1642032836Oxford: Printed by Leonard Lichfield 1642 An extremely scarce 1st edition copy of Francis Potter's work. Potter 1594-1678 was a clergyman with a wide range of other interests. He was an early member of the Royal Society admitted in 1663 experimenting with bees theorising about blood transfusion and making instruments including a sundial. He developed a theory that the approximate square root of 666 - 25 - had a strong connection with catholic institutions. His first attempt to set this out in 1637 was described as a 'wonderful discovery' by Joseph Mede whose 'judgement' is included in the work. This copy has been rebacked relaying as much as possible of the spine which has raised bands red title label and the date at the base. The corners have been rebuilt. The boards are marbled with a stain on the rear board. Edges are scuffed. Internally there is the armorial bookplate of William Legge to the front pastedown endpaper. The endpaper joints have been repaired. Page edges are red. Contents: initial blank; copper-engraved title page by W Marshall - with old signature to top; Joseph Mede's judgement with old scholarly note to margin 1p; To the reader 8pp; Chapter list and corrigenda 6pp; text with diagrams pp 1-214; finis; final blank. Text with decorative head and tailpieces and initial capitals. The contents are very clean. At some point one or more adventurous worms explored the top corners of most pages from To the Reader to p 197. They were clearly discerning readers because they missed the text. Expert professional paper repair by bookbinder Elizabeth Howard has stabilised the paper and although there is discolouration which also affects the verso of the title the impact is minimised. The numbers at the top of pp 105/6 and 109-114 are affected. Another small worm exploration affects pp 167-187 again without impact on the text but the diagram at p 175 has a small hole in it. P 11 has lost the bottom corner tip. Book measures 21.5 cm x 14.6 cm. Please enquire if you would like to see further images. Printed by Leonard Lichfield hardcover

A treatise on the Number of the Beast by the English clergyman scientific instrument maker early member of the Royal Society and friend of John Aubrey. According to the ODNB Potter was interested in "connecting 25 the ‘appropinque’ square root of 666 with various institutions in the Roman Catholic church. His ideas were elaborated in a manuscript which was read in 1637 by Joseph Mede and commended as a wonderful discovery the ‘happiest that ever yet came into the world.'" Pepys considered it "mighty ingenious." It continued to be influential and was reprinted as late as 1808. Aubrey’s short life of Potter paints a vivid picture of his character and highly inventive mind. N. B.

1654032978London: Printed by J G for Nathanael Webb and William Grantham at the signe of the Bear in St Paul's Church-yard 1654 A good copy in contemporary full pigskin with blind ruled lines to boards. The pages have been cropped so the margins and gutter are quite small and the book is slightly bowed as if it has been held or kept in a pocket for ease of reference. It is certainly an entertaining read. Thomas Hall circa 1610-1665 was a Presbyterian and at the time of publication was Pastor of Kingsnorton. His congregation dismissed him at the Restoration - and if his sermons resembled his writing it is easy to imagine why. A small sample: 'Lastly as no man may weare his owne haire excessively long so he may not weare the long haire of another be it of a man a woman or it may be of some harlot who is now in Hell lamenting there the abuse of that excrement'. The binding is sound with a area of leather loss at the bottom of the spine and light general wear. Contents with title blank verso; poems 5pp; errata 1p; text pp 1-95 blank verso; Appendix title blank verso; text 99-125 Finis; rear blank. Decorative head and tailpieces and initial capitals. Paper is clean with toning. The title page is very browned at the edges which are slightly ragged and there is a small pasted piece of paper over one word on last page of poems. There is some mispagination but the text is continuous: 58-56-60; 78-69-80; and 92-39-94.
