Bible - Greek New Teastament; Alford, Henry.
THE GREEK TESTAMENT: With a Critically Revised Text: A Digest of Various Readings: Marginal References To Verbal and Idiomatic Usage: Prolegomena: And a Critical and Exegetical Commentary. For the Use of Theological Students and Ministers. In Four Volumes
Four Volumes. Text in English and Greek. All edges marbled. 225mm. Original full leather bindings rubbed and worn. Original morocco spine labels. Sixth edition. Hardbound. Very good. Henry Alford (1810-1871) was an English churchman (Dean of Canterbury), theologian, textual critic, scholar, poet, hymnodist, and writer. "His chief fame rests on this monumental edition of the New Testament in Greek, which occupied him from 1841 to 1861. In this work he first produced a careful collation of the readings of the chief manuscripts and the researches of the ripest continental scholarship of his day. Philological rather than theological in character, it marked an epochal change from the old homiletic commentary, and though more recent research, patristic and papyral, has largely changed the method of New Testament exegesis, Alford's work is still a quarry where the student can dig with a good deal of profit." - Wiki.

Disbound. Paul et Virginie (or Paul and Virginia) is a novel by Jacques-Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre, first published in 1788. The novel's title characters are friends since birth who fall in love. The story is set on the island of Mauritius under French rule, then named Île de France. Written on the eve of the French Revolution, the novel is recognized as Bernardin's finest work. It records the fate of a child of nature corrupted by the artificial sentimentality of the French upper classes in the late eighteenth century. Bernardin lived on the island for a time and based part of the novel on a shipwreck he witnessed there." LIT BX 8

(Steele, Sir Richard).

Two Plays bound together: 162 p. Continuous pagination. Early ownership of J. Waldier, 1774, on first title page. Bottom margin of The Funeral title page clipped. 12 mo. 155mm. Virtually disbound. This perhaps should best be considered a candidate for rebinding. Sir Richard Steele (ca. 1672-1729), was a famed english author and politician. The Funeral (first produced in 1702), with its patriotic motifs, apparently attracted the favourable attention of the King himself. The Tender Husband, a comedy, had a brief initial run in April 1705. It returned to Drury Lane for performances later in the year and remained a staple of the London stage repertory for many decades, without remuneration for the author. It is significant that Steele did not have another new play produced until many years later when he was a partner in the Drury Lane management and thus able to reap rewards both as author and as manager - DNB.
