A rare first edition of a classic of the Portuguese Baroque literature which although describing several types of burglary of that time with practical examples it is mainly a treatise of ethics and moral for Portuguese and Spanish statesmen and rulers at the time of the Restoration of the Independence of Portugal. Work was attributed to Manuel da Costa among others and was written in 1652 the manuscripts secretly circulating until this first edition was published with the name of P. António Vieira with false local edition date and name of the printer. It was forbidden by the Portuguese and Spanish Inquisition. This first print was probably made by the Genoese João Batista Lerzo. P. António Vieira The «Emperor of the Portuguese Language » according to Fernando Pessoa. Ref.: Inocêncio I 287. P.

Excluida assim a idea de que a obra fosse de Vieira restava indagar a qual dos escriptores seus contemporaneos poderia attribuirse com maior verosimilhança. Alguns criticos tractando este ponto talvez com nimia prudencia não quizeram arriscar a respeito delle uma opinião decisiva.

Obra dividida em doze capítulos que trata da definição do espírito profético classifica as profecias em canónicas e não canónicas e demonstra que o Reino de Portugal desde a sua fundação fora um dos temas prediletos dos diversos profetas do antigo testamento entre os quais Isaías pode ser considerado como um «cronista dos descobrimentos de Portugal». É uma exaltação da pátria portuguesa escolhida entre todas as nações do Mundo para propagar a fé cristã predestinada a «descobrir o mundo ao mesmo mundo». Vieira dedicou uma parte muito importante do seu esforço às obras proféticas que considerava a parte mais importante da sua produção literária. Algumas das ideias expostas mereceram a desconfiança da Inquisição que deteve o P. António Viera durante largo tempo e que se viu obrigado a ir a Roma pedir uma intervenção do papa em sua defesa. Actualmente esta parte da obra Vieiriana que era pouco considerada pelos anteriores estudiosos tem sido cada vez mais valorizada. PADRE ANTÓNIO VIEIRA Lisboa 1608 - Salvador Brasil 1697 O maior escritor português autor de uma vasta obra em português latim e italiano sendo definido lapidarmente por Fernando Pessoa como o «Imperador da língua portuguesa». Ao mesmo tempo desenvolveu com brilhantismo visão e coragem actividades políticas e diplomáticas na defesa de Portugal durante a Guerra da Restauração tendo entrado em conflito aberto com a Inquisição que venceu com o apoio do Papa. Mais importante ainda foi a sua prolongada e dedicada actividade missionária em que se distinguiu pela defesa da liberdade dos índios e pela condenação da escravatura dentro dos moldes possíveis na sua época pelo que chegou a ser expulso pelos colonos que tratavam mal os escravos oriundos de Ãfrica e queriam escravizar os índios apesar das leis régias em contrário que obteve de D. João IV e de D. Pedro II. Vieira conseguiu conciliar um grande realismo político com uma crença arraigada no Sebastianismo começando por identificar D. João IV como o Desejado do mito Sebastianista que havia de ressuscitar. Apesar de Vieira dar grande valor e se ter dedicado prolongadamente às suas obras teológicas e proféticas foram os sermões que o consagraram como grande orador e escritor. A sua forte personalidade e capacidade oratória atraíam multidões para ouvi-lo pregar mas foi a possibilidade de se ter podido consagrar a rever e a acompanhar a publicação dos sermões que os tornou obras literárias de grande valor e não apenas o frio registo das suas capacidades oratórias. É também uma figura tutelar e fundadora da cultura brasileira país onde viveu e actuou com a maior coragem metade da sua vida e onde decidiu viver os seus últimos dias. Hoje a sua obra é muito influente e estudada no Brasil sendo oriundos desse país alguns dos maiores especialistas em Vieira tais como: Alcir Pécora Adma Muhana João Adolfo Hansen a par dos portugueses Margarida Viiera Mendes Arnaldo do Espírito Santo Ana Travassos Valdez e os referidos mais abaixo. Foi para a Baía com a família em 1614 onde Vieira frequentou o Colégio da Companhia de Jesus. Relativa a esta época chegou até aos nossos dias uma lenda que refere ter o jovem Vieira dificuldades da aprendizagem mas um certo dia repentinamente ultrapassou todas as suas dificuldades dando nas vistas pelas suas capacidades intelectuais e linguísticas tendo sido escolhido pera redigir o relatório anual em 1625 com apenas 17 anos sendo este facto conhecido como o «Estalo de Vieira». Em 5 de Maio de 1623 iniciou o noviciado na Companhia e durante ele passou algum tempo na Missão do Espírito Santo onde aprendeu a língua tupi e entrou em contacto com a cultura e a psicologia dos índios que haveria de defender durante toda a sua vida. Em 6 de Maio de 1625 proferiu os primeiros votos e logo a seguir como refirimos acima foi encarregado de redigir a carta ânua relativa aos anos de 1624 e 1625 e começou a ensinar retórica no Colégio de Olinda tendo sido ordenado sacerdote em 10 de Dezembro de 1634. Durante este período tornou-se notada a sua capacidade oratória e fez muitas pregações em casa da ordem em missões e fazendas tendo a primeira pregação oficial ocorrido no 4.º Domingo da Quaresma de 1634 na Igreja da Conceição da Baía. Em 27 de Fevereiro de 1641 acompanhou a Lisboa o filho do Marquês de Montalvão Vice-rei do Brasil começando um período de actividade política como conselheiro de D. João IV e diplomática missões em Paris e Haia de 1646 a 1648 Roma em 1650 e outra vez Roma de 1669 a 1675 onde tentou reactivar o processo de canonização do Beato Inácio de Azevedo e obter o apoio do Papa que lhe concedeu isenção perante a Inquisição Portuguesa pelo breve de 17 de Abril de 1675. Em Roma tinha começado a rever os seus sermões e o primeiro volume foi publicado em Lisboa em 1679. Em 27 de Janeiro de 1681 partiu para o Brasil tendo vivido até ao momento da sua morte perto da Baía ocupado na revisão dos seus sermões e em especial na redacção da sua obra de teologia e profética: Clavis Prophetarum.

1929Best.-Nr. 0001398CHAMBERSBURG PENNSYLVANIA PENN PA. Good. 1929. On offer is an original grouping of four 4 manuscript diaries dated 1929 through 1931 handwritten by Reverend John C Stuff and Isabelle Gish later Stuff written during a period when John was in seminary and Isabelle was working in Chambersburg PA. Historians and researchers interested in the development and growth of a young man seeking a life in Christian outreach with all the passions doubts and difficulties that occur with youth and young love will find a unique treasure trove having a pair of diaries from both sides of the relationship. With great charm we initially read a card at the front of one diary: "Each time you record life's happenings here will you think of someone else who is recording her events Let us strive to make each day better. Your devoted fiancee Isabelle". John has written that they were engaged on April 6 1928 formally announced the engagement at Thanksgiving and spent their first Christmas together in spirit and truth as an engaged couple. While the diaries are interesting on a number of levels the story of their increasing love and subsequent marriage are really the stars here. John writes: "I took Isabelle to the Chb'g train this PM. It is hard to watch the train pull out but thro the lingering last smile and the sparkle of the eye is the hope that cannot be lost but lives til the train brings her again to me. I resolve to read more and take Sem. life more conscientiously. I resolve to stand on my own feet self confident and courage equal to all others. To try to be more helpful and make my dearest happier." John's diary is fascinating reading as he considers his religious training in light of the real world around him and expresses his interest in some of the new religious developments such as the writings of Rutherford and Russel Jehovah's Witnesses and "this interesting age and life of Industrialism and Science." John's diaries unlike many more mundane diaries of clerical types are a study of real humanity as he struggles with the balance between his calling and his culture and the difficulties of life in modern times. Here is a snippet: "Mother William and I left for State College this AM at 7:00. Car wasn't working. Arrived 11:00 AM Will was registered and boarding at Criterion Club. I'm sure he will like it and get much from it. We came back thru Dry Run stopped at Esther's for 6:30 dinner. I was hungry and tired. Home about 10 pm. Esther and Jacob seem to be very happy. Probably a good thing that she was tired of teaching before marriage. That valley surely has its moral problems." "Tried to sleep this AM but couldn't. Got an interesting reaction from Isabelle. Today I don't see why she read the meaning into it that she did. We are both too sensitive and too easily upset by things which don't apply to us. Saw "Hallelujah" this pm I was a bit disappointed with the picture of negro life. Worked tonight again. Good radioing but getting very cold." "Left at 8:30 for Sem again. Arrived here. Went to 11:00 am class. Many boys not back yet. Several sick. Hill not back yet. I wish M Tozer were here this year. I think he would be a good companion. Miller and I saw "Gold Diggers" tonight. Very good show. Thank the Lord Isabelle isn't a gold digger; for ministers don't have - gold." "Rev Honch asked me to assist him in communion service this AM. I read scripture. Mk 10:12-26 and administered sacrament of wine. Little nervous at first but very good experience." "Cold coming up from Hotel. Slept from 10-1 pm today. Dinner with waiters. Slept this PM. Worked at hotel tonight. didn't eat till about 10 pm. Read NT and Listing to Dr Smith of Illinois. Preacher. My dear called from Ardmore tonight. I am so glad she called for it made me feel so much better in every way. Put new life into my work and thinking. Perfect understanding is a much desired thing." "Letter from Sem today. I'm ready to go back and wasn't to room alone. Began fixing the bed springs. Helped JN to refill silo this pm. Hard work and hot. Went to Mill. Has been reading Judge Rutherford - Russelism -he thinks more than the average man." Judge Rutherford was a leader of the Jehovah's Witness movement and Russelism was an early name for the tenets of the Watchtower Society. "Read H Spirit book went downtown and bought 3 bottles of ginger ale. The idea of bringing them up to Sem. was amusing." "Tonight we played cards til 8:30 then I read HS book and went to bed at 10:30 pm. Just a week ago I was relaxing with ease and comfort in Isabelles room and we were having a splendid visit. I wish I were there this weekend for I surely enjoy going down to see her and be with her if only the cost wasn't so great." "Wrote Isabelle felt like quitting and going down to her. Heartache for her. Studied Greek felt better after Chapel worked late." Here are snippets from Isabelle's diaries: Jan 1: "My first diary. Had the last vacation date with John tonight. It seems hard to part but time will pass and soon we will be together always. Dad sick in bed with the flu. Came back to Ardmore. What a thrill after such a nice vacation. John took me to Chambersburg for the train. 4:22 was almost starred and nothing in the apartment to eat. Chatted a while and went to bed. First day teaching. Taught three music classes for Miss Metzger. Unpacked fruit that came from home. Guess I'll do no more tonight. Too much talking. How glad I am its Friday. Made out some final tests today and wrote 3 letters. Sort of have the blues reaction setting in from vacation. Must iron some hankies then retire for a much needed sleep.Got weighed lost 3 lbs weigh 137. Henrietta gained 1 lb. Taught 2 B Art for Miss Rodgers. Held one of the pupils on my lap coming in on the bus route. Mrs Arterburn looked at me and said they had bugs. Makes me feel itchy. Mr Goos told Henrietta to take Ep. Salts for cold. Washed my hair. Taught two art classes today again. Was put on hall duty today. Another new job. Adeline Crouse invited me to a bridge party Feb 8th. Have a boil on my face. Kelly called Helen again. Gave Frank Cappella a taste of the ruler. Another boil on my face. Went up to Metzgers to see Henrietta's sister and Ismine. Insurance agent came. Helen met her at the door Judge jumped behind screen and I leaped to the bedroom. No time for such folks. Ma said we should take our paper downstairs everyday. She is afraid of fire. Judge shed some tears. Washed and ironed as usual. Carrie Miller was out in the afternoon. Rest went to Chambersburg. John and I practiced some music then went to see Will Rogers in "Lightning" Good light comedy. Had a long epistle from Henrietta. Made out marks. Had a letter from John. He made an appointment for vocal on Friday night. Someone took his hat on Sunday night. Went up to have Pauline Hege give me some q's on vocal but she wasn't home." Here is a specific breakdown of each book: Diary 1 is a Wanamaker diary for 1929 red binding used by Isabelle. The pages are firmly attached but the front cover and spine are starting to separate from the binding. However the book is in very good condition for its age and is solid. The diary is very full of writing and extra things are glued in on some pages. Diary 2 is a small National diary for 1929 used by John. It is very full and the writing is very easy to read. Diary 3 is a personalized Day by Day diary used by John with a lock on the strap that holds the diary closed. It is very full and is in excellent condition. John's name is embossed on the cover. Diary 4 is a Wanamaker diary for 1931 used by Isabelle. It is not as full as the other diaries. It was used almost daily until mid May after which it is blank.

1801Best.-Nr. 3865A scarce book of country excursions taking in some of the most striking landscapes and great houses within a day's journey of Bath. Three excursions are presented in the course of four letters with each excursion illustrated with a small part-page engraved map. The author describes in detail the landscapes cities and great houses along the way with plentiful information about the history of the towns gardens and architecture visited. Of particular note are Longleat Stourhead Fonthill and Wardour Castle. 'I am now to introduce you to one of the most splendid mansions in the kingdom Fonthill the seat of Mr. Beckford; where expence has reached its utmost limits in furniture and ornaments; where every room is a gold mine and every apartment a picture-gallery' p. 119. The description of Beckford's library is alas rather brief: 'The library is a large room filled with choice and expensive books; and decorated with appropriate paintings on the ceiling' p. 126. Warner also visits 'new' Wardour Castle - it was built in the 1770s - and gives a room by room commentary of the architecture furniture and paintings. Or particular interest is his description of the chapel: 'From this apartment we are carried into the western gallery of the chapel; a structure that displays superlative taste and magnificence. Crimson furniture and gilded ornaments produce an immediate striking coup d' œil; but when the decorations are examined individually the splendour and expence become more perceptible. Three immense pictures by Rubens cover the southern wall of the chapel; and one by this artist and another by Guido of the same majestic size are their opposite companions. The altar-piece is a Dead Christ by Cades. A large gallery is constructed at the western end superbly fitted up for Lord Arundel and his party; a second at the east end of the north side for the choir; and a third at the east end of the north side for the accommodation of visiters sic. Benches occupy the middle of the chapel for the reception of the domestics and such of the villagers as profess the Romish faith; for there is a Catholic seminary here the pupils of which punctually attend at morning and evening prayers. The eastern end of the chapel recedes into a semi-circular form through the windows of which light is admitted; but as these are placed high and consist of coloured glass the effect is extremely striking and solemn. The central window exhibits Angels and the awful Tetragrammaton from which is an emanation of glory. Brought forward from the eastern end sufficiently to allow the processions around it stands the Altar a most costly piece of workmanship fixed on a splendid sarcophagus of ebony; and constructed of porphyry agate and amber. A magnificent crucifix of silver surmounts the altar; and two censers of solid gold embossed with silver suspended over it pour through the chapel odiferous clouds of ever-burning frankincense. Every thing around indeed evinces that the Romish ritual is observed here with the utmost vigour and magnificence; and doubtless the celebration of its higher offices amid such seducing objects must act with infinite force upon the imagination. The effect produced by the externals of worship every man experiences who attends our Cathedral service which has not been stripped of so much of its lace as the common parochial ritual; how much then must this be increased when aided by exquisite examples of sculpture and painting; amid the strains of angelical music the glare of unnumbered lights and the Hallelujahs of numerous multitudes! The tamest fancy must be roused by such a scene and the coldest heart warmed into transport … It is but proper to add that the attendance of strangers at the service in Wardour chapel is considered as a compliment and every convenience provided for their accommodation' pp. 137-141. Richard Warner was an antiquary and an Anglican clergyman originally from the coastal town of Lymington in Hampshire. He became curate to Wililam Gilpin whose influence can be clearly seen in the present work dedicated to walking and the natural beauties of the west country. Warner obtained his first position in Bath in 1794 and remained there for some years writing a number of topographical works and a gothic novel Netley Abbey 1795 inspired by local ruins. He was a friend of Wordsworth who collected Warner's picturesque writings alongside those of Gilpin and who is known to have dined with him in Bath. In his lifetime Warner was mostly known for his controversial pacifist sermons and writings: it is thought that Blake was referring to Warner in the lines 'ask him if he is Bath or if he is Canterbury' in Jerusalem as claimed by David Erdman. Although this copy is in a later nineteenth century binding and was bound without the half-title a previous owner - possibly from the 1840s or 1850s perhaps contemporaneous with the binding and the newspaper cutting - has added an engraved portrait a Latin celebration of Bath an engraving of Farleigh Castle and a newspaper cutting referring to Paul Methuen of Corsham.

1775Best.-Nr. 3730London: Printed for T.Lowndes 1775 1775. First edition. 4to. 265x210mm. pp. iv 764 10 index. Ten engraved plates frontispiece portrait of the author and a further nine. The verso of the second leaf of preliminaries is numbered vi. Some foxing in places but otherwise internally very good with the plates in excellent condition. Handsomely bound in slightly later red straight-grained morocco upper and lower covers decorated with two double fillet borders in gilt enclosing a continuous "drawer-handle" design in blind and framing a continuous swag and drop border in blind. Spine with five double raised bands decorated in gilt and blind and lettered in gilt to the second and fifth compartment. Edges of the boards decorated in gilt. Turn-ins decorated in gilt with a wavy dotted line and ears of wheat with a flower motif in the corners. All edges gilt. The binding is of a very high standard. It is unsigned but the tooling and overall design conforms to the work of the German emigré binders and we would tentatively attribute the binding to either Christian Kalthoeber or John Bohn and date it to the 1790s or the very early years of the 1800s. A previous owner has inscribed the verso of the front free endpaper "Bound by Edwards of Halifax ". This seems unlikely but it is possible given the subject matter of the book and the links between Edwards and the German emigré binders that this copy did pass through Edwards's hands. John Watson 1723-1783 was that perfect eighteenth-century combination of clergyman and antiquary. He was the curate of Halifax between 1750 and 1754 and retained links with the town throughout his life. Starting with Druidical remains and moving through Roman affairs Watson brings the reader up to the eighteenth century. He covers the history of Halifax and provides details of the main buildings in the town as well as exploring fascinating byways such as "Remarks on the Dialect of Halifax""Vocabulary of Uncommon Words used in Halifax" and "A Catalogue of Plants Growing in the Parish of Halifax".

Loose chip from one rear corner laid in light wear at the edges including a few shallow chips and light creases. A pamphlet published by Rev. William L. Craft field secretary of The National Baptist Young Peoples Union Board used for recruitment efforts in the early 1910s.

Richard Henry Boyd; lists the organization's various presidents board members and officers; provides an overview of domestic and international missionary work; and prints a selection of various "don'ts" from spreading gossip and chewing tobacco to casting judgment and harming others.

1933Best.-Nr. 87897London: Kegan Paul Trench Trubner & Co 1933. First U.K. Edition. First Impression. Octavo 24cm; publisher's teal cloth titled in gilt to spine; dustjacket; 307pp. Slight scuffing and bumping to corners and spine ends; boards noticeably bowed; internally clean with some light foxing and spotting mainly confined to the page edges illustrated with full page plates; in a clean strong price-clipped dustjacket with some light spotting and soiling to the front and rear panels and some visible toning to the spine panel with some shallow fraying to the spine ends. All in all a Very Good solid copy of a book that is often considerable less pleasing. One of the definitive "modern" sourceworks for werewolf and lycanthropic myth legend and study. Alongside Sabine Baring-Gould's "The Book of Were-Wolves" from 1865 which Summers' work references frequently it is the generally acknowledged source-work for the field of werewolf were-creature and shapeshifter folklore. Summers whose reputation for eccentricity and obsessive study were not even slightly exagerrated writes with an accessible and informed confidence on a number of esoteric subjects with this work and his twin studies on vampirism "The Vampire in Europe" and "Vampire; Kith and Kin" forming a triangle of weird alternative and occult texts that in all likelihood are the origin of most of the commonly understood tropes and memes regarding the field. Summers' primary skill aside from being pre-eminent in spinning a good yarn was in academic research the advantage of this is that all of his major works regarding occult and esoteric subjects are essentially reading guides towards an expanded library of the subject gathered together in one easily accessible and compelling form. Whilst he may indeed have been madder than a sack of weasels and perhaps not the sort of chap you would want to leave in charge of a school bus his contribution to the fields of alternative study are undeniable and his books highly collectible in first edition.

1775Best.-Nr. 4402888London: F. Newberry 1775. Twelve duodecimo volumes with 117 engraved plates of 118 lacking plate XXVII 'Black tiger male panther and lynx'; preliminaries thumbed title of one volume perforated and another significantly browned one leaf of text ink-stained general foxing and offsetting; original sheep leather binding scuffed with split hinges; worn as is often the case with juvenile literature of this period but a charming set. A comprehensive natural history encyclopaedia for young people based on Pennant's system of classification. Animals are arranged according to quadrupeds fish birds and insects and each of these classifications is separately indexed. Besides the more usual natural history descriptions of animals vegetables and minerals this work is the first to describe for children Australia's most famous marsupial -- the kangaroo. The entry under the Jerboa vol. III p. 172 reads "Mr. Banks brought home the skin of an animal which he calls the kanguroo sic which from its general outline and the most striking peculiarity of its figure greatly remembers the jerboa yet it entirely differs in size and in many of those minute distinctions which point out the general ranks of nature. The kanguroo is often known to weigh above fifty pounds." The kangaroo was first seen by both Banks and Cook on 24 June 1770 and the first description of it appeared in Hawkesworth's Account of the Voyages published in 1773: "I should have taken it for a wild dog if instead of running it had not leapt like a hare or a deer. Mr. Banks also had an imperfect view of this animal and was of opinion that its species was hitherto unknown." During the remainder of the exploration of the east coast of Australia Cook records that both he and Banks shot and ate kangaroo on several occasions. He records two in particular that weighed eighty pounds and fifty-four pounds the skins of which Joseph Banks took back to England with him. Illustrations of over four hundred animals finely engraved in copper complete this charming eighteenth-century work intended solely to be used by children. . F. Newberry unknown

It is a unique and rare look at the travel of English aristocracy in the first half of the 19th century the last great age of the English landed gentry. The book is 30 pages in length of which writing is on every single page. Every page is filled with excursions observations and examples of lavish living for William Money his father and his cousin as they travel first to Rotterdam and then spend over a month in The Hague living at quite a fancy hotel exploring the city itself and taking day trips to landmarks around the country. The little book also includes descriptions of lavish dinners and days being waited on driven and doted on by servants and friends. It begins in the Summer 1824: June 25 1824. To commence my narrative I will give a short account of the two last days before our embarkation to Holland. I went to bed rather late on Sunday and was very tired. I had been running about Town the whole day had my teeth filed By the abominable dentist which is one of the Miserries of human life. My head was distracted in short I was a picture of misery.; June 26. The servants awoke me rather early this morning about five OClock however I was much refreshed and went to work like one who had done nothing but I forgot to state that I went to dine at a Gentlemans house on Friday and after all when I came home I had to prepare my things for Holland. Well to go on with my story we get off from No. 9 Manchester Street Manchester Square at 6 oclock this was Saturday morning June 26th 1824 our Party consisted of three my precious Father my cousin and myself. We had a gentleman's carriage to take us about town and a hackney coach to carry our luggage to the Tower that place which has executed French of the greatest and has been destroyed with Royal blood by the hoards of unnatural rebellion. The next day they are on a sailboat going from the East Coast of England and then landing in the Netherlands the next day: June 27th. Went on deck. I was expecting to see nothing but blue skies and the watery ocean but was pleasantly astonished at seeing land all around. This was lacey land I Know it by that name because the Dutch gobble so. We soon got into the river Maas after a fine voyage. We then eat our hearty breakfast.We here took up a pistol and tacked along at a fine rate saw plenty of Tony-legged bison which they called Storks. We got to Rotterdam at 12. From the instant of arrival Money is taken aback by how clean and orderly the Dutch cities are and how kind and lovely the Dutch people are as well. The layout of the cities with the canals and bridges also is commented on quite frequently. June 28th1824. We took Breakfast at Home. we went out with with and enjoyed the town. It is an elegant clean looking place. Trees shaded the walk from the burning sun and canals divide the Principal Streets. However we saw nothing no hous as they call it but came home to dinner at 4. Here we had a bottle of Mousel for dinner we went out again so that I was very tired we then came home and had tea at Mr. Mackplats where we had another Prayer and a delightful conversation. He accompanied us home where I soon got to bed and fast asleep.; After two days in Rotterdam it is off to the Hague where Money and his father and cousin will spend the rest of their time in Holland. Drove off to the Hague with which Place we are most highly delighted. I the beauty of it. It far surpassed my places that I have seen. We walked everywhere the People the PLace and all are so clean. We came to the Hotel de Belle where we have so very nice rooms that had attendance the man who drove us here cheated as that. We were not long here before . Of the gentleman who got these rooms for Papa he took us out to Table d`ote d`hotewhere we dined . This was 4 oclock and had an excellent dinner and a bottle of vin ordinaire called Bordeau.after dinner we went to Mr. Ls house to get him to show us the Place. He showed us everything in the wood.` The `wood` is most probably the Haagse Bos a rectangular neighbourhood and forest in the Haagse Hout district of The Hague Netherlands. This was simply called Die Hout The Woods Mr. L.made a capital bargain with the man only one Golden to go to that sweet Ducking Place the old man of the Place has fishing boats to go over to England for something or other. We came back after a good bathe.We then came home and prepared for dinner and went to Table Doht d`hote and after that we came back and then went to the Wood where we had tea.; After early June there are no entries until late July. July 23 1824. We got up at seven and had breakfast. We set off at 8 in a caravan with Mr. London and Mr. Tosc. We reached Leyden at 9 very much interested.We first went to the University where we saw all of plenty Indians what from all parts of the globe. We saw there a tree which was brought from Egypt in 1573 just about the time when Leyden was besieged. It was made a present by William the first and planted there We then went to the museum and saw curious specimens of all types. Mr. London went to the Anatomy Hall to gut us to see a Head. He came back saying we could only see one which was most beautiful all the views of the Head Neck and parts of the body it was very interesting.; Money also has a deep regard for the engineering works of the day and has a special fascination for the canals and waterways of Holland. We had dinner and then went to to see the sluis the most Beautiful work I ever saw. It was begun in 1784 and finished in 1787. The whole country was inundated by the overflowing of the Bacchus of the Nile. It was like a sea but now these are houses where there was formerly nothing but water. This formed so when the sea is very boisterous there's a good deal of sand connected to the side of the gate so that it is had to clear away as it is on the sea side. The way they do it is the precipe overflows then they lift the gates all of a sudden which goes with such force that it forces the sand away.`` This is accompanied by a page-length drawing of the canal with it`s locks and steps and houses on each sides. The drawing is amateur but well done. The book is in very good shape structurally. The writing is clear and concise script done in black ink. A few pages have some smudging and one page in particular has a good bit of ink fading but which impedes legibility but does not make it impossible. The front cover of the journal states: `Short account of a holiday spent in The Hague by William Money later Rev. William in the summer of 1824 when he was 22 years old.` This is not in Money`s handwriting and was added later by an unknown person.; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF REVEREND WILLIAM MONEY ENGLISH GENTLEMAN LANDED GENTRY 19TH CENTURY ROTTERDAM MANCHESTER ENGLAND UNITED KINGDOM THE HAGUE DEN HAAG DIE HOUT LEYDEN LEIDEN THE NETHERLANDS HOLLAND CANALS IN THE NETHERLANDS FLOOD CONTROL EXTRAVAGANT TRAVEL TABLE DHOTE SLUICE GATE AGE OF BRITISH NOBILITY COLONIAL ERA ENGLAND BRITANNICA HANDWRITTEN MANUSCRIPT DOCUMENT LETTER AUTOGRAPH WRITER HAND WRITTEN DOCUMENTS SIGNED LETTERS MANUSCRIPTS HISTORICAL HOLOGRAPH WRITERS AUTOGRAPHS PERSONAL MEMOIR MEMORIAL ANTIQUITÉ CONTRAT VÉLIN DOCUMENT MANUSCRIT PAPIER ANTIKE BRIEF PERGAMENT DOKUMENT MANUSKRIPT PAPIER OGGETTO DANTIQUARIATO ATTO VELINA DOCUMENTO MANOSCRITTO CARTA ANTIGÜEDAD HECHO VITELA DOCUMENTO MANUSCRITO PAPEL . unknown
