A member of the Bibliographical Society, he formed one of the largest collections of English Bibles in England. During the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II in 1953, a selection of the rarest and most important early English Bibles from Ralph Ford’s collection went on display in a touring exhibition across England, including the Chapter House at Westminster Abbey.ESTC R184924; Wing T525; Adomeit B12; Bondy pp.14-15. A Thumb Bible in verse, which Wing records as 32mo. There were two 1693 editions, the first (as here) is that printed by F. Collins in London for T. Ilive, and the second edition, 'with amendments', of the same size, bears only the T. Ilive imprint. Many more editions followed during the next century and the latest, reprinting the 1693 edition, were published by Longman in London in 1850. The great popularity of these texts is perhaps explained by the fact that this Thames waterman turned poet had, as Harvey's Oxford Companion to English Literature remarks, "a marked talent for expressing himself in rollicking verse and prose" (Bondy).

BALVENIE 10 YEAR OLD FOUNDER'S RESERVE SPEYSIDE SINGLE MALT 40% ABV / 70clThe Balvenie Founder’s Reserve is a classic 10 year old single malt Scotch whisky which was created by The Balvenie Malt Master, David Stewart, from a marriage of The Balvenie single malt matured in bourbon casks with that matured in sherry casks, or butts. On the nose, The Balvenie Founder’s Reserve is rich and complex with honey and orange notes and just a hint of peat. Its taste is full-bodied honeyed sweetness, with light spicy notes and a hint of sherry fruitiness. Its finish is long with a pleasant lingering richness.
