The coloured postcards show the following vessels : HMS Dreadnought Making a Record -:- HMS Dreadnought 'On Guard' in the North Sea -:- HMS Superb at Anchor -:- HMS Bellerophon on Gun Trial -:- HMS Invincible Coming Into Harbour -:- HMS Indomitable Home AGain. The photographs and cards are mounted onto thick card all the photographs are fronted by a glassine title leaf the text is on art paper all bound within a full calf gilt case all edges gilt the binding with silk end-papers signed by EYRE & SPOTTISWOODE. The leaves are now coming loose from the binding the spine is wearing at the ends despite which both joints are intact the front board carries the gilt Royal coat of arms the rear board has the gilt Admiralty device. This clearly a special production for a high functionary probably naval - an ink inscription on the verso of the front free end-paper reads 'B.J. Dec.1940'; an erased pencil signature can just be read - W. R. YEADELL . However the style of binding and printing is considerably earlier than 1940; all of the named ships were completed in 1906-1907 and the appearance is of a work pre-WWI. unknown
1687réf. 655L25London: Anon 1687. First edition. Brochure/Pamphlet. Very Good. 8" by 6". None. A seventeenth century pamphlet concerning Daniel Defoe's 'A New Test of the Church of England's Loyalty' and 'A Reply to the New Test of The Church of England's Loyalty'. This work also includes Sir Francis Walsingham's letter to Monsieur Critoy concerning Queen Elizabeth's proceedings against papists and Puritans. It has since been proven that this letter is a forgery and has since been attributed to Francis Bacon writing in collusion with Archbishop Whitgift. The letter was first found in 'Scrinia Sacra' before being published to this work. With the signatures A2 B-C4 as called for. ESTC No. R6019 The first and only edition of this work. Written anonymously. This pamphlet is a response to Daniel Defoe's 'A New Test of the Church of England's Loyalty' and the anonymously produced 'A Reply to the New Test of the Church of England's Loyalty'. It discusses the penal laws made during Elizabeth I's reign which are the Act of Supremacy the Act of Uniformity and the Supremacy of the Crown Act. This work was published the same year that James II passed his penal laws or the 'Declaration of Indulgence' or 'Declaration for Liberty of Conscience' were a pair of proclamations. It was the first step to establish freedom of religion in the British Isles with the King's intention being to promote Catholicism. The declaration was to grant toleration to many Christian denominations. This pamphlet was circulated at a difficult time for the country in terms of its monarch Parliament and Religion. There was an uprising in anti-Catholic sentiment and against James' rule. Political pamphlets like this added fuel to the fire. The year after this pamphlet was issued the Glorious Revolution took hold and James was dethroned. Collated complete. Disbound as is common. Externally smart with just some minor chips and creases to the extremities. Prior owner's contemporary inscription to the title page. Internally generally firmly bound though strained in places. Pages are age toned with the odd handling mark and spot. Prior owner's pencil inscriptions to the top corner of pages indicating page numbers from when this work was once bound.

Compartments ruled lettered and decorated in gilt. Red and green labels gilt. Marbled paper on boards. ---- An important early feminist utopian novel. The most famous work of Sarah Scott 1720-1795 'Millenium Hall' describes a female utopia free from male violence where property is held in common and a community of women conduct lives devoted to artistic pursuits and education Christian virtues and philanthropy. Through its focus on female equality education and friendship and with the Hall forming a model of mid-century reform ideas it provided a fictional embodiment of the ideals of the Blue Stockings Society of which Scott was a member and of which her sister Elizabeth Montagu was leader. A successful work in its time it went through four editions by 1778 and in recent years has undergone a resurgence of scholarly and public interest with a renewed focus on its early feminist meaning.
