Full contemporary olive green morocco raised bands compartments gilt with cross- hatching covers with rolled leaf and flower borders surrounding a central compass-like device of leaves stems and buds a.e.g. marbled endsheets. Text leaves adjacent to inserted plates somewhat foxed foretips bumped otherwise a very good copy. One of two impressions of 1764 under Vaillant's imprint that ESTC suggests might have been printed in Amsterdam the other without Nourse's co-imprint. The first Vaillant edition cited by Griffiths is dated 1748 with editions dated 1776 1778 1780 and 1788 following. This copy has been extra- illustrated with the suite of appropriate engravings by G.L. Smith published in London in 1773 by William Dawson Pater-noster Row evidently just for this purpose the plate utilized here for the frontis bears a caption and Dawson's dated imprint. ESTC locates only four copies with this dual imprint and ten with Vaillant's name alone. GRIFFITHS 36:25. ESTC 142212. Chez P. Vaillant & J. Nourse dans le Strand hardcover books

22909THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER. New York: New York Common Prayer and Book Society 1853. First edition thus. Original full sheep gilt morocco label gilt. Worn but a solid copy in the original publisher's binding. Twain arrived in New York City after leaving St. Louis and went to work as a type-setter at John Gray's firm on Monday August 29 1853 and stayed there until mid-October when he left for Philadelphia. He wrote home to his mother on August 31 saying that he and forty other type-setters set type for an "immense" number of books and several magazines like The Knickerbocker New York Recorder Choral Advocate Jewish Chronicle Littell's Living Age and the Irish American. Most of the books published by Gray in 1853 were religious pamphlets and some anti-slavery texts; this is one of the few substantial books he published that year. Gray's four story building was next-door to the huge Harper Brothers pre-fire complex and it is possible that they were also farmed out work by Harper for publications without using their own printer's slug. unknown books

A magnificently bound and extravagantly extra- illustrated copy of The Book of Common Prayer prepared for presentation to or perhaps commissioned by Samuel Rous President of His Majesty's Council and Commander-in-Chief i.e. governor of Barbados from 1766 to 1768. He also served again in 1772 the year indicated on the rear cover. The Rous family Quakers residing in Barbados were leading planters on the island since the late 1630s. <br> <br> The fifty-nine plates bound in this volume to complement the text were originally executed for THE LITURGY OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND; ILLUSTRATED WITH FIFTY NINE HISTORICAL AND EXPLANATORY SCULPTURES ENGRAVED BY MESS. RAVENETT GRIGNION SCOTIN CANOTT WALKER AND W. RYLAND printed in London in 1755 by Edward Ryland. According to the titlepage included here as one of the extra-illustrated plates this work was published according to an act of Parliament on May 1 1755. However no copies of this 1755 title are recorded in OCLC or ESTC. In addition to The Book of Common Prayer and the engravings from THE LITURGY OF THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND this copy also contains a 1768 edition of A NEW VERSION OF THE PSALMS OF DAVID first printed in 1698. <br> <br> Considering the recipient and the combined contents of the volume these two texts and the extensive suite of engravings are bound in an appropriately sumptuous binding. Prepared for Samuel Rous who served as governor of Barbados the binding is a marvelous example of later 18th-century British bookbinding with extensive gilt decoration on the covers and spine as described above. A fine copy of an elaborately decorated and illustrated volume with a remarkable colonial-era provenance. GRIFFITHS BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER 1769.5. Printed by T. Wright and W.
