Description:
Boston: Printed by John Foster, 1676. FIRST EDITION. 190 x 138 mm. (7 1/2 x 5 3/4"). [36] leaves. New retrospective sheepskin. In a very good cloth clamshell box with spine label. Evans 214: Howe 755; Sabin I, 499-500. ◆Title laid down and with small area of discoloration (where an ownership inscription has been effaced?), text carelessly trimmed by the original binder, leaving leaves cut close at head, with loss of headline and pagination, often grazing the first line of text and impacting its legibility on about 10 pages (but with lower margin quite ample), final opening somewhat yellowed and soiled, light dampstain on a handful of leaves. With obvious defects (and which 17th century American imprint doesn't have them?), but worth having as a rare and important book in the history of printing in America. This is an extremely rare copy of one of the earliest books from the press of the first printer in Boston, issued in just the second year of printing in that city. The text is a sermon preached…

Front pastedown with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection. Wing P-2842B; ESTC R207754. ◆Text lightly washed and pressed (but still crisp), faint foxing to lower edge of title page, otherwise a fine, fresh copy in an unworn binding. Written by an opinionated English cleric, this is an extraordinarily rare pamphlet proposing an unusual fund to support young 17th century scholars. According to DNB, the scheme outlined in the present work was meant "to support the university studies of young men of promise seeking entry into the ministry." The plan "was approved by John Worthington and Anthony Tuckney, and had the support also of John Arrowsmith DD, Ralph Cudworth, William Dillingham DD, and Benjamin Whichcote. The fund raised about £900, and it appears that William Sherlock, afterwards dean of St Paul's,…

A Large Paper Copy printed on special thick paper. Front pastedown with bookplate of Robert S. Pirie. Wing H-2999. ◆Color of leather slightly variable, corners a bit bumped and rubbed, trivial wear elsewhere, but the unrestored binding solid and certainly pleasing, and AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE COPY INTERNALLY, the text as bright, clean, and fresh as one could hope for, with particularly ample margins. Although its text is of some interest to the understanding of English history, this work does not typically command great antiquarian value, but when a copy like the present one--in contemporary red morocco and in remarkably fine condition--turns up, the book is considerably more desirable than usual.

Baker & Ross A8.1. ◆A hint of sunning to spines and to half-inch at head of rear cover of volume I, but AN ESPECIALLY FINE SET--the text clean, fresh, and bright, and the bindings unworn. This is the handsomely bound Robert Hoe copy of a celebrated three-decker centering on a political election during the Reform Bill controversies of the 1830s. It is atypical as the author's only political novel, but typical in that it presents an…
