Best.-Nr. 19091'B. Friars Blackfriars London April 27th. 1785.'. 3pp. folio. Bifolium. Addressed on reverse of second leaf 'To Mrs. Squire Wragby near Lincoln.' In fair condition aged and worn with Middleton's seal cut away from the second leaf without any loss to text and a number of closed tears along creases. Seventy lines of neatly-written text. A letter filled with pious sentiment beginning: 'Mr. Squire favored us To-day with a Call and it gave us a peculiar Pleasure to see that he is so well recovered from that Fit of Illness in which my Brother & I saw him notwithstanding the uncommonly severe Winter we have since had. But at the same Time I observed Mr. S. lookt so well I thought I discovered great Anxiety in his Face; which led me without knowing the Particulars of the Court's Decision against his Suit in Law to presume on offering a few Hints for his Consideration with a View to reconcile his Mind to the Divine Providence upon a Supposition of the worst. Duty & the Use of Means are our's; but the Event is GOD's.' Exhortation and anecdote follows with Middleton writing midway through the letter: 'I hope Mrs. Squire will have Grace to exercise a good Understanding with which She is so eminently blessed in reasoning scriptorally & consequently wisely upon the present as well as all other the Vicissitudes of this mortal Life; remembering that there is a Design & a Voice in every Affliction we meet with. The Design through GOD's LOve is our Good. The Voice is To sit more loose in Your Affections to the perishing Things of Tme & Sense which at most are Your's & mine but for a little While .'. The postscript reads: 'Mrs. Middleton begs a Tender of her Compliments <to> You and the Miss Squires.' 'B. Friars [ Blackfriars ], London, April 27th. 1785.' unknown

1650Best.-Nr. GD04390ogAmstelodami: Apud Ludovicum Elzevirium 1650. Amstelodami: Apud Ludovicum Elzevirium 1650 24mo 8 pp. including engraved title page; 589 pp. text lacking pp. 1-12; 3 pp. index. Later full calf; gilt lined flat spine with label; front hinge starting from top; wear to edges and corners; marbled endpapers; title page backed; pages closely trimmed with some loss. Willems: "Il y a deux editions differents sous cette date. On reconnaitra la plus jotie des deux a la p. 269 cotee par erreur 169; dan la seconde la p. 285 est chiffree 185." This copy has neither error. However "Les Elzevier d'Amsterdam ont donne trois autres editions de ces Colliques meme format et meme pagination en 1662 1668 et 1677." Given the loss at the beginning of this volume it is possible that a 1650 title page could have been attached to another edition. Unfortunately this copy also has a 3 pp. index not 2 pp. as Willems states existed in the four editions with this pagination. While Willems may have erred in regard to the index there are only a few lines of print on the third page it cannot be stated with certainty which edition the text of this copy is from. Hard Cover. Good/No Jacket. 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall. Amstelodami: Apud Ludovicum Elzevirium Hardcover
