173564772Augsburg: Mertz & Meyer 1735. Vellum. Very Good. 17.5 x 10.5 cm. 16mo. Double-page title page fontispiece single page two color title 24 907pp. Bound in contemporary vellum. Plays in Latin language with German language commentary. Front gutter cracked but still holding. Soiling to the boards. 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

176042569London: Printed for the Author. 1760. First Edition. Disbound. Fair. 16mo; vi 2 120 pages; Sold by T. Kinnersley in St. Paul's Church-Yard; and to be had of all other Booksellers in Town and Country. OCLC 504455151 ESTC t126448 This book lacks most of the leather backstrip and the entire rear board; the front calf covered board is present but detached. The ffep and title page are still attached to the front board; the rest of the text block are held firmly by the original stitching and remainder of the spine. Text is clean but for a couple brief pencil notes marking where the reader left off. Quite a scarce volume; a good cadidate for rebinding. "Most of the pieces in this entertaining miscellany originally appeared in Lloyd's Evening Post." These anonymously published essays skip from a reminiscence of the author's charming youthful infatuation with his nurse and a string of other women into adulthood to a day at an auction house to his arrival at Bath and an odd "exchange" of verses with one "Jack Meggot." A few years later "Honest Ranger" published a second book A Visit to the Ideal World 1763. This author who published under the psedonym "Honest Ranger" has variously been identified as Arthur Murphy or John Ingledew but is to be distinguished from the "Honest Ranger" who published the infamous Harris’s List of the ladies of Covent Garden. .

1703B7089Paris: Chez Simon Langlois c 1703. near fine with text clean and crisp. . Edition: First Edition. Binding: Contemporary full paper boards expertly rebacked; raised spine with five 5 bands black ink title on vellum label on two; central black fleur de lis design on four. Notes: Provenance: Upper pasted endpaper with owner’s armorial bookplate: “Watkin Williams Esq of Penbedw // in the County of Denbighâ€. Concerning this name Archaeologia Cambrensis states: “1789. Watkin Williams Esq. of Penbedw in the county of Denbigh but owner of property in the parishes of Mallwyd and Llan-y-mowddwy in the county of Merioneth M.P. first for Montgomeryshire and afterwards during nearly thirty years for the Flint contributary boroughs was appointed lieutenant and custos rotulorum for Merionethshire.†Final free endpaper watermarked. <br>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.'. <br>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 Abbé Plante a note says that the first edition “would have been almost completely destroyed by the sinking of the ship …carrying it to Canada and for this reason a second edition was immediately made.†<br>On the “privilege†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; <br><br>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.<br><br>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-Rivières Saint-Vallier’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.<br><br>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 ‘coureurs des bois’ 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.<br><br>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.<br><br>Priests of the Missions Étrangères of Paris the Jesuits the Recollets and the Sulpicians often worked in collaboration with the nuns from different orders like the Congrégation de Notre-Dame or the Canonesses of St. Augustine of the Mercy of Jesus at l’Hôtel-Dieu de Québec. 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. … Saint-Vallier's tenure as bishop was defined by interminable quarrels with governmental and religious institutions in French North America. … his active leadership style brought him into conflict with various groups who perceived him as at times domineering and micromanaging.<br>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 Hôpital Général and installation of Jesuits and Recollets at Montreal were also to his credit.<br><br>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 ‘Statuts et ordonnances’ – two of which are bound in the present volume. <br>…the Superior of the jesuite order decided to attack Saint-Vallier’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 … 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. <br><br>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.<br><br> Size: Octavo 213 x133mm.

Very good. 6th edition. 2 of 3 volumes lacking the first volume. 8vo old or original acid-bitten calf very good light wear and rubbing to bindings contents clean and bright light foxing. 594 & 427 pp. Wikipedia: "Dubos' principle work Réflexions critiques sur la poésie et sur la peinture was published for the first time in 1719 2 vols but often reprinted in three volumes. In France it was considered an important text for the study of aesthetics and was a popular textbook until the 19th century. Like his history of the League of Cambray it was highly praised by Voltaire. The work was rendered more remarkable by the fact that its author had no practical acquaintance with any one of the arts whose principles he discussed. This work has been noted for elevating criticism to a place among the arts. Pissot hardcover

17903249Dumbarton Scotland 1790. Good. Folio half-sheet 1 p. 20 lines name of the recipient on verso 2 vertical and 4 horizontal folds evidence of wax seal on verso old tape repair at top margin not affecting text ink gall corrosion on outer margin affecting one word. Preserved in mylar sleeve. An extremely curious provincial Scottish letter dated 1790 which incorporates misspellings based on non-standard sociolects of the Scottish dialect. While "worthless" relics such as this were almost invariably discarded they remain of the great interest in Ortheopy the study of pronunciation. Indeed much of what is known about Vulgar Latin pronunciation is preserved in graffiti in the ruins of Pompei. <br/><br/>Concerning the content of the letter: William Steuart or Stewart writes to John Adam Esq. describing water damage to four rooms in Dumbarton Castle: two were newly painted the other two newly wall-papered. An associate suggested that he procure a carpenter in Inversnaid to the amount of GBP 35 and therefore "if you have any masonwork to do I can do it at the time."<br/><br/>The letter is signed by Steuart but was clearly dictated by him to an unnamed scribe. Our transcription of the letter retains the original spelling:<br/><br/>"Dumbarton May 24th 1790. Dear Sir<br/>I received both your letters one of the 10th & the other of the 13th curant & have noted the contents. I told Capt. Roberson what work was to be don sic at the Castle hear sic this year when he simed i.e. seemed much surprised that his hous sic was not rough cast.

I am Dear Sir your very humbel sic Serv't" shaky signature of William Steuart. <br/><br/>Questions remain: Why go to Inversnaid to procure a carpenter This extremely tiny village was located 30 miles away from Dumbarton Castle while Glasgow was only 13 miles away.
