3 volumes in-12 (159 x 93 mm), plein veau fauve glacé de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs guillochés or, ornés de compartiments richement garnis d'un décor d'encadrement, fleurons centraux, filets et palettes dorés, pièces de titre et de tomaison de maroquin, roulette sur les coupes, tranches rouges, (30), 451 p.; (8), 447 p. et (8), 438 p., portrait frontispice gravé par P. Bouttats, titres rouge et noir. Première édition de la traduction française. Produite dans les milieux du refuge huguenot, cette traduction assura la diffusion européenne et le succès de ce livre. Très lu, réédité à plusieurs reprises, ce "catéchisme des républicains", constitua une source fondamentale de la pensée des Lumières comme des révolutionnaires de 1789. Algernon Sidney y étudie avec précision les mécanismes du pouvoir personnel, expose ses vues sur la nécessaire liberté politique des Nations et argumente autour de la primauté d’un parlement représentatif sur l’exécutif. Impliqué dans un complot contre Charles II d’Angleterre, l’auteur a été décapité pour trahison en 1683 et son ouvrage ne fut publié en anglais qu'à titre posthume en 1698. "L'une des plus puissantes théories républicaines des débuts de l'époque moderne" (C. Hamel). Cf. P. Carrive, ‘La pensée politique d’A. Sidney’, Paris, 1989. (Brunet, V, 373). Petits défauts aux coiffes et petites fentes aux mors. Ex-libris gravé ancien: "La Houssaye". Bel exemplaire, très frais, très bien relié à l’époque.

1649402219London: printed by John Grismond for Richard Royston 1649. 12mo 165 x 95 mm; 6½ x 3¾ inches. Engraved double-page portrait by William Marshall. Early 20th-century half calf marbled boards all edges gilt by Zaehnsdorf. Light wear to extremities; a few occasional pale stains lacks terminal blank generally fresh. FIRST EDITION third state with correct pagination in quire G. Originally attributed to Charles I the bibliographer Falconer Madan believes it was written by John Gauden who probably included some authentic writings of the king. Though the title-page reads 1648 it was published on 9 February 1649 ten days after the king was beheaded in the aftermath of the English Civil War. The famous allegorical frontispiece by William Marshall depicts Charles I as a Christian martyr. The work was so successful in its portrayal of the king that at the Restoration a special commemoration of the king on 30 January was added to the Book of Common Prayer. Charles I is the only saint formally canonized by the Church of England. ESTC R10559; Madan 1c; Wing E270. . <br/><br/> [printed by John Grismond for Richard Royston] hardcover books

Woodcut royal arms at head large decorative initial capital. 1 vols. 14-1/2 x 11-1/4 inches. Backed with tissue some old dampstaining some loss at margins but printed area complete except for a very small area of the royal arms. Old folds rust marks along with marginal wear suggest that this may at one time have been "affixt to some conspicuous place" as the text instructs. Printed broadside. Woodcut royal arms at head large decorative initial capital. 1 vols. 14-1/2 x 11-1/4 inches. King's Evil and the Royal Touch. From the Middle Ages in England and France it was believed that scrofula or "the King's Evil" could be cured by the touch of royalty; ceremonies were held in which the King would touch and "heal" hundreds of afflicted subjects. <br/>By the late 1400s it was believed that one could also be cured by touching a type of coin called an angel which had been touched by the monarch. After angels ceased to be minted in the 1620s the same effect was said to be achieved by touching a gold medallion embossed much like the old coin.<br/>Some monarchs touched many people. King Henry IV of France touched up to 1500 at one time. The last English monarch to carry out this practice was Queen Anne who died in 1714 but it continued in France. Louis XV touched more than 2000 scrofula sufferers and the last French monarch to do this was Charles X in 1825 Science Museum London. Cf. F Barlow "The King's Evil"Â The English Historical Review 95/374 January 1980 pp 3-27; M BlochThe Royal Touch: Sacred Monarchy and Scrofula in England and France London: Routledge & Kegan Paul 1973.<br/>The present broadside setting the dates for such ceremonies is rare on the market: no copies are listed for sale and none have appeared at auction. It also is signed in type by Lord Chief Justice George Jeffryes sic "The Hanging Judge" amongst others.<br/>An interesting manuscript note in a contemporary hand at the lower margin with significant loss calls the attention of "All Parsons Vicars and Curates" to the regulations set forth in the broadside.

Paper is in quite nice condition but has rippling throughout as is common with books of this era.

Bound with the Whole Book of Psalms also published by Field in 1663 - it is 106 pp. paginated followed by 12 unpaginated pages. Complete title of second part is: The Whole Book of Psalms Collected into English metre by Thomas Sternhold John Hopkins and others conferred with the Hebrew. <br><br>CONDITION: At over 350 years old this copy is in absolutely remarkable condition. Rebacked spine and binding are strong and solid. The most significant flaw is a scar present at the bottom right corner of the cover and some erosion at the top right corners yet not unreasonable at its age. Leaves turn effortlessly are delightfully and evenly toned and are in fine reading condition. Pages are completely unmarked except for several previous owner's names written on the title page from the period one dated 1723. Some occasional worm holes throughout yet they do not compromise the integrity of each physical page. A remarkable sacred beautiful copy steeped in reverence.

1855ST19567-044London: Printed by G. E. Eyre and W. Spottiswoode 1855. 121 x 78 mm. 5 x 3". 532 leaves. <br/> Attractive contemporary dark purple velvet covers edged in brass brass corner pieces upper cover with a central brass "IHC" Christogram smooth spine brass clasp all edges gilt white silk endleaves. Housed in a probably contemporary black pebble-grain morocco case with brass clasp lined with white silk a little wear to case silk a little discolored in places. Front endleaf with a gilt gift inscription: "Presented to Jessie Cooper / from her affectionate Uncle / Alfred John Tubb. / Oct. 29. 1856." Verso of front free endpaper with the book label of Anthony David Estill. Velvet ever so slightly worn miniscule separation at top and bottom of joints a couple of pages with short marginal tears or nipped corners but very close to pristine condition.<br/> <br/> This is an unusually well-preserved example of a Victorian gift binding little changed since the day it left the bindery. Judging from the charming gilt inscription on the silk endleaf stating that it was a present from an "affectionate uncle" to his niece it seems likely that the book was intended as a gift in honor of the girl's confirmation. The luxurious purple velvet delicate brass fittings and bright gilt edges connote treasure and opulence and it is clear the that the young female recipient--and generations of later owners--took scrupulous care of it over the years. Velvet can be worn down quite easily but here it remains fresh and richly colored having been carefully stored away in its custom-made protective leather case. Printed by G. E. Eyre and W.

Good or better complete copies of both works.<br /> <br /> Early edition of what still remains the authoritative version of the Book of Common Prayer comprising the official liturgy of the Anglican Communion and other historically related Christian churches. The first prayer book published in the wake of the English Reformation appeared in 1549 during the reign of Edward VI. That work was revised in 1604 during the reign of James I and again in 1662 during the reign of Charles II. While revision and supplementation has continued into the present era the 1662 edition of which the present copy is essentially an early reprint remains authoritative as the official prayer book of the Church of England.<br /> <br /> Despite the discrepancy in dates which appear on the title pages of the present edition the Book of Common Prayer and the Psalms of David comprise a single publication as noted at the collective title and confirmed by the signatures. The metrical Psalms by Sternhold and Hopkins often bound with the Book of Common Prayer is a separate work. <br /> <br /> Provenance: Bookplate of the Royal Institution of South Wales noting the gift of Col.

172229241<p>Oxford printed by John Baskett in 1722 this duodecimo edition combines the Book of Common Prayer with the Psalter and the Holy Bible including both Old and New Testaments under distinct title pages. The text reflects Anglican liturgical practice during the early eighteenth century when Baskett's role as University Printer positioned him as one of the most influential figures in English religious publishing. The compact size of 6.5 by 4.5 inches 16.5 by 11.5 cm reflects its intended use for both private devotion and parish function. The work is unpaginated as was customary for many prayer books of the period and its survival demonstrates the continued importance of Baskett's output in the development of English worship texts. Condition: Very Good with a firm leather binding secure text block and mild age toning across leaves. Format: Duodecimo 12mo single volume. Collation: Unpaginated. Illustrations: Title pages for both Testaments in addition to the main liturgy. Edition: 1722 Oxford printing. #29241 PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.</p> printed by John Baskett hardcover

First Edition in French of this biography of William III of England extensively illustrated to show important events in the monarchs life. This work was privately printed for Nicolas Chevalier who was a hobbyist and coin collector. A large proportion of Dutch print-making at the end of the 17th century focused on William III. An almost categorical personality cult surrounded the stadtholder-king. Among the print-makers Romeyn de Hooghe 1645-1708 was an important and prolific late Dutch Baroque engraver and caricaturist. He is best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and propagandistic prints supporting William of Orange. De Hooghes 12 etchings of triumphal arches for this work are adaptations of plates in the works by Bidloo and Tronchin de Breuil published in 1691 and 1692. Adriaen Schoonebeek c. 1657- 1705 is often mentioned because of his appearance as witness for the prosecution in a court case against de Hooghe that formed the climax of a slanderous exchange of pamphets between Orangists and members of the Amsterdam faction in 1690. These animosities did not prevent re- employment of both engravers in executing plates for this Nicolas Chevaliers 1692 illustrated volume on numismatics and the life of King William. Rare.
