6915London 1783-1816: George Eyre and Andrew Strahan Printers. Hard Cover. Folio 12" X 18 ½". The first four volumes are as follows; Vol. #1-382 leaves Vol. #2-450pp.Vol. #3- 570pp. index vol. Vol. #4-635pp. supplement vol. All are handsomely bound in 19th century ¾ calf over marbled boards raised bands with contrasting red morocco labels gilt. Joints of two volumes expertly repaired; an exceptionally nice set and quite scarce as such. There are 26 blank leaves in volume one with a few leaves containing portions of text or text on the verso. It would appear that these leaves were left blank for illustrations which evidently never took place perhaps because of the cost and manpower it would take to make it possible. The projected cost and labor is noted in volume 3. It does contain the later inserted title pages and contents leaves and the four facsimile leaves are present in the last volume the supplement two displaying hand coloring. The first two volumes are printed on hand-made laid paper watermarked "J. Whatman" and coat-of-arms with the King's Initials "GR". The last two volumes printed on hand-made wove paper by Balston & C. all uncut and wide margined. The last page cvii of the general introduction of the third volume states: "It was not however till after 1770 that the work was actually commenced. It was completed early in 1783 having been ten years in passing through the press. The type with which it was executed was destroyed in the fire which consumed Mr. Nichols' printing-office in the month of February 1808." The book itself was proposed by Mr. John Nichols and executed by Mr. Joseph Jackson and printed by George Eyre and Andrew Strahan. While title pages were added later and dated 1816 printed on the last page of volume three is the printers' names and date1811 and volume four is dated 1816. The Domesday Book was commissioned in December 1085 by William the Conqueror who invaded England in 1066. The Domesday Book project was a major undertaking employing many transcribers of the manuscripts and type makers to design the special type used. It is one of the most ancient records of England and represents an amazing accomplishment. It is the Register from which judgment was to be given upon the value tenure and services of the land. Another point on which the Domesday Survey throws considerable light is the history of the ancient Castles which William erected everywhere. By the completion of this survey the King acquired an exact knowledge of the possessions of the crown. It afforded him names of the land holders and the means of ascertaining the military strength of the country. It also pointed out the possibility of increasing the revenue in some cases and of lessening the demands of the tax collectors in others. The Domesday Book also left exact records behind which give historians today much data about Norman English life and the first appearance of English names. At the end of the introduction to volume four pertaining to the "Bolden Book" is a section considered to be the most important work of the supplement; it is from the Laud MSS. 542. Contained herein is a manuscript note stating; "This account of the 'Bolden Book' was written by me; I also transcribed MS. Laud collated it with the others & prepared the whole for the press as it appeared in that volume. signed Adam Clarke. Adam Clarke was a noted commentator and theological writer who lived in London after 1805. He wrote English translations and new editions of other men's books a bibliographical dictionary in six volumes and many other very important works during his lifetime. He was also a member of the Society of Antiquaries of London. Our only reasoning for this note is the fact that while Clarke transcribed the Laud MS. his name was not acknowledged as the transcriber and does not appear within the text. Only those either of high office or directly involved in its publication had their names included. see DNB Vol iv p. 413 Provenance: Hudson Gurney of Keswick 1775-1864 his book with his signature on the front free endpaper of the first volume. <br/><br/> George Eyre and Andrew Strahan, Printers hardcover books
181619535Rutland Vt. n. p. 1816. Second edition. A bit browned and worn; a very good copy. Stab-stitched unbound pamphlet stitching appears renewed at an early date 7.25 x 4.5 inches 12 pages untrimmed. The subject of the following letters has excited a very considerable degree of curiosity among the inhabitants of this place and its neighborhood; and as various representations respecting this business have been made the printer hereof solicited and obtained the privilege of the original papers with a view of introducing them for the perusal and patronage of the public. It is highly probable that the Prophet was a disciple of Brothers for like him her pretends an immediate commission from Almighty God although he does not claim a new relationship. . . . From motives of delicacy his name will be suppressed in the publication as it may injure the feelings of his family." An uncommon account of a curious attempt at divine extortion: beginning on August 5 1796 Abraham Morhouse began to receive letters from a self-styled prophet of God who wrote that he had been commanded by the Lord to order Morhouse to take "the exact sum of two thousand pounds current lawful money truly told and bear it hence to the bridge across the stream near the old potash works adjacent to town; cross the bridge and turn to the right hand and place the same down at the bottom of the bridge in plain open view." As the days drew on and Morhouse quite sensibly refused to make payment the letters became increasingly threatening "I tell thee that if thou now refusest to comply with what my Lord and master hath sent me unto thee to demand in this extraordinary way and manner that thou shalt so sure as thy soul liveth before many days be convinced of his power; for the one half of thy body and the one half of thy limbs and thy joints shall become as dead flesh whilst thou art alive: Wounds shall be grievous and past cure in thy secret parts; works shall gnaw thy flesh" until the erstwhile prophet was taken up and clapped into jail--at which point his correspondence to Morhouse takes on a rather more servile and flattering cast until after four days of incarceration Morhouse has asked the local magistrates for clemency and sent along a little money to help the scoundrel out as "the consequences to his family may be serious by deranging his pecuniary affairs which I fear are already in a state of embarrassment." Morhouse himself appears to have been something of a scoundrel; DeWitt Clinton wrote that he was "a complete villain who was pardoned when under sentence of death" and indeed he moved to Louisiana and became among other things a bigamist; he apparently died in 1812 and the reasons for the republication of this account in Vermont remain something of a mystery--though one suspects that perhaps the anonymous prophet had settled in Vermont. There do not appear to be any extant 18th century editions despite references in Sabin etc. and the 1802 Bennington edition is noted at UVM and AAS only on OCLC 12/2019.
