pp. vi, 234 (4)["Books just Published by J. Newbery. and W. Frederick, Bath"] + Engraved frontis portrait of Nash by Anthony Walker after William Hoare. 8vo. Age stained. Contemporary full leather binding, boards detached. Mildly XLib. NOTE: With two autograph ownerships of: Joseph Bloomfield (1753-1823), New Jersey lawyer, Revolutionary War soldier, judge, and political leader. He and his wife supported a variety of social causes, with Joseph serving as president of the first Society for the Abolition of Slavery, organized in Burlington, NJ in 1783. In 1789, he donated a small plot of land to house the Library Company of Burlington. Bloomfield served as Mayor of Burlington from 1795 to 1800, and he went on to serve as Governor of New Jersey from 1801 to 1802 and 1803 to 1812, then returned to military service as a Brigadier General in the War of 1812. After the war, he finished his political career as a U.S. Congressional Representative from 1817 to 1821. Biography of the undisputed King of Bath, which Newbery commissioned to one of his favorite writers, Oliver Goldsmith (though he goes unmentioned in this first edition). Richard Nash (1674-1762), English dandy, better known as "Beau Nash," was born at Swansea. He was descended from an old family of good position, but his father from straitened means had become partner in a glass business. Young Nash was educated at Carmarthen Grammar school and at Jesus College, Oxford. He obtained a commission in the army, which, however, he soon exchanged for the study of law at the Temple. Here among "wits and men of pleasure" he came to be accepted as an authority in regard to dress, manners and style. When the members of the Inns of Court entertained William III after his accession, Nash was chosen to conduct the pageant at the Middle Temple. This duty he performed so much to the satisfaction of the king that he was offered knighthood, but he declined the honor, unless accompanied by a pension. As the king did not take the hint, Nash found it necessary to turn gamester. The pursuit of his calling led him in 1705 to Bath, where he had the good fortune almost immediately to succeed Captain Webster as master of the ceremonies. His qualifications for such a position were unique, and under his authority reforms were introduced which rapidly secured to Bath a leading position as a fashionable watering-place. He drew up a new code of rules for the regulation of balls and assemblies, abolished the habit of wearing swords in places of public amusement and brought duelling into disrepute, induced gentlemen to adopt shoes and stockings in parades and assemblies instead of boots, reduced refractory chairmen to submission and civility, and introduced a tariff for lodgings. Through his exertions a handsome assembly-room was also erected, and the streets and public buildings were greatly improved. Nash adopted an outward state corresponding to his nominal dignity. He wore an immense white hat as a sign of office, and a dress adorned with rich embroidery, and drove in a chariot with six greys, laced lackeys and French horns. When the act of parliament against gambling was passed in 1745, he was deprived of an easy though uncertain means of subsistence, but the corporation afterwards granted him a pension of six score guineas a year, which, with the sale of his snuff-boxes and other trinkets, enabled him to support a certain faded splendour till his death. He was honored with a public funeral at the expense of the town. Notwithstanding his vanity and impertinence, the tact, energy and superficial cleverness of Nash won him the patronage and notice of the great. He was a man of strong personality, and considerably more able than Beau Brummell, whose prototype he was. First edition with all of the correct points. Rothschild 1022; Tinker 1093. The early American ownership adds substantial interest to this curious book. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W144

4to. 3 parts in 1 volume. pp. xvi, 1-99,[3], 336, 167, [1]. Pagination with errors. Browned throughout, but not brittle. Contemporary full calf binding, worn and somewhat broken. Early signature of "Elijah Lathrop, 1748"; also signed by A. C. Saxton. Isaac Ambrose (baptized 1604-died 1664), was a Church of England clergyman and ejected minister, and author, "His Prima, media & ultima (first edition - 1650), while beginning with a call to new birth and ending with reflections on death and judgement that read like a collection of sermons, is largely concerned with the 'middle things' - the means 'for continuance and increase of a Godly life.' These include a commitment to systematic meditation, which is reinforced by a few illustrations from his own diary, kept during his annual monthly retreat in May in the woods near Hoghton Tower. Ambrose's works were highly regarded at the time, and continued to be reprinted after his death, appearing in Wesley's Christian Library. Alongside Ambrose's unwavering doctrinal Calvinism is a personal warmth that seems to have attracted both gentry and people, as well as his fellow ministers." - Oxford DNB. ESTC T223079. Lowndes 35.

Original full leather binding; joints cracked. The Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion were established in 1563 and are the historic defining statements of Anglican doctrine in relation to the controversies of the English Reformation; especially in the relation of Calvinist doctrine and Roman Catholic practices to the nascent Anglican doctrine of the evolving English Church. The Lambeth Articles were a series of nine doctrinal statements drawn up by Archbishop of Canterbury, John Whitgift, in 1595, in order to define Calvinist doctrine with regard to predestination and justification. This text was first published in 1694. W151

Five full page etchings (four by Leech), browned from the ink in this example (as apparently in most others). Early half leather over marbled boards. Joints fragile. Large 4to. 280 mm. Hardbound. Very good. The editor, Douglas William Jerrold (1803-1857) was an English dramatist, writer, editor, and wit. He is most closely associated with PUNCH. Punch was a humorous and liberal publication and Jerrold, under the pseudonym 'Q', used satire to attack institutions of the day. His liberal satirical inclinations can be seen in 'The Illuminated Magazine' as well. The featured illustrator, John Leech (1817-1864) was an enormously popular English caricaturist and artist. Some of the articles are quite remarkable. Often noted are those on social conditions - prisons, the poor, etc. The articles illustrated by Kenny Meadows (1790-1874) are especially interesting and include one on witchcraft. Another fascinating article we've never seen previously noted is on BOWIE KNIVES. It bears illustrations from one of the Sheffield (England) manufacturers that exported so many Bowie Knives to the U.S. They became almost ubiquitous in the Civil War, especially (but not exclusively) on the Confederate side. **PRICE JUST REDUCED!

pp. (vi), 243. Large 4to. Worn early full leather binding. Signs of prtevious ownerships removed. Very clean and wide margined text. Printed by one of the great firms to work in England in the wake of Baskerville. FIRST EDITION. Henry James Pye (1745-1813), poetaster and poet laureate. He was educated at home until 1762, when he entered Magdalen College, Oxford, as a gentleman-commoner. From an early age Pye cultivated literary tastes, and his main object in life was to obtain recognition as a poet. In 1790 Pye was appointed poet laureate, in succession to Thomas Warton, and he held the office for twenty-three years. He doubtless owed his good fortune to the support he had given the prime minister, Pitt, while he sat in the House of Commons. Pye was the intimate friend of Governor John Penn (1729-1795). This work has been described as his magnum opus, and was dedicated to Addington. W139 ON HOLD

Dustjacket has shelfwear and rubbing. ; Winchester Studies, 4.III: the Anglo-Saxon Minsters of Winchester; 1.26 x 11.02 x 8.82 Inches; 300 pages; Property and Piety comprises an edition and translation, with extensive commentary, of thirty-three Anglo-Saxon and Norman documents relating to the topography and minsters of early medieval Winchester. These texts record the physical effects on the city of the foundation and expansion of the three neighbouring minsters, and also of the removal of the New Minster to Hyde in about 1110. They record political, religious, and cultural aspects of the tenth-century reform of Benedictine monasticism, of which Winchester was a leading centre. The splendid New Minster refoundation charter, composed by Bishop AEthelwold and granted by King Edgar in 966, is here translated for the first time. A full examination is also made of the old minster confirmation charter, probably fabricated in the reign of AEthelred. The volume also includes all Anglo-Saxon grants of land within Winchester and a reappraisal of the evidence for the beneficial hidation of the surrounding estate of Chilcomb. This volume is part of a three-book study in the Winchester Studies series of the Anglo-Saxon Minsters of Winchester, including 4.i, The Anglo-Saxon Minsters by Martin Biddle and Birthe Kjolbye-Biddle, and 4.ii, The Cult of St Swithun by Michael Lapidge.
