Ainda em 1754 apareceu um volume com doze sermões de Vieira pregados todos em louvor de Santo António e que se dá como tomo décimo sexto da coleção embora já tivessem sido impressos nos quinze volumes anteriores. Estes sermões foram muitas vezes reimpressos mas sem se lhes dar o carácter de edição nova reimprimindo-se sem se alterar a data dos volumes que iam escasseando já muito no mercado.</p>_x000d_<p>PADRE ANTÓNIO VIEIRA Lisboa 1608 - Salvador Brasil 1697 considerado por muitos como o maior escritor português é 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 atividades 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.<br /><br />Mais importante ainda foi a sua prolongada e dedicada atividade 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.<br /><br />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 rever e acompanhar a publicação dos sermões que os tornou obras literárias de grande valor e não apenas o frio registo das suas capacidades oratórias.<br /><br />Em 1614 Vieira foi para a BaÃa com a famÃlia e ingressou no Colégio da Companhia de Jesus onde segundo uma lenda superou inesperadas dificuldades de aprendizagem destacando-se pelas suas habilidades intelectuais e linguÃsticas o que lhe valeu em 1625 aos 17 anos a tarefa de redigir o relatório anual evento conhecido como o «Estalo de Vieira». Em 1623 iniciou o noviciado familiarizando-se com a cultura e a lÃngua tupi e em 1625 fez os primeiros votos começando a ensinar retórica em Olinda. Ordenado sacerdote em 1634 tornou-se conhecido como orador realizando a sua primeira pregação oficial na BaÃa. Em 1641 acompanhou a Lisboa o filho do Vice-rei do Brasil iniciando uma fase como conselheiro polÃtico de D. João IV e missões diplomáticas na Europa. Em Roma reviu os seus sermões publicando o primeiro volume em 1679 e recebeu isenção da Inquisição. Regressou ao Brasil em 1681 onde se dedicou até à sua morte à revisão dos sermões e à redação da sua obra teológica «Clavis Prophetarum».</p>_x000d_<p>DIONÃSIO TEIXEIRA DE AGUIAR c. 1720 - foi familiar do Santo OfÃcio e mostra uma grande admiração pelo padre António Vieira e pela Companhia de Jesus.

1903250806003Raleigh North Carolina: Self-published Reverend Morgan Landon Latta 1903. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Rare true first edition of the controversial autobiography of Reverend Morgon London Latta.<br /> <br /> IMPORTANCE<br /> <br /> Born into slavery from a background of poverty from which he successfully emerged Latta is a polarizing historical figure. In some circles Latta is recognized in as an important leader in Black education during post-Reconstruction. For others he is a fraudulent schemer whose autobiography was found to be filled with falsehoods and exaggerations of the truth that were used to exploit Northerners into donating to fund his university Latta University donations largely misappropriated for personal use - a scandal which ultimately shut down Latta university and tarnished his image. <br /> <br /> Condition- VG - ex-library. <br /> <br /> Note: I rarely sell ex-library but a true first edition of this infamous and fascinating "autobiography" rarely comes up for sale. All other copies I currently see listed as of this posting as first editions are actually the 1923-24 reprint. This copy would be a $3-5k book if not ex-library.<br /> <br /> ABOUT THE BOOK<br /> <br /> Self-published in 1903 by the author in Raleigh North Carolina. True first edition first printing as indicated by green cloth with brown black and gilt pictorial decorated top cover with the central image of a rural cabin scene and the correct 371 total pages the reprint of 1923-1924 with the 1903 copyright was significantly expanded to 600 pages. Octavo 8 3/8" x 6" 371 pp. Black and white photo illustrations. <br /> <br /> ABOUT THE AUTHOR <br /> <br /> Rev. Morgan London Latta L.L.D. 1853 -1937 was an African American educator who operated a fraudulent scheme to solicit and misappropriate funds. He founded Latta University in Raleigh North Carolina and used it to exploit the goodwill of Northern donors during the post-Reconstruction era. Despite the exposure for his criminal misconduct which brought an end to his school and standing Latta's legacy continues to be commemorated in Raleigh as a pioneer in Black education. <br /> <br /> Latta founded Latta University in Oberlin Village an antebellum enclave established by free Blacks in West Raleigh. Latta University received its official incorporation on February 15 1894 following the acquisition of land in Oberlin Village and fundraising efforts to finance its construction a process spanning three years. Latta traveled across the North making speeches and fundraising for the university. Despite numerous primary accounts and documents revealing his autobiography to be false it played a crucial role in his fundraising efforts and decades later in establishing his legacy.<br /> <br /> In 2019 Morgan Latta was inducted into the Raleigh Hall of Fame stating "Reverend Latta's history and legacy continues to inspire children from all backgrounds through programming by the City of Raleigh and the Latta House Foundation." <br /> <br /> CONDITION REPORT<br /> <br /> VERY GOOD - ex-library. Library numbering stamp on spine stamp on bottom of introduction page and rear pastedown with the library card and pocket for Hartford Public Library in Connecticut. <br /> <br /> The book was donated to the library by Henry J. Belden. His name appears on the gift bookplate of the library and his name is signed in pencil on the introduction page. Front board a bit loose. Sun-faded spine. Rubbed extremities. Corners bumped several large stains on back board and top text block edge. Mildly rubbed top cover. Lightly toned pages. Darkening and cracked gutter between two pictures preceding title page.

1822631<p>2-volume set 1822 first editions</p><p>John Campbell 1766-1840 was a Scottish missionary and traveler. He was passionate about Christian philanthropy which led to his founding of the Magdalene Society in 1793 and the Missionary Magazine Edinburgh in 1796. He travelled to preach in neglected villages promoting the establishment of Sunday schools. The Magdalen Asylum to help prostitutes in England and Glasgow founded by Campbell was one of several societies he created to help those in need. He opposed the slave trade and became involved in the Society for the Education of Africans. Through collaboration with James Alexander Haldane he brought 30-40 African children to England to be educated. In 1812 he was sent by the London Missionary Society to inspect mission stations at the Cape. His account of the trip was published in 1815 on his return titled "Travels in South Africa undertaken at the request of the Missionary Society". Campbell returned to the Cape in 1819 this time to improve those mission stations that had fallen into neglect. In 1820 he travelled north from Cape to Mosega in Barotseland and the Kaditshwene settlement near the Limpopo River. He left Cape for England in 1821 and published two further volumes covering his journey.</p> Francis Westley hardcover

It is presumed that the question whether Wisconsin is yet a part of the Diocese of Michigan as claimed by the worthy Prelate of that Diocese . . . or are we separated & no longer for and integral part thereof. . . This question is now assuming a very serious aspect for the Vestry of Christ's Church Green Bay. . . There are now four resident Clergymen in this Territory . . . three in the employ of the Board of Domestic Missions. We have but one organized Church who has no Rector the Rev R. F. Cadle having resigned. . . It is also anticipated that . . . a church will be organized at Milwaukee & also that the Garrison at Fort Winnebago will organize themselves into a Parish. I have felt . . . as if it was unwise to agitate the question in our present situation & particularly as it regards questions of jurisdictions with Michigan but I would wish your advice. For if we are fully separated from Michigan & have the right to form a new Diocese . . . it would be prudent to do so. . .

Spotting is minimal appearing substantially confined to the endpapers and page edges. The same single clearly vintage owner name is inked to the upper right corner of each title page. <br /> <br />This U.S. edition RE-PRINTED FOR RICHARD LEE in Philadelphia in 1796 by DUNNING HYER AND PALMER PRINTERS followed the British edition of 1795 J. Ridgeway London. This work was the product of the incarceration of the author - Reverend William Winterbotham 1763-1829. Winterbothams prosecution was a celebrated instance of overreaction by the authorities through nervousness in the wake of the French Revolution. <br /> <br />The sixth of fifteen children Winterbotham left school after an argument with the schoolmaster and thereafter apprenticed to a silversmith. He eventually started in business for himself as a silver buckle-maker but illness forced a temporary return to his parents. His early dissolute life changed when he underwent conversion. In 1787 he began to preach and in 1789 became a Baptist. In this newly found zealous life he ran afoul of the politics of the day. <br /> <br />In a sermon on 5 November 1792 on the double anniversary of the 1605 Gunpowder Plot and the revolution of 1688 Winterbotham made reference to the French Revolution and to contemporary abuses as he saw it of the contract between king and people. This aroused local feeling and a prosecution was talked of. In an attempt to put matters right he preached a sermon on 18 November but on 25 and 26 July 1793 he was tried at the Exeter assizes for both sermons and found guilty. The result was a significant fine and imprisonment most of which he spent at Newgate prison. <br /> <br />It was in Newgate that Winterbotham wrote An Historical Geographical and Philosophical View of the Chinese Empire as well as An Historical Geographical Commercial and Philosophical View of the American United States. Upon release from Newgate in November 1797 Winterbotham returned to preaching. He was publicly ordained in 1801. He was frequently invited to preach around the country and in 1812 was one of the signatories to the formation of the Baptist Union.

18430001770Baltimore Maryland MD - at Sea Aboard the Charles 1843. On offer are two 2 super original manuscript relics of Christian outreach and missionary work handwritten by Reverend Walter Gunn one of the first missionaries to India addressed to Frederick Schott of Waterloo New York. Bio notes follow. The first is a one 1 page letter written by Gunn dated 1843 while in Baltimore. The second letter is written by Rev. Gunn while on the boat "The Charles" heading to India in 1844. He has been at sea for 138 days. This is a 3¼ page letter. Here are snippets: 1 "Baltimore May 24 1843 Dear Brother in the Lord I should like to write a long letter to you and enter into many particulars but I have but only a few moments to spare as Bro Selmser is soon to leave B. and I have a press of business on hand. Well how do you do. How is your family and how do your souls prosper. Is Christ precious are you actively engaged in his service. O my brother watch your heart your words and your actions and strive to live so that the flame of love may burn brightly in your heart to God. How pleasant it would be for me to enjoy the hospitalities of your table again to bow with you again around the family altar to walk to the house of God in company but instead of walking the street of Waterloo I shall soon be walking the deck of the vessel that bears me to the heathen land. But shall I ever forget you and the beloved brethren of W. No. Even now while going from house to house among the brethren in imagination the tears fall upon the paper and bedew these lines I write .Your brother in Christ Walter Gunn." 2 "Ship Charles Indian Ocean March 25th 1844 Dear Brother Shutt While penning these lines I am sailing up the Indian Ocean towards the shores of Hindustan. I have crossed the equator twice doubled the Cape of Good Hope and shall in a few weeks I trust reach my field of labor. But though I am separated from you by a distance of so many thousand miles I have not forgotten you no in imagination I often walk the streets of Waterloo visit the houses of the brethren and join in your acts of worship in the congregation. The different articles of apparel that I wear at this moment remind me of you and many others in W. While contemplating the interesting scenes that transpire in your place one year ago my eyes often fill with tears. Were not those precious and heavenly seasons when you and so many of your associates and friends took a stand on the Lord's side. Though I am now denied the privilege of witnessing such glorious displays of the power and grace of God in the conviction and conversion of sinners I do not on that account conclude that I am out of the path of duty. True it would be a pleasing task for the minister of Christ to be engaged daily in the work of directing the inquiring to the Savior and strengthening those who had just commenced running the Christian course. But that privilege at present is denied me. From no one for the last few months have I heard the inquiry "What must I do to be saved." Except the missionaries who are going with me to the heathen. I am surrounded by those who seem to think but little of their undying souls .You will undoubtedly wish to know how I feel now that I am so far away from kindred friends and natives land with but little prospect of ever seeing them again. To answer for the most part I feel cheerful contented and happy. Often have I seen the ocean all lashed into commotion the vessel at one moment raised upon the top of a mighty billow and the next plunged into the fearful chasm below; at such a moment it seemed as though we must all be engulfed beneath the troubled ocean but even then my mind has been calm and unruffled .Tell your sister Mrs. Bean that the pantaloons she made me became very spotted by the damp weather around the Cape of Good Hope but that the spots did not make them any the less comfortable. Tell Jackson that I hope and pray that he may become a minister. Tell Mrs. Mayer that my wife often speaks of her and the pleasant time that they spent together in Johnstown and Whitesboro. Tomorrow or next day we expect that our vessel will anchor in the harbor of Amherst in Burmah. One hundred and thirty eight days I have been tossed upon the billows of the ocean without setting my feet on land and many more anxious days will pass before I reach Guntur the field of my labor. Pray for me and my companion that we may be preserved from the temptations to which we are exposed and that we may be the faithful servants of Christ among the heathen. Yours in the bonds of Christian love Walter Gunn. Near the shores of Burmah April 3rd 1844." BIO NOTES: "The Rev. W. Gunn. The Missionary was a graduate of Union College N.Y. in 1841; studied theology at Gettysburg; was ordained by the Hartwick Synod in 1843 at Johnstown; appointed missionary to India in the same year; arrived at Guntur on June 18th 1844 and was a faithful and an indefatigable colleague of the Rev. Mr. Heyer until 1851 when after a period of seven years service in the cause of Jesus he departed this life at Guntur esteemed and loved by all who knew him. He is spoken of as a good man full of zeal for the Lord so much so that on one occasion in the Guntur bazaar he became so indignant at some idolatrous performances of the heathen that he lifted up his voice in great earnest against the idolaters who became exasperated at him and consequently proceeded to pelt him with stones. But he prudently withdrew from the enraged rabble only to return on subsequent occasions to continue publishing the message of salvation to them. His remains rest in the Guntur Cemetery until the day of the resurrection. He died while in Guntur in 1851 from Tuberculosis." "Reverend Adam Long went to India almost immediately after being ordained. The Lutheran mission to India was still in its early phases when Long arrived it have been started in the Andhra region by Rev. John Christian Frederick Heyer in 1842 who at 48 and widowed was an anomaly compared to other missionaries. He was joined by the Rev. and Mrs. Water Gunn another Gettysburg College and Seminary graduate in 1844 and by Rev. George Martz in 1849. There these men and Gunn's wife Lorena began the task of educating and converting Indians. In a country that is dominated by the polytheistic Hinduism and Mohammedanism this was not an easy task. Traveling from village to village these men and women counted their accomplishments by the individuals that they could convert and the schools and churches that they built. .

This unpublished Manuscript of an unfinished Work on the History of Finger - Rings by Reverend James Beck includes for example the following chapters: - History of Finger Rings Eqyptians as true inventors of the Finger Ring "according to Pliny the Greeks could not have known of them at the time of the Trojan Wars as no mention of them is made by Homer" - Beck dissects the meaning of Rings on certain fingers and explains why the "Ring Finger" was chosen as such: "By some this finger is called the digitus medicus or medicinalis but its more correct name is annularis Digitus anularis today known as Ring Finger" ".it was selected as annular finger because it was less employed than any of the others & it was protected by the middle & little finger hence as Atteus Capito says it was better suited for preserving a Ring. Aulus Gellius mentions that the anatomists had discovered a vein which extended from the Heart to the fourth finger of the left hand & that on this account it was selected as the ring finger." The Manuscript makes further cases for Rings worn on the other fingers on the hand. Includes sections on: - Signet Rings / Signet Rings with Crystals and Enamels / Rebus / Letters and Coronets / Signet Heraldic - Rings with angraved Cameos - Sergeant at Law - Rings The manuscript includes a larger section on Rings for Serjeants at Law - Rings of Investiture / Rings for Poet Laureates - Xtian Rings Christian Rings / Iconographic Rings - Rings for Prelates - Doctors of Divinity - Canons & Priests - Rings for Consegrated Virgins / Rings used as Reliquaries "The custom of putting Relics with Rings" - Rings as Gifts at Marriage of Servants / Ring Money - Ad Memoriam Ring etc. etc. - Finger Rings as Charms against Diseases "annali virtuosi" Beck lists here a story of a Charm - Ring against Epilepsy which was found at Kemp Weston in Somerset - Finger Rings as Talisman "Crapaudine - Talismanie" - Rings with merchant Marks Attractive quarto bound in half deep red morocco over cloth covered boards with gilt lettering. Blue endpapers and paper stock throughout; circular stamp of Assay Office Library Birmingham on flyleaf. A sequence of pasted letters about 10 pages in all precede the manuscript starting with a letter to Beck from Thomas Clifford Allbutt inventor of the Clinical Thermometer and co-founder with Sir William Osler of the History of Medicine Society from the Royal Archaeological Institute about works held in their library on finger rings; a book order form from W H Smith; and a brief note from the former Bishop of Glasgow Walter Trower. Becks manuscript has a typed title page and is dated circa 1872. His history of rings runs to 69 pages with an additional 11 pages of notes laid down on the blue paper stock. Beck proceeds from the ancient Egyptians through the classical world occasionally adding illustrations dealing with signet rings and rings of office such as the Serjeant of Law as well as the ring of the poets laureate. The final notes become increasingly fragmentary at the end. James Beck 1819/20-1886 was educated at Corpus Christi College Cambridge serving as Rector of Parham Sussex and subsequently of Bildeston Suffolk; in 1867 he married Caroline Jeannette Bignell Walter. This volumes has the feeling of a family memento probably bound up after Becks death to preserve his hard work on this fascinating subject. Source of Description: Dr.Christian White. hardcover

16764401855London: R. Royston 1676. Preliminaries thumbed a bit foxed and a few scattered stains; binding scuffed and worn at extremities with some loss of the headband rear board stained. Folio with a frontispiece and double page 'Tree of Faith' plate trimmed and mounted on plain paper several other cuts in the text title-page printed in black and red; contemporary English crimson calf gilt unlettered spine with ornately gilt-decorated panels between raised bands. <p><p>The second of several editions of this history of the early church illustrated with remarkable cuts depicting the apostles persecuted in all manner of ways including crucifixion immolation and the dreaded 'cauldron of boyling oyl'. Each apostle is awarded a separate chapter and is depicted both beatified and under duress. William Cave 1637-1713 was a minister and scholar of Church history who took his Doctor of Divinity at Cambridge before serving as vicar of Islington and later in London. He was chaplain to Charles II and Canon of Windsor. Cave's primary area of expertise was the early history of the Church and following the structure of Eusebius of Caesarea he weaves the lives of the apostles into a close narrative that illuminates arcane early theology for his reader successfully making the early history of the Church accessible to a wider audience: 'what is significant about Cave's writings is that they follow the tradition of Christian bio-bibliography that in late antiquity and into the medieval period had such a long and rich history and which was revived in the Reformation. Cave's works provide valuable evidence for the interest in patristic scholarship at the end of the seventeenth century.' ODB.</p> </p> .
