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. Spottiswoode unknown

A little soiling to leather and a couple of trivial imperfections internally but a very fine copy inside and out.<br/> <br/> This pretty little prayer book is a lovely example of provincial English bookbinding and very typical of an era in which such luxurious volumes were popular gifts among the moneyed classes. The Russell firm is recorded by Ramsden as operating in Guildford in southern England and the ticket in the present book notes that they were also booksellers stationers printers cutlers and silversmiths in addition to binders. This charming devotional work has been carefully looked after by its previous owners and comes down to us in excellent condition. George Eyre and Andrew Strahan unknown

Illustrations lightly foxed occasional minor foxing or browning to text more prominent on a dozen or so openings but never severe other isolated negligible imperfections but a fine set inside and out the amply-margined text clean bright and fresh.<br/> <br/> Tall uniformly bound and a striking ornament to any library these volumes contain important histories first published in the 15th and 16th centuries covering events in England France and western Europe from the first century A.D. through the mid-1500s. The famed "Chronicles" of Jean Froissart ca. 1337 – ca. 1405 are a key resource for the Hundred Years' War and for the chivalric culture of the 14th century. Monstrelet ca. 1400 – 1453 picked up where Froissart left off reporting on the years 1400-44. The works by Robert Fabyan d. ca. 1512 and John Hardyng 1378–1465 look at English history from the first century Roman occupation through the Plantagenet and Tudor dynasties ending in the 15th and 16th centuries respectively. Printer John Rastell d. 1536 compiled and published "Pastime" which looks at England from 1066-1485. The "Chronicle" by Edward Hall 1497-1547 covering the years 1399-1547 was a key source for Shakespeare's history plays and according to A. W. Rosenbach's 1938 catalogue was "the second book printed in English and written by an Englishman referring to America as well as the first English historical work mentioning a voyage to America." King's printer to Henry VIII and Edward VI Richard Grafton ca. 1506/7 or 1511 – 1573 produced an abridgement of earlier Chronicles and a continuation of Hall's work notable according to DNB for "his description of the accession of Queen Elizabeth her welcome in London and the pageants held along the route—from the Tower to Westminster—which Grafton helped to oversee." "Customs of London" attributed to Richard Arnold d. ca. 1521 lists mayors sheriffs and bailiffs of that city from the time of Richard I to that of Henry VI and contains its articles charters and ordinances. It is easy to picture the present set on the shelves of a stately home---which given their "country house" condition is quite possibly where they resided for many years. unknown

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.

Front pastedown with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection. Wing P-2842B; ESTC R207754. ◆Text lightly washed and pressed but still crisp faint foxing to lower edge of title page otherwise a fine fresh copy in an unworn binding.<br/> <br/> Written by an opinionated English cleric this is an extraordinarily rare pamphlet proposing an unusual fund to support young 17th century scholars. According to DNB the scheme outlined in the present work was meant "to support the university studies of young men of promise seeking entry into the ministry." The plan "was approved by John Worthington and Anthony Tuckney and had the support also of John Arrowsmith DD Ralph Cudworth William Dillingham DD and Benjamin Whichcote. The fund raised about £900 and it appears that William Sherlock afterwards dean of St Paul's received assistance from this fund during his studies at Peterhouse Cambridge until 1660 when he graduated BA. Those entrusted with administering the fund sent Poole regular reports on students interviewed and the ratings they had received in philosophy logic and languages. The scheme was abandoned at the Restoration." Poole 1624 - 79 was the author of a number of controversialist pamphlets on subjects ranging from Unitarianism to preaching by lay persons before undertaking his major work: a synthesis of critical biblical commentaries "Synopsis criticorum aliorumque sacrae scripturae interpretum." This is one of his scarcest writings: ESTC lists seven copies two in North America while ABPC and RBH record just two copies at auction. s.n. Printed Anno Domini unknown
