1927Best.-Nr. 021553Boston MA: Houghton Mifflin Company 1927. First Edition. Edges lightly rubbed corners bumped very minor soiling else a near fine tight copy of a scarce title. 292 pages. "THE rural police officer has hed an extremely hard time of it at the hands of detective story writers. His stupidity stubbornness general incompetence and illnature or worse have made him a useful foil for the astute amateur sleuth or argus-eyed professional from New York or Scotland Yard. Alexander Morrison's new "thriller" "The Crookshaven Murder" is unusual at least in this that his hero is the village Inspector of Police Ezra Sewall a man who at first glance "might have been taken for a healthy middle-aged farmer dressed in seedy working clothes." The King case was his first murder; he handled it in a way which proved him anything but a fool; yet if it had not been for the clue so cleverly ferreted out by Mrs. Ellen Bascom he might never have discovered the truth about the past of the man who called himself Gerard King. For when King came to live in the village of Crookshaven no one knew anything about him except that he was a successful writer of mystery stories. His kindness and unfailing generosity soon made him populer and he had many friends in the place long before the night when he arranged a play for the amusement of his guests. It was a murder mystery in which his was the part of the victim and which they were to unravel if they could. So when after some tense moments in the dark the lights flashed up and showed him fallen forward over his desk they all thought it part of the play. For a while they laughed and chattered; then in the midst of their merriment discovered that their host Instead of shamming was actually dead. He had been stabbed through the heart. the story is entertaining many of its developments are ingenious and though the younger lovers are mere conventional puppets Ezra Sewall is a real person and so is Ellen Bascom of the flannel nightgowns the peppery tongue warm heart and invincible modesty. The portrayal of these two is the best part of "The Crookshaven Murder." -- New York Times review of August 7 1927. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good-Near Fine/No Jacket. Book.

1706Best.-Nr. 479London Londini: A & J Churchill 1706. First. Contemporary fine Georgian paneled morocco. Very Good. Early 18th Century New Testament and Book of Common Prayer both in Latin: Work 1:1706 Liturgia seu liber precum communium in Ecclesia Anglicana receptus. Epistolæ evangelia & psalmi inseruntur juxta Sebastiani Castellionis translationem: cætera autem omnia Latinitate donavit Thomas Parsell. First edition of this Latin translation of the Book of Common Prayer by Thomas Parsell 1674-1720 who had graduated from Oxford in 1697. Work 2 1708 or 1720 Novum Testamentum Domini nostri Jesu Christi interprete Theodoro Beza Overall Condition: Good to Very Good. Book of Common Prayer complete. New Testament lacking title page. Without front and rear blank. PROVENANCE David Enderton Johnson was a biblical scholar author and an exceptionally prolific high-end book collector. Among rare book dealers his library is famously referred to as the 'Johnson cache' or the 'David Enderton Johnson library'. He was known for tracking down and acquiring highly sought-after valuable volumes-particularly pre-publication advanced review copies bound proofs and first editions personally signed by major mid-century literary figures like Vladimir Nabokov and C.S. Lewis. As an author and scholar he published works focused on theology and scriptural literacy most notably: Opening the New Testament: A Way to Read the Bible in Logical and Historical Order and Uppsala to Nairobi 1968-1975: Report of the Central Committee to the Fifth Assembly of the World Council of Churches. ABOUT THE BOOK Bound in contemporary Queen Anne black paneled fine morocco. Boards with gilt paneling fillets and corner fleurons and rosettes. Spine with five raised bands separating compartments richly tooled and ruled in gilt. All edges gilt. Gilt inner dentelles and marbled endpapers. Two duodecimo works 6.25 in x 3.75 in.0 bound in the following order: 1 Liturgy or the book of common prayers received in the Anglican Church.

Collated and complete: 24 180 148 pp. First Latin edition translated by Thomas Parsell. 2 The New Testament of Our Lord Jesus Christ translated by Theodore Beza. Published in either 1708 or 1720 by A & Churchill in London. Lacking title page textually complete: 3-347 1 pp. Much research of font type used page collation book format and other info in the English Short Title Catalog WorldCat OCLC and bibliographic sources was used to narrow down the publisher and date of publication. NOTE: It is most likely the 1708 New Testament edition given its proximity in date to the 1706 Book of Common Prayer it is bound with by the same publisher; however the 1720 edition cannot be ruled out without carbon dating or some advanced method as the two editions were nearly identical. ABOUT THEODORE BEZA Theodore Beza 1519 - 1605 was a French Calvinist Protestant theologian reformer and scholar who played an important role in the Protestant Reformation. He was a disciple of John Calvin and lived most of his life in Geneva. Beza succeeded Calvin as the spiritual leader of the Republic of Geneva. He worked on many Greek New Testament editions and his annotations greatly influenced the textual preservation translation and theological understanding of the New Testament. Between 1565 and 1604 he produced several editions in Greek with accompanying Latin translations and detailed annotations. Beza's editions served as primary textual sources for the Geneva Bible and influenced later translations including the 1611 King James Version. His work ensured that the Greek New Testament was both readable and teachable supporting ministers theologians and students across Europe. CONDITION REPORT Good to Very Good.
