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

COLLATION: A-B4 C-F8 G-Q4 COMPLETE. 2 19-176 pp. Attractive half calf antique marbled boards red morocco label gilt compartments gilt with small tools. ¶ FIRST EDITION of this important collection of Parliamentary debates providing original and valuable documentation of the constitutional crisis that ensued during the Glorious Revolution of 1688. 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.

1844TK0278Oxford:: University Press 1844. 1844. 9 cm. 3.7 x 2.25 inches. 2 volumes. 16mo. not paginated. Original full very dark maroon gilt-stamped morocco all edges gilt gilt inner dentelles cream endsheets. Both volumes are within a maroon full-leather slipcase with draw-string. A note suggests the box is later made however the same note states that the fore-edge paintings are early and they are clearly not early. All-in-all a handsome set very nicely preserved. Fine. With two fore-edge paintings called "Village Church scenes". The bookseller's note referencing this item suggests that these fore-edge paintings were from 1844. This supports buyers thinking that an item is something which it isn't – a huge problem with fore-edge painted books. What is their true history and how does one know it It is natural to ask what evidence is there for taking a position on an item like this. The fore-edge paintings offered here are likely dated to the 1990s. These are not 19th century images. / What do you suppose is far more likely to be true: that an item in front of you is new or that it is old If it is 'new' then how do you know What if it is old Be aware that a true fore-edge painted specimen of any early date say 1780 or 1802 – is quite rare – especially when compared to the overwhelming number of 20th century specimens and especially specimens that are fresh – new – not even as old as the internet! What is the evidence It is often thought that early provenance implies that a book has a fore-edge painting when it is a thing inscribed to a lover perhaps a bride or a close friend. Some fore-edge paintings have been made and inscribed thus but they are very rare. What is common is an item that is new. / A charming piece as its condition including the case are perfectly kept and clean. Sold by Harrington's with their cost-marks. c340/081 University Press, 1844. hardcover

Defoe would publish political or current event pamphlets either anonymously or posing as a Whig Tory Jacobite whom he said “my very soul abhors†DNB 738 or even a repentant double agent all while writing revolutionary works that lacked their bite incendiary news which proved incorrect or polemical pieces with unsound arguments. In short he worked a a pamphleteering agent of chaos all in the service of the government pacifying their erstwhile opponents. Defoe was seen as a renegade traitor and spy by a number of his contemporaries: “the little art he is truly a master of of forging a story and imposing it on the world.†DNB 737.

Charles was constrained by a shortage of funds in his campaign against the Scottish covenanters in 1639-1640; he convened the "Short Parliament" in hopes of obtaining additional taxes asserting among other things "how dangerous it was to lose the least minute of time lest thereby those of Scotland should frame their parties with forraign States." Parliament failed to comply and the next phase of the English Civil War began soon after. STC 9262.
