Excluida assim a idea de que a obra fosse de Vieira restava indagar a qual dos escriptores seus contemporaneos poderia attribuir-se com maior verosimilhança.

É uma exaltação da pátria portuguesa escolhida entre todas as nações do Mundo para propagar a fé cristã predestinada a «descobrir o mundo ao mesmo mundo».</p>_x000d_<p>Vieira dedicou uma parte muito importante do seu esforço à s obras proféticas que considerava a parte mais importante da sua produção literária. Algumas das ideias expostas mereceram a desconfiança da Inquisição que deteve o P. António Viera durante largo tempo e que se viu obrigado a ir a Roma pedir uma intervenção do papa em sua defesa.</p>_x000d_<p>Actualmente esta parte da obra Vieiriana que era pouco considerada pelos anteriores estudiosos tem sido cada vez mais valorizada.</p>_x000d_<p>PADRE ANTÓNIO VIEIRA Lisboa 1608 - Salvador Brasil 1697 O maior escritor português autor de uma vasta obra em português latim e italiano sendo definido lapidarmente por Fernando Pessoa como o «Imperador da lÃngua portuguesa». Ao mesmo tempo desenvolveu com brilhantismo visão e coragem actividades polÃticas e diplomáticas na defesa de Portugal durante a Guerra da Restauração tendo entrado em conflito aberto com a Inquisição que venceu com o apoio do Papa.</p>_x000d_<p>Mais importante ainda foi a sua prolongada e dedicada actividade missionária em que se distinguiu pela defesa da liberdade dos Ãndios e pela condenação da escravatura dentro dos moldes possÃveis na sua época pelo que chegou a ser expulso pelos colonos que tratavam mal os escravos oriundos de Ãfrica e queriam escravizar os Ãndios apesar das leis régias em contrário que obteve de D. João IV e de D. Pedro II.</p>_x000d_<p>Vieira conseguiu conciliar um grande realismo polÃtico com uma crença arraigada no Sebastianismo começando por identificar D. João IV como o Desejado do mito Sebastianista que havia de ressuscitar. Apesar de Vieira dar grande valor e se ter dedicado prolongadamente à s suas obras teológicas e proféticas foram os sermões que o consagraram como grande orador e escritor. A sua forte personalidade e capacidade oratória atraÃam multidões para ouvi-lo pregar mas foi a possibilidade de se ter podido consagrar a rever e a acompanhar a publicação dos sermões que os tornou obras literárias de grande valor e não apenas o frio registo das suas capacidades oratórias.</p>_x000d_<p>É também uma figura tutelar e fundadora da cultura brasileira paÃs onde viveu e actuou com a maior coragem metade da sua vida e onde decidiu viver os seus últimos dias. Hoje a sua obra é muito influente e estudada no Brasil sendo oriundos desse paÃs alguns dos maiores especialistas em Vieira tais como: Alcir Pécora Adma Muhana João Adolfo Hansen a par dos portugueses Margarida Viiera Mendes Arnaldo do EspÃrito Santo Ana Travassos Valdez e os referidos mais abaixo.</p>_x000d_<p>Foi para a BaÃa com a famÃlia em 1614 onde Vieira frequentou o Colégio da Companhia de Jesus. Relativa a esta época chegou até aos nossos dias uma lenda que refere ter o jovem Vieira dificuldades da aprendizagem mas um certo dia repentinamente ultrapassou todas as suas dificuldades dando nas vistas pelas suas capacidades intelectuais e linguÃsticas tendo sido escolhido pera redigir o relatório anual em 1625 com apenas 17 anos sendo este facto conhecido como o «Estalo de Vieira».</p>_x000d_<p>Em 5 de Maio de 1623 iniciou o noviciado na Companhia e durante ele passou algum tempo na Missão do EspÃrito Santo onde aprendeu a lÃngua tupi e entrou em contacto com a cultura e a psicologia dos Ãndios que haveria de defender durante toda a sua vida.</p>_x000d_<p>Em 6 de Maio de 1625 proferiu os primeiros votos e logo a seguir como refirimos acima foi encarregado de redigir a carta ânua relativa aos anos de 1624 e 1625 e começou a ensinar retórica no Colégio de Olinda tendo sido ordenado sacerdote em 10 de Dezembro de 1634. Durante este perÃodo tornou-se notada a sua capacidade oratória e fez muitas pregações em casa da ordem em missões e fazendas tendo a primeira pregação oficial ocorrido no 4.º Domingo da Quaresma de 1634 na Igreja da Conceição da BaÃa.</p>_x000d_<p>Em 27 de Fevereiro de 1641 acompanhou a Lisboa o filho do Marquês de Montalvão Vice-rei do Brasil começando um perÃodo de actividade polÃtica como conselheiro de D. João IV e diplomática missões em Paris e Haia de 1646 a 1648 Roma em 1650 e outra vez Roma de 1669 a 1675 onde tentou reactivar o processo de canonização do Beato Inácio de Azevedo e obter o apoio do Papa que lhe concedeu isenção perante a Inquisição Portuguesa pelo breve de 17 de Abril de 1675. Em Roma tinha começado a rever os seus sermões e o primeiro volume foi publicado em Lisboa em 1679. Em 27 de Janeiro de 1681 partiu para o Brasil tendo vivido até ao momento da sua morte perto da BaÃa ocupado na revisão dos seus sermões e em especial na redacção da sua obra de teologia e profética: <em>Clavis Prophetarum</em>.</p>_x000d_<p>Ref: Padre António Vieira.

18434025Berkeley: T.R. Marvin 1843. First edition. Very Good . Original publisher's cloth binding with gilt to front board. Minor loss of cloth to crown of spine. Faint residue of removed library label to spine and front board. Peach endpapers. Light scattered foxing as is typical of the period. Inscribed on the front endpaper by Ward's husband the compiler: "Reverend Mr. Ellingwood with the respects of J.W. Ward." Bookplate on the front pastedown reveals that the recipient Rev. Ellingwood went on to donate the volume to the Theological Seminary of Bangor Maine. A scarce and important example of a published American elegiac volume produced in this case by an eminent family to mourn the loss of an educated woman. Memoirs is unrecorded by OCLC and has never appeared at auction. <br /> <br /> In their marriage James Wilson Ward and Hetta Lord Hayes Ward united two prominent Northeastern families. A senator and Congregationalist minister James descended from the founders of Plymouth and had attended Andover and Amherst. Hetta the daughter of a judge and niece of a Dartmouth president was herself a graduate of Miss Grant's Seminary Academy. The present volume released "exclusively for private circulation among the friends of the deceased" is a testament to Hetta's value not as a daughter who married well or a wife who effectively managed a house but as a companion an intellectual and an individual. In this sense it deconstructs the period's expectations of separate spheres or hierarchy between sexes. With an opening letter by Susan Hayes Hetta's mother as well as a copy of the eulogy conducted by her husband the book reveals vast details about who Hetta was as a person. Both describe her as tender and affectionate; but time and again emphasis is placed on her mind. Though Hetta was skillful with a needle as a child according to her mother "her numberless questions interested and surprised me.She acquired a fondness for poetry.She became as much interested in the in the study of the exact sciences as in the works of imagination making herself acquainted with the higher branches of Mathematics Algebra Geometry etc." James similarly eulogizes his wife. What becomes clear is that he is grieving the loss of a companion and equal. "If we have found a friend of distinguished excellence and for years rejoiced with that friend in mutual interchange and warm affections it is natural when death intervenes and separates us from the dear object of our love to contemplate their virtues.First characteristic which I would notice which she possessed in an eminent degree is an ardent love of truth.She possessed great powers of abstraction.She saw with great clearness the point of an argument and was quick to distinguish between sophistry.She loved to trace the workings of the human mind." Not satisfied simply to have their own testaments to Hetta's extraordinary mind the compilers included to the last half of the book a collection of her own poetry and prose.<br /> <br /> A scarce work in a genre underappreciated in American literature and history. Such coterie publications of intimate mourning were uncommon for the time particularly for a woman.<br /> <br /> National Cyclopedia of American Biography 148. Very Good . T.R. Marvin unknown

Original green cloth attractively blocked in gilt on the front board and in blind at the rear; spine ruled and lettered in gilt; covers a little worn and marked with the binding a little shaken; acidic paper tanned with the folding facsimile document splitting at one fold; mounts a little cockled; trifling loss to the corner-tip of one photograph; page 29 printed close to the right-hand edge an imposition error during production; a few mild signs of age and handling; a very good copy of a rare and important work with the photographs in excellent condition. An early ownership signature on an initial blank is proving difficult to decipher Ruppard Sheppard. The original photographs that illustrate the book are almost certainly the work of Captain Samuel Sweet see Robert Holden: 'Photography in Colonial Australia. The Mechanical Eye and the Illustrated Book' 1988. We have handled a number of copies of this work and this copy conforms with what we suggest might be called the first and most desirable issue of these photographs. The substance of the book was derived from a 48-question circular compiled by George Taplin and 'distributed to all the keepers of aborigines' depots throughout the colony and to all persons who are known to be acquainted with the manners customs and languages of the aborigines'; the value of the work may be judged by the editor's remark in the introduction 'that much information has been elicited and that most of the papers show that the writers have used their powers of observation in an intelligent manner'. The untimely death of Taplin in June 1879 at the early age of 47 may account for the failure of further volumes in the series to materialize. <p>Ferguson 16711; Holden 105 and pages 49-51. E.

On offer is a super original pre World War II 1937 to 1940 manuscript diary and scrapbook compiled and handwritten by the Reverend C.H. von Glahn of Curtis Corners South Kingstown Rhode Island. The book paints a very complete picture of the life and times of this honoured religious figure and beloved family man all the while with the back drop of international events and the impending War. The Reverend begins the large well filled 11 x 8 inch 300 page book noting the book was a Christmas Day gift from his grandson Jack which is plenty of motivation for him to keep up with his writings. His inspiration obviously works as the book will please any historian or collector of the history and background of Rhode Island at the time as the writings are given the further depth of being littered with clippings notes and photographs.

1839152017New York: Printed by S.W. Benedict 1839. Rare early improved edition of this prominent religious leader's influential call for America to end slavery. Duodecimo contemporary brown paper boards. In very good condition signatures to the front free endpaper. Anti-Slavery Manual Containing a Collection of Facts and Arguments on American Slavery 1837 is a foundational document of the American abolitionist movement written by the Reverend La Roy Sunderland 1802-1885 a Methodist Episcopal minister and one of the most energetic and theologically grounded anti-slavery agitators of the antebellum period. Published at a moment of intense national controversy over the question of slavery the volume assembles a systematic compendium of factual evidence statistical documentation legal analysis and moral argument designed to equip abolitionists with the intellectual armament necessary to counter proslavery arguments in the public arena. Sunderland who had co-founded the American Anti-Slavery Society alongside William Lloyd Garrison and Theodore Weld and edited the Methodist abolitionist journal Zion's Watchman approached the subject with the disciplined rhetoric of a preacher trained to marshal Scripture and evidence in service of a moral cause making the Anti-Slavery Manual simultaneously a work of theological argument and empirical documentation. The volume was sufficiently influential to be issued in multiple editions and printings in 1837 alone and is today held in the collections of Harvard University and the Library of Congress.

Provenance: John Michael Skipper 1815-1883 artist solicitor and South Australian pioneer with his ownership initials on the engraved title page of the first volume and his signature and most interesting inscription of the front free endpaper of the second volume: 'J M.

18494369New York:: V.G. Audubon 1849-54. First Royal Octavo Edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. A fine original hand-colored lithograph on paper. Royal Octavo 10.5 x 7 inches. Drawn from nature by John Audubon drawn on stone by William E. Hitchcock and lithographed printed and colored by JT Bowen Philadelphia. Accompanied by the original text written by the Reverend John Bachman DD. The Quadrupeds of North America; portrayals of 155 four-legged mammals native to North America depicted in their natural environment was a collaborative effort between the premier nineteenth century American Ornithologist Naturalist Artist and Frontiersman John James Audubon 1785-1851 his sons John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon and the naturalist Reverend John Bachman. The four men were unified in their desire to document and portray what they recognized as a dwindling resource; America's native animals amidst the natural beauty of the untouched American landscape. Their collective wisdom predicted the impending effects of Manifest Destiny- man's encroachment on the wilderness and natural landscape of North America- and as such was the impetus for the journey. To document and then portray America's native animals in the splendor and majesty of the uninhabited North American landscape the team traveled westward from Audubon's home in Mill Grove Pennsylvania up the Missouri River and through territory just previously explored by Lewis and Clark; from the Canadian border of the Northern Russian Territories- now Alaska- then southward to Mexico. Arduous and monumental the journey is recognized in the pathos of the compositions. However the true legacy of the work rests on John James Audubon's prolific vision and mastery of his subject and medium. Heretofore unseen The Quadrupeds of North American is a wildlife classic: an essential and timeless contribution to both Early American culture and the Art of American Wildlife Painting. The American Review a Whig journal heralded the national origin of the Quadrupeds: "We have at last have a Great National Work; originated and completed among us- authors artists and artisans of which are our own citizens the Bible of Nature!"
