James Hervey 1714-1758 was an English writer and clergyman. Although influenced by Wesley and the Oxford Methodists he remained a committed Calvinist. Mediations and Contemplations was his first published work first appearing in 1746 with many further editions appearing in his lifetime. Said to be modelled on Robert Boyle's Occasional Reflections on Various Subjects 1665 but Hervey's style is more bombastic and revealing of both simple piety and a genuine appreciation of natural beauty.

Best.-Nr. 8312Half leather binding in good condition: 8°: pi1 8 A-X 8 Y 2.Engraved title page by Simon Fokke after Jeronimo de Bosch. Contains 8 plates three of which are also after De Bosch. Third edition.Hervey had a lasting impact on art through William Blake who painted Epitome of James Herveys Meditations among the Tombs between 1820 and 1825. Hervey is also mentioned in Blakes work as one of the holy guards to the four-fold gate and his influence on Blakes poem The Tyger has also been noted.Lit.: Buijnsters Tussen twee werelden. Rhijnvis Feith als dichter van Het graf Assen 1963 p.50; De la Fontaine Verwey De illustratie van letterkundige werken in de XVIIIe eeuw Amsterdam 1934 pp.70 Fontaine Verwey cat. p.151 De parochiegeestelijke James Hervey 1714-1758 behoorde in Engeland tot de vroegste aanhangers van de methodisten een beweging binnen het protestantisme die een terugkeer beoogde naar een echt-christelijke levenswijze. Zijn boeken waren ongelooflijk populair: toen hier in 1754 de 'Godvruchtige overdenkingen' verscheen was in Engeland de 'Meditations among the Tombs' 1746 al aan zijn elfde druk toe. Ook in Nederland maakte Herveys preekstoel-proza plechtstatig en overladen met beeldspraak gedurende enige tijd grote indruk: na deze derde verscheen al in 1762 nog een vierde druk. De prenten zijn gemaakt in de voor Fokke kenmerkende levendige stijl. L0277 hardcover
