Frontispiece by Grignion after Hayman; printed in double columns. A few scrapes and light abrasions to bindings couple of old ink stains to front cover of volume II corners lightly bumped. A very good set. A handsomely printed Georgian Bible in a grand period binding. Provenance: from the library of the prominent Liverpool merchant and slave trader John Sparling 1731-1800; both volumes lettered in gilt on front cover "John Sparling Esqr." and with dark brown morocco labels lettered "St. Domingo House 1790. Lancashire"; armorial bookplate of William Sparling Petton in the second volume; volume I verso of front free endpaper bearing brief family genealogy down to 1815. "John Sparling was in partnership with William Bolden in the Virginia trade from the 1750s importing turpentine tar and tobacco and exporting salt hardware and woollen goods. Sparling also had interests in at least 29 slaving voyages between 1767 and 1793 although it is impossible to identify the value of the separate elements of his business as there is virtually no reference to his slave-trading activities in the surviving letter-book. Further complexity is generated by Sparling's leap into speculation in building land in the difficult trading conditions of the early 1770s. Property speculation tied up cash and was generally the preserve of non-mercantile investors but with war looming and trade stagnant Messrs Sparling and Company purchased 4.68 acres of a former market garden from Thomas Critchlow in about 1770. By 1772 they had laid out and paved Sparling Street. Together they may have received a net return of 150 per cent over approximately 15 years on this investment. Sparling's venture into property speculation paid handsome dividends on another front. He appears to have purchased land further south and to have paid for its embankment out into the River Mersey. This was sold to the Corporation in 1774/5 as the site of the intended Queen's Dock for £6700 a phenomenal price even taking into account the costs of embankment £1450. It is tempting to conclude that Sparling's election to the Common Council in 1768 and mayoralty in 1770 were significant in giving him preferential knowledge of the Corporation's plans for dock construction. This windfall may have helped to fuel Sparling and Company's investment in privateering in the late 1770s with at least five large vessels owned by the partnership during the American Revolutionary War. Thus during the 1770s and 1780s Sparling had interests in the Virginia trade slaving privateering and land speculation. Much of the risk and hence the profit was shared with his long-term business partner William Bolden so that the extent of Sparling's personal profits will probably never be known. Nonetheless his career does shed further light on the mentality of the mercantile community and their attitude to wealth and status. It has long been assumed for example that social status was keenly sought alongside commercial success and that the profits of the trade including slaving were invested in country estates for this purpose. Yet for most of his 40 years in business Sparling resided in a large house in Duke Street with his counting house to the rear in Henry Street. His partners Bolden and in the 1770s the timber merchants Edward Mason and Cornelius Bourne all lived in the same fashionable area of south Liverpool. During this period he also served as High Sheriff of Lancashire 1785 and Mayor of Liverpool 1770 and 1790. Sparling's interest in country property would therefore appear to have been only part of a complex web of investments in the early 1770s rather than a major quest for gentrification. He purchased the St Domingo estate two miles from Liverpool in the village of Everton for £3470 in 1773. The price included the curious mansion erected by George Campbell who had named the estate after the capture of several rich prizes off St Domingo in the West Indies in the 1750s. It was not until 1793 that Sparling began to completely remodel the house into an imposing classical mansion simultaneously indulging his passion for beautiful trees. With meticulous attention to the after-life Sparling also purchased a handsome vault in Walton churchyard visible from the windows of his mansion. Despite this lavish expenditure two surviving letters from the late 1790s confirm that St Domingo had been used only occasionally until Sparling finally retired from business in 1799: "I observe by the newspapers you have advertised your house etc in Liverpool for sale from which I conclude you are altogether retired from business and that you mean to make St Domingo your constant residence. Knowing your aversion to an indolent life I am not surprised at this step provided that you were determined to give up the bustle of commerce" letter to Sparling from Joseph Sherlock of Baltimore 8 June 1799. Perhaps even more intriguingly Sparling had purchased an estate at Petton in Shropshire in about 1786 but does not appear to have resided there either. The 'indolent' life of a country gentleman may have been unappealing to a man steeped in 'the bustle of commerce'. By contrast his son William was to show no apparent difficulty in distancing himself from trade helped by his education at Eton and the purchase of a commission in an exclusive army regiment the 10th Hussars. William Sparling moved permanently to the Shropshire estate in 1804 and appears to have cut all ties with Liverpool" Jane Longmore Rural retreats: Liverpool slave traders and their country houses chapter 3 of Slavery and the British Country House Dresser & Hann eds.

Each volume housed in a burgundy flat-back cloth box by the Chelsea Bindery. First edition of the Roman Catholic version of the Bible the Old Testament in a contemporary Douai binding presentation copy from John Knatchbull vice-president of the English College at Douai to Lady Joanna Berkeley 1555/6-1616 abbess of the Benedictine Convent of the Assumption of Our Blessed Lady Brussels with his inscription at the head of the title page of vol. 2: "John Knatchbull to the honorable Lady and his most respected mother the Lay sic Barkley Abbesse of the English Monastery in Bruxells". Offered here with a pleasing copy of the Rheims New Testament in 17th-century calf together comprising the first Roman Catholic version of the Bible in English. The English College at Douai was founded in 1568 by William Allen. In September 1579 Allen announced the project of a new English translation of the Bible. The translation was primarily the work of Gregory Martin 1542-1582 with the revisions of Allen Richard Bristow and William Reynolds. Martin translated the entire Vulgate between September 1578 and July 1580 but the book was published episodically the New Testament with Bristow's notes at Rheims in 1582 and the Old Testament in two volumes at Douai in 1609-10. As a result complete sets in uniform contemporary bindings are a chimera. "The appearance of a Catholic Bible in English undermined traditional protestant criticism that the Roman church kept scripture out of the hands of the laity. Instead protestant theologians such as Thomas Cartwright William Whitaker and William Fulke attacked the credentials of the translators and denounced their work as filled with error. Despite such criticism revised versions of Martin's translation remained extremely popular throughout the English-speaking world for nearly four hundred years" ODNB. NT: Darlow-Moule-Herbert 177; Pforzheimer 68; STC 2884. OT: Darlow-Moule-Herbert 300; STC 2207. Rheims [NT] & Douai [OT]: John Fogny [NT]; printed by Laurence Kellam [OT], hardcover

BIBLE; English. MACKLIN Thomas.
The Old and New Testament.
London: Printed for Thomas Macklin by Thomas Bensley 1800. The grandest Bible ever printed in Britain 7 volumes large folio 458 mm x 370 mm. Contemporary russia rebacked to style in morocco spines lettered and tooled in gilt gilt ruled and foliate border to covers marbled endpapers gilt edges. With 71 full-page copper engravings after Fuseli and others most with tissue-guards some recent some absent engraved vignette head- and tailpieces engraved dedicatory page. Half-titles present. Some light rubbing to covers with minor wear around extremities small insect hole to rear joint and rear turn-in of vol. IV a very few instances of foxing and minor blemishes but generally clean. A very good set. First edition of the Macklin Bible "the most ambitious edition produced in Britain often pirated but never rivalled" ODNB. This vast undertaking dedicated to the king was published in 70 parts each at £1 1s. Lowndes. Macklin 1752-1800 issued his prospectus for the bible in 1789; he commissioned new type new paper and all the engravings initially offering 60 which rose to 71 promising a bible that would be "finished in a style of elegance and magnificence in Paper Printing and Engraving of which there is not in Europe or the world any example". It took 11 years to complete and the eventual cost of £30000 almost bankrupted Macklin. Though the final engraving was finished five days before his death the last of the vignettes was not completed for another six weeks and he consequently never saw the finished work.

BIBLE; French.
La Sainte Bible
Paris: L'Imprimerie de Monsieur 1789-1804. A beautifully bound set of one of the finest illustrated editions of the Bible 12 volumes in 6 quarto 307 x 232 mm. Contemporary dark blue straight-grained morocco by Charles Hering with his ticket in vols. 1 and 6 spines with five sets of double raised bands compartments lettered and tooled in gilt covers with two-line gilt border enclosing a central panel with delicate foliate corner pieces gilt edge rolls richly gilt lotus-and-palmette roll to turn-ins pale brown endpapers pastedowns with a foliate blind roll blue silk page markers edges gilt. With 300 engravings of which 252 after designs by Clément Pierre Marillier and 48 after those of Nicholas-André Monsiau folding map of the Holy Land. Late 19th-century bookplate of Richard William Smith Griffith to front pastedowns and his later monogram bookplate on verso of front free endpapers. Spines slightly faded occasional scuff to extremities and covers a few minor marks to covers mild foxing to contents but overall quite clean a couple of small chips to text block never affecting text front hinge of vol. 3 just starting. A handsomely bound wide-margined set. First edition thus the superior quarto issue with the plates after two of the finest French illustrators of the period Marillier and Monsiau. This is a beautiful set bound by Charles Hering d. 1809 "the artistic successor to Roger Payne the doyen of English bookbinders" Judith Goldstein Marks "Bookbinding Practices of the Hering Family 1794-1844" British Library Journal 6 1980 p. 46. This copy is significantly larger than that noted by Ray which measured 238 x 155 mm and is of the preferred quarto issue which he notes offered "fine impressions of the plates on 'satined paper'" Ray 47 a technique akin to the "hot pressing" process of John Baskerville which gives a pleasing sheen to the page. "The pertinacity with which this vast project was brought to completion between 1789 and 1804 is remarkable. Despite the vicissitudes of these fifteen hectic years the twelve volumes were published in twenty-five numbers with their 300 plates 204 for the Old Testament and 96 for New distributed exactly as promised for Defer de Maisonneuve in a prospectus of 1790. His only departure was the introduction of Monsiau in the place of Marillier as the illustrator of the gospels. The first 132 plates issued in eleven numbers of twelve plates each had appeared by the end of 1792. Thereafter the volumes were published sporadically no doubt as the conditions of the time dictated. Indeed this is clearly a Revolutionary Bible. Marillier's fondness for voluptuous subjects which found vent not only in 'Incest of Lot's daughters' I 63 and 'Joseph's chastity' I 150 but also in scenes of his own invention like 'Fornication and idolatry of Israel' II 239 was confirmed by the taste of the day and it is not fanciful to see an increased emphasis on violence in the designs of 1793 and 1794. Marillier provided five-sixths of the plates for this immense undertaking and thereby joined the succession of outstanding biblical illustrators" ibid. Cohen-de Ricci pp. 935-6; Brunet p. 887; Howe A List of London Book Binders 1648-1815 p. 46; Ramsden London Book Binders p. 81; Ray 47. Paris: L'Imprimerie de Monsieur, hardcover
