1838284577Baltimore: Printed by John W. Woods 1838. First Edition. Full Leather. Very Good binding. A First Edition copy of Elder Plummer Waters' Salvation for the Chief of Sinners. the Elder was an early Baptist minister of Maryland preacher for the Fredericktown Hammond and Old Seneca Churches and a congregation in Lisbon. In his Salvation he puts forward his Baptist doctrine as well as gives an account of the opposition to his ministerial practices. He condemns the non-confrontational or purely intellectual sermons of many Maryland ministers which he likens to the dishonesty and cunning of "modern politicians." The same division on ministerial practices would eventually break the Maryland Baptists into "primitive" and "missionary" Baptists culminating in 1845. This work is perhaps an important text for examining the roots of the Maryland Baptist schism. First Edition with a partial list of subscribers to the work at the rear. Dampstaining to the bottom and top edges of the textblock and the fore edge of the preliminaries; blue spot on the bottom of some leaves; foxing throughout; nameplate on the front pastedown.

1897OB312<p>London: Lawrence & Bullen 1897. Hard Cover. 312 pages. 'Ser Giovanni's collection begun in 1378 and finished after 1385 derives its title Il pecorone 'the numbskull'-- a title probably not due to the author-- from the fact that so many pecoroni appear in the book. The frame story tells of a chaplain and a nun who on 25 successive days meet in a convent parlor each telling the other a story each day. About half the stories are fictional; the other half are drawn from the Chronaca of Giovanni Villani. Many of the tales are stupid but a few are definitely good. The best that of Giannetto and the Lady of Belmonte embodies the 'pound of flesh' motif in an excellent plot from which Shakespeare derived directly or indirectly the 'pound of flesh' portion of the plot of The Merchant of Venice' Wilkins. 110 copies printed of which this is number 95. Printed on 'Japanese vellum.' Good copy vellum spine soiled nicked at bottom. Stock#OB312.</p> Lawrence & Bullen hardcover
