1970CAT0131New England 1970. Two plastic albums 10 ½ x 11 inches. A lovingly arranged and annotated product of someone's obsession with New England's churches. Nearly all photos 3 ½ square. A few of the churches have multiple photos. Most photos are shot from a similar three quarters frontal view though some are frontal. The repeated perspective shows a respect for the vernacular forms though it is unclear if the photographer's interests were architectural or historical in nature. The photographer travelled throughout New England with the breakdown of churches as follows: 206 in Massachusetts forty-six in Connecticut forty-eight in Maine eighty-six in New Hampshire sixteen in Rhode Island and six in other states. <br /> <br /> A fine collection impeccably preserved in the original albums which read "Memories" on the front. unknown books

185623747Washington: Buell & Blanchard 1856. 8pp caption title as issued. Disbound else Very Good. <br/><br/> The New England Emigrant Aid Society was formed in 1854 to promote the emigration to Kansas of anti-slavery men and their families. Its Executive Committee whose members included Eli Thayer Edward Hale and William Spooner responds to criticism that the Society is a "mammoth moneyed corporation" which seeks "to control the institutions of Kansas." The charges against the Society were leveled in a Senate Report issued by the Chairman Stephen A. Douglas of the Committee on Territories. <br/> The Society says the Executive Committee does not promote "interference with the internal affairs and domestic concerns of the Territory;" it "has done what it could in a peaceable legal and constitutional way to aid in the settlement of Kansas by a population of freemen." <br/>FIRST EDITION. 22 Decker 220.

Kata tous Hevdomekonta. Cambridge: James Field 1664. 12mo. 1 f 171 1 blank pp. lacks blank leaf k6.<br>Â Â Â Â The mid-17th century was a low point in the history of English typography but in this pair of Anglican religious texts James Field printer to the University of Cambridge produced => a very good example of the printer's art of Greek printing especially in the use of a small point size. The guiding force behind their production was James Duport 160679 dean of Peterborough and master of Magdelene College Cambridge a noted scholar of Latin and Greek and supporter of the university press. The preface to the Book of Common Prayer is signed with his initials and it is established that he was the editor of the Psalms; the texts were almost certainly issued together but are also at times found individually in contemporary binding.<br>Â Â Â Â Field's minute typography here is dense and presented chiefly in double-column format in both works; and instead of woodcut head- or tailpieces and xylographic initials he deploys printer's ornaments to enliven the text at the top of some sections and occasionally elsewhere. => The layout is overall lovely and thoughtful and the printing is extremely clear and precise.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary morocco with covers framed in a single blind fillet; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-stamped compartment decorations. Marbled endpapers all edges gilt. => All pages ruled in red in the best style of the era.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Isaac Watts 16741748 the godfather of English hymnody is also fondly remembered for his Psalms of David: Imitated in the Language of the New Testament a work that was reprinted over a thousand times. His ownership signature is on the blank leaf opposite the BCP title-page here. Later the volume was owned by Charles Mayo 17671858 a scholar of Old English who dated his ownership as "St. John's College Oxford 1787." Most recently in the library of American collector of Greek printing Albert A.
