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

1825000556Montpleasant Ohio: Elisha Bates 1825. The author was a prominent Friend or Quaker in Ohio during the 1820s and 1830s. Bates became the publisher of The Philanthropist from 1818 to 1822. The Philanthropist was the first anti-slavery newspaper in the United States and also supported temperance and the fair treatment of Native Americans. Bates began publishing another periodical The Moral Advocate in March 1821. Bates also became the leader of the Mount Pleasant Meeting of the Society of Friends Quakers. Bates' only book this volume was self-published in 1825. Author Donald Good in his 1969 article "Elisha Bates and Social Reform" states that Bates' Doctrine of Friends was "judged to be one of the best brief accounts of Friends' view in existence." After the publication of his book dramatic changes began to foment within the Quakers religion with what became known as the Hicksite - Orthodox Schism. Bates who favored Orthodoxy was a staunch opponent of Elias Hicks the Hicks in Hicksite who favored liberalism. Bates became a controversial figure. He was disowned converted to Methodist and became a Methodist minister. He late returned to Quakerism. There are three signatures and a personal library stamp on flyleaf - this book has a historical provenance: the first signature is that of Wyman Chamberlain 1772-1838 followed by "his book." Chamberlain was the son of a Revolutionary war soldier and a prominent member of the Friends congregation of Grand Isle Vermont. The next signer in pencil was Mary Chamberlain 1808-1887. Genealogy research suggests that Mary was likely Wyman's daughter-in-law the wife of his only son William. The last signer in ink was Reba B. Hoag. Reba was the sister of Mary the sister-in-law of William and the step-daughter of Wyman. She lived with her sister and brother-in-law. Lastly there is also a personal library stamp of Jed P. Clark. Mr. Clark 1825-1906 was the son of Joseph Clark a very prominent man in Milton Vermont who is still revered today as one of its founding fathers. Jed P. Clark succeeded his father as the owner of the largest town industry - a saw mill and grist mill in Milton Falls Vermont and a director of the Vermont & Canada and Central Vermont railroads. Items related to Jed P. Clark's mercantile store such as its script are still collectible today. Clark was also briefly one of Milton's postmasters. We contacted one of the Quaker libraries and were told that it was "interesting that someone at Grand Isle had Bates' book because Bates was not in agreement with the kind of Quakerism that was practiced there." This is a very interesting and culturally important book particularly for the history of the author and owners. Full leather binding 320 pages. The book has wear commensurate with age: the leather is worn; binding is split at outside back seam with the hinge held on by one stitch. Bumped corners. Dark tanning and foxing to pages.

1773028953America 1773. Manuscript. Good. folio 5 ff. 163 5 pp. original manuscript bound in contemporary vellum front cover with title inked in early hand; binding darkened stained and rubbed with vellum cracked and peeling over spine. Sewing loosening; a number of leaves separated. Pages age-toned with minor offsetting edges of first few leaves tattered with the lower portion of title leaf chipped away. Apparently unpublished 18th century American manuscript dealing with natural religion the nature of prophecy and revelation and the definition of "real Christianity" vs. "Orthodoxy." The author seems to have been at least contemplating publication as a preliminary advertisement offers the usual disclaimer regarding a work "never intended. for the Eye of the Public" that might yet "accidentally fall into private Hands" of "Strangers." That advertisement is signed "W. D." with "America 1773." Supplied below in a slightly smaller finer lettering; text on p. 112 refers in passing to "this 28th Dec.r 1773." References to "modern" or current events are slim to nonexistent; but Liebnitz appears unfavorably. The author also cites more approvingly Drs. Clarke Sherlock and Burnet - along with "Machiavel" on the nature of governments. Gil Blas is mentioned as a history that might be viewed as truth by the credulous ages hence; Shaftesbury Voltaire and Locke are treated of in the last pages. The text is reasonably but not excessively erudite there are occasional forays into Greek and Latin; the work's tone is often combative with the author's negative opinions of much Jewish philosophy and doctrine bluntly expressed. <br /> books

193063985Chicago IL & Davenport IA: Lutheran Mission Churches; North Illinois District Victor Animatograph Co. ca. 1930-1934. Two vols. 4to. 13; 13 leaves unnumbered. of 4-pocket archival mylar sleeves housing 97 glass plate lantern slides sized 4 x 3.25 in. all in gray cardstock embossed frame mounts of the Victor Animatograph Co. of Davenport IA nearly all numbered in white ink MS 1 2-48; 49-56 60-97 2 100 glass slides nearly all w/ red dots keyed to lantern slide maps included at the end 34 hand-coloured 63 black & white a few w/ very minor hairline cracks in the glass not affecting the image or integrity minor dustsoiling edgewear to mounts together with 4 leaves typescript detailing all of the slides to be used in the presentation inserted together into first mylar sleeves first two leaves w/ extensive MS notes & revisions in ink & pencil. All preserved in recent blue cloth 3-ring binders still a VG archive. This glass slide photo archive visually captures the expansion of the Lutheran Mission Churches largely within the Missouri Synod which underwent rapid Americanization and expansion during the 1920’s and early 1930’s in Chicago the nearby suburbs and across Northern Illinois. With a focus on establishing Sunday Schools shifting liturgy from German to English language and appealing to immigrant communities for growth these glass plate lantern slides appear to have been designed as a presentation for growing Lutheran Mission Churches as they spread through up-and-coming suburban neighborhoods in and around Chicago mostly within a 50 mile-or-so boundary line to downtown Chicago. Stately churches church interiors Sunday School interiors students pastors as well as church buses and surrounding areas are also depicted within the slides. Heavily influenced by Dwight L.
