Cambridge: James Field 1664. 12mo. 1 f 171 1 blank pp. lacks blank leaf k6.<br>Â Â Â Â The mid-17th century was a low point in the history of English typography but in this pair of Anglican religious texts James Field printer to the University of Cambridge produced => a very good example of the printer's art of Greek printing especially in the use of a small point size. The guiding force behind their production was James Duport 160679 dean of Peterborough and master of Magdelene College Cambridge a noted scholar of Latin and Greek and supporter of the university press. The preface to the Book of Common Prayer is signed with his initials and it is established that he was the editor of the Psalms; the texts were almost certainly issued together but are also at times found individually in contemporary binding.<br>Â Â Â Â Field's minute typography here is dense and presented chiefly in double-column format in both works; and instead of woodcut head- or tailpieces and xylographic initials he deploys printer's ornaments to enliven the text at the top of some sections and occasionally elsewhere. => The layout is overall lovely and thoughtful and the printing is extremely clear and precise.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary morocco with covers framed in a single blind fillet; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-stamped compartment decorations. Marbled endpapers all edges gilt. => All pages ruled in red in the best style of the era.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Isaac Watts 16741748 the godfather of English hymnody is also fondly remembered for his Psalms of David: Imitated in the Language of the New Testament a work that was reprinted over a thousand times. His ownership signature is on the blank leaf opposite the BCP title-page here. Later the volume was owned by Charles Mayo 17671858 a scholar of Old English who dated his ownership as "St. John's College Oxford 1787."

FIRST EDITION OF THE MOST COMPLETE OF ALL WORKS ON KING CHARLES I OF ENGLAND AND THE KINGDOM. Charles I 1600 – 1649 was King of England Scotland and Ireland from 27 March 1625 until his execution in 1649.<br />Charles was born into the House of Stuart as the second son of King James VI of Scotland. After his father inherited the English throne in 1603 he moved to England where he spent much of the rest of his life. He became heir apparent to the kingdoms of England Scotland and Ireland in 1612 upon the death of his elder brother Henry Frederick Prince of Wales.<br />After his accession in 1625 Charles quarreled with the English Parliament which sought to curb his royal prerogative. He believed in the divine right of kings and was determined to govern according to his own conscience. Many of his subjects opposed his policies in particular the levying of taxes without Parliamentary consent and perceived his actions as those of a tyrannical absolute monarch. His religious policies coupled with his marriage to a Catholic generated antipathy and mistrust from Reformed religious groups such as the English Puritans and Scottish Covenanters who thought his views too Catholic. He supported high church Anglican ecclesiastics and failed to aid continental Protestant forces successfully during the Thirty Years' War. His attempts to force the Church of Scotland to adopt high Anglican practices led to the Bishops' Wars strengthened the position of the English and Scottish parliaments and helped precipitate his own downfall.<br />From 1642 Charles fought the armies of the English and Scottish parliaments in the English Civil War. After his defeat in 1645 at the hands of the Parliamentarian New Model Army he fled north from his base at Oxford. Charles surrendered to a Scottish force and after lengthy negotiations between the English and Scottish parliaments was handed over to the Long Parliament in London. Charles refused to accept his captors' demands for a constitutional monarchy and temporarily escaped captivity in November 1647. Re-imprisoned on the Isle of Wight he forged an alliance with Scotland but by the end of 1648 the New Model Army had consolidated its control over England. Charles was tried convicted and executed for high treason in January 1649. The monarchy was abolished and the Commonwealth of England was established as a republic. The monarchy was restored in 1660 with Charles's son Charles II as king.<br />Archbishop William Laud whom Parliament beheaded during the war called Charles a "mild and gracious prince who knew not how to be or how to be made great." Charles was more sober and refined than his father but he was intransigent. He deliberately pursued unpopular policies that brought ruin on himself. Both Charles and James were advocates of the divine right of kings but while James's ambitions concerning absolute prerogative were tempered by compromise and consensus with his subjects Charles believed he had no need to compromise or even to explain his actions. He thought he was answerable only to God. "Princes are not bound to give account of their actions" he wrote "but to God alone". wiki</p> Printed by James Flesher for R.

Wing P-2842B; ESTC R207754. ◆Text lightly washed and pressed but still crisp faint foxing to lower edge of title page otherwise a fine fresh copy in an unworn binding.<br/> <br/> Written by an opinionated English cleric this is an extraordinarily rare pamphlet proposing an unusual fund to support young 17th century scholars. According to DNB the scheme outlined in the present work was meant "to support the university studies of young men of promise seeking entry into the ministry." The plan "was approved by John Worthington and Anthony Tuckney and had the support also of John Arrowsmith DD Ralph Cudworth William Dillingham DD and Benjamin Whichcote. The fund raised about £900 and it appears that William Sherlock afterwards dean of St Paul's received assistance from this fund during his studies at Peterhouse Cambridge until 1660 when he graduated BA. Those entrusted with administering the fund sent Poole regular reports on students interviewed and the ratings they had received in philosophy logic and languages. The scheme was abandoned at the Restoration." Poole 1624 - 79 was the author of a number of controversialist pamphlets on subjects ranging from Unitarianism to preaching by lay persons before undertaking his major work: a synthesis of critical biblical commentaries "Synopsis criticorum aliorumque sacrae scripturae interpretum." This is one of his scarcest writings: ESTC lists seven copies two in North America while ABPC and RBH record just two copies at auction. s.n. Printed Anno Domini unknown

Der Sammelband enthält eine Schrift des Naturwissenschaftlers und anerkannten Altphilologen H. Stubbe (auch Stubbes; 1632-1676), die Greatrakes Heilungen durch Handauflegen ins Bereich des Wunderbaren und Mysteriösen verweisen, sowie eine Schrift, die heute dem Biographen David Lloyd (1635-1692) - nicht David Bryce, wie auf dem Titelblatt vermerkt - zugeschrieben wird, in welcher er gegen Greatrakes Stellung nimmt. Als Reaktion darauf verfasste Greatrakes den vorliegenden 'Brief Account' in Form eines Briefes an den bekannten Naturforscher Robert Boyle. Der aus Irland stammende Boyle (1627-1692) gilt als Mitbegründer der modernen Naturwissenschaften. Diese drei zeitgenössischen, noch zu Greatrakes Lebzeiten erschienenen, Schriften sind überaus selten. - Das fehlende Frontispiz liegt in Kopie bei. - Differenzbesteuert

16113462Latin manuscript on vellum with large 6 in diameter suspended black wax seal of James I of England and autograph of Anne of Denmark dated July 23 1610 granting title to Corrodownan Manor in County Cavan Ulster to one John Browne Gent. of Gorgiemill near Edinburgh and his descendants during the Plantation i.e. colonization of Ulster under James I beginning in 1609. The colonists were settled on land confiscated from the Irish inhabitants following the conquest of Ulster 1594-1603 under James's predecessor Elizabeth I. The Plantation was intended to consolidate royal control of Ulster and repress rebellion by importing a substantial Protestant population. Like John Browne and indeed James himself many of the new colonists were Scottish. Some of these families went on to form the backbone of the Protestant Ascendancy in the province. John Browne and his heirs however were not among them. Sir George Carew sent by the king in 1611 to report on the progress of the Plantation noted that "he Browne . sent an agent who took possession set the lands to the Irish returned to Scotland and . performed nothing." The land was sold in 1613 to another Scottish colonist Archibald Acheson. Acheson's descendants were raised to the peerage of Ireland in 1806 as Earls of Gosford and still owned the property in the late nineteenth century. The first nineteen lines of the document grant the Scottish Browne the rights and privileges of James's English and Irish citizens. Especially notable are the requirement that the grantee maintain an adequate supply of arms for defense against the king's enemies lines 77-80 the attempt to encourage the growth of towns 74-76 and the ban on sale of the property to "mere Irish" or to anyone who failed to acknowledge the sovereign as head of the church thus excluding all Catholics by swearing the Oath of Supremacy 114-121.
