First title-page and Calendar printed in red and black two proof leaves loosely inserted see below. 20th-century crushed brown morocco spine divided by raised bands second and fourth compartments gilt-lettered direct edges gilt. Somewhat soiled and toned waterstaining to corners most prominently at beginning and end first title-page and that of the Psalmes trimmed at fore-edge and renewed at foot proof leaves fragmentary with significant loss from edges. Spine very slightly mellowed. ‘Alexander’ in an early hand to margin of D8 verso that name repeated to one of the proof sheets along with plentiful pen trials and scribbles and ownership inscriptions of James Allan dated 1799 and 1805 more modern bibliographical notes in pencil to pastedown along with a typed slip. The famous Prayer Book imposed on Scotland by Charles I resulting in riots in St Giles’s Edinburgh when first used in a service - the catalyst being a stool thrown at the dean while he read by an anonymous woman traditionally named as ‘Jenny Geddes’. The follow-on effects of this book included the National Covenant of 1638 the Bishops’ Wars Charles I’s downfall and the English Civil War and it ‘provided a model for the American BCP of 1789 and its successors; the prayer books of the Scottish Episcopal Church 1929 & the Province of South Africa 1954’ Griffiths. An impressive as well as an important piece of printing it was produced in considerable numbers thanks to an act mandating two copies in every parish in Scotland though this was only issued after printing had started leading to a frantic process of resetting and reprinting with attendant multiple variations cancels etc. The prose Psalter here is the ‘first edition’ described by Morgan in The Bibliotheck 5 p. 16 with the catchword ‘Certaine’ on kk6 and the Psalter title reading ‘According to the translation.’. Leaf hh3 was cancelled in both editions and a cancellans printed in two separate settings resulting in copies having one of four potential leaves two cancellans two cancellanda; in this case the cancellans with line 1 verso ending ‘he’ is present. Morgan also notes that the 1636 London printing of the Psalms is as here ‘frequently found bound with copies of this Prayer Book and is present in eighteen of the thirty-seven copies examined. Presumably Young the printer ordered a consignment to be sent from London to Edinburgh to be bound with the Prayer Book’ p. 19. This copy additionally preserves almost certainly from an earlier binding two proof sheets both printed on one side only and with textual variants to the pages in the full book. The proof sheets are of aa2 verso and aa7 recto and are different variants to those recorded by Morgan as present in the proof sheets preserved in copies in the NLS and Glasgow.

One of two large folio printings of The Book of Common Prayer published by Baskett in 1715 this being the form that terminates at 3A4. This copy was associated with the family and descendants of Henry Clinton seventh earl of Lincoln 1684 - 1728 and his wife Lucy daughter of the first Baron Pelham. Inserted in the front are two conjugate sheets of paper one blank and laid in are two folio sheets of vellum a bit stained along the top edges. The latter are occupied on three sides with a manuscript family record written at various times and in various hands including births deaths marriages etc from 1744 through the death in 1794 of Henry Fienes Pelham Clinton Duke of Newcastle. The first of the inserted paper leaves is of perhaps greater interest as it bears a fifteen line manuscript account by White Kennett Bishop of Peterborough signed and with his seal of his baptism at the Parish of St. James in Westminster on 12 February 1718/19 of the Clinton's first son George for whom "His Excellent Majestie King George was Graciously Pleased to do this Honour . to stand Godfather in his own Royal Person and to give him His own Royal Name of George." Apart from his clerical responsibilities Kennett 1660 - 1728 was an active antiquary with particular interest in events in North America. He assembled a large and important library and based on that collection compiled the first attempt at a catalogue of books on North America: BIBLIOTHECAE AMERICANAE PRIMORDIA. AN ATTEMPT TOWARDS LAYING THE FOUNDATION OF AN AMERICAN LIBRARY. London 1713. His close friendship with Charles Trimnell bishop of Norwich and one of George I's favorites secured him the bishopric of Peterborough in 1718. GRIFFITHS 1715.1. ESTC T81463.

Unbound as issued. Pinholes at gutter some edge chipping and small dents brown stain affecting the upper portion throughout. Otherwise a good well-preserved copy. First edition. Signed at foot by a municipal officer Diez de la Puente. One-page contemporary manuscript on p. 3 relating to the administration of the tax. Unbound as issued. 4 last 2 blank p. <p><br /> Unrecorded 1601 ordinance from Salamanca enforcing the Armada-era servicio de millones Spain’s foundational fiscal levy.<br /> <p><p><br /> Printed ordinance issued by the municipal council of Salamanca implementing the royal tax known as the servicio de los dieciocho millones. In accordance with the royal cédula of 9 February 1601 the Concejo Justicia y Regimiento instructs subordinate towns and villages to collect an eighth part of all wine and olive oil sold to be remitted through a chain of local receivers. The text regulates how wine and oil must be measured recorded and taxed forbids additional repartimientos and orders prompt transfer of funds to the city’s main treasury. Dated at Salamanca 10 March 1601 and naming four municipal commissioners appointed for its execution it represents the earliest stage of local enforcement of Philip III’s fiscal scheme transforming the national levy into a functioning municipal excise. A contemporary handwritten endorsement below the text signed by Diez de la Puente attests its execution. Accompanying the printed ordinance is a contemporary manuscript headed on p. 3 “Dudas que se ofrecen en la administración de las sisas†listing practical questions concerning the execution of the tax—registration and measurement of goods roles of administrators and receivers form of payment penalties and conditions of tax farming arrendamiento.<br /> <p><p><br /> The servicio de los dieciocho millones formed part of the broader system of millones taxes created by the Cortes of Castile to meet the Crown’s desperate financial needs after the prolonged wars of Philip II. The servicio de millones had first been introduced by royal request and approved by the Cortes on 4 April 1590 conceived to raise eight million ducats over six years to finance the royal expenditure associated with the Armada campaign against England and other military commitments. Rather than remaining temporary it evolved into a regular levy on six staple items—wine oil vinegar meat soap and tallow candles—collected through local sisas and eventually forming the backbone of Castile’s fiscal structure. By 1600–1601 under Philip III the scheme was renewed and expanded to eighteen million ducats its collection entrusted to municipal governments such as Salamanca’s Concejo Justicia y Regimiento. As described in Bartolomé Yun Casalilla’s Sobre la transición al capitalismo en Castilla this marked a transition from feudal income to a centralized fiscal system financed through municipal taxation embedding local economies within the machinery of the Habsburg war state. The present ordinance captures this process of consolidation—when the monarchy sought tighter control over municipal revenues demanded proper accounting and remittance of surpluses and aimed to prevent arbitrary over-taxation—reflecting both the fiscal strain and administrative centralization characteristic of early-seventeenth-century Spain.<br /> <p><p><br /> Reference: Yun Casalilla B. 1987.

Autograph initials on title page with additional ownership inscription on A3. Title within woodcut border. Text in two columns. 104pp. 8vo. This compact Book of Common Prayer was published during a period of particularly fractious religious tumult just prior to the start of the First English Civil War which was fueled in part by what was seen as King Charles I's pro-Catholic sympathies exemplified by his implementation of a more ceremonial sacramental version of High Anglicanism. Some of these contentious changes - as well the disquiet fomented by them - are alluded to in the Preface and "Of Ceremonies Why Some Be abolished and some retained" all of which follow "An Act for the Uniformitie of Common Prayer" on A2-A3.

Cambridge: Printed by John Field 1662. Ca. 500 p. Double column text ruled in red throughout. All edges gilt. Small 8vo. 170 x 120 mm. Very good. Contemporary full dark goat skin leather blind tooled English full somber binding. Early marbled endpapers. A very good example of a sombre binding ca. 1667. The covers are blind tooled in a handsome frame and panel design that includes small acorns stars flowers and vines. The same elements appear on the spine compartments between five raised bands. The richness of the tooling on the binding is effectively disguised by this `black on black' work. Some scholars say that these were most popular in Puritan London where ostentation was frowned upon. But most of these sombre bindings appear after the restoration of King Charles II and reflect the royal court's encouragement of public and private displays of mourning for the beheading of his father King Charles I. Their use on liturgical books also accelerates after the Great Plague of 1665; and disastrous London Fire a year later. The timing of its use on this particular example certainly illustrates those influences. References: Wing 2nd ed.

1794C3188<p><b>A splendid copy of the Good and Harding Book of Common Prayer in a striking masonic binding by John Lovejoy.</b><br /></p><p>The London bookbinder John Lovejoy <i>fl.</i> c. 1781–1812 is known by his distinctive Masonic bindings employing an array of Masonic tools often arranged in striking compositions. He was himself a Mason from around 1791 until 1812. His practices as an employer however earned him a certain notoriety among binders and the nickname 'the Tyrant': as a journeyman in 1781 he advocated a reduction in the working day from fourteen to thirteen hours but when a master binder he bitterly opposed such a change and was among the employers who prosecuted the leaders of the 1786 strike. Although it is accepted that Lovejoy was not as previously thought the only binder using Masonic motifs close comparison of the tools with other examples of his work suggests this binding to be his. </p><p>Good and Harding's 1794 Common Prayer appeared in two settings one octavo and the other a splendid large quarto as here. The fine series of stipple-engravings shows both biblical and liturgical scenes including several by Federico Bartolozzi and Luigi Schiavonetti after Thomas Stothard and Silvester Harding. The plates are variously dated between 1791 the date of the dedication and 1794 suggesting the work was several years in progress and perhaps issued in parts; copies are rarely seen with all fifteen engravings. </p><p>ESTC T88819; <i>for Lovejoy see</i> Ramsden <i>London Bookbinders 1780-1840</i> pl.

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.
