The Book of Common Prayer is an Anglican liturgical text that comprises services and prayers for important occasions in life: baptism marriage death illness and childbirth. Books of Common prayer emerged out of the English Reformation as England's break with the Catholic Church inaugurated vernacular worship. Books of common prayers enabled lay people to establish a more direct connection with God.

In-12 (164 x 96 mm), plein veau marbré de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs orné de caissons fleuronnés et cloisonnés, pièce de titre de maroquin bordeaux, filet doré sur les coupes, tranches jaspées, xxiv, 423 p. Première édition française de 'Distinction of Ranks in Society' (1771), traduit par J.-B. Suard, le principal ouvrage de John Millar, qui ne sera réédité qu'une seule fois en français (en 1778). Une partie du tirage de la même édition porte le titre de 'Observations sur la distinction des rangs de la société'. Membre de l'école écossaise, élève puis protégé d’Adam Smith, Millar devint avocat et son enseignement à Glasgow remporta un succès considérable. L’ouvrage, qui défend la thèse que les lois fondamentales qui régissent les sociétés reposent sur des facteurs économiques et non politiques, est considéré de ce fait comme l’un des textes précurseurs du matérialisme historique prémarxiste. D'importantes pages plaident pour l'égalité entre les femmes et les hommes, pour l'abolition de l'esclavage, ou la nécessité d'améliorer les conditions de travail des plus défavorisés. Millar se prononce également en faveur de l'indépendance américaine et d'une large démocratisation du système politique français. Selon Jean Mondot ('Diderot-Raynal et les Lumières écossaises', In "Lumières", 2004, n°3, p. 57), "ce livre constitue la référence principale d'après laquelle Diderot-Raynal composeront leur histoire de l'esclavage". (Conlon, 'Siècle des Lumières', 73:1070. France littéraire, VI, 131. I.E.S.S., X, 348-349). Coins légèrement émoussés. Bel exemplaire, très frais, grand de marges, bien relié à l'époque, imprimé en partie sur papier bleuté.

1813Two volumes. pp. [2], xxvi, 486; xi, 731, [1]. Large 4to. 250 mm. x 300 mm. Modern plain full navy blue leather bindings. Hardbound. Very good+. A wonderful work of history, folklore, nostalgia, and sociology by the Newcastle antiquary, John Brand (1744-1806). The first volume deals with holidays and customs associated with them, such as: New Years Eve; Valentine's Day; customs surrounding many long lost feast days; Easter; pagan mid-Summer rites and dances; Allhallow Even; Yule and Christmastide; Harvests; Etc. The second volume deals with customs and ceremonies relating to life events and common folklore, such as: marriage; death; communion; sailors going tp sea; fairs; fairies; devils and witchcraft; omens; charms; divination; Etc. There are also over 30 pages describing games and sports, including: Archery; Boxing; Foot-Ball; Goff or Golf; Nine Pins; Races; the Ring; Wrestling; etc. & etc. First issued as a small octavo in 1777, Brand continued collecting materials for a revised edition for the rest of his life. He acquired a large amount of additional information from the statistical enquiries in Scotland instigated by Sir John Sinclair. A second edition was planned in 1795, but Brand was apparently overwhelmed by the task of arranging systematically so much material. He did not live to complete the project. Instead the collections were purchased after his death by a bookseller for L600 and were incorporated into this new edition by Sir Henry Ellis (1777-1869). It still stands as an entertaining and essential starting point for studies of English folklore and customs. **PRICE JUST REDUCED! W150
