1809rif. LTH20-A-3Oxford: Dawson Bensley and Cooke 1809. Leather. Very Good. 12" by 9.5". None. A beautifully bound 1809 publication of the Book of Common Prayer. Bound into the end is 'a new version of the Psalms of David fitted to the tunes used in churches by N Brady Chaplain in Ordinary and N Tate Poet-Laureat to His Majesty'. Printed 1807. With 'the form and manner of making ordaining and consecrating of bishops priests and deacons'. Includes the calendar with the table of lessons the table of movable feasts. Printed at the Clarendon Press by Dawson Bensley and Cooke printers to the University; and sold by W. Dawson at the Oxford Bible Warehouse Paternoster Row London. The Book of Common Prayer is the short title of a number of related prayer books used in the Anglican Communion as well as by the Continuing Anglican "Anglican realignment" and other Anglican churches. The original book published in 1549 Church of England 1957 in the reign of Edward VI was a product of the English Reformation following the break with Rome. Prayer books unlike books of prayers contain the words of structured or liturgical services of worship. By the 19th century other pressures upon the book of 1662 had arisen. Adherents of the Oxford Movement begun in 1833 raised questions about the relationship of the Church of England to the apostolic church and thus about its forms of worship. Known as Tractarians after their production of Tracts for the Times on theological issues they advanced the case for the Church of England being essentially a part of the 'Western Church' of which the Roman Catholic Church was the chief representative. The Book of Common Prayer has had a great influence on a number of other denominations. While theologically different the language and flow of the service of many other churches owes a great debt to the prayer book. Together with the Authorized version and the works of Shakespeare the Book of Common Prayer has been one of the three fundamental underpinnings of modern English. As it has been in regular use for centuries many phrases from its services have passed into the English language either as deliberate quotations or as unconscious borrowings. In a decorative contemporary Regency full morocco binding. Externally generally sound although rubbed the front joint just starting. Internally firmly bound. Bright with light scattered spotting.

Provenance – Inscribed by two hands: First inscription probably contemporaneous with publication: J – L inked through and obscured. "At the Great Posterne betwixt Cripplegate and Moorfields. Druggist." Postern.

Alsted" Sacrilegy est instar - Justinian's Code and later interpreters such as Frederick II used this concept to argue that questioning the ruler's decisions was akin to violating religious sanctity. Interesting to note that the Alsted quotation is in Dutch Robert Robson appears to have been a well-educated individual with knowledge of canon law. He has also made a marginal annotation to the Prayers: "Pem. Arcadia p. 243" ie The Countess of Pembroke's Arcadia; by Sir Philip Sidney. Frontispiece to 'Eikon Basilike: The pourtraicture of His Sacred Majestie in his solitudes and sufferings'; emblematical design; to right Charles I kneeling on his left knee looking upwards with his head three-quarters right holding a crown of thorns a book propped on the table in front of him and a crown at his feet; a ray extends from his left eye to the crown of martyrdom at top right. The frontispiece is cropped to be accommodated in such a small volume. "Marshall's design is known in seven slightly different states – an indication that the image was in great demand with a plate being worn down by the continual printing process and re-engraving many times over. Multiple English and overseas editions of the Eikon Basilike resulted in five additional frontispieces based on the original design signed by contemporary engravers and etchers including Wenceslaus Hollar Thomas Rawlins and Robert Vaughan together with numerous unsigned versions by unknown artists after Marshall" William Marshall's Frontispiece to the Eikon Basilike 1649 By Pierce Helen; Kemp Geoff.

This copy complies with the British Library and Oxford University Magdalen College copies but there are variants with a further plate similar to the octavo editions. There is no evidence that this copy has ever had an extra plate.

This marked a major shift in British legal and political history.
