Front blank with the ink ownership inscription of John Drinkwater; inside lower board with the book label of Michael Curtis Phillips. Hayward "English Poetry" 121 this copy; Grolier Club "Wither to Prior" 976; Wing W2136; ESTC R7135. â—†Covers with light scuffing bottom leather thong of two broken but the text block quite secure at the top pastedowns lifted but the insubstantial binding still in remarkably good original condition; internally A VERY FINE COPY especially clean fresh and bright.<br/> <br/> From the library of Richard Jennings noted for the outstanding condition of his books this is an especially fresh and extraordinarily well-preserved copy of poems by a Puritan divine known for his surprisingly biting wit. Dryden dubbed Robert Wild 1609-79 "the Wither of the City" after hearing the Financial District's workers' enthusiastic reception of the title poem here which celebrates General Monck's successful campaign to restore Charles II to the throne: "I have seen them reading it in the midst of 'Change so vehemently that they lost their bargains by their candles' ends." Our collection contains several of Wild's most notable works including "The Recantation of a Penitent Proteus" satirizing Puritan clergy who had conformed to the Anglican Church; "The Loyal Nonconformist" professing his loyalty to the monarchy but maintaining his Puritan religious views; and "The Fair Quarrel" an attack on the 1665 Five Mile Act designed to drive nonconformist ministers out of their parishes. Wild was something of a paradox: he could preach a hellfire Puritan sermon but also write verse sufficiently scandalous to be mistakenly attributed to the notorious libertine John Wilmot Earl of Rochester. Our volume was loaned by Richard Jennings for the celebrated 1947 London Exhibition of First and Early Editions of English Poetry catalogued by John Hayward. It would not be reasonable to expect to find a finer unrestored contemporaneous copy of this imprint. Printed for the Booksellers in London unknown‎

‎THE FIRST BOOK OF MOSES CALLED GENESIS‎

‎London: Riccardi Press Philip Lee Warner for the Medici Society 1914. No. 288 OF 500 COPIES ON PAPER and 12 on vellum. 272 x 205 mm. 10 5/8 x 8". xv i 88 pp. 2 leaves. <br/> Original linen-backed pale blue paper boards top edge gilt others untrimmed. In the original blue-gray printed dust-jacket. Woodcut Riccardi Press device on final leaf title vignette and 10 color plates with captioned tissue guards after F. Cayley Robinson. Ransom p. 395; Tomkinson p. 149. â—†Dust jacket a little darkened and with minor chips and tears around edges a couple light stains and a little rubbing to lower edges of binding light browning to part of the pastedowns but a nearly fine copy the often-missing dust jacket generally quite well preserved and the text and plates with only isolated trivial blemishes.<br/> <br/> This is an attractive printing of the first book of the Bible in the august language of the Authorized Version and with ethereal color plates by Frederick Cayley Robinson depicting key events from the text. Painter set designer and book illustrator Robinson 1862-1927 studied art in London Paris and Florence and was much influenced by Edward Burne-Jones. Rendered in pale tones the plates here include one of Robinson's finest works "Death of Abel" which captures in DNB's words "the horrific moment after the fratricide—the 'frozen moment' held for eternity." DNB says further that our volume represents Robinson's "finest achievement as a book illustrator." Founded by Herbert Horne the Riccardi Press was adopted as the imprint of the Medici Society in 1909 and issued books until 1933. According to Tomkinson "the books have nearly all been printed at the Chiswick Press under the supervision of Charles T. Jacobi until his retirement in 1922 and published by Philip Lee Warner who was Publisher to the Medici Society until his death in 1925. . . . The aim of the Press has been to produce finely printed books at reasonable prices and for sale through the ordinary channels of trade. . . . All editions are strictly limited and the type is distributed after the edition has been printed.". [Riccardi Press] Philip Lee Warner for the Medici Society unknown‎

‎A REFORMED CATHOLIKE OR A DECLARATION SHEWING HOW NEERE WE MAY COME TO THE PRESENT CHURCH OF ROME IN SUNDRIE POINTS OF RELIGION AND WHEREIN WE MUST FOR EVER DEPART FROM THEM‎

‎Cambridge: John Legat 1598. Second Printing. 153 x 98 mm. 6 x 3 7/8". 4 p.l. 375 1 pp. <br/> Modern sprinkled calf blind-ruled covers raised bands flanked by double gilt rules brown morocco label remnants of paper library shelf label at tail of spine. Printer's device on title page. Front pastedown with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection; rear pastedown with deaccession stamp of Bradford City Libraries. STC 19736; ESTC 19736. â—†Spine just faintly sunned leaves lightly browned due to paper quality and trimmed a bit close at head grazing headline on a couple of leaves isolated marginal stains or tiny rust spots but an excellent copy fresh and clean in a sympathetic binding with few signs of wear.<br/> <br/> This was an important work in establishing distinctions in liturgy and doctrine between the Catholic Church and the Church of England written by a moderate puritan whom DNB considers "perhaps the most significant English theologian of his age." Perkins 1558-1602 was one of the most popular voices of his time speaking from a Calvinist puritan point of view; while he could be virulently anti-Catholic he did not believe in repudiating the English church only in reforming it. According to DNB "The genius of Perkins's work did not lie in its originality—his theology represents a conventional recital of Calvinist scholasticism in virtually every respect. His gift lay rather in bringing to a broad audience a variety of theological and moral issues popularizing essentially technical discussions and therefore as Fuller observed humbling 'the towering speculations of philosophers into practice and morality.'" The present work spread his polemical influence beyond England to the Continent; even the Catholic bishop William Bishop admitted he had "not seene any book of like quality published by a Protestant to contain either more matter or delivered in better method." Both the 1597 first edition and our 1598 second printing are rare: no other copies of either edition are recorded at auction by RBH or ABPC in the past 50 years. John Legat unknown‎

‎A VISIT TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES OF ASIA; WITH AN EXCURSION INTO PISIDIA; CONTAINING REMARKS ON THE GEOGRAPHY AND ANTIQUITIES OF THOSE COUNTRIES. A MAP OF THE AUTHOR'S ROUTES AND NUMEROUS INSCRIPTIONS‎

‎London: John Rodwell 1828. FIRST EDITON. 217 x 138 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 1/4". iv 339 1 pp. <br/> Contemporary diced russia raised bands spine attractively gilt in an arabesque style gilt-rolled turn-ins pink moiré endpapers all edges gilt.

Joints and extremities a little rubbed tiny crack just beginning at top of front joint two tiny chips to foot of spine very minor offsetting and foxing to map a couple of patches of marginal foxing but INTERNALLY AN ESPECIALLY FINE COPY--unusually clean fresh and surprisingly bright--in a good-looking well-preserved binding.<br/> <br/> In especially desirable condition this is quite a scarce travel account by the English antiquary explorer and clergyman Francis Vyvyan Jago Arundell 1780-1846 who visited the so-called Seven Churches of Asia also called the Seven Churches of the Apocalypse and the Seven Churches of Revelation locations in present-day Turkey of central importance to St. John and the Book of Revelation. In that book John who was a threat to Roman officials as leader of the new Christian religion in Asia had been banished to Patmos where he was visited by an apocalyptic vision directing him to write to the churches at Ephesus Smyrna Pergamum Thyatira Sardis Philadelphia and Laodicea commending their successes pointing out their failures and prevailing upon them to repent. These seven Turkish churches reflect a surprisingly significant role in the region's early Christian history with some scholars maintaining that as many as 18 of the 27 New Testament books were written there--and Arundell's narrative would have helped to raise the popular understanding of this importance. Following his marriage to the daughter of the British consul-general at the Levant Company in Constantinople Arundell became chaplain to the company's trading center in Smyrna now Izmir in 1822. From there he embarked on a series of tours through Asia Minor including places that according to DNB "until then had for the most part not been described by any European traveller." The present work is the product of the author's first tour which included two separate excursions between March and September of 1826. Despite being a clergyman Arundell's interest in these sites was primarily archaeological and historical and this work includes his firsthand descriptions of the ruins he encountered facsimiles of Greek inscriptions found there and narratives of the arduous journeys between sites that were well off the beaten path. This work is surprisingly scarce in commerce suggesting that copies were often read with avidity. John Rodwell unknown‎
