Europe. Hadol (Paul), Nouvelle Carte D' Europe Dressée pour 1870, circa 1870, engraved allegorical map with contemporary hand-colouring, descriptive French text below the image, old folds, several marginal closed tears crudely repaired on the verso, some tape staining to the recto but not affecting the image, 335 x 445 mm, together with Excelsior (publication). La Révolution Chinoise Aggrave le Péril Jaune, 3rd November 1911, black and white printed allegorical map of Europe being the frontispiece of the Excelsior Magazine, 510 x 340 mm, with a music sheet cover of 'The Great Globe. Quadrilles by Stephen Glover', a colour printed circular lithographic map of the Eastern hemisphere, some dust soiling, slight staining, old music publisher's blind stamp to the upper left corner, 345 x 240 mm, plus a pen and watercolour manuscript map on card of ancient Troy, 185 x 140 mmQty: (4)Footnote: The first described item is a satirical and political map of Europe showing the various countries personified in caricature and alludes to the tensions that finally erupted as the Franco-Prussian War in July 1870. This appears to be a variant edition of Hadol's map - possibly a plagiarisation - as there are some slight alterations to the title cartouche and it lacks Hadol's name. The ensuing conflict resulted in France being humiliated, creating a powerful and unified Germany which laid the foundations of both the World Wars in the 20th century. There are later examples of this map with German, English and Dutch text. The second item is an unusual variation on the 'Octopus map' which shows Russia as an aggressive cephalopod whose tentacles reach across Europe. In this case, the danger is shown to be China and Japan and the 'tentacles' are replaced with the overgrown fingernails of Fu Manchu who reaches from over the horizon to engulf Europe.

Bible [English]. The Bible, that is, the Holy Scriptures conteined in the Olde and Newe Testament, Translated according to the Ebrew and Greeke, and conferred with the best Translations in divers Languages..., Imprinted at London [i.e. Amsterdam]: by the Deputies of Christopher Barker, 1599 [i.e. circa 1599-1640], general title present with woodcut border (imprint dated 1599, trimmed to border edge and with some loss, marked and lined to verso), New Testament title within decorative woodcut border (short closed tear to upper left corner, old piece of paper adhered to verso obscuring inscription beneath), few woodcut illustrations and decorative initials, double-column roman type, bound with Apocrypha, colophon at end of Tables dated 1599, lower outer corner of 3B6 torn away, bound with an incomplete Book of Psalms at rear, some marginal fraying, dust-soiling, browning and some marks throughout volume, lacking free endpapers, near contemporary blind panelled sheep, boards detached, spine torn with some loss at head & foot, rubbed and worn, 4to (20.3 x 17 cm)Qty: (1)Footnote: Herbert 251; Darlow & Moule 190; STC 2176.

These Bibles were printed probably in Amsterdam and Dort and adopted by Barker, for the use of English Puritans in the Low Countries.

The nominal date, 1599, is probably untrue in almost every case.

Stephen Gardiner (1483-1555) was the Bishop of Winchester, and Mary Tudor's chancellor during the persecution of the Protestants, who died before Cranmer was executed on 21st March 1556. Cranmer's Aunswere, part of a controversy between Cranmer and Gardiner on the sacrament of communion, was first published by Wolfe in 1551. A reply to "An explication and assertion of the true catholique fayth, touchyng the moost blessed sacrament of the aulter" by Stephen Gardiner and "A confutation of a certen booke, called a defence of the true, and catholike doctrine of the sacrament, &c. sette fourth of late in the name of Thomas Archebysshoppe of Canterburye" by Richard Smith. The text includes a reprint of Gardiner's work and portions of Cranmer's "A defence of the true and catholike doctrine of the sacrament of the body and bloud of our saviour Christ". The woodcuts on the two plates (not present in this copy) were from blocks used in Foxe's "Book of martyrs", and Cranmer's life is in part compiled from the same. The plates were sometimes bound folded. This edition (or parts of it, at least) were printed on the sheets of an earlier work printed by Daye, John Foxe's "Pandectae" (1572; ESTC S113167), a largely-blank commonplace-book ("The Latin headlines in rules appearing upside down at the foot of several versos in some copies (as in this copy) indicate unused sheets of [STC] 11239 were employed in the printing"--STC).
