1635114343London: Churchyard. Fair with no dust jacket. 1635. Unknown. Leather. Original 1635 Edition. Virtually DISBOUND - NO Covers & only the remnants of a leather spine. Quarto - 7 3/4 x 11 inches. TWO Volumes bound as One. The book lacks the half title & front endpapers & starts at the Engraved Title Page & ends with the rear blank endpaper after FINIS & the Printers Details as it should. The wood-engraved title page is chipped worn & ragged with loss at edges/corners & a bit grubby & many page corners are friable particularly the bottom front & rear top corners. Some pages/corners front & back have a little archive tape to 'closed' chips/tears to prevent further wear/loss. There is some old damp staining to the mainly blank edges/outer margins of the pages mainly light 'shading' but a little stronger at the the end where it is bleeding into the text. However the text overall is sl. 'wavy' but a good strong printing in single column black letter with Attractive Engraved Title Letters & many decorated page headers. Rubbed Red as printed page fore-edges. Last few leaves with marginal edge/corner losses not affecting text. An odd spot or mark internally three pages have a few small 'rust' spots with small holes circa 1cm or less worn through a couple of those spots & page 237 has a tear with loss to the front blank margin edge not affecting text but overall generally very clean & clear print and preservation. An old ownership inscription Francis Ford. in faint ink at the top of the title page o/w NO other inscriptions or major marks not noted. Vol. 1 = Title as above 8 98 75-76 mispaginated but correct 2 Blanks. Vol. 2 = Title reads " The Second Tome of Homilies of Svch Matters as were Promised and Entituled in the former part of HOMILIES. Set out by the authority of the Late Queenes Majesty: & to be read in every Parish Church agreeably". 4 320 4 pages. Another mispagination in the 'Homily Against Disobedience and Wilfull Rebellion' which is divided into 6 parts - where page 307 is misprinted as 313 but the correct page 313 is in place. After this 6-part Sermon the book ends with a final "Thankes-giving for the Suppression of the LAST REBELLION" & Printers Details decoratively bordered top and bottom. The first volume is attributed to Thomas Cranmer & others. The second was likely compiled by John Jewel. Overall a sound generally clean strongly printed early copy in desperate need of a binding/light restoration to preserve it further. SEE IMAGES. ; 4to 11" - 12" tall . Churchyard. hardcover

James II of England a.k.a. James VII of Scotland while fleeing to France dropped the Great Seal of the Realm into the Thames. In Parliament the question was discussed whether he had forfeited the throne or had abdicated. The present volume offers detailed arguments for the both but ultimately the latter designation was agreed upon and in a full assembly of the Lords and Commons it was resolved in spite of James's protest "that King James II having endeavored to subvert the constitution of the kingdom by breaking the original contract between king and people and by the advice of Jesuits and other wicked persons having violated the fundamental laws and having withdrawn himself out of this kingdom has abdicated the government and that the throne is thereby vacant." The Scottish parliament pronounced a decree of forfeiture and deposition. ¶ In our copy the imprint reads "and to be sold" in another issue the imprint reads "and sold". ¶ References: Wing 2nd ed.

Gilt decor to board edges and turn-ins worn. Rubbing to boards. Corners bumped. Raised bands and ornate gilt decor compartments to spine rubbed and worn. Chipping and wear to top and base of spine. Outer front hinge almost fully cracked but hinge holding due to fairly recent sturdy cloth tape reinforcement on inside. Tape repair to inner rear hinge now perishing. Cracking to rear inner hinge and endpapers but hinge still firm. All edges gilt darkened. Marbled endpapers sometime added now worn with creasing to rear endpaper. Front marbled endpaper is missing the half not pasted to the boards. Large quarto 18 x 24cm. Three volumes with individual title pages all printed by John Hayes in 1683 bound together with 59 plates bound in. The plates are taken from 'The Life of our Blessed Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ. An Heroic Poem' by Samuel Wesley first published 1693 and illustrated with 60 copper plates of which all but one possibly the title or half-title were used for this volume. Only one plate is signed: St Matthew by Nicholas Yeates some small scenes of martyrdoms inserted in portraits of saints are initialled J. C. It is likely that Yeates and the more famous William Fairthorne 'recognised as the best native-born portrait engraver of the century' were part of a team which oversaw the 'extraordinary effort' of creating these dramatic and technically skilled 'complex traditional Catholic illustrations' see Hodnett 1978 'Francis Barlow: First Master of English Book Illustration'. First two volumes unpaginated. Small Nashdom Abbey inscription on inside front board. The Book of Common Prayer contains prefatory material including 'An Act for the Uniformity of Common Prayer' described in volume index but missing from copy described in ESTC. Small tear to the top of sig.B4 in Book of Common Prayer with small loss to text. Plate of 'St. Iacobvs Minor' was once partially stuck to preceding page with small loss to text and minor damage to image. Decorative initials. ~Additional notes: the marbled paper is plausibly late 17th-century but of an unusual straight herringbone design. John Hayes was apt to sell his publications gathered into bespoke volumes; we have been unable to locate another Common Prayer / New Testament / Psalter combination from his press. Darlow & Moule list two small 4to Bibles published by Hayes in 1683. They note that the first has a NT title page date of 1680 but don't mention the date of the second. The NT title page here is dated 1683. Hardback. Hardback. Good. 188 294 2 106 10pp. John Hayes Hardcover

Now housed in archival mylar sleeve. 2 2 pp. Commonwealth seal to t.p. Folio: 2. 10-5/8" x 6-3/4" <br/><br/>Gabler though not listing this item does briefly discuss & list divers tracts & pamphlets written in the early 1640s voicing public outrage over a contract between Charles I and the Vintner's Company of London- under said contract the Vintners agreed to pay a 46 shilling tax on every ton of Spanish & French wine & also agreed to annually buy a certain amount from English importers. In return the vintners were permitted to sell cooked victuals a proviso not in their original charter & allowed to recoup the tax by charging a penny a quart more that the officially published price. The ultimate effect was to give the Vintners' Company a monopoly on the wine trade all the while enriching the coffers of Charles I. Needless to say wine drinkers were livid. Parliament eventually responded in the consumers' favor. Gabler pp. 2-3.
