Saint Eucherius bishop of Lyon ca. 380 - ca. 449 was a high-born and high-ranking ecclesiastic in the Christian Church of Gaul. He is remembered for his letters advocating extreme self-abnegation. Henry Wace ranked him "except perhaps St. Irenaeus the most distinguished occupant of that see"."St. Eucherius Bishop of Lyons theologian born in the latter half of the fourth century; died about 449. On the death of his wife he withdrew to the monastery of Lérins where his sons Veranius and Salonius lived and soon afterward to the neighbouring island of Lerona now Sainte-Marguerite where he devoted his time to study and mortification. Desirous of joining the anchorites in the deserts of the East he consulted John Cassian who in reply sent him some of his "Collationes" describing the daily lives of the hermits of the Thebaid. It was at this time that Eucherius wrote his beautiful letter "De laude Eremi" to St. Hilary of Arles c. 428. Though imitating the virtues of the Egyptian solitaries he kept in touch with men renowned for learning and piety e.g. Cassian St. Hilary of Arles St. Honoratus later Bishop of Marseilles and Valerian to whom he wrote his "Epistola parænetica de contemptu mundi". The fame of Eucherius was soon so widespread in southeastern Gaul that he was chosen Bishop of Lyons. This was probably in 434; it is certain at least that he attended the First Council of Orange 441 as Metropolitan of Lyons and that he retained this dignity until his death. In addition to the above-mentioned letters Eucherius wrote "Formularium spiritualis intelligentiæ ad Veranium" and "Institutiones ad Salonium" besides many homilies. His works have been published both separately and among the writings of the Fathers." Catholic Encyclopedia. His "Epistola paraenetica ad Valerianum cognatum de contemptu mundi "Epistle of exhortation to his kinsman Valerian On the contempt of the world" is an expression of the despair for the present and future of the world in its last throes shared by many educated men of Late Antiquity with hope for a world to come. Erasmus thought so highly of its Latin style that he edited and published it at Basel in 1520. His commentaries on the work are also included here. His "Liber formularum spiritalis intelligentiae" which is addressed to his son Veranius is a defence of the lawfulness of reading an allegorical sense in Scripture bringing to bear the metaphors in Psalms and such phrases as "the hand of God" The term anagoge in Greek is employed for the application of Scripture to the heavenly Jerusalem to come and there are other examples of what would become classic Medieval hermeneutics.Rodulfus Tortarius also known as Raoul of Tourtier Raoul de La Tourte Radulphus Flaviacensis c.1063 - c.1122 was a French Benedictine monk of the Abbey of Fleury-sur-Loire and a poet writing in Latin. He is known both for his style of writing his biblical commentaries and religious works and his literary and comic tales. His commentary on "Leviticus" is considered important and influential. The first edition of the work is rare. hardcover

Catechism of Education. Part First.

1830ref. 146901York Toronto: Colonial Advocate Press 1830. Very good. vi 46 p. 22 cm. Disbound pamphlet. Housed inside grey cloth solander box. Ink inscription at top of title bottom of title page cut off old tape mark at top. William Lyon Mackenzie 1795 1861 journalist and politician is one Upper Canada's most recognizable historical figures. He represented York County in the Legislative Assembly of Upper Canada and was the first mayor of Toronto. At first aligned only with Reformers he became increasingly more radical eventualy leading the rebels in the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837. Afterwards he fled to the United States but eventually the parliament of the Province of Canada granted him amnesty. After his return he represented the constituency of Haldimand County in the province's legislature from 1851 to 1858. He published his first newspaper the Colonial Advocate in 1824 and continued to publish it weekly into the 1830s. Over its twelve years of publication Mackenzie explicitly advocated constitutional change for a responsible government that worked for the people. The Advocate was used as a voice for constitutional reform educating and inspiring citizens to take action against their government. However besides a newspaper the Colonial Advocate Press published treatises such as this Catechism of Education. Mackenzie believed education should be available to everyone not just the elite so that everyone could benefit. "Political Education consists in a right understanding of the science of Government the business of which is to increase to the utmost the pleasues and diminish to the utmost the pains which men derive from one another ." p. 44. Most of each page consists of Annotations and Illustrations which support the author's views. These points make entertaining reading as they include quotations from sources as diverse as the 1st Annual Report 1829 of the Philadelphia House of Refuge p. 11 Wiliam Penn's letter to his family p. 24 John Locke p. 19 and the Book of Proverbs p. 5.

The Bikeriders.

ref. 121135New York and London The Macmillan Company and Collier-Macmillan Limited 1968. . First edition; 8vo 234 x 158 mm 9¼ x 6¼ in; black & white photographs printed in offset photographs and text by Danny Lyon; small corresponding white paint mark to pp48-9 grey endpapers black cloth-covered boards titles stamped in silver on spine and rear photo-illustrated dust-jacket printed in black blue and orange light impressions to sides minor wear to extremities short tear to lower panel crease to upper flap a very good copy; ix i 94pp. The Bikeriders is a seminal work of American photography. It is the first series in which Lyon immersed himself fully and subjectively into the lives of his subjects in a manner akin to the documentary style of 1960s-era New Journalism by writers such as Joan Didion Hunter S. Thompson and Tom Wolfe. Lyon began photographing dirt track motorcycle races while at the University of Chicago purchasing a bike and attending meetings across the Midwest. Around this time he hitchhiked south to Cairo Illinois where he photographed his first demonstration and met members of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee SNCC the youth wing of the civil rights movement. Lyon continued to work informally for the SNCC while finishing his studies. After graduating in June 1963 he joined the SNCC as its first staff photographer remaining in the role until mid-1964 when fraught internal politics and his own ambitions meant it was time to move on. Lyon returned to Chicago in 1965 and continued photographing motorcycle races and track meetings. Work on The Bikeriders began in earnest when at the invitation of a mechanic repairing his Triumph he attended a meeting of the Chicago Outlaws and joined them as a member. Over the following year Lyon photographed and conducted candid interviews with these gang members. Later in a letter to a prospective publisher he described the Outlaws as 'probably the only thing like cowboys left in America'. By joining their ranks he demonstrated that he wanted to be one of them and could describe their way of life from the inside out.
