1683Original Wraps. 8vo. [6], 37, [1] pages. 20 cm. First edition. Full title: The Protestant resolution of faith: being an answer to three questions: I. How far we must depend on the authority of the church for the true sense of Scripture? II. Whether a visible succession from Christ to this day makes a church, which has this succession an infallible interpreter of Scripture, and whether no church, which has not this succession, can teach the true sense of Scripture? III. Whether the Church of England can make out such a visible succession? . The protestant resolution of faith (1683) , maintained that since the age of the apostles the church has had no infallible guide but the scriptures. William Sherlock (c. 1641 June 1707) was a Church of England clergyman and religious controversialist. Sherlock was a leader among the brilliant group of London divines including Thomas Tenison, William Clagett, and Simon Patrick who carried on the literary defense of the Church of England against Catholicism from late in the reign of Charles II into that of James II. Sherlock's 'Protestant Resolution of Faith', first published in 1683, was republished in 1685, 1686, and 1687, at the height of the struggle under James. Subjects: Faith - Early works to 1800.

In-8, demi-maroquin bleu nuit, dos à 4 faux-nerfs filetés or, auteur et titre dorés, daté en pied, couverture conservée (rel. moderne dans le goût de l'époque), lj, (3), 412 p. Edition originale, couverture de premier tirage et page de titre de remise en vente comportant une mention fictive de "deuxième édition". "À la faveur d'un quatrième séjour à Londres (mai-août 1839), Flora Tristan actualisa la vaste enquête sur l'Angleterre industrielle. Elle montrait l'Angleterre comme le laboratoire de la civilisation qui ne tarderait pas à gagner l'Europe; elle mettait en garde contre un modèle de développement où l'homme était sacrifié à la tyrannie du profit. Les 'Promenades dans Londres' approfondissaient sa vocation d'enquêtrice sociale" (S. Michaud, in Maitron cd-rom). Du point de vue de la composition et du style, certainement le meilleur des livres de Flora Tristan, où elle donne toute la mesure de son intelligence, de sa sensibilité et de sa lucidité politique. La parution de l'ouvrage en mai 1840 coïncida avec une crise économique majeure, une grève quasi-générale des corporations parisiennes et une structuration de l'organisation ouvrière à un niveau jamais encore atteint. "Les Promenades" obtinrent, dans ce contexte, un accueil élogieux de la presse républicaine et socialiste et un important retentissement populaire. "Au fond, à scruter de près les 'Promenades dans Londres', on peut dire que trois livres s'y trouvent superposés : une enquête de science sociale, une didactique révolutionnaire, un Evangile romantique" (François Bedarida). (J. Puech, 'Vie et oeuvre de F. Tristan', p. 489, n° 9. Maitron, Cd-rom). Quelques rousseurs éparses. Très bon exemplaire, très bien établi dans une reliure de maître.

1742réf. AMO-3555Par M. Locke, traduit de l'anglais par M. Coste. Quatrième édition, revue, corrigée et augmentée de quelques additions importantes de l'auteur qui n'ont paru qu'après sa mort, et de plusieurs remarques du traducteur, dont quelques unes paraissent pour la première fois dans cette édition. A Amsterdam, chez Pierre Mortier, 1742 (i.e. 19 août 1741 - achevé d'imprimer) 1 volume in-4 (26,5 x 21 cm) de XLII-603-(17) pages. Portrait de l'auteur gravé à l'eau-forte en frontispice (dessiné par G. Kneller, 1697, gravé par E. Morellon de la Cave, 1734). Reliure hollandaise strictement de l'époque plein vélin, dos lisse à coutures apparentes, titre à l'encre au dos (époque). Vélin légèrement sali. Intérieur frais. Quelques rousseurs. Ensemble très bien conservé, relié à belles marges. Quatrième édition française. La première édition française a paru en 1700 à Amsterdam chez Henri Schelte (in-4), traduite par Pierre Coste. Pierre Coste a traduit la plupart des ouvrages de John Locke (1632-1704) mais également l'Optique de Newton (1722). On lui doit des écritions critiques des Essais de Montaigne ou encore La Bruyère. Coste était devenu membre de la Royal Society le 25 novembre 1742. L'Essai philosophique concernant l'entendement humain (An Essay Concerning Human Understanding) a paru à Londres pour la première fois en 1689 (bien que l'édition fut datée 1690). L'un des ouvrages majeurs fondateurs de l'empirisme qui fut l'un des courants majeurs de la théorie de la connaissance, dans lequel John Locke développe ses idées selon lesquelles l'expérience est à l'origine de nos idées. L'ouvrage se divise en 4 livre : Livre I : Des Notions Innées. Locke montre que dire qu’une idée est innée signifie que l’âme aperçoit naturellement cette idée : c’est là le sens de cette doctrine. Donc il ne peut pas y avoir d’idée innée inaperçue. En fait, la seule chose que Locke concède à l’innéisme, c’est le fait que la faculté de comprendre soit innée. Livre II : Des Idées. Locke distingue dans l'Essai sur l'entendement humain deux sortes d’idées : les idées simples et les idées composées. "rien n’est plus évident à un homme que la perception claire et distincte qu’il a de ces idées simples." Livre III : Des Mots. C’est le nom qui fonde et scelle dans les idées mixtes cette union de plusieurs idées qui n’a aucun fondement dans la nature. Les genres et les espèces n’ont donc pas une existence réelle dans les choses mêmes ou dans la nature mais sont un artifice de l’esprit pour exprimer plus aisément telle ou telle collection d’idées simples par un seul terme général. Livre IV : De La Connaissance. Locke cherche à identifier les limites de notre connaissance. Notre ignorance vient de notre manque d’idées, du manque de liens visibles entre nos idées, ou du manque d’examen de notre part de celles-ci. Bel exemplaire, très pur, de cet ouvrage fondamental pour l'histoire des "Lumières" naissantes.

1965réf. 008278London: Her Majestys Stationery Office & The Earl Marshal of England 1965. This is a small archive of five documents from the 30 January 1965 state funeral of Sir Winston S. Churchill. It is unusual to find a coherent set of such items identifiably belonging to a specific individual in this case Charles Paul Greenway 3rd Baron Greenway 1917-1975. The current 4th Lord Greenway is one of ninety elected hereditary peers remaining in the House of Lords after passage of the House of Lords Act 1999. The documents included are: an embossed printed stamped an original ticket to the funeral issued by the Earl Marshal of England; printed GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS from the Earl Marshal for invited guests; a franked and stamped ON HER MAJESTYS SERVICE stationery envelope; two booklets available at the funeral - The Order of Service and The Ceremonial To Be Observed for the Funeral of The Right Honourable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill K.G. O.M. C.H. 30th January 1965. The issuer of these documents the Earl Marshal of England is the hereditary office of the Duke of Norfolk whose duties include organizing major ceremonial state occasions such as coronations and state funerals. The ticket is embossed with the sigil of the EARL MARSHAL OF ENGLAND. In calligraphy it specifies Block A and Row 17 and admittance for The Lord Greenway. The GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS document specifies the items provided Letter of Invitation Acceptance/Refusal Form Seating Ticket and Car Label and provides information on dress transport entry time and entry location for the Cathedral. The first two items specified as included with the GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS the Letter of Invitation and Acceptance/Refusal Form are crossed out with a single line in black ink. The ON HER MAJESTYS SERVICE" envelope which conveyed the formal invitation documents features the typed London address of The Lord Greenway. To the right is the ink-stamped frank from THE HOUSE OF LORDS S.W.1 OFFICIAL PAID. At the lower left is an elaborate crowned ink stamp of the HOUSE OF LORDS. The envelope was roughly opened upon receipt but is nonetheless complete. The invitation is fine apart from Greenway inked in blue-green on the verso. The General Instructions are creased once vertically and thrice horizontally ostensibly from original posting. The final two documents were available at the funeral itself a pair of booklets that detail the elaborate funeral proceedings for Winston Churchill. These are The Ceremonial to be Observed at the Funeral of The Right Honourable Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill and The Order of Service for the Funeral of The Right Honourable Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill. Both of these documents are in very good condition apart from the same inked notation on each upper left front cover verso. The blue-green ink and hand ostensibly that of the Baron reads Present Greenway 3rd Baron & Baroness of Stanbridge Earls in the County of Southampton. On Sunday 24 January 1965 Winston Churchill died at the age of 90. He had already become a living national memorial" of the time he had lived and the Nation Empire and free world he had served. His death completed his transformation into a national icon. The next day on 25 January the Queen sent a message to Parliament announcing: "Confident in the support of Parliament for the due acknowledgement of our debt of gratitude and in thanksgiving for the life and example of a national hero" and concluded "I have directed that Sir Winston's body shall lie in State in Westminster Hall and that thereafter the funeral service shall be held in the Cathedral Church of St. Paul.
