Quarto contemporary full green morocco elaborately gilt-decorated spine raised bands marbled endpapers all edges gilt. $2200.Lovely 1758 Cambridge quarto edition of the magisterial Book of Common Prayer handsomely bound in contemporary full morocco-gilt.Born of Thomas Cranmer�s desire for liturgical texts upon which all of Europe�s Protestant English-speaking churches could agree and which all English-speaking believers could easily comprehend the Book of Common Prayer first issued in 1549 has become what Diarmaid MacCulloch calls �one of a handful of texts to have decided the future of a world language.� �Cranmer had been a Cambridge scholar he had held a lectureship in Biblical studies and a diplomat before being plucked by Henry VIII to be archbishop and he almost certainly did not imagine that he was writing one of the great abiding works of English literature� But the acute poetry balanced sonorities heavy order and direct intimacy of Cranmer�s prose have achieved permanence and many of his phrases and sentences are as famous as lines from Shakespeare or the King James Bible� The New Yorker. Beyond its vocabulary and phraseology the prayer book is �for most Englishmen second only to the Bible� PMM 75. Bound with a contemporary edition of Sternhold and Hopkins� popular metrical psalter. Though the title page is dated 1758 this copy contains four cancel leaves 2C1-4 with prayers celebrating the accession of George III in 1760 instead of the prayers commemorating the accession of George II as called for in the Table of Contents �A Form of Prayer for the 22d Day of June�. Also included leaf 2C4r is a proclamation by George III dated 7 October 1761. Griffiths 1758:6. Old owner inscriptions.Occasional light foxing. Restoration to gutter of leaf C5.

Quarto early 19th-century full polished paneled tan calf gilt rebacked with orignal spine laid down raised bands. $13500.First edition of the first Scottish Book of Common Prayer�the book that became a harbinger of the English Civil War�beautifully printed in Gothic type with decorative woodcut initials throughout handsomely bound.""In the 1630s events in the Scottish Church moved towards crisis. In 1633 using an elaborate English form of ritual Charles was crowned at Edinburgh. Three years later new ecclesiastical canons were drawn up for the kingdom. They enforced church furnishings of the English type strengthened the powers of the bishops� and excommunicated any person who challenged the King's supremacy in church matters. Matters came to a head in 1637 with the attempted introduction of a Scottish Book of Common Prayer� drafted by Scottish bishops following the advice of Archbishop Laud. It takes a higher view of church practice than its English counterpart� and contains undertones of prayers for the dead and the eucharistic sacrifice. Its attempted introduction at St. Giles Cathedral Edinburgh on July 16 1637 ended in riot and the Scottish Council promptly suspended the book"" Aspects of the Western Religious Heritage 25. Charles I overrode the Scottish Council insisting on enforcement of the Scottish prayer book. His order began the chain of events that led to his downfall and eventual execution; in February 1638 Scottish committees which had formed to protest Laud's Book of Common Prayer convened to sign the National League and Covenant repudiating royal authority in Scotland. Two years later the English parliament was recalled and by 1642 the English Civil War had begun. The majority of the text in large Gothic type with beautiful woodcut initials throughout. Both title pages within typographical borders; first title page and Almanack printed in red and black. Without two suppressed leaves of ""Certaine Godly Prayers"" R7-R8 almost never present.

Tate: A NEW VERSION OF THE PSALMS OF DAVID FITTED TO THE TUNES USED IN CHURCHES. London: H. Woodfall 1768. 26 leaves printed in triple columns. A fine copy. 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. 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. 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.
