1762WRCLIT67594Cambridge: Printed by Joseph Bentham Printer to the University . 1762. Not paginated. ¶2A-2Z4A-C4. Folio signed in 4s. 40 x 25cm. Contemporary mottled calf six raised bands gilt monogram device of King George III in each spine compartment and in the extreme corners of the boards within a triple-ruled border four ribbon ties at fore-edge one nearly detached but otherwise intact a.e.g. Joints cracking but cords sound early amateurish repairs to spine ends and fore- corners edgeworn faint tidemark at extreme lower fore-corners of 3Z4 to end occasional marginal smudges but otherwise very good. An uncommon variant of Bentham's folio printing of 1762 with the separately signed Articles at the end concluding with C4. ESTC locates but one copy of this variant Queen's College Oxford as opposed to a dozen with the final leaf being 3A2. This copy has an interesting provenance: it is inscribed in the upper margin of the title: "GH Governor of Minorca 1766." After an active and successful military career George Howard 1718-1796 sat in the House of Commons for Lostwithiel from 1761 until 1766 when he was appointed Governor of Minorca -- the British had reclaimed the island in 1763 as a consequence of the Treaty of Paris. After holding the post for two years he returned to political and military pursuits and continued to flourish. His second marriage in May 1776 was to Elizabeth of the Beckford family. Given the Royal ornamentation of the binding and the nature of the inscription it seems probable that this represents a Royal gift to Howard if not on the occasion certainly in the year of Howard's appointment to the Governorship. On the front pastedown appears the bookplate two lions and "Virtus Mille Scuta" associated with the Howards of Effingham. In 1762 Bentham published editions of the Prayer Book in quarto octavo 12mo and folio the latter evidently in two issues -- the form recorded by Griffiths as 1762:2 and this form which is unrecorded by Griffiths.

Contemporary black gilt paneled armorial goatskin heavily gilt extra a.e.g. marbled endsheets. Engraved frontispiece. Text in double columns printed in black and red the whole ruled in red. Spine and upper spine quadrant of upper board restored with black calf edges of text block smoke-darkened with occasional shallow isolated penetration into margins early repair on verso of frontispiece tidemark in upper forecorner/quadrant of last three text leaves and endleaves small mend on verso of title at top margin occasional handsoiling and smudging a few minor marginal nicks or short tears; in spite of these detractions in the main a bright crisp copy. 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.
