1895réf. 28192London: Macmillan and Co 1895. First edition. Hardcover. g. Quarto. XIX 3 702 2 IX 1 832pp. Uncut. Original red cloth with gold lettering on spines. Frontispiece in each volume protected with a tissue-guard. First edition of this 2-vol. set biography of Cardinal Manning and his conversion to Catholicism. Manning's belief in Anglicanism was shattered in 1850 when in the so-called Gorham judgement the Privy Council successfully ordered the Church to institute an Evangelical clergyman who denied that the sacrament of baptism had an objective effect of baptismal regeneration. The denial of the objective effect of the sacraments was to Manning and many others a grave heresy contradicting the clear tradition of the Christian Church from the Fathers of the Church on and the fact that a civil secular court had the power to force the Anglican Church to accept such a heretical opinion proved to him that far from being a divinely created institution the Anglican church was merely a man-made creation of the English Parliament.

Purcell began his musical career as a choirboy and remained a church musician throughout his life holding positions at Westminster Abbey as well as the Chapel Royal. Like John Blow he wrote four types of church music: services; anthems for full choir and organ or with short ensemble verse passages often called full with verse anthems; verse anthems for solo voices choir and organ; and 'symphony anthems' for solo voices choir strings and continuo which at first were performed exclusively in the royal presence though several later circulated more widely in versions with organ accompaniment only."

1775réf. 36850London: Published by C. Shepherd 1775. Mezzotint. A fine impression of this early print of Charles Lee the famous General of the American Revolution. Public demand for portraits of Revolutionary heroes was not limited to America but spread to English and European print shops where an inquisitive audience clamored for a glimpse of the key figures of the war. Public interest reached such a frenzy that European printmakers published fictitious portraits before they had accurate likenesses of the sitters and thus many of the first English and European prints of Revolutionary colonials were completely invented. London publishers using the names C. Shepherd Thomas Hart and John Morris issued a series of mezzotints of the officers of the American Revolution none of which were taken from accurate portraits but rather were constructed on a visual formula and bore no resemblance to the individuals they claimed to be representing. Tomlinson's portrait of General Charles Lee is just such a portrait: the image bears little resemblance to contemporary accounts of his appearance and there is no record of him sitting for the artist. This portrait was executed and printed early in the war with the expectation that Lee would play a major role in the conflict an assumption based on his past military record in the French and Indian War. Although born in England Lee committed himself to the Patriot cause and soon became a leader in the Colonial army. He took part in the defense of Charleston and was a commander at the Battle of Monmouth. This is a fascinating early print of this Revolutionary general which not only records the practice of invented portraits but became a compositional model for other portraits of Revolutionary War heroes.

Eliot printed for private circulation. Laid in is a one page Autograph Letter Signed to Buttle from English author and drama critic Charles Purdom in the year of publication whose arch tone sounds like he was in on the joke: "Dear Miss Buttle You were a very good girl to send me a copy of The Sweeniad & not at all an ordinary girl to have made so well deserved an examination of the great Sweeney. It is writing of himself at his best. Similar personal attention to his so-called plays would be much appreciated by me. He is the nothingness of our age great ability with waste of soul. Your book gave me great pleaseure. I hope you are sleeping well. Yours sincerely C.B. Purdom." Also laid in is a similarly arch two page Autograph Letter Signed from "Myra Buttle": in part "How very kind of you to write to me so encouragingly about The Sweeniad!. Perhaps one of these days I may have a bang at the so-called plays too. The Response I am getting is very heartening Bertrand Russell is enthusiastic. Graham Greene surprisingly enough sends me a post-card with 'Bravo' on it." Buttle goes on to reveal the answer to a riddle in the text. The Broadwater Press, Limited hardcover books
