Hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. 1967. cvi, 180pp. Frontispiece facsimile of a Southwell MS. Previous owner's name to top of ffep. Otherwise the book is in excellent condition. The unclipped dust jacket has light wear and light soiling. "Southwell's poems in English were written during his work with the English Mission, from his return to England in July 1586 to his arrest in June 1592. Some are songs in traditional lyric forms adapted to religious themes, and others poems of meditative vision, such as his one long poem, 'Saint Peter's Complaint'. They were very popular with his con-temporaries, both Catholic and Anglican; from 1595, the year of his execution, to 1636, there were eighteen editions. The fifty-two short lyrics are printed here for the first time in the order in which they were arranged for spiritual instruction, and in which they were transcribed by Catholic copyists. This text is based on substantive editions, collated with the surviving MSS., or, for poems not included in early editions, on the Stonyhurst College MS.". …

Add to basketHardcover. Condition: Very Good. Hardcover. With numerous articles and stories by various authors. Most notable are three articles by George Armstrong Custer about his early experiences when stationed in the Indian Territory at the end of the 1860s. This occupation ended in his battle of Washita in 1868 against the Cheyenne Indians. The articles appeared here three years before Custer's death at Little Big Horn in 1876. These and later articles were later issued in book form as My Life on the Plains. Also of particular interest is an article titled "Anti-Slavery Men of the South" by the Virginia journalist and Confederate sympathizer Edward A. Pollard. Pollard's pro-South views changed somewhat after the war and here he writes that there was significant if not conflicted opposition to slavery in the southern states before and during the war. There is also the first printing of "Roman Note-Book" by Henry James. It was included with several other pieces by James on his travels in Italy in Italian Hours in 1909. Bound in three quarter brown leather with raised bands and title and volume labels to the spine. Leather has some rubbing and scraping. Blue and black marbled paper covers. Previous owner signature on ffep. Tender hinges. Interior pages clean and bright. In very good condition 868 pages. PER/061918.…

Contact seller4-star sellerHardcover. Condition: f to vg. First book form edition. Folio (14 1/4 x 9 3/4"). iv (i), 704, xii (iv)pp., 60 plates, including frontispiece. Original three-quarter calf over brown pebbled cloth with gilt lettering and tooling on spine; raised bands. Red edges. Burnt Sienna endpapers. Frontispiece engraving. Modern half calf over marbled paper covered boards, with gold lettering to spine. Raised bands. Modern endpapers and fly leaves. Engraved frontispiece. Originally published in 60 fascicles, William Hurd's brilliant work on comparative religion and obscure religious practices is a translation and abridgment of Bernard Picart's celebrated work "Cérémonies et coutumes religieuses de tous les peuples du monde." The author's goal was to record the religious rituals and beliefs of the world in all their diversity as objectively and authentically as possible. Breaking with all the previous models the work presented religions, even those of the "idolatrous peoples" as even-handedly as possible. It argued for religious toleration by showing the ill effects of fanaticism, wherever it could be found, and by praising those religions, such as Islam, that offered toleration to others. At a time of widespread anti-Semitism, it offered one of the most sympathetic portraits then available of European Jewry. The book is embellished with 60 stricking copper engravings depicting the rites, ceremonies and customs of over 40 world religions, including the ancient and present state of religion amongst the Jews, Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Persians, Chinese, Japanese, Peruvians, Floridans, Native Americans, Africans, Muslims, Greeks, Christians, etc. The plates have been engraved by the finest artists of the period, such as Robert Pollard (Frontispiece), James Walker, Joseph Collyer, and Charles Taylor. Contains list of Books in Divinity, printed for and sold by Alexander Hogg, Index, contents and list of subscribers at rear. ADD KEYWORDS Minor shelf wear. Light water-staining at top foredge of a few pages starting at page 237. The year of publication of the remargined title having been trimmed, it is hard to determine precisely which edition this copy is. However, a note at the end of the list of subscribers stating that "A new edition of the beginning numbers [of the fascicles] being now ready, this day is published, Dr. Hurd's Religious Rites and Ceremonies. Adorned with sixty elegant copper-plates, and neatly bound in calf and lettered" can be an indication that this copy is indeed the first book form edition.

Folio (15 1/4 x 19 7/8 inches; 386 x 504 mm.). Five hand-colored aquatint plates by and after James Pollard. Sizes varying slightly from 14 1/2 x 18 3/4 to 15 1/4 x 19 7/8 inches. All tipped into an album and interleaved. First plate with very small (5/8 inch) repaired tear at upper blank margin, the second plate with some scattered stains, mainly marginal. All but the second plate watermarked "J. Whatman/Turkey Mill". Bound ca. 1940s in quarter brown morocco over light brown buckram boards with dark blue morocco gilt cover label "Coaching: A Series of/Prints by James Pollard/London, 1819-1823", spine lettered in gilt, brown paper end-leaves. Bookplate of Joel Spitz on front paste-down. Housed in a light brown buckram slipcase. Fine. The plates: 1. "Cottagers Hospitality to Travellers/Or the Coach Broke Down" 2.

The first two, 'Cottagers Hospitality to Travellers' and 'Stage Coach Passengers at Breakfast' have the imprint of R. Pollard and Sons and date 27 March 1819; the pair are listed by Siltzer (p. 214) who notes that they were reissued in 1820 and 1824. The first of the two is also in the Mellon collection (Mellon/Snelgrove 35, p. 137). 'Tandem' and 'Four in Hand' are two of the three plates engraved by J. Gleadah and published by J. Watson in 1823 (Siltzer, p.216). James Pollard (1792-1867) was a British painter noted for his mail coach, fox hunting and equine scenes. Born in Baynes Spa Fields (later renamed Exmouth Street) in Islington, he was the son of the painter and publisher, Robert Pollard (1755-1838). Between 1821 and 1839, James Pollard exhibited at the Royal Academy. He exhibited at the British Institution in 1824 and 1844. During his career, he also worked with John Frederick Herring, Sr. on several horse racing paintings in which he painted the backgrounds and spectators while Herring painted the horses. Many of his compositions were published as aquatints, although, unlike his father, he engraved only a few plates himself.…
