Quarto handsomely bound in period full dark-green grained morocco the spines with raised bands separating the compartments which are elaborately decorated in gilt in elaborate multi-tooled designs two compartments lettered in gilt the covers with gine gilt rolled borders surrounded by triple gilt filleted rules gilt rolled turnovers rose endleaves all edges gilt. cxxvii 92; 93-209 ci 12 Index and Colophon pp. A fine set very pleasingly preserved the bindings strong and handsome the text and illustrations crisp clean and unpressed some very occasional spotting to some fore-edges but an unusually nice set of the first edition. FIRST EDITION. 'The work of the poet and novelist Sir Walter Scott 1771–1832 frequently reflected his interest in Scottish history and he is regarded as having written some of the most influential historical fiction of the nineteenth century. His literary works include the poem The Lady of the Lake and the novels Waverley and Ivanhoe. Originally published in these two volumes in 1814–17 is a work of non-fiction that illuminates Border history as revealed through architecture and artefacts. Scott was not the sole author but his substantial introduction sets the historical scene for the entries on various castles churches and other historic structures on both sides of the border. Illustrative extracts of his poetry are also included along with many detailed engravings of the evocative scenes and buildings described.' Cambridge University The Border Antiquities of England and Scotland was initially published in 1814 co-authored by John Greig and William Mudford with contributions from Sir Walter Scott notably in the substantial introductory essay. The book is a survey of “specimens of architecture and sculpture and other vestiges of former ages” from the border regions of Scotland and England with historical descriptions accompanied by Greig’s engravings. The illustrations prioritise the empirical details of the architecture monuments and objects discussed in the text but at the same time in a typically nineteenth-century fashion they contextualise the historical monuments within romanticised landscapes. Capturing the historic buildings and sculptures in as much detail as possible the images present complex three-dimensional structures in all of their depth and detail using only lines and hatching on a two-dimensional frame. Paying minute attention to the damage on the structures the weathering and the differing textures of building materials these engravings are executed with scientific precision but without the flatness and sterility of a diagram. Not only do the engravings present clean and clear renderings of the structures described in the text they also incorporate elements of the same romanticism that infuses Scott’s literature. Almost every one of Greig’s illustrations incorporates staffage which gives a sense of scale and depth whilst also an adding allegorical side notes to each illustration. The figures serve a dual purpose technical and aesthetic directing the viewer’s eye to significant points in the image while also creating a romantic context for the scene. A natural abundance is emphasised in each engraving with lush trees and shrubbery framing the historical monuments within a romantic landscape while also acting as a device to create atmospheric recession. Greig even includes incidental details like birds over water and interactions between figures which also help to create the sense that the scene captures a specific place and time. In contextualising the scenes for the viewer these stylistic elements aid in the struggle towards achieving the illusion of three-dimensional space on the two-dimensional surface.

Published in 1739 by Company of Stationers in London. 96 pages. A-D12. About the Main Publisher & Work John Baskett 1664/5-1742 was the King's Printer for England. His sons Thomas and Robert and grandson by the latter Mark were also engaged in the press. By purchasing reversion of the King's Printer position Baskett kept it in the family for the following generation holding a monopoly on English Bible publication for 90 years until 1799. Baskett is particularly renowned for his imperial folio pulpit Bible of 1717-1716 nicknamed the Vinegar Bible. The bible listed is a pocket-sized format finely bound with exquisite craftsmanship using the finest materials. The bible along with its accompanying books of prayers and psalms was intended to be used for daily prayer meditation reading and reflection. CONDITION REPORT The book is in Very Good antiquarian condition. Exterior and binding: Tight hinges split and tender joints causing the boards to be a bit loose but holding. Burgundy-colored morocco is lovely and colorful. The gilt work is almost completely intact and still lustrous including the spine. Spine a tad darkened dry and cracking but not faded with the gilt work still shining. Rubbed spine and extremities. Spine tips leather rubbed away along with the headband. Corners slightly bumped and worn. Page edge gilt still glossy with some areas of rubbing/dulling. Interior: Pages are generally clean and lightly toned overall with an occasional darker toned/browning page. Light sporadic foxing overall heavier on the blanks. Original marbled endpapers faded per usual. Several former owner inscriptions on front and rear blanks including Ann Gibbs with her name in a beautiful artistic cursive dated March 4 1748 on the front blank. Robert Stoughton signs his name on the FFEP recto along with a lovely poetic inscription: 'Robert Stoughton his book God gave him grace - therein to look not to look but understand. Learning is better than house or land.' Pages are trimmed tight and a bit miscut by the printer at times affecting the running headlines on two leaves partially cropped. A few small marginal tears. Some insect predation on several page margins leading to feathered edges affecting text with some letter loss on the fore-edges of two leaves when the book worm got ambitious with its munching. Some light signs of handling like an infrequent smudge crease or bent corner. All in all a Very Good sammelband of a pocket bible Book of Common Prayer and Whole Book of Psalms in its original and exquisite fine Georgian red morocco binding nearly three centuries old but not looking a day over 150.

Première édition collective de 'Discourse on Free Thinking' d'Antony Collins dans la traduction de Henri Scheurleer, revue par Jean Rousset de Missy, accompagné de son "Examen" par Jean-Pierre de Crousaz (1715), analyse critique et commentaires, donnés séparément et qui occupe l'intégralité du tome II. La 'Lettre d'un médecin arabe', également due à A. Collins, dispose d'une page de titre propre (I, p. 241-168 [i.e 268]). L'adresse de Londres est fictive, l'ouvrage a sans doute été imprimé aux Pays-Bas, vraisemblablement par Marc Michel Rey à Amsterdam. Élève, correspondant et ami de Locke, Anthony Collins est l'une des figures centrales de la Libre-pensée britannique. Dans ce célèbre 'Discours', il approfondit la thèse de Locke sur l'homme produit du milieu et se livre à une apologie de la liberté de penser. La brève et fulgurante 'Lettre d'un médecin arabe' défend et approfondit son système: la doctrine qui attire la persécution n'est pas le mahométanisme, mais tout fanatisme. La postérité de Collins sera considérable parmi les Encyclopédistes français. "L'ouvrage parut dès l'origine comme le manifeste redoutable de tout un parti. La libre-pensée agressive, avec lui, était née" (G. Ascoli, 'La Grande-Bretagne devant l'opinion française', II, p. 86). Le livre fut mis à l'index dès 1715 et attira à son auteur de nombreuses attaques qui l'obligèrent à se réfugier en Hollande. (France littéraire, II, 253. Peignot, 'Livres interdits', II, 214). Très bel exemplaire, imprimé sur vergé de Hollande, parfaitement relié à l'époque en 2 volumes de maroquin rouge, condition rare pour ce type d'ouvrage.
