CODEX SINAITICUS.
Codex Sinaiticus. A Facsimile.
2 Vols., folio (450 x 360 mm), introduction volume: 31pp., orig. printed wrappers, facimile volume: 822 pages of coloured facsimiles, orig. cloth, spine slightly creased, slip-case, the facsimile is an enormous and extremely heavy book. Codex Sinaiticus is one of the world's most remarkable books. Written in Greek in the fourth century, it is the oldest surviving complete New Testament, and one of the two oldest manuscripts of the whole Bible. No other early manuscript of the Christian Bible has been so extensively corrected, and the significance of the Codex Sinaiticus for the reconstruction of the Christian Bible's original text, the history of the Bible and the history of western book making is immense. This magnificent printed facsimile reunites the text, now divided between the British Library, the National Library of Russia, St Catherine's Monastery, Mt Sinai and Leipzig University Library.

SPEDDING (Patrick)
A Bibliography of Eliza Haywood.
848pp., cloth, a very good copy. This is the first descriptive bibliography of the works of Eliza Haywood (1693??1756) and her partner, William Hatchett (1701??1749?). The works have been separated and organized using the principles outlined by P N Furbank and W R Owens in The Canonisation of Daniel Defoe. Evidence for and history of attribution is discussed within the headnotes, and biographical information is given wherever possible, along with the title's publishing history. The bibliography contains many fresh attributions, locates 'lost' and difficult to find Haywood titles and lists dozens of unrecognized translations. It also contains a record of every reprint, facsimile, micro-format reproduction and e-text of works by Haywood; as well as a complete description of all the works published by her and those written by William Hatchett. Likewise, there is an account of all the works that have been attributed to Haywood in the last three hundred years. The history, arguments and evidence for each attribution is considered in full, both for those works accepted as part of the Haywood canon and those rejected.

MORRISON (Alfred)
The Collection of Autograph Letters and Historical Documents Formed by Alfred Morrison. (Second Series, 1882-1893). The Hamilton & Nelson Papers. Volume I: 1756-1797 [Volume II: 1798-1815.]
First edition, 2 vols., 4to, viii, 231, [1]; viii, 430pp., endpapers spotted, orig. cloth-backed boards, a little soiled and rubbed, printed paper spine labels chipped, uncut. The papers printed in these two volumes extend from 1756 to the death of Lady Hamilton in 1815. The earliest papers form the correspondence of Sir William Hamilton, and are almost exclusively of the period after his appointment as Ambassador to the Court of Naples; they include letters to and from some of the best known men of the time, and are full of details of the most interesting social and political events of the day. The second volume covers the years 1798 to 1815. The real interest of the series begins with the victory of the Nile and closes with Trafalgar; and the central object of that interest is the figure of Nelson. A highly important reference work, privately printed in a small number.
