Foxe, John Ecclesiasticall History, conteyning the Actes and Monumentes of Martyrs...Printed by John Daye, dwelling ouer Aldgate, 1576. 4to (2 vols bound as one). Full reverse calf, boards with broad blind roll-tooled borders, spine decorated in blind, all edges red; pp. 14-1306 (lacking title and 1-13), 1315-1332, 1337-1774, 1777-1976, 1981-1984, 1987-8, 1991-2, 1997-2000, 2003-2010, 2012-2020 (5V.iv loose but present, lacking rest of Index); floriated initials, woodcut plate, later mounted, title-page for Vol. II, lacking title for Vol. I., numerous woodcuts to text throughout. Although The Acts and Monuments of Foxe has been a critical text in shaping Protestant identity, the idea of it as a single text - the much later coined (and frequently abridged) ''Book of Martyrs'' - misses the complexity of its publication history. None of the four editions produced during Foxe's lifetime (of which this was the third) was the same as any other. Foxe continually adapted his work to answer the criticisms of his Catholic opponents. It is important to remember that Foxe produced his first pre-Acts martyrologies amongst the Marian persecutions. What had been an academic exercise in martyrology suddenly and violently became a part of his lived experience. Astoundingly for the day - and given his intense opposition to Catholicism - Foxe did not simply oppose Catholic executions, but utterly opposed the death penalty for any religious dissent. His book was not merely an anti-Catholic tract, it fundamentally opposed the concept of religiously inspired killing. It was perhaps inevitable that his first two treatises (mostly focusing on the Lollards) would form the basis of a larger text, tearing into the recent persecutions and aiming to show that the Catholic church was a conspiracy to destroy English national identity along with its religion. The book - backed by worthies like Sir William Cecil and Foxe's former pupil, the Duke of Norfolk - thus became part of the new Elizabethan paradigm: that the Church of England was a continuation of the true Church of Christ not a modern innovation. It is telling to note Foxe's close, if uneasy, links to Matthew Parker (one of the architects of the Thirty-Nine Articles) and critically his library, which led to the Archbishop being presented with a copy of the work. Foxe published the first version of his ecclesiastical history in 1563, drawing on documents, registers, letters, and other primary sources to support his thesis. He might more properly be described as a compiler, rather than an author, were it not that his voice comes through so powerfully in the contextualisation and presentation of others' information through the form of the text (especially its use of typography). The book was not merely successful, it fostered strong emotional reactions on both sides of the debate and the revision work began almost immediately. The second edition, the first major revision, was published in 1570. This was no mere reprint. Foxe significantly enlarged the scope of the first edition, taking the history back to the 11th century. He also responded personally to the Catholic criticisms, including newly discovered information and sources. This copy was part of the third edition (less heavily revised than the 1570 edition) which was printed on cheaper paper to attempt to meet rising demand for a cheap edition - hence the expected toning. Foxe would produce one final revision of the book in 1583, resisting calls for abridgement. He died in 1587, plans for another revision already underway. The book of deaths had become his life. This edition was surveyed by the British Academy for their effort to reproduce the best and most complete text from the various editions produced during Foxe's lifetime (this number F76028). Professor David Loades wrote (in the Jan-July 2000 British Academy Review) that ''none of the surviving original copies of the sixteenth century editions [are] full and perfect. All those traced and inspected have defects - pages missing or severely damaged, illustrations removed, and so on.'' (p.25). At the point when the Academy surveyed this copy, they had traced 30 copies, of which 15 were in the UK - this one the only private library copy. This copy is thus a scarce survival - strange given the immense popularity of the work - and a rare chance to own a typographically fascinating, early edition of an ideological battleground in the formation of English national identity. Binding rubbed and scuffed but still tight, edges closely shaved with some loss to marginalia, some marking, staining, creasing etc throughout, some pages toned, occasional marginal loss nevertheless a very good copy of a scarce work.

Ford, Simon Hesychia Christianou, or, A Christian's Acquiescence in all the Products of Divine Providence: opened in a sermon, preached at Cottesbrook in Northampton-Shire, April the 16, 1664, at the interment of the Right Honourable, and eminently pious lady, the Lady Elizabeth Langham, wife to Sir James Langham Kt.. London : printed by R.D. for John Baker at the Peacock in St. Paul's Church-Yard, 1665. 8vo, full contemporary calf; engraved armorial frontis. Perhaps mostly notable today as the first publication of Bathsua Makin's elegy upon Lady Langham. Makin, known as the most learned woman in England, served as tutor to Lady Langham, as well as to the children of Charles I. She has been described as a proto-feminist but although she was staunchly supportive of educational equality for women, she did not similarly seek political equality. However the efforts of educational campaigners legitimised later political ones.Binding showing signs of age, small 1807 owner's ink inscription to ffep, small loss to bottom corner title, small marginal loss to foot of P1, a little foxing and spotting internally but a bright copy of a rare work.

[Wedderburn (Alexander), first Earl of Rosslyn] The Argument of Alexander Wedderburn, Esq; His Majesty's Solicitor General, in the Cause of Lord Pomfret against Smith; which was tried at the bar of the Court of King's-Bench, Westminster... November 1772, by a Special Jury of the County of York...1773, [York?], privately printed, 4to; vi including title and Advertisement plus pp. 49, in later three-quarter morocco over marbled boards, t.e.g. Boards and joints a little rubbed, upper hinge a little tender, light scattered marginal foxing to text. Self-promotion for Wedderburn (seemingly at the expense of the defendant Smith), posing as champion of the individual against powerful interests. Wedderburn became Lord Chancellor in 1793. The case, concerning disputed ownership claims to a lead mine in Swaledale by George Fermor, Earl of Pomfret, was tried first at York, in 1770. A rare tract
De Diemerbroeck (Isbrand) and Salmon (William) trans. The Anatomy of Human Bodies. London, printed for Edward Brewster, 1689. 4to, sometime rebound in full leather, retaining elements of the original binding; 16 striking copper-engraved plates after drawings of medical dissections (some with varying loss or repair), occasional marginalia. First English translation (preceeded by the Dutch first edition of 1672 (in Latin).The translation was by William Salmon, a noted 17th century English medical historian. Isbrandus De [van] Diemerbroeck was a respected Dutch physician who worked in Nijmegen during the Black Death epidemic. His experience with, and knowledge of, such diseases can be seen in the carefully recorded case histories which make up one section of the book. The majority though is a highly-detailed anatomical study, most interesting today as a historical record of 17th century medical knowledge. The book is part of a theological natural history, seeking after the seat of ''the most Noble Functions of the Soul''. It can be hard in an era of scientific enquiry and advanced medical studies to understand the twin constraints of religious objection and Ancient worship which so hampered the early study of anatomy. Whilst Vesalius' pioneering work was over one hundred years behind De Diemerbroeck, the direct study of the human body remained controversial and difficult. His introduction to this important work argues vehemently in favour of such study, appealing to authority and precedent to overcome Galenic objection and pre-empting the Church by equating anatomical work to a witness of the ''skill and workmanship of the Divine hand in building a Tabernacle for the Soul of Man.'' This is not a theological treatise however. The author's stated purpose is the improvement of medicine. The preface compares the need for anatomy to the architect who ''must know all the Parts of the House'' if they are to repair one which is ''decay'd''. He argues further that you cannot treat disease (his own especial study) without knowing ''what Part a Disease does primarily affect''. He also notes the important role medicine plays elsewhere in society, reminding the reader that ''only men skill'd in Anatomy can give true Judgement upon a Wound'' - of critical importance in criminal proceedings. This is not a recitation of learned authority; this is a deliberate positioning of personal study of anatomy at the heart of best medical practice. Plates 2, 7, 8, 9, 14, 15 and 16 torn with varying loss, generally small, 3, 12, and 13 torn but repaired, some foxing, staining etc internally but a very good copy of a rare work.

Second edition enlarged. A rare collection of historical oddities by English printer and bookseller Nathaniel Crouch - whose pseudonym alluded to Robert or Richard Burton. According to a contemporary, he ''melted down the best of our English Histories into Twelve-Penny Books'' and became a ''Celebrated Author'', popularising history for the ''middling sort''. [Gerbier, Sir Balthazar]. The None-Such Charles His Character...Printed by RI, and are to be sold by John Collins, in Little Brittaine, 1651. 8vo, quarter leather over boards, sometime rebacked; engraved frontis., title, [4 (To the Reader)], 196, [18 (Contents)].

First UK ed.Slight shelf wear to jacket edges, with a little creasing to head and foot of spine, very slight loss to upper panel of dj where it meets the head, flaps a little creased with toning at flap edges, foxing to flaps and endpapers, slight foxing to edges, more so on fore edges, occasionally becoming marginal internally, a little foxing to upper edges of prelims and first few pages but a very good copy, generally clean internally, of a rare book.
Gill, Eric (illus) The Four Gospels of the Lord Jesus Christ. Folio Society, 2007. Folio (2 vols). Gospels facsimile in full black morocco, upper board blocked in gilt after Gill's design for the living creatures of the Evangelists in a blind-blocked frame, spine lettered directly in gilt, all edges gilt, black marker; Commentary in buckram-backed boards with paper title label on upper board; both in black clamshell box. Limited edition numbered 2740/2750. A deluxe reprint of the legendary Golden Cockerel edition of 1931. The Gospels are widely considered one of the most beautiful books printed in the twentieth century, rivalling the Kelmscott Chaucer and the Doves Bible. They were perhaps the Press' finest production - as well as one of the most successful private press books of the century. One of the contributing factors to the beauty of the book is the holistic design. Robert Gibbings, owner of the Press, would write in the Book Collector (Summer 1953) that he ''would send [Gill] the proofs and on these he would build his designs, fitting his figures to the spaces determined by the type and allowing his fancy to spread into any quarter that offered itself''. That Gill designed images, typeface and layout ensured a rarely-equalled unity of conception. The Commentary comprises John Dreyfus' essay on 'Eric Gill and the Golden Cockerel Type' and Robert Gibbings' 'Memories of Eric Gill' reproduced from The Book Collector. An excellent facsimile of a rare masterpiece.
Miniature Book The Mite. E.A. Robinson, 1891. Org. cloth, upper board decorated in gilt; pp. 26; 6 full page illus (seemingly lacking pp. 15-16). 2nd ed. (according to title-page) in the same year as the first. The Mite was produced as the smallest book in the world printed from moveable type. It held this distinction until 1897, when Galileo a Madama Cristina de Lorena was published by the Salmin Brothers in Padua. It remains an impressive, and rare, example of the art of typography and the 19th century drive to push the boundaries of what was possible with technology.Boards faded and dented, a little dusty internally, lacking pp. 15-16, but still a delightful example from the history of miniature books.

A very rare poetry title by Nicholas Moore with lithographs and drawings by Lucian Freud. This is the first book ever illustrated by Lucian Freud.Spine faded, lower board a touch dusty, very slight marking to publication page but a very good, internally clean, copy.
