Hardback. Condition: New. Beginning in the early thirteenth century, the burial of a child became an event of dramatic consequence. Child death took on a symbolic power, with great concern expressed over the fate of the body. William F. MacLehose follows the evolution of this social anxiety during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries, an anxiety focused on images of children's vulnerability and susceptibility to external threats. Employing a wide range of sources, including historical chronicles, medical writings, Marian legends, hagiography, and popular theological texts, MacLehose advances four important discussions of childhood that directly link fragility with other sources of cultural anxiety: medical writers who began to articulate an increasingly paradoxical view of women's bodily fluids--milk and menstrual blood--as simultaneously essential and potentially fatal to the survival of the fetus and the newborn; doctrinal debates on the fate of children who died before baptism; accusations against Jews, who were charged with the ritual murder of Christian children; and the so-called Children's Crusade of 1212, which was justified on the basis that corruption was an inevitable part of a child's growth.…

12mo, 4 pp. Bifolium. Text clear and complete. Good, on lightly-aged paper. Discussing 'Mr Sterling's Pamphlet on Banks', which MacLehose has sent him ('a work so difficult to obtain elsewhere'). While not recognising 'the existence of any really national Banking System', he considers Sterling's 'remarks most judicious'. Mentions the Banking Act of 1844, before concluding with a reflection on credit. Bucknall published his 'Catalogue of the Library of the Board of Trade' in 1866.…

FIRST EDITION. 200 x 130 mm. (7 7/8 x 5 1/8"). xix, [1], 560 pp. Handsome contemporary dark teal morocco by MacLehose (stamped-signed on verso of front flyleaf), covers with lacy gilt filigree frame, raised bands, spine compartments similarly gilt, gilt titling, elegantly gilt inner dentelles, ivory watered silk endleaves, marbled flyleaves, all edges gilt (invisible repair to front hinge). With frontispiece portrait of Burns and 14 photographic portraits of the translators. âSpine evenly sunned to dark green, plates a touch browned just at edges, occasional light offsetting, other trivial imperfections, but a nearly fine copy, the binding very attractive and the contents quite clean and fresh. This critical edition of Burns' poetry as rendered in 18 different languages is a wonderful example of works published and bound by the Glasgow firm of James MacLehose (1811-85), who began his career in 1838 as a bookseller, at first in partnership, and then on his own. In 1862 he added a bindery to the enterprise, and in 1881 he brought into the business his two sons, who continued it after his death. The MacLehose workshop produced high quality bindings, and catered in particular to book collectors. Our volume, with lovely gilt tooling and silk endleaves, was no doubt done for a discriminating client. It was a linguistic aptitude that brought our author, the iron merchant William Jacks (1841-1907), his success. He learned languages easily, and used this skill to great effect in international trade. As an MP for the Liberal party, he was an effective voice for both industry and commercial education. He continued to study languages throughout his life, and, according to the preface, prepared the present work to promote little-known translations of Scotland's favorite poet, "with a view to making a comparison of the power of the different languages in expressing those works." We find here poems in German, Swiss German, Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, Dutch, Flemish, Afrikaans, Frisian, Czech, Hungarian, Russian, French, Italian, Scottish Gaelic, Irish Gaelic, Welsh, and Latin. DNB notes that Jacks was in many ways a typical product of Victorian Glasgow, where "[m]any businessmen who came from relatively humble backgrounds encompassed very successful business careers with active public involvement and scholarly pursuits.".…
