Queens' Binder A. The Ladies Calling in Two Parts. By the Author of the Whole Duty of Man, &c. [Allestree, Richard], 3rd Impression, Oxford, 1675, engraved frontispiece, printer's device to title, some minor staining and toning, armorial bookplate with the initials A.E. and rear free endpaper with small diamond-shaped ink stamp to verso, all edges gilt, contemporary black morocco, by Queen's Binder A, extremities lightly rubbed, lower joint with discreet repairs at head and foot, upper joint slightly cracked, spine with gilt decorated raised bands, compartments include central eight-petalled flower tool, covers with gilt border containing elaborate gilt design of drawer-handles, eight-petalled flowers, and dotted-line four-petalled flower tools, with other small tools, gilt roll on edges and turn-ins, 8vo in 4s A pencilled note, by A.E., attributes attributes the binding to Queen's Binder. The four-petalled flower tool springing from a pair of leaves has the elongated top petal characteristic of Queen's Binder A, and the all-over drawer handle design is typical of octavo volumes from this workshop. The binding is noticeably similar to binding 61 in Nixon's English Restoration Bindings, attributed to Queen's Binder A, which uses the same border roll on the covers and has only minor variations in the design. It seems probable from Howard Nixon's research that Queen's Binder A is William Nott, one of the leading craftsmen of the second half of the seventeenth century and described by Samuel Pepys as "the famous bookbinder". Provenance: from the library of Howard M. Nixon. The bookplate indicates that previously the book was part of the Broxbourne Library, a renowned collection of books, manuscripts, and incunabula built by Albert Ehrman. This library became one of the most important private collections of books in this country, much of it now held by the British Library, the Bodleian Library and other national bodies. Ehrman was a diamond merchant, and the recognition of where his money came from can be seen in the numerous diamond shapes incorporated into his bookplate - which is itself diamond-shaped. (1)

William Wilberforce Family. The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ..., Stereotype Edition, printed by George Eyre and Andrew Strahan, for the Naval and Military Bible Society, 1818, ownership signature of Barbara Wilberforce (1799-1821) to front free endpaper and inscribed 'Rydal 1818' beneath, ownership signature of 'Wm Wilberforce' to title and beneath it written 'I began to use it Oct 2d 1830 at Brighton', some pencil marginalia and underscoring plus juvenile jottings to rear endpapers and scribble beneath front endpaper inscription, some light browning and dust-soiling, original calf with blind stamp of Naval and Military Bible Society to upper and lower covers, lacks clasp, heavily rubbed and some wear to extremities, joints weak, 12mo An interesting association item. The William Wilberforce signature and inscription on the title-page could be that of William Wilberforce (1798-1879) the son of the great philanphropist and slavery abolitionist William Wilberforce MP (1759-1833); or William Wilberforce MA (1821-1900), the eldest son of William junior. The handwriting and marginalia suggest a younger hand. At this time in 1830 William junior's venture as a dairy farmer at St John's Wood in London was failing. The first signature, that of Barbara Wilberforce (1799-1821) belongs to William senior's second-born child; and the location is that of Rydal Mount, the English Lake District home of William and Mary Wordsworth. William Wilberforce senior had connections to the Lake District and the Wordsworth family and in 1818 the Wilberforce family descended on the Wordsworths' home for a visit which lasted several months. It seems possible therefore that this book was given by Barbara to her young nephew William. The Bible Society was founded in 1779, but changed its name to Naval and Military Bible Society in 1804 when the British and Foreign Bible Society was founded by a group of people including William Wilberforce and Thomas Charles. The Naval and Military Bible Society changed its name again to the Naval, Military & Air Force Bible Society in 1961. (1)
