Evident third edition; first appearance under this title. An enlarged revision of two earlier editions of 1890 and 1895 both titled Bazaar Cook Book. Three hundred attributed recipes gathered one surmises on the occasion of the two hundredth anniversary of the congregation's recognition as a parish of the "West Division" of Hartford. Among items of interest: Turbot á la créme baked in layers Beauregard Eggs visiting from points south Dolly Varden Cake a still-circulating tribute to a character from Dickens Ripe Currant Pie Hickory Nut Macaroons and Crab Apple Ginger. ~ At the turn of the eighteenth century the townspeople of Hartford supported three Congregationalist churches: First Church Second Church now South Church and Third Church today known as First Church of East Hartford. In 1711 approval was obtained to create a parish in the West Division and by 1713 a Fourth Church stood at what is now the corner of Farmington Avenue and Main Street. Several meeting houses would accommodate members in succession there and later on the opposite corner of the intersection. ~ After the separate incorporation of West Hartford in 1854 the fourth parish became the First Church of the new town. In June of 1882 a Gothic Revival edifice of Monson granite - Greystone Church - was dedicated noted for its grand stained glass windows and the pipe organ which had been salvaged from its predecessor across the street. One of its rooms served as West Hartford's Free Library until 1917 when the church's books were relocated to form the nucleus of the Noah Webster Public Library's collections. Which is to say that Greystone Church had become integral as a landmark of the town. One that perished sadly in a tumultuous fire in early January 1942. ~ Fine in publisher's light brown wrappers titled in darker brown backed in brown cloth. Scarce.

186641774Manor Township Lancaster County PA 1866. First edition. Matted and framed size 22 x 17 1/2 inches. A near fine copy a few minor spots and folds. 1 sheet. Illus. with 1 engraving. 17 x 12 1/2 inches. Two facing pages folded open. On the left side is a partially printed indenture form completed in manuscript providing a deed of rights to an improved safety bridle and line signed by Stehman and Christ of H. H. Stehman & Co. on 24 August 1866. They granted production and sale rights to Amos and Edward Reeder for Bucks County for $300. On the right side are the directions illustrated with an engraving of a horse's head. Given the existence of a printed form and the limitation of the sales area this was no doubt a franchise intended to be granted to multiple producers. There is a revenue stamp affixed at the left margin. The original patent from the Commissioner's Report reads "No. 52139. Amos B. Christ and Henry H. Stehman Manor Township Penn. Safety Bridle. January 23 1866. This invention consists in the application to the bit of a check snap which is brought over side pulleys in buckles and carried through the ring of the bit and in attaching short branches on to the ring on said safety or check strap and the other elastic attached to the ring of the bit in the ordinary manner so that a single line can be used either in driving one or two horses by the use of the branch attachments. Claim: First the combination of a strap E and roller E with a safety strap B having one end affixed to the ring A of the bridle bit and carried up over a roller and then down through the ring A of the bit to its connecting and retaining ring D in the manner and for the purpose specified.

1679D11030Lyon: Chez Pierre Guillimin 1679. Hardcover. Very Good. Lyon: Chez Pierre Guillimin M.DC.LXXIX 1679. 8vo 150 x 80mm. 428pp. 43. Full page engraved frontispiece depicting a worshipper at the foot of the cross laden with Passion instruments crown of thorns sponge on reed withes ladder spear pillar with caption Les souffrances & la mort Dun DIEV pour nous Nôtre Continuelle. Meditation. The suffering and death of God for us is our continual meditation. Woodcut device of heraldic shield and cardinals hat with tassels on title. Woodcut chapter head vignettes and tailpieces one repeating of Evangelist John on isle of Patmos and another of Veronicas veil and woodcut historiated initials mostly birds throughout. Dedicated to LÂme Chrétienne. The Christian Soul. Italic and Roman type. Contemporary speckled calf spine gilt in compartments; joints splitting light edgewear; margins trimmed close affecting few engravings. Front pastedown with book label of Justin Godart 1871-1956 a French politician and bibliophile of Lyon. Godarts personal library stamp is also on title with the Lyonnais lion. Internet records show that the library of Justin Godart was sold at auction in Paris by Hôtel Drouot in 1957. Importantly this book remained part of the local fabric of the French city from its publication to over 275 years. Stated seventh edition of this devotional text on the Passion of Christ printed by a public brotherhood of Catholics although no other editions located. It is a highly uncommon pocket prayer book with little traceable history save the fact that this same 1679 edition appeared in an auction by Techener in 1861. Another Meditations publication by the same society appears 39 years later as the Nouvelle édition Chez Barthelemy Martin 1718 now held in the Public Library of Lyon. This elusive and largely anonymous French Catholic confraternity probably a local chapter of Lyon likely had various periods of flourishing and disbands or did not make large print-runs of their books possibly explaining the scarcity. <br/><br/>The aim of this brotherhoods untitled publication was to disseminate widely the prayers and reflections to be offered daily first day of the month second day etc. for the suffering of Christ. By publishing a text like this the brothers would in effect be gathering lower orders to participate in penitential exercises which is in itself an act of devotion and which would win them indulgences. In total there are 41 copperplate engravings attributed to François Houat who came from a family of printers and engravers in Northern France. These engravings are exceptional for their dramatic shadows and perspectives. As well the Guillimin publishers were known for their Catholic devotional imprints. For 31 days a full-page copperplate engraved scene of Christs Passion with captions precedes each daily reflection. The daily meditations build up chronologically ending with Christs death on the cross. Full-page engravings are also for Litany of the Passion Litany to the Infant Christ Nativity Lent repeating frontispiece Resurrection Ascension Pentecost the Blessed Sacrament and the emblemata of the brotherhood skull instruments of Passion candle and hourglass. French penitent confraternities survived during the early modern centuries as they underwent several transformations which made them more reflective of French as opposed to Italian devotional sensibilities. They enjoyed prestige and spiritual currency in Catholic society right up the Revolution. Chez Pierre Guillimin hardcover books

Its separation from the Latter Day Saints occurred in the schism of 1844 after the murder of Joseph Smith and the ensuing dispute over the succession.
