An eyewitness account of some of the last significant actions of the Anglo-Dutch Wars including the two Battles of Schooneveld fought off the Dutch coast in June 1673 between the combined English and French fleets commanded by Prince Rupert of the Rhine and the fleet of the United Provinces commanded by Michiel de Ruyter. Despite being the larger fleet the allies suffered considerable damage and returned to the Thames to refit but this account ends in praise of Prince Rupert: 'this Excellent Prince; how Gloriously he acquitted himself in all the parts of a great General and whether it were possible for any Man under such Circumstances to do more than he hath done . . . to bring home the Fleet Royal of England without the loss of one Man of War to her own shore in Safety in despight of all Enemies that designed otherwise by Sea and Land.'. printed for J.

The Revolution would see the passage of the landmark Bill of Rights of 1689 ensured the exclusion of Catholics from the English throne severely curtailed the monarch's power and witnessed the effective establishment of a constitutional monarchy thereby ensuring the supremacy of Parliament. It further led to the Act of Toleration of 1689 granting toleration to "Nonconformist Protestants" but excluding Catholics whose emancipation would be delayed for a further 140 years. The present volume deals chiefly with Parliament's resolution relating to whether James had forfeited or abdicated the throne by virtue of his having discarded the "Great Seal of the Realm" into the River Thames prior to fleeing for France his subsequent capture at Kent and later exile under the protection of Louis XIV of France. Ultimately Parliament declared that: "King James II having endeavored to subvert the constitution of the kingdom by breaking the original contract between king and people and by the advice of Jesuits and other wicked persons having violated the fundamental laws and having withdrawn himself out of this kingdom has abdicated the government and that the throne is thereby vacant."

Previous owners name on fly-leaf Vilhelm Maar Danish historian of medicine. <br/><br/><em>First Latin edition The French original from 1690 Voyage du Monde de Descartes of this imaginary travel to find Descartes on the moon and in the upper spheres. The work is one of the most importent anti-Cartesian polemics of the 1690's and it attacs the whole of Descartes system in a satirical way."It aimes principally at the sharp Cartesian distinction between body and soul related in a satirical fashion the voyage of the disembodied souls of the narrator of Mersanne and of another old friend of Descartes in the upper spheres. On their way to visit Descartes in the third heaven they meet the souls of Aristotle and the disciples of descartes clearly refelcting here the philosophical opinions of Gabriel Daniel himself. One of the articles of that treaty stipulates that the Cartesians will refer to Aristotle with more respect whereas the Aristotelians will refrain from calling Descartes "Enthusiast" "Madman" "Heretick" or "Atheist" - all of these evidently labels commonly used by the opponents of Descartes at that time."

This edition is praised for the elegance of its typography the correctness of the text and the usefulness of the commentary. Pliny the Younger was a soldier and a senator in the latter part of the first century A.C.E. into the second century A.C.E. During his lifetime he wrote and published nine books of literary letters concerned with social domestic judicial and political matters. These letters are rhetorically crafted with their syntax and semantics tooled to create a new literary style new to Rome. His letters provide a history of quotidian matters in Rome with plenty of anonymous criticisms aimed at slave owners political weasels and the miserly. Senatorial debates elections and trials and other matters of public life are revealed in his letters. The final book is composed of letters between him and Trajan. These were likely first published after Pliny's death. These letters function as a historical source for understanding how the Romans governed their provinces. In one letter Pliny describes one of the earliest accounts of Christian worship and describes the prejudiced attitude of pagan people towards what was then the Christian minority in the Roman Empire. An illuminating history of Rome beautifully bound. A Very Good or better copy with a touch of rubbing to the extremities particularly to the bottom corners and the front joint.

In his view"heresy making" was usually the defensive reaction of those in authority rather than a true indictment of unconventional thinkers. He thought that the worst calamity in Church history was its establishment as the accepted and orthodox faith by the Roman Emperor Constantine in the fourth century. Arnold evinced a remarkable sympathy for a huge variety of "heretics." This "impartial history" exercised a wide influence on the German Enlightenment and won approval from such thinkers as Johann Wolfgang Goethe in addition to Leo Tolstoy." </em> hardcover

Front pastedown with book label of Justin Godart 1871-1956 a French politician and bibliophile of Lyon. Godarts personal library stamp is also on title with the Lyonnais lion. Internet records show that the library of Justin Godart was sold at auction in Paris by Hôtel Drouot in 1957. Importantly this book remained part of the local fabric of the French city from its publication to over 275 years. Stated seventh edition of this devotional text on the Passion of Christ printed by a public brotherhood of Catholics although no other editions located. It is a highly uncommon pocket prayer book with little traceable history save the fact that this same 1679 edition appeared in an auction by Techener in 1861. Another Meditations publication by the same society appears 39 years later as the Nouvelle édition Chez Barthelemy Martin 1718 now held in the Public Library of Lyon. This elusive and largely anonymous French Catholic confraternity probably a local chapter of Lyon likely had various periods of flourishing and disbands or did not make large print-runs of their books possibly explaining the scarcity. <br/><br/>The aim of this brotherhoods untitled publication was to disseminate widely the prayers and reflections to be offered daily first day of the month second day etc. for the suffering of Christ. By publishing a text like this the brothers would in effect be gathering lower orders to participate in penitential exercises which is in itself an act of devotion and which would win them indulgences. In total there are 41 copperplate engravings attributed to François Houat who came from a family of printers and engravers in Northern France. These engravings are exceptional for their dramatic shadows and perspectives. As well the Guillimin publishers were known for their Catholic devotional imprints. For 31 days a full-page copperplate engraved scene of Christs Passion with captions precedes each daily reflection. The daily meditations build up chronologically ending with Christs death on the cross. Full-page engravings are also for Litany of the Passion Litany to the Infant Christ Nativity Lent repeating frontispiece Resurrection Ascension Pentecost the Blessed Sacrament and the emblemata of the brotherhood skull instruments of Passion candle and hourglass. French penitent confraternities survived during the early modern centuries as they underwent several transformations which made them more reflective of French as opposed to Italian devotional sensibilities. They enjoyed prestige and spiritual currency in Catholic society right up the Revolution. Chez Pierre Guillimin hardcover

The later work is a translation of a Latin christological version of Josephus' De bello Judaico dating from ca. 367-374 A.D. It is of uncertain authorship but cited as the work of "Hegesippus" or "Egesippus." It was transmitted among the works of and sometimes attributed to Ambrose Bishop of Milan Titus Flavius Josephus was a first-century Romano-Jewish historian who was born in Jerusalem. He fought against the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee but surrendered in 67 CE to Roman forces led by Vespasian. After Vespasian became Emperor in 69 CE he granted Josephus his freedom at which time Josephus assumed the emperor's family name of Flavius. Josephus recorded Jewish history with special emphasis on the first century CE and the First Jewish–Roman War 66–70 CE including the Siege of Masada. His most important works were The Jewish War c. 75 and Antiquities of the Jews c. 94. The Jewish War recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation. Antiquities of the Jews recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective for an ostensibly Greek and Roman audience. These works provide valuable insight into first century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity although not specifically mentioned by Josephus. Josephus' works are the chief source next to the Bible for the history and antiquity of ancient Palestine. For centuries Josephus' works were more widely read in Europe than any book other than the Bible. They are an invaluable eye-witness to a momentous turning point in Judaism Christianity and Western civilization. The present edition was first published in 1569.
