Contemporary mottled calf metal clasps; binding rubbed at spine. Joints cracked yet sound; text block foxed throughout; with faults a good copy. Scarce Lancaster edition printed in German the text from the edition published in the Netherlands in 1575. Simons was an ordained Catholic priest from Friesland in the Low Countries who followed the progress of the Reformation and recognized the need for reform and adherence to the teachings of the Bible. Transubstantiation and infant baptism were two doctrinal issues that he particularly found wanting. Through his exhaustive study of scripture he came to understand that they were not in the Bible and therefore he could no longer perform the sacrament as prescribed by Catholic liturgy. Ein Fundament und Klare Anweisung is a record of his biblical studies which had a significant influence on Dutch reform movements and the growth of the Anabaptist sect. It became a standard work in Mennonite communities in America. American Imprints 32974. 536. Gedruckt bey Johann Bär unknown books

184832820701A classic characteristic daguerreotype portrait of Henry Clay the "Great Compromiser" a dominant force in American politics for decades. He represented Kentucky in Congress from 1806 until his death in 1852 with a few breaks for cabinet duty or a presidential campaign–he ran four times without success. A political moderate he brokered the Compromise of 1850 that kept the United States intact.A nearly identical portrait of Clay was copyrighted by Philadelphia photographer Montgomery P. Simons. Simons wrote to the Photographic Art Journal in 1853 to discuss this sitting:"My likeness of Mr. Clay which has elicited so many encomiums from the press and which you have been pleased to criticise so favorably as a valuable likeness is still more valuable for having associated with it a pleasing and characteristic anecdote of that great statesman. This anecdote made such a strong impression upon my memory as being a most elegant impromptu that I am now able to give it to you verbatim although it has been several years since it happened. At the time I took the picture of Mr. Clay he was on a visit to Philadelphia and the guest of one of his warmest friends Mr. Potter who accompanied him to my Gallery."As Mr. Potter and myself were about arranging Mr. Clay's drapery I asked him if he had any choice of position; his answer was 'None whatever sir; I am Clay in the hands of a Potter let him mould me as he will.'""Henry Clay of Kentucky had one of the most superlative political careers in American history. A lawyer by training Clay served in almost every level of government possible in the 19th century: the Kentucky state house of representatives the United States Senate the United States House of Representatives and the executive branch as Secretary of State. On top of that he helped negotiate the Treaty of Ghent ending the War of 1812 and ran for President three times over three decades on three different party tickets Democratic Republican Party 1824; National Republican Party 1832; and the Whig Party 1844."Despite being a political journeyman Clay's true home he confessed was in the House. He served as Speaker—and resigned from the Speakership—on three separate occasions but the exact timeline of his House career isn't as straightforward as we might expect from one of America's foremost statesmen. The Kentuckian had served in the Senate twice before capturing a seat in the House in 1810 promptly winning election as Speaker on the first day of his first term" House of Representatives website.Provenance: early ink inscription on verso: ""given by Henry Clay to Isaac Fuller."
