OCLC records about 16 copies of the two issues combined; not found in Block or Garside Raven & Schöwerling. Binding rubbed; some light foxing and faint stains; very good copy. 12mo contemporary calf rebacked gilt rules and lettering. An uncommon and unusual novel written in the form of a memoir of seven days that two men the narrator and his guide Mr. Grey spend roaming the streets of London in search of answers about the morality and sanity of the world. They report on Londoners from all walks of life in their visits to banks the Stock Exchange coffee-houses Covent Garden St. James's "on a court-day" an auction house the Scientific Institute the British Museum and a "chapel for frail females" among many other places. The narrator and Mr. Grey discuss a multitude of subjects including fiction religion cruelty to animals and prostitution. And among the many conversations they record is one between a bookseller an author and two reviewers. Each evening they return to their inn to discuss that day's events and their conclusions about the moral madness of the world its follies and vices.

‎Early English Attempts At Paper Currency - The Earl Of Rochester Signs A Lengthy Document To Pay Judges. A Few Years Later The First English Banknotes Would Make This Process Far Simpler‎

‎LAWRENCE HYDE FIRST EARL OF ROCHESTER 1641-1711. Rochester was named a Lord of the Treasury in 1679. In 1681 he was elevated from Viscount Hyde of Kenilworth to Earl of Rochester. He had friction with King James II and was dismissed from the Treasury in December 1686 with a substantial pension. ROBERT HOWARD 1626-1698. An English Restoration dramatist Howard is best remembered for The Indian Queen and The Committee as well as his ongoing literary feud with John Dryden. During the English Revolution Howard sided with the Royalists at the Battle of Newbury and was imprisoned. After the Restoration he was elected to Parliament and made auditor of the Exchequer. DS. 1pg. 8 ½†x 8 ½â€. May 15 1686. Whitehall Treasury Chambers. A document signed “Rochesterâ€. It was written to Robert Howard the auditor of the Exchequer: “At my hearty Commendation By Virtue of his Majesty’s Letters Patents authorizing the payment of the yearly Sallarys sic to the Judges These are to pray and require you to make and pass Debentures for payment of such Summes of moneye sic as are and shall from time to time be due to Richard Hearn Serjeant at Law and one of the Barons of his Majesty’s Court of Exchequer upon his Sallary of One thousand pounds per annum according to the direction of the said Letters Patents and let sic the same be satisfied out of any his Majesty’s Treasure now or hereafter being and remaining in the receipt of the Exchequer not appropriated to particular uses by Act of Parliament For which this shall be your Warrant. Treasury Chamber the 15th day of May 1686. Rochesterâ€. The document is addressed “To my very Loving friend Sr Rob’t Howard Auditor of his Majesty’s Records of Exchequer.†This document concerns the creation of some of the first exchequer bills of credit which was England’s first attempts at paper currency. Obviously it was cumbersome to pay people since lengthy documents such as this example had to be written out and signed by an official. The first bank to permanently use banknotes was the Bank of England in 1695. The currency promised to pay the bearer the value of the note on demand. The next year the Bank of Scotland followed suit. The document has chipping to the margins and three tape stains to the edges and is in very good condition. The manuscript comes with numerous articles about the Scottish economist John Law who first introduced paper money in France and lecture notes from what seems to be an economics professor who used this document in his or her classes. unknown books‎

An appealing ephemeral survivor providing not only a wonderful insight into early 20th century variety theatre<br/>in London but of particular interest for the small advertisement found on p. 3 for a forthcoming meeting of the National Women's Social and Political Union one of a number held at the time during what was an intense period of activity by the Suffrage movement. 'A public meeting of women will be held in the Royal Albert Hall on Thursday April 29th at 8 p.m. Chair - Mrs Pethick Lawrence. Speakers Mrs Pankhurst Miss Christabel Pankhurst and others . special presentation to women who have suffered imprisonment for Women Suffrage . Men not admitted except to stalls and boxes'.<br/><br/>Mrs Pethick Lawrence had been released from Holloway on April 16 one of six terms of imprisonment that she served for her political activities having then been greeted by a carriage procession to the Criterion Restaurant for breakfast where 500 members of the WSPU were assembled. She had served two months in Holloway for her part in the February 24th meeting at Caxton Hall followed by attempts by members who had volunteered for "danger duty" to break police cordons and force an entry into the House of Commons to speak to the Prime Minister there was another attempt on March 30th. On April 17th the WPSU held a procession headed by a lady dressed as Joan of Arc from Marble Arch to the Aldwych Theatre for a rally. Further meetings were held on April 26th Queen's Hall the 29th this advertisement and on May 3rd Scala. The International Conference also referred to in the advertisement was held at St James Hall on April 30th. Delegates of the International Conference of Women Suffragists had accepted an invitation by the WSPU to be present at the meeting in order to 'hear an explanation of the militant policy from the leaders of the Union' Common Cause April 15th 1909 p.12. Clearly there were divisions amongst the various suffragette movements and in the end no member from the WSPU went as a delegate to the April 30th meeting - the international body's disapproval of the WSPU's militant stance evidently not having been resolved. unknown books‎

A few years before he left the rarity and consequent costliness of all 'Polyglot Bibles' gave him the idea of supplying a convenient and inexpensive edition. In 1816 Bagster brought out "The English version of the Polyglot Bible" with a preface by T. Chevalier in foolscap octavo size containing a selection of over 60000 parallel references mainly selected and all verified by himself. The book was extremely successful.

Title-page with cropped early annotation at top margin and same small "Society of Jesus" library stamp to lower corner. Some dampstaining and toning particularly to beginning. Some slight worming to fore-edge margin occasionally barely affecting text. Overall an excellent copy of the Rheims Bible. ìThe long title of The New Testament indicates at least in part the purpose which motivated William Allen and his small band of associates in the seminary of English Catholic refugees at Rheims. It was a losing battle for English Catholics merely to condemn the errors they claimed existed in other translations while declining to exhibit a translation which reflected their own critical principles.If the slow erosion of the Catholic faith in England was to be checked loyal Catholics would better withstand the taunts of Protestant Bible readers with the comfort and consolation drawn from a version of their own. As the title announces the translation was faithful to the Latin Vulgate but it also acknowledges careful comparison with the Greek. What the title does not specifically advertise is that Gregory Martin the chief translator borrowed freely from existing English versions. Close textual analysis has revealed many striking resemblances between the Rheims New Testament and Coverdaleís diglot of 1538. One new principle.was followed consistentlyótechnical words were transliterated in the text rather than translated the notes providing a clarification. Many of these words subsequently passed into the English language largely through the continuation of this practice by the revisers of the Authorized Version of 1611 who not only used these technical terms but also borrowed from Rheims many of its most felicitous and distinctive phrasesî In Remembrance of Creation 206. ìGregory Martin had originally translated the whole Bible into English but lack of funds permitted publication only of the New Testament in 1582. The long delay of twenty-seven years in completing the publication is underscored in the Preface of the Old Testament by reference to ëour poor estate in banishmentí In Remembrance of Creation 208. The annotations in the Old Testament are ascribed to Thomas Worthington who became President of the College at Douay in 1599. The ìApprobatioî is signed by three Professors at Douai.

Contemporary purple morocco spine in six compartments with raised bands lettered in gilt in the second and fourth repeating gilt decoration in others marbled edges marbled endpapers.<br/> <br/>Provenance: Solomon Nunes Carvalho each cover stamped in gilt<br/> <br/>Rare large-paper association copy of the first Jewish translation of the Pentateuch into English.<br/> <br/>More than any other person of his time Isaac Leeser 1806-1868 envisioned the development of a major center of Jewish culture and religious activity in the United States. He single-handedly provided American Jews with many of the basic religious texts institutions and conceptual tools they needed to construct the cultural foundation of what would later emerge as the largest Jewish community in the history of the Jewish people. Printed in 1845 this edition of the Pentateuch in five volumes included a vocalized Hebrew text of each of the Five Books of Moses together with an English translation and notes as well as the haftarot prophetic readings. Leeser actually began working on The Law of God in 1838. Among the factors involved in his decision to begin systematically working on a translation was the recent opening of Rebecca Gratz's Sunday School which met for the first time in March 1838 in Philadelphia and was desperately in need of appropriate study material. Students were compelled to use the King James Bible for want of a Jewish alternative. Religiously objectionable passages in other texts provided by Protestant organizations were either pasted over or torn out by Gratz's staff. Leeser who supported the Sunday School and was its chief academic resource person felt compelled to find more suitable texts for the students. The impetus for Leeser throughout was always his desire to provide the Jews of America with an English text of the Bible that was produced by one of their own and was not tainted by conversionist motivations. This copy with provenance to Solomon Nunes Carvalho who was a noted American painter photographer writer and inventor best known for traveling with John C. Fremont on his fifth expedition through Kansas Colorado and Utah. He published an account of that journey titled "Incidents of Travel and Adventure in the Far West; with Colonel Fremont's Last Expedition" 1860 and was considered a pioneer in travel photography. Isaac Leeser the hazzan of Congregation K.K. Mikveh Israel married Carvalho and his wife Sarah Miriam Solis on October 15 1845 in Philadelphia where Carvalho's father had a workshop.<br/> <br/>Rosenbach 569; Singerman 884; Goldman 7; Lance J.
