Bible in English
A New Version of the Psalms of David. Fitted to the Tunes Used in Churches
Boston: Printed by Joseph Bumstead for David West 1790. pp. 358 2 ads. 1 vols. 12mo. Contemporary calf. Joints a bit tender; tiny chip at tail of spine. A beautiful unrestored copy and with Pierce family inscriptions on the endpapers. pp. 358 2 ads. 1 vols. 12mo. With unusual ownership painting on the endpaper identifying the Psalms as belonging to Benjamin Pierce's Book 1791 and depicting a man up a tree by way of ladder either to send apples to another man seated below or to read his psalms aloft in peace-- let the viewer be the judge! <br/><br/>The following leaf includes a calligraphic presentation in 1799 to James Pierce who notes its use by "the society in Brattle Square" which we take to mean the then Congregational and later c. 1805-1876 Unitarian Church on Brattle Street in Boston Massachusetts. <br/><br/>The church distinguished itself by its somewhat relaxed attitude toward rigid Calvinist practices and by iits array of important ministers: Benjamin Colman 1699-1747; William Cooper 1716-1743; Samuel Cooper 1747-1783; Peter Thacher 1785-1802; Joseph Stevens Buckminster 1805-1812; Edward Everett 1814-1815; John Gorham Palfrey 1813-1831; and Samuel Kirkland Lothrop 1834-1876. The parishioners were no less esteemed: John Hancock Samuel Adams Joseph Warren John Adams Abigail Adams Richard Clarke Elizabeth Greenleaf Jane Mecom John Lowell Lydia Hancock Henry Cabot Lodge James Bowdoin 1676-1747 and many others. Hans Gram played organ in the late 18th century. The Pierce family's early days in America perhaps coming as early as about 1620 were spent largely in New Hampshire and Massachusetts and their legacy includes Benjamin Pierce governor of New Hampshire 1827-1830 as well as ten generations spent in what is now an historic landmark of seventeenth-century architecture currently serving as a museum in Dorchester Massachusetts. It is difficult to place exactly which Benjamin Pierce and James Pierce this copy belonged to in the large and lively family. Evans 22351 Printed by Joseph Bumstead for David West unknown books

NATIONAL UNION OF WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE SOCIETIES. PROGRAMME. National Union Women's Suffrage Societies. Men's League. Women's Suffrage Portsmouth n.d. but 1908. <br/><br/>Broadside 335mm x 208mm printed on recto onfy; alittle foxed and with creases where folded but still a remarkable survival. Programme for an evening meeting that began with a musical recital followed by the singing of suffrage songs the words are printed - one of them is by Margaret O'Shea sister of the secretary of the Portsmouth NUWSS societyand then a speech by Lady<br/>Balfour followed by more singing before a rousing closing speech by Alice Abadam Interestingly the 'Vote of Thanks' is seconded by Alderman Sanders LCC who in 1908 was Labour parliamentary candidate for Portsmouth and whose wife Beatrice was financial secretary to the WSPU. We believe this programme may date from 1908 - because there is a mention at its foot of an Exhibition of Banners Fuller's tea Rooms Palmerston Road - and such exhibitions were common after the June 1908 Hyde Park rally. unknown books

The general engraved title is undated and the sectional full title-page for the NT is dated 1611 but the printer's colophon at the end is dated 1612. The text of the Apocrypha is included as a part of the contiguous whole. The edition of the Genealogies which is here bound prior to the Bible is one of the several folio printings attributed to Beale that are partially sorted as to minute variants in STC and ESTC; however this example does not conform to the variants in ESTC in regard to the line-breaks in the side note on A1V. The present edition of the Sternhold and Hopkins Psalms includes some music settings. This is among the last folio London printings of the Geneva text the standard text of 16th century Protestantism and the text referenced by Shakespeare Donne Bunyan et al. The first edition of the NT was printed in Geneva in 1557 and was first printed in England in 1575-6. ESTC S1189; S101955; and S122901. Herbert 312.

Bible English
The Holy Bible Containing the Old Testament and the New: Translated out of the Original Tongues and With the former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised
Birmingham: John Baskerville Printer to the University 1763. The third variant of the Subscriber's list with the most names ending with that of the Hon. Charles York Esq Attorney General. 1146 pp. 1 vols. Folio. Bound in full dark blue straight-grained morocco covers tooled in gilt with wide Greek key and drawer handle border with floral cornerpieces narrow gilt filet-bordered rectangles tooled all over with drawer handle and sunburst tools and semé off small dots with central gilt-stamped L with crown spine with six double raised bands titled in one compartment stamped with owner's name "Frederic Powys" in another and the rest richly gilt a.e.g. pink endsheets by Staggemeier and Welcher with their circular pink paper label on front pastedown. Front joint and headcap with conservation repairs of the highest quality light foxing to text. The third variant of the Subscriber's list with the most names ending with that of the Hon. Charles York Esq Attorney General. 1146 pp. 1 vols. Folio. Baskerville's Masterpiece in Staggemeier & Welcher Binding. The 1763 edition of Baskerville's Bible has always been recognised as his masterpiece and is one of the high-points in the history of printing in Britain. This beautiful and monumental binding can be closely dated because Thomas Powys formerly MP for Northamptonshire was created Baron Lilford in 1797 and Staggemeier & Welcher are recorded in partnership on Villiers Street as of 1799. By 1810 Welcher was in business alone at that address. The Hon and Rev. Frederic Powys whose name appears on the spine was the third son of the first Lord Lilford; he married in 1807. Whether the binding was commissioned for his taking holy orders or on the occasion of his marriage can only be conjectured. A landmark of printing in a splendid binding. Nixon p. 184; Gaskell Bibliography of John Baskerville 26; Ramsden p. 135. Provenance: Frederic Powys his name tooled in gilt to spine Lilford Library booklabel John Baskerville, Printer to the University unknown books

Brockett assembled remarkable collections of books medals and coins and the sale of part of his library in 1823 through Sotheby's lasted fourteen days and raised more than £4000. That sale catalogue notes numerous bindings bearing his arms by the great London binder Charles Lewis 1786-1836.

This large paper copy is about 2 inches taller.<br/>A fascinating work on dialects in the north of England in a fine binding bearing the arms of the author.
