Octavo modern half olive cloth black morocco spine labels. $1200.First edition of the collected 18th-century letters between John Newton a slaveship master and born-again Christian to Alexander Clunie a fellow slaveship captain and Newton's Christian mentor.The Rev. John Newton was born into a sailing family. His father was a shipmaster in the Mediterranean. While Newton's mother raised him as a Christian she died when he was just six years old. Newton spent a few years in boarding school before joining his father at sea. While Newton was slated to become a slave master at a Jamaican sugar plantation he was forced into naval service. After attempting to desert and surviving a brutal court marshal Newton went to work in the slave trade.

Following a series of strokes in 1854 that forced him to leave the seafaring life Newton reconsidered his association with slavery. He acknowledged the damage that it wreaked on a person's humanity and began to view it as fundamentally opposed to Christian beliefs. In the final years of his life he became an ardent abolitionist.

1738réf. 103385Amsterdam, Étienne Ledet & compagnie, 1738, in-8, [4]-XII-[2]-410-[6] pp.8 pl, Veau marbré havane, filet à froid en encadrement sur les plats, dos à nerfs orné de caissons dorés, tranches rouges, Édition originale de ce traité. Il est illustré de 8 planches hors-texte (dont un tableau des couleurs et des tons de la musique) et de nombreuses vignettes dans le texte ainsi que de jolis bandeaux et culs-de-lampe. Dans ses Élémens dédiés à la Marquise du Châtelet, qui partage avec Voltaire la gloire d'avoir introduit, en France, les idées scientifiques et philosophiques de Newton et à qui l'on doit la première édition française des Principia, Voltaire présente Newton comme le découvreur du vrai système du monde et le destructeur des erreurs du cartésianisme. Il s'engage personnellement pour la propagation de newtonisme, dont il fit la découverte pendant son exil en Angleterre entre 1725-1728 : pour Voltaire, l'empirisme de Newton, sa méthode expérimentale et son refus de tout dogme symbolise la victoire des Lumières sur la métaphysique chrétienne (Voir Norman). Complet du chapitre additionnel Du flux et reflux, l'Avertissement des libraires et des Éclaircissemens nécéssaires donnés par l'auteur pour servir de préface. Déchirure avec atteinte au f. R2 (sans dommage pour la lecture), petits manques et épidermures, restaurations à la reliure, dos gauchi, sans le portrait de Voltaire. Bel état intérieur.

1867réf. 5032England 1867. Full sheep embossed in blind with gilt to front board measuring 200 x 160mm and comprised of 155 manuscript pages. A gift inscription to the front pastedown reads "Frances Phoebe Newton A Present from her Mother Mrs. A. Morley. July 31st 1841." On the first page Phoebe has created a formal title page: "Phoebe Newton's Album. July 31st 1841." A dense and research-rich piece in which a young woman documents her reading from a variety of sources including collections of poetry popular magazines and circulars church sermons and oral stories within her community. Potential projects include but are not limited to Victorian reading practices women's reading the intersection of popular and evangelical literatures genealogy and paleaography. Within her commonplace book Phoebe gravitates toward poetry and short anecdotes in which the narrating voice calmly uses rhetoric and logic to undermine non-believers or convert doubters. Her faith is the underlying basis for each selection -- even when celebrating a royal marriage or waxing on Queen Victoria's leadership. Early selections such as Doctor Watts and Collins the Freethinker focus on how Christians unshaken in their faith can lead by calm example responding to criticism or even outright scorn by gesturing to the value of their interior relationship to God rather than to any external possessions. Doctor Watts for example responds to a coffeehouse stranger's "contempt at his diminutive appearance" with a short verse concluding "I must be measured by my soul -- The mind's the standard of the man." Similarly Collins the Freethinker "once met a plain countryman going to church" and attempted to confound him by asking about God's size. The countryman's participation in the dialogue -- and his embrace of contradiction -- impress and convert the Freethinker. "He is so great that the heaven of heaven cannot contain Him; and so little that He can dwell in my heart." In this sense Phoebe reveals in addition to her evangelical beliefs an attraction to literary realism. Rather than gravitating to soaring sentimentalism and romance the works gathered here often rely on dialogue and daily settings presenting a realistic world with idealized social outcomes. Phoebe's selections come from a variety of sources which speaks to the array of material she had contact with. Some uncredited pieces appear to be stories from sermons or overheard among family. Many include Victorian writers such as Cowper and Toplady. Still others come from popular regional magazines such as the Norfolk Chronicle and the Gospel Standard. More work could be done to identify where she and her family resided and what schooling she had access to. Additional work could be done on at least one other hand in the book several times signed John Newton and potentially her husband given that her mother Mrs. Morley gifts her the book under the name Newton. unknown books

White Women Helmut Newton's legendary first work appeared more than twenty years ago. With its superior mixture of aesthetics technical perfection and bourgeois decadence it has lost nothing of its potency and attractiveness. Newton's work encompasses a wealth of themes also embodying facets of the mass-media world of glamour masquerade and show. Using subtle yet striking images--like those of Paloma Picasso Veruschka Elsa Peretti Karl Lagerfeld David Hockney and Charlotte Rampling--Newton embraces the delicate natural beauty of the naked female body.
