Original Tan Boards. 8vo. [viii], 594 pages; 24 cm. Includes: "An Act to Secure and Appropriate the Touro Jewish Synagogue Fund (pp. 476-78) . By the first quarter of the 19th century the synagogue of Newport Rhode Island (established in 1763) was used infrequently as the community there had dwindled. It was Abraham Touro's bequest to the legislature of the state for "supporting the Jewish Synagogue in the State" that spurred the town to safeguard this architectural jewel. Endowing the building, even when it was not in use, protected it. It would come into regular use again when Eastern European immigrants reconstituted the Newport Jewish community. Also includes Washingtons address as indicated in title. SUBJECT(S) : Law -- Rhode Island. OCLC lists 29 copies worldwide. Lacks backstrip and front board, some markings but overall inside pages are in about very good condition. (AMR-48-47)

pp. [2], 55. Signatures: A^(4)(-A1) B-G^(4) H2. There are two settings of this same edition known (no priority as to first issue, and many copies contain mixed formes). This setting has the title page with a small version of the royal arms; and on the verso a large, full page, engraved version; and the last line of D4v begins: as ever'. **Short contemporary Ms. note on title: 'This p'lament began Apr. 16, 1640 & was dissolved May 5 folowing.' Small 4to. 190 mm. Later blue boards binding; leather title strip lettered in gilt. Clean and attractive copy. Charles I (1600-1649), King of Great Britain and Ireland. In his early disputes, arguments, and battles with the Scots, tried a new tool. He resolved to call an English parliament, and to ask for means to enable him to make war effectually upon Scotland. The discovery of an attempt made by the Scottish leaders to open negotiations with the king of France led him to hope that the national English feeling would be touched. In the meanwhile the English privy councillors offered him a loan which would enable him at least to gather an army without parliamentary aid. The Short parliament of 1640 was opened by the King on 13 April with a few words indicative of the gravity of the situation, the task of more fully setting forth the royal wishes and intentions being devolved upon the Lord Keeper (Baron Finch). Under Pym's leadership the Parliament showed itself disposed to ask for redress of grievances as a condition of a grant of supply, and it subsequently refused to give money unless peace were made with the Scots. On 5 May Charles dissolved parliament by means of this Declaration. Getting money by irregular means, he proceeded to push on the war, and formed an Irish army to join the mutinous and un-warlike Royal army. Terrified and exasperated Englishmen, believed that this army would be used in England to crush their liberties. The Scots knew that the opinion in England was in their favour, and they had already entered into communication with the parliamentary leaders. On 20 Aug. they crossed the Tweed, defeated part of the royal army at Newburn on the 28th, and soon afterwards occupied Newcastle and Durham. Charles's money was by this time almost exhausted, and he was obliged to summon the English peers to meet him in a great council at York, as there was no time to get together a full parliament. The great council met on 24 Sept. It at once insisted on opening negotiations with the Scots, and sent some of its members to London to obtain a loan to support the army during the progress of the treaty. Charles had now agreed to summon another parliament, and the negotiations opened at Ripon were adjourned to London. Possibly written by John Finch, Baron Finch of Fordwich (1584-1660), Speaker of the House of Commons and Lord Keeper. STC (2nd ed.) 9262; Thomason, E.203[1]; Lincoln's Inn.

pp. viii, 151 + Half title and forty nine mounted engraved plates on India paper. Early engraved bookplate. Most plates foxed but mainly in the margins. Text slightly foxed. 4to. Original early cloth binding, rebacked preserving the original backstrip. Spine label. Binding slightly worn at extremities and a few small stains on front board. Hardbound. Jacob George Strutt (17841867) painter and etcher, studied in London, and was a contributor to the Royal Academy and British Institution at intervals between 1819 and 1858. For a few years he practiced portrait-painting, but from 1824 to 1831 exhibited studies of forest scenery, and he is now best known by two sets of etchings which he published at this period `Sylva Britannica, or portraits of Forest Trees distinguished for their Antiquity' (1822; reissued, as here, in 1838), and `Delicia Sylvarum, or grand and romantic Forest Scenery in England and Scotland' (1828). About 1831 Strutt went abroad, and, after residing for a time at Lausanne, settled in Rome. In 1851 he returned to England, but was not active after 1858. Nice copy of the First Quarto Edition, with the plates being mounted proofs on India paper. Bridson & White C537; Nissen BBI 1907. RARE. **PRICE MUCH REDUCED! PLANTS W134
pp. (9), 82. 12mo. in 6. [191 x 118 mm]. Fully engraved text on ninety-one plates, each with an illustration or large vignette. The handsomely decorated borders to each page appear to have been engraved and impressed separately. Full contemporary sombre black morocco binding; joints slightly worn. All edges gold. ** The Duke of Sussex's copy, with his engraved bookplate (Augustus Frederick, Prince, Duke of Sussex, 1773-1843); and with the additional ownerships of Henry White and Robert James Sells. From the Library of Edwin Wolf II. The text itself is ascribed to Laurence Howell (1664?-1720) by Halkett & Laing, but the greatest interest in this book comes from its engraved typography and decorations. John Sturt (1658-1730), was apprenticed at the age of 17 to Robert White, in whose manner he engraved a number of small portraits as frontispieces to several books. Becoming associated with John Ayres, he engraved the most important of that writing-master's books on calligraphy, and acquired celebrity for his skill in such work. The amazing skill of his engraving artistry still astonishes us. This work is probably somewhat scarcer than Sturt's more famous "Book of Common Prayer", especially in this (first?) state with single cherubs blowing horns at each side of the border of p. IX. Though some copies do have a list "Subscribers" pp. [83]-[85] - none is present here, nor does one seem to have ever been bound in the book. Maybe Sussex had some objection to some on the list?

14023Both items dated from Birmingham England the bill on 1 November 1816 and the promissory note on 1 July 1817. Both signed boldly by Henry van War. The context of these documents is as follows. His brother Peter having fallen ill Washington Irving had taken over the running of the Liverpool office of his family firm which was forced to declare bankruptcy in 1818. Irving's brother-in-law Henry Van Wart had worked for the firm but had now moved to Birmingham where he would flourish. Both items are in fair condition on aged and worn paper. The bill is Van Wart's hand but the promissory note only carries his signature. Both have writing on both sides. The bill 10 x 23.5cm is embossed with a 7s 6d tax stamp. It reads: 'No. 1459 £439. 18. 6 Birmingham 1st Novr. 1816 Nine months after date pay to the order of Mess. Lewis Cooper & Co. Four hundred & thirty nine pounds 18/6 - value received Henry Van Wart To Mess P. Irving & Co Merchants Liverpool M115'. Countersigned : 'Accepted payable at dup & Rec'd Irving & Cos London P Irving & Co' and with two manuscript notations. On the reverse are three notes two of which read: 'In re Peter Irving & In re Washington Irving Exhibited March <> 1818 Henry Lawrence'presumably the bankruptcy proceedings and 'We the undersigned do hereby agree to release the within named Henry Van Wart from payment of this Bill in consideration of his having given us his note dated 1st July 1817 for 9/- in the Pound on the full claim against him & his Estate but without prejudice to any claim against the acceptors for Lewis Cooper & Co <>'. The promissory note 8.5 x 20cm is embossed with a 5s tax stamp. It reads 'No. 272 £195 - 12 - 9 Birmingham 1st July 1817 Eighteen Months after date I promise to pay Messrs. Lewis Cooper & Co. or order One Hundred & Ninety five pounds twelve shillings & nine pence value received - Henry Van Wart'. On reverse: 'Octr. 7th. 1818 Exhibited to N G C A M J. C' again paret of the bankruptcy proceedings. Van Wart's name is often given with a small 'v' to the 'Van' but it is clearly a capital in these two signatures. Note: Apparently no similar material concerning Washington Irving's time in his brother's business survives nor anything signed by Henry van Wart. See partial image. Both items dated from Birmingham [England], the bill on 1 November 1816, and the promissory note on 1 July 1817. Both signed bol unknown

Univ. 9, 222. - vorliegende Gegenschrift zur grundlegenden, vielfach angefeindeten, Schrift zur Gedankenfreiheit, des englischen Philosophen Anthony Collins (1676-1729) 'Discours of free thinking' zählt zu den wichtigsten Werken zur zeitgenössischen Diskussion um Gedankenfreiheit. Vorliegend die erste französische Ausgabe dieser unter dem Pseudonym Phileleutherus Lipsiensis hrsg. 'Remarks upon a late discours of free thinking' des bedeutenden klassischen Philologen und Rektors in Cambridge, Richard Bentley (1662-1742), erschienen zusammen mit kritischen Bemerkungen zu A. Collins durch den Übersetzer Armand Boisbeleau de la Chapelle. Hirsching bezeichnet das Werk als die "wichtigste und gelehrteste Schrift" Bentleys. Grundsätzlich dürfte außerhalb Englands der französische Titel bekannter gewesen sein als das englische Original. Das seinerzeit vielzitierte, in zahlreichen Biographien und Bibliogrphien genannte und in den Bibliotheken gut vertretene, wird im Handel nur selten angeboten.
