Gaelic translation of Boston's <i>Human nature in its four-fold state</i> Gaelic revised by Rev. J. MacDonald. <b>$125.00</b></p><p>Thomas Boston 17 March 1676 – 20 May 1732 was a Scottish Presbyterian church leader theologian and philosopher. Boston was successively schoolmaster at Glencairn and minister of Simprin in Berwickshire and Ettrick in Selkirkshire. In addition to his best-known work <i>The Fourfold State</i> one of the religious classics of Scotland he wrote an original little book <i>The Crook in the Lot</i> and a learned treatise on the Hebrew points. He also took a leading part in the Courts of the Church in what was known as the "Marrow Controversy" regarding the merits of an English work <i>The Marrow of Modern Divinity</i> which he defended against the attacks of the "Moderate" party in the Church. Boston if unduly introspective was a man of singular piety and amiability. His autobiography is an interesting record of Scottish life full of sincerity and tenderness and not devoid of humorous touches intentional and otherwise.</p> D. R. Collie, hardcover

18748347Boston: Roberts Brothers 1874. First Edition. Original terra-cotta cloth; gilt spine-titles; 1-7 8-206; 8pp. Gentle soiling to board edges; hint of fraying at crown of spine; old bookplate residue to front pastedown; a tight attractive copy. INSCRIBED on title page: "Rev. John S. Smith / With the regards of / E.E.H. / Feb. 9 1881." <br /> <br /> Posthumous collection of Tuckerman's essays on the relief of poverty in Boston most originally issued as reports of the Minister at Large a post which Tuckerman himself established. Tuckerman 1778-1840 was a pioneer in the field of social reform and his advocacy for Boston's poor in the early 19th century was noteworthy for its emphasis upon education and direct action rather than simple charity. The work begun by Tuckerman nearly 200 years ago persists in the very active Unitarian Universalist Urban Ministry which still espouses Tuckerman's principles in overseeing a wide range of public welfare programs in the Boston area. A seldom-encountered work; this copy nicely inscribed by Hale a few years after publication. Roberts Brothers unknown

188542031Philadelphia: W.H. Butler n.d. ca 1885. 1885. TRADE CATALOG. 5 11/16" x 12 3/4" color sheet folded to 6 panels. Illustrations. Among the successful shoe-machines invented by the Globe Buffer company was the “Globe Buffer” a machine for “buffing” or sandpapering the bottoms of boots and shoes. The first “ Globe Buffer" was set up in November 1881. The company also manufactured the “Globe Heel Scourer” for smoothing or scouring the edges of heels of boots and shoes. The company also introduced the "Globe Insole" an invention the promised to replace the flexible leather that was currently in vogue for insoles to shoes. It was invented and patented by Mr. George A. Fullerton and consists of a substance very similar to leather but which is stronger and much more flexible. To test the merits the shoes thousands of pairs were produced and worn and in not a single pair of them did a stitch give out. The material for the insoles is stronger than any leather of the same thickness. It is preserved while leather is destroyed by perspiration. The edges are smooth which prevents them from cutting the stitches. Shoes made of it will not squeak. The brochure offers one cover panel showing 2 cherubs one holding a woman's boot and the other the "Globe Flexible Insole; one panel offering the company's guarantee; and one panel offering information about their insoles. "Remember that the INSOLE is the foundation of the shoe and that Glove Flexible Insole" is superior in every particular to leather or any other known substance. That the stitches and tacks are all beneath the surface thus contributing a smooth soft cushion." Opposite 3 panels offers a beautiful color sailing scene showing a yacht race and with "Compliments of the Globe Buffer co. only Manufacturers of Globe Flexible Insoles at the bottom of one panel. One panel has been separated and neatly reattached using cellophane tape. W.H. Butler, n.d. [ca 1885]. hardcover
