Wilmington, DE: Peter Brynberg, 1797. New Edition. Hardcover. Paper darkened. One page torn with no loss; rear blank and endpaper partially present. Very Good.

Hervey, a popular and bombastic Divine, had an influence on William Blake who painted "Epitome of James Hervey's Meditations among the Tombs." Two of the works in this collection--MEDITATIONS AMONGST THE TOMBS and THERON AND ASPASIO--decisively influenced the imagery in Blake's well-known poem "The Tyger."

Boston: Printed for The Commission (by D. B. Updike at The Merrymount Press), 1928 (1930). First Edition. Hardcover. A title notorious for wear and weak hinges, this is a tight, Near Fine copy with light edgewear and minor marks to the spine and front cover. Thick folio (9-3/4" x 13-3/4") in publisher's oxblood pigskin leather stamped in black, top edge gilt; xli, 611 pages. Beautifully printed in black and red on English hand-made rag paper by D. B. Updike in an edition of 500 copies of which only 250 were for sale at the cost of one hundred and fifty dollars in 1930. Updike's magnum opus and one of the most beautifully designed American books of the twentieth century. Printed for the Joint Commission on the Revision and Enrichment of THE BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER and financed by the banker J.P.Morgan, Updike was well-suited to printing the work being a staunch Episcopalian and familiar with the text; it took two years to produce. This copy was presented to the Archbishop of Nova Scotia with a partly…

Description:
Amsterdam: Laporte, 1789. Hardcover. Contents quite clean with a minimum of foxing; occasional tear or crease rarely with any effect on an image. Bindings with edgewear, spines deteriorated; boards detached on the third volume, the front board nearly detached on the first. Bindings quite worn but contents Very Good. Four folio (10" x 16") volumes bound in calf-backed marbled boards of one of the most spectacular illustrated works of the 18th-century. Illustrated with 263 engravings, all but 1 full page and some with more than one image, and including 41 large folding plates. First published in 1723 with 223 copper engravings, this edition is enlarged and appears to be the last published in the 18th century and in folio size. The plates, many double-page, illustrate in great detail scenes of religious ceremonies, views of temples and churches, and religious costumes. This edition is not in Sabin. Bookplates of O'Connell and Adolph Grant on the pastedowns. Perhaps the best known illustrated history…
