostock Wismar Ludwigslust Doberan Güstrow Bützow Waren Neustrelitz Mirow and Neubrandenburg. In 1771 he wrote a book about the Florentine Renaissance sculptor Benvenuto Cellini. Inspired by the success of his travelogue he now translated a guidebook of London which was the first work aimed at foreign readers visiting England. This book original title: "A tour to London or New observations on England and its inhabitants" appeared in 1772 the same year that Nugent died in London. Following his death his guidebooks enjoyed yet even greater popularity. A third edition of his "Grand Tour" appeared in 1778. His two-volume travelogue about northern Germany Travels through Germany which appeared in 1768 gave great interest there. The Mecklenburg-based Professor Lorenz Karsten translated the work into German and published it in 1781 by Friedrich Nicolai. This book in which among other things the Lübeck Dance of Death Totentanz is described made Nugent famous in Germany and was largely abridged in 1938 as well as appearing in new annotated editions in 1998 and 2000. Goethe's translation of the life of Benvenuto Cellini from the year 1803 was partly based on the Italian original and partly based on the English version by Thomas Nugent. Wikipedia hardcover
