Henry Sacheverell 1674-1724 was a popular preacher at Oxford University. His controversial printed sermons attracted attention in London. In 1709 he became chaplain at St Saviour’s in Southwark. In November of that year he made his most contentious speech to date attacking Catholics and dissenters by comparing the Gunpowder Plot to the execution of Charles I. Despite an order banning the printing of the sermon by the Lord Mayor he independently published it prompting the Whig government to take action. Articles of impeachment for high crimes and misdemeanours were drawn up to which Sacheverell gave an uncompromising reply. Found guilty he was banned from preaching for 3 years 1979 invoice for previous owner tucked in at front ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall . Jacob Tonson hardcover

réf. 20209"A Saunter to 'Le Bocage Normandy' and back"- "April 2nd 1910 waxed and waned bright still and cold. After getting my pupils off in the morning I managed to pack and start with my bicycle and luggage by the afternoon express from Redhill to Brighton. There I went to Lewes where I met my cousin Percy Roxby.".Very legibly writen on 42-pages approx. 11000 words interleaved in a photograph album containing 42 half-plate photographs illustrating the tour these inserted 1 per page into the album leaves. The volume measures 10 1/2 x 8 ix 2 1/2 inches and weighs 1.8 kg.The writer has much interest in architecture especially ecclesiastical which is reflected in his choice of subject for many of the photographs."Mont St. Michel.I can and must say a little about the general flavour we obtained from our one-night's visit as it will linger long with me. We fully expected to find the little islnd so crowded with buildings and human beings as to be spoilt to us as a pleasure resort. We were absolutely wrong! Owing probably to the time of the year.we found the little island-town almost given over to ourselves and the rustic inhabitants. We had been led to expect crowds of English and much touting among the citizens. We found none of either.And it was principally owing to this fact that the most delightful 18 hours of our tour in Normandy to me was at Mont St. Michele. We put up at Nadame Poulard's of Omelette fame. The Omelette came to us at dejeuner; very good; but nothing out-of-the-way for France. Moreover we find that Madame Poulard has now retired and the whole establishment is in in the hands of a Company! We climbed up to the Hotel leaving our bicycles at the garage of the City at the foot of the mount. No bicycle could enter the City-proper. We climbed to the Hotel and then we climbed up from there to our bedrooms in an anex to the Hotel.". unknown

1888réf. 5014Paris / Lille Société de Saint-Augustin 1888 Première édition. Un ouvrage inhabituel racontant l'histoire des missions catholiques romaines en Afrique. Un grand livre. Couvertures souples reliées en vélin avec titres et motifs imprimés en noir sur les couvertures avant et arrière. Le vélin est encore et un peu craquelé par l'âge, et il y a un petit trou sur le bord du dos. Cela semble être une façon très luxueuse de relier un livre à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle ! Le corps d'ouvrage est séparé de la reliure en vélin - mais il se peut qu'il ait toujours été davantage un dossier ou un portefeuille, car il n'y a aucune trace d'attachement à l'intérieur du vélin. La reliure du corps d'ouvrage est fragile et, bien qu'elle tienne à peine, elle est un peu lâche. La première page est un titre chromo-lithographié, avec une décoration dorée dans le style d'un ouvrage médiéval. Le monogramme des Jésuites se trouve au centre du dessin. Il y a une déchirure fermée sur le bord inférieur. Il y a ensuite 148 pages, bordées d'un motif floral rouge. Les illustrations sont nombreuses. Celles-ci retracent l'histoire des missions chrétiennes en Afrique depuis la fuite de la sainte famille jusqu'à la fin du dix-neuvième siècle. Gravures (aciers) en noir et blanc et en sépia tout au long de l'ouvrage. Certaines sont en vert. Ouvrage attrayant, plutôt fragile, avec de légères rousseurs intermittentes. Nous n'avons trouvé qu'un seul autre exemplaire dans sa reliure d'origine. Il s'agit de l'un des quatre ouvrages traitant de l'Afrique, de l'Asie, de l'Amérique et de l'Océanie, chacun étant complet en soi. 38cm x 27cm. Conforme à WorldCat / OCLC : 7635132. La Société de Saint-Augustin était en fait une maison d'édition de Desclée, de Brouwer & Cie. Il s'agit d'une maison d'édition active à la fin du 19e siècle, connue pour sa littérature catholique et ses ouvrages missionnaires.

1859réf. 5474London N.P. 1859 Première édition. Une collection attrayante mais difficile à trouver d'ABC lithographiques pour enfants / livres de coloriage datant de 1859. Il n'y a aucune information sur l'éditeur, ni aucun titre pour les uvres. L'ensemble se compose de sept livres pour enfants distincts. L'ouvrage compte au total 58 feuilles. La plupart d'entre elles sont imprimées en chromolithographie couleur sur une seule face (sept feuilles sont imprimées en couleur des deux côtés), ce qui donne un total de 65 pages imprimées. Six des sept ouvrages sont complets, et il semble manquer deux feuilles à l'un d'entre eux. Les sept ouvrages sont les suivants : [1] Animal ABC. Sept feuilles avec des illustrations d'animaux et de grandes lettres en dessous. [2] Animal ABC. Cinq feuilles avec quatre animaux et du texte sur chaque feuille. Seules les lettres A à P sont présentes, nous soupçonnons donc qu'il manque deux feuilles. [3] Poèmes sur les animaux. Huit feuilles avec une grande image et un court poème. Numérotées de 1 à 8. [4] The naughty Chicken. Un conte moral pour enfants avec une grande image et des vers en dessous, dans un cadre décoré de rouge. Dans le style victorien typique, le poulet espiègle est condamné à mort par le tribunal de Londres et exécuté. La dernière planche semble montrer le poulet en train d'être mangé ! C'est ce conte qui nous a donné la date du volume, car il illustre les lois pénales de Londres de 1859. Huit feuilles numérotées. [5] Old mother Hubbard. Huit feuilles numérotées avec une grande illustration, le titre au-dessus et des vers en dessous. [6] Nursery Rhymes. Il y a sept feuilles de chromolithographies (assez nombreuses sur chaque page) alternant avec sept feuilles de texte. Les feuilles de texte sont imprimées des deux côtés, soit 14 pages (y compris une double page ABC). [7] Who killed Cock Robin. Sept feuilles de lithographies en couleur avec des vers en dessous. L'ensemble est relié dans une couverture décorée estampée à chaud et dorée. Légèrement frotté et abîmé. Le dos semble avoir été restauré. Les pages à l'intérieur sont légèrement noircies et rouillées. Quelques petites réparations archivistiques sur certains bords de pages et renforcement des pages de garde.. Une collection fascinante. 25,5 cm x 19 cm.
