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.

16013683Salamanca: S.n. 1601. 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. 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.

29030801Shaoshan n.d. ca.1950. Indigo blue stitched cloth binding in the Yao minority style 21 x 35 cm. covers very goodold dusty contents first page lower corner restored some old pencil marks seven hand-color outline illustrations plus 5 hand-painted lotus flowers and 6 color brushed Mao slogans on the verso of illustrated pages. The work appears to be a kind of minority color painted book stitched in a fascinating and unusually beautiful style commonly used by minority peoples. The book illustrations seems to have been black-outline printed first then later hand-colored with gouache type colors brushed in. Facing each illustration are found the slogans. On previously blank pages there are lovely lotus flowers a symbol of Buddhism. BINDING: The work was obviously hand-bound using indigo blue looks black and red cloth both appear to be hand dyed the indigo piece could be home-woven rough cotton. The white spine stitching is of a heavy thread and double stitched with extra "x" stitches to give a more "stunning" look. The corners are pre-bound with red after which over-layed with the indigo then stitched. This corner treatment gives the book a more protective binding and prevents wear. Obviously the book was bound with much attention and respect to protect the sayings of Mao. The covers are closed with red and green thick string tied into "frogs" to lock the cover when closed. This is a traditional clothing replacement for buttons. The work is in a limp cloth binding with a lovely feel and has quite charming looks. The book is 20 x 35 cm. when closed. CONDITION: The work has some old pencil scribbles on a couple of page corners as well as some old penned name/small note these do not detract from the whole and are minimal. There is a faint bit of old damp on some pages or their versos. Covers have some old dust on the front with a couple small light colored stains. We are overly critical surely the new owner will be pleased to acquire this one ! UNIQUE HANE-MADE HAND-DRAWN WORK: All in all an unusual item from the beginning of communism in China. The book was found in Changsha Honan province at the site of the Mao Museum open market. The seller looked like a minority Yao and stated she brought it from home which was also Mao's home town in Shaoshan. Regardless of the story the book appears to be precisely what she described it to be. In an effort to convince others of their devotion to Mao especially in small communities throughout China many minorities continued their handi-crafts and made Mao tribute pieces. Such favorite slogans as "LONG LIVE MAO 10000 YEARS" "DONT EAT TOO MUCH RICE" "SAVE COAL" DONE USE TOO MUCH COOKING GAS" "WORK TOGETHER" "BE POLITICALLY CORRECT." . unknown
