"It is not because the style or the matter of Mr. Boaden's Critical Examination of the Shakespeare MSS. appears to possess any intrinsic merit that it is made the subject of consideration in the following pages. Much less is this slight attempt dictated by any apprehension that the authenticity of those MSS. will be materially affected either by the arguments of such an examiner or the detection of his sophistry. But when an individual pretends to direct the taste of the public when relying on the fancied ingenuity and importance of his criticism he attempts to depreciate real merit it becomes at least necessary to examine the purity of his motives and the consistency of his conduct. The authenticity of the MSS. in the hands of Mr. Ireland must ultimately be refereed to a higher tribunal" First paragraph. "The "Shakespeare MSS." are the Ireland forgeries.

CIRCA LATE 18TH EARLY 19TH CENTURY BEAUTIFULLY HANDWRITTEN RECIPE FOR GLUE SPECIFICALLY TO REPAIR PORCELAIN

179900TP99France 1799. Small handwritten recipe for a glue to hold porcelain together. Blending lead oils paper and flour. Biographical Notes: SIR THOMAS PHILLIPPS 1792-1872. Born in 1792 Sir Thomas Phillipps from childhood was obsessed with the idea of obtaining virtually anything written or printed on paper including cartloads of documents from wastepaper merchants and the entire inventories of booksellers. "I wish to have one copy of every book in the world" he declared to a friend. He very nearly succeeded. His collection ultimately grew to more than 100000 books and at least 60000 manuscripts. As a result of his extravagant purchases Sir Thomas was permanently on the verge of bankruptcy and was constantly pursued by creditors. So many books arrived at his house that it was impossible to unpack his acquisitions much less keep pace with them. Visiting scholars driven to distraction would spend days hunting for an elusive text in the dusty heaps that filled every room. Because Sir Thomas has a morbid dread of fire most of his collection was housed in coffinlike boxes that could be carted away quickly. Visitors to Middle Hill were struck too by the presence of numerous logs a ploy he used to lure beetles away from his books. As Sir Thomas relentlessly pursued his passion the house itself began to crumble and its floors started to sag under the cast weight of hundreds of tons of paper. His neglect of Middle Hill was partly deliberate however. Sir Thomas's chief enemy in life James Halliwell had married his daughter against his wishes. It appears that Halliwell was in Sir Thomas' eyes the worst kind of criminal a book thief who had stolen valuable works from university libraries and even from his father-in-law. Having no sons Sir Thomas was unable to prevent Halliwell from inheriting his estate. To ensure that his detested heir would never receive anything of value Sir Thomas's solution was to allow Middle Hill to fall unto complete disrepair. He even went so far as to chop down and sell for lumber the centuries-old oak trees that lined the majestic mile-long drive to his home. In 1863 Sir Thomas decided to move - in order to accommodate his books. With the aid of 160 men 103 wagonloads of books and papers drawn by 230 horses the books were lumbered from Middle Hill top their new estate in nearby Cheltenham. It is said that for years afterwards the countryside was littered with the remains of carts that had collapsed under the sheer weight of the Phillipps collection. Sir Thomas continues to add to his library until his death in 1872. After Sir Thomas's death his immediate family had no room for his collection. So vast was the library that although individual items and large sections were sold privately or through numerous auction sales the Phillipps collection is still being sold more than a century after the death of its owner. In the course of its sales many treasures have come to light. As late as 1964 part of the long-lost and unique medieval manuscript of the Roman poet Ovid's Metamorphoses appeared and was subsequently reunited with its other half at Magdalen College Oxford. Once destined for destruction as worthless wastepaper this and many other priceless works were saved by the single-minded obsession of the greatest bibliomaniac of all time. Autograph. Manuscript.

Turpin continues the story from the expulsion of James II through efforts to recover the throne.

Terrence 190 B.C. - 159 B.C. was a North African slave of a Roman senator Terentius Lucanus. He was the author of 6 major palys. His style deviated from earlier dramatic form. He avoided monologues favoring dialogue that was more like ordinary conversation devoid of flamboyance. His prologues were essays in literary crticism and he was deeply concerned with unity in the plot sometimes incorporating passages from other plays. He moved drama in the direction of realism and was influential on the writings of Cicero Horace and the early Christian Church fathers. This edition of his plays was prepared for German students with extensive notes explaining the most difficult passages the Latin idiomatic expressions and Greek roots of som eof the words. A long preface in German is a commentary on pre-Christian authors and their works. Mertz & Meyer unknown

This edition of this Canadiana publication is unique in that we are not able to locate another copy of the same anywhere. The second last paragraph of the introduction to the priests clergy and missionaries in this edition states that this publication encloses at the end of the first part or 'Rituel' a second part entitled 'les Statuts Ordonnances & Mandemens.' instructions prepared at various times by the Church for the conduct of all including those entrusted to the clergy that these instructions may not be ignored. The recipient are advised that they are restatements of instructions previously given to be read often just as such given in the Ritual itself; they are to be followed with precisions including all the rules contained not to be lost sight of observed faithfully in all works and ones conduct. The inclusion of this paragraph is unlike the introduction of another edition published at the same time and same location but not including this paragraph or the 'Statuts.'. The present work describing festivals sacraments statutes and ordinances for the use by priests in Quebec is extremely rare and was immediately followed by a second edition published the same year: Gagnon reports that in a copy of the second edition of 1703 now at the Laval University library and previously owned by AbbÃ© Plante a note says that the first edition â€œwould have been almost completely destroyed by the sinking of the ship â€¦carrying it to Canada and for this reason a second edition was immediately made.â€ On the â€œprivilegeâ€ included as the final leaf in our first edition example it is stated that the work was registered on March 30 1703 and completed for print for the first time on March 31 1703; Saint-Valier was a supporter of the Counter Reformation. His initial intent in the New World was to engage in the conversion of the indigenous residents. He introduced Jesuits and Recollects in an attempt to evangelize New France. Many of these missions Illinois Louisiana and Mississippi resulted in conflicts between Bishop Saint-Vallier the Jesuits and the seminary of Quebec. His various construction projects reflect a desire to restore and renew the authority in the Catholic Church as the main institution of administrative organization. In 1697 Saint-Valier built a palace in Quebec for his clergy and as a place of hospitality. During the same year he also established a nuns monastery in Trois-RiviÃ¨res Saint-Vallierâ€™s zeal for religious activities and establishments stretched from Quebec Montreal Acadia and Louisiana. His way of life embodied that of the ideals of the Council of Trent. The Diocese of Quebec was vast and its population diverse and widespread. It included the whole of French North America or what was called New France divided in seven colonies: Newfoundland Acadia ÃŽle Royale Louisiana Illinois Upper Country and Canada inhabited by Indigenous people and the European settlers. During the tenure of Saint-Vallier immigration from France was mostly over; the European colonists were farmers fishermen sailors merchants and â€˜coureurs des boisâ€™ overseen by a small elite of aristocratic leaders but a great demographic explosion occurred between 1685 and 1730 the white population in New France jumping from c. 12000 inhabitants to c. 41500. During the same time the number of Amerindian fell from c. 163500 to c. 61500. That loss mainly in the tribes of Louisiana was attributed to warfare and diseases brought to the valley of the Mississippi. The number of Aboriginals compared to white settlers is one reason for the presence of so many religious orders in New France. The missions and conversions to Christianity were deemed very important. Priests of the Missions Ã‰trangÃ¨res of Paris the Jesuits the Recollets and the Sulpicians often worked in collaboration with the nuns from different orders like the CongrÃ©gation de Notre-Dame or the Canonesses of St. Augustine of the Mercy of Jesus at lâ€™HÃ´tel-Dieu de QuÃ©bec. The arrival of Saint-Vallier and his strong views on what should be the duties of the priests created a shock wave in the orders especially for the Seminary of Quebec newly founded by his predecessor Bishop Laval. â€¦ Saint-Vallier's tenure as bishop was defined by interminable quarrels with governmental and religious institutions in French North America. â€¦ his active leadership style brought him into conflict with various groups who perceived him as at times domineering and micromanaging. While subject to much criticism Saint-Vallier was also admired in his diocese for his dedication and self-sacrifice. Rather than staying in Quebec or Montreal he tirelessly traveled the back-country. The founding of the HÃ´pital GÃ©nÃ©ral and installation of Jesuits and Recollets at Montreal were also to his credit. There was a very strong suspicion in the colonies and in France that the Bishop of Quebec was in fact a follower of Jansenism. . In the beginning of the 18th century the Bishop wrote 3 books; the Ritual the Catechism and the â€˜Statuts et ordonnancesâ€™ â€“ two of which are bound in the present volume. â€¦the Superior of the jesuite order decided to attack Saint-Vallierâ€™s authority by writing a long critic of those three books seeing them as a "lapse into Arianism Pelagianism Jansenism Lutheranism and Calvinism". Father Bouvart based his accusations on different passages of the works of the Bishop â€¦ who eventually appealed to the Sorbonne to have his works rehabilitated. The doctors of the Faculty of Theology declared the Ritual and the Catechism perfectly orthodox and censured the critic of Bouvart. Nevertheless Saint-Vallier decided to re-edit in 1713 the Ritual so as to cast away all doubts about his pretended Jansenist ideas. This book remained in use in the parishes until the middle of the 19th century. The present work is the unedited original and first edition of his ritual and statuts. The disputes with the religious orders of New France the government and the merchants gave way to a more peaceful period that lasted until his death. Austere throughout his life he became more and more humble in his way of living and turned toward contemplation and simple duties. .He also took very seriously his duties of Bishop and developed parishes in the farthest corners of the diocese.

Edition: First Edition Binding: Contemporary decorative calf; expertly rebacked; boards with central gilt medallions; spine with five 5 raised bands flanked by horizontal gilt fillet and decorative rolls with gilt designed corners and centres in compartments and gilt lettered title on morocco label on two; all edges red. Notes: Publius Ovidius Naso or Ovid 43 BC â€“ AD 17/18 was a Roman poet who lived during the reign of Augustus. A contemporary of Virgil and Horace he is often ranked one of the three canonical poets of Latin literature and enjoyed enormous popularity. Augustus sent him into exile where he died. Today he is best known for his Metamorphoses a 15-book continuous mythological narrative written in the meter of epic and for works in elegiac couplets such as Ars Amatoria "The Art of Love" and Fasti. His poetry was much imitated during Late Antiquity and the Middle Ages and greatly influenced Western art and literature. The Metamorphoses remains one of the most important sources of classical mythology. The Metamorphoses Ovid's most ambitious work was written in dactylic hexameter about transformations in Greek and Roman mythology set within a loose mytho-historical framework. The characters in this work undergo many different transformations. Within an extent of nearly 12000 verses almost 250 different myths are mentioned; each myth is set outdoors where the mortals are often vulnerable to external influences. The first book describes the formation of the world the ages of man the flood the story of Daphne's rape by Apollo and Io's by Jupiter; the second Phaethon and the love of Jupiter with Callisto and Europa; the third focuses on the mythology of Thebes with the stories of Cadmus Actaeon and Pentheus; the fourth on three pairs of lovers: Pyramus and Thisbe Salmacis and Hermaphroditus and Perseus and Andromeda; the fifth on the song of the Muses which describes the rape of Proserpina; the sixth on the rivalry between gods and mortals beginning with Arachne and ending with Philomela; the seventh on Medea as well as Cephalus and Procris; the eighth on Daedalus' flight the Calydonian boar hunt and the contrast between pious Baucis and Philemon and the wicked Erysichthon; the ninth on Heracles and the incestuous Byblis; the tenth on stories of doomed love such as Orpheus who sings about Hyacinthus as well as Pygmalion Myrrha and Adonis; the eleventh on marriages of Peleus and Thetis and the love of Ceyx and Alcyone; the twelfth moves from myth to history describing the exploits of Achilles the battle of the centaurs and Iphigeneia; the thirteenth discusses the contest over Achilles' arms and Polyphemus; the fourteenth moves to Italy describing the journey of Aeneas Pomona and Vertumnus and Romulus and the final or fifteenth opens with a philosophical lecture by Pythagoras and the deification of Caesar. The end of the poem praises Augustus and expresses Ovid's belief that his poem has earned him immortality. In analyzing the Metamorphoses scholars have focused on Ovid's organization of his vast body of material. Ovid engages creatively with his predecessors alluding creatively to the full spectrum of classical poetry. This 1732 first Amsterdam edition is superbly illustrated employing copper plate engravings attributed to the Dutch: Balthasar Bernaerts engraving c.1711â€“1737; Jacob Folkema 1692â€“1767; Wouter Jongman engraving c.1712â€“1744 Joseph Mulder c.1659/60-; Jan Schenk engraving c.1731â€“1746; Jan Wandelaar 1690â€“1759 Philip Van Gunst 1685â€“1732; the Flemish: Martin Bouche c. 1640â€“1693 Frederic Bouttats c.1610â€“1675 Peter Paul Bouche c.1646- and the French: Bernard Picart 1673â€“1733; after the works of the Dutch: Louis Fabritius Dubourg 1693â€“1775; Godfried Maes 1649-1700; Jan Punt 1711â€“1779; Jacob De Wit 1695â€“1754; the French: Charles LeBrun 1619â€“1690; Sebastien Leclerc 1637â€“1714; and the Italians: Giulio Romano 1499â€“1546; and Pietro Testa 1612â€“1650.
