pp. xvi, 342. Damp stained and foxed. 8vo. 215mm. Original full leather binding, very worn. Boards detached. Edmund Burke (1729-1797) was an Anglo-Irish statesman, author, orator, political theorist, and philosopher. After relocating to England, he served for many years in the House of Commons as a member of the Whig party. He is mainly remembered for his support of the cause of the American Revolutionaries, and for his later opposition to the French Revolution. This, Burke's great aesthetic treatise, first published in 1757, was an advance in the uniting of philosophy with psychology. It attracted the attention of prominent Continental thinkers such as Denis Diderot and Immanuel Kant. All 18th century editions seem to be quite scarce. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! PHILOSOPHY BX 4

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

Engraved collective title separate letterpress title for the Psalms half-title for The Form and Manner of Making. Bishops etc. calendar printed in red and black printed marginalia; full title for the metrical Psalms musical scores. Texts in black letter Gothic.

Marginal dampstain and erosion at 20 leaves with slight loss at fore-margin calendar leaf C4 recto; mild dampstain at top gutter in later leaves; library stamp at bottom margin leaves N2/N3 in the metrical Psalms. 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.

The 2 leaves lacking from Ss contained the "Form of Prayer with Thanksgiving" for the 23rd of December in honor of and by decree of King James II. The king was deposed in 1689 and it is likely that these pages were excised in light of that.
