STIERNMAN (Anders Anton von)
Anonymorum centuria prima ex scriptoribus gentis Suigothicae.
|
8vo (150 x 87mm.) [8], 53, [3]pp., modern half calf over marbled boards, red edgesStockholm: J.L. Horrn, 1724 Stiernman (1695-1765) also wrote Aboa literata which has been republished in modern times, and various other works of Swedish bibliography. This work, which deals with anonymous works runs from the Middle Ages to 1723, and includes works by or relating to St. Brigit of Sweden, Swedenborg and others.Item no. 36 is of some interest in that it describes and identifies a Swedish Americanum of 1696 (Church 760), a translation of Luther's Kleiner Catechismus into the language of the Virginian Indians together with a vocabulary and linguistic notes.This is by Johann Campanius Holm (1601-1683), who had actually served as a chaplain at Fort Christina (Wilmington, Delaware) in the 1640s and who translated the Lutheran catechism which was published posthumously by Thomas Campanius Holm his grandson(c. 1670-1702), and Stiernman gives details of the publication and who defrayed the costs (pp.26-27). Modern editions of the book were published by Collijn in 1937 and in New York in 1938 and there have been recent editions of the vocabularies.See H.Sallander Om Anders Anton von Stiernman som bibliografisk författare, Stockholm,1945, which we have not seen; KVK locates a couple of copies in Germany, and there is a copy at the Royal Library, Stockholm.. A 'Centuria secunda' was published in 1726 (copies of both in BL).From the Macclesfield Library (privately purchased) with facsimile bookplate

Hawkins, William.
A TREATISE OF THE PLEAS OF THE CROWN: Or a System of the Principal Matters relating to the Subject, digested under their proper Heads.

E. and R. Nutt and R. Gosling. -6. 1724 - 2nd Ed. Corrected with the Addition of some References. 2 vols. in 1. Folio. T.p. + ded. [ii] + Preface [ii] + An Account of the Authors . [ii] + An Analysis of the First Book . [vi] + 266pp. + Index ([Yyy2]-Kkkk) + T.p. + ded. [ii] An Analysis [iii] + Publ. advert. [i] + 464pp. + Index (C5c-[X5x]). Some light browning, contemporary annotations, nicely rebound in modern speckled calf, gilt rule edged raised bands with gilt lettered title label to spine. EST CT126275. William Hawkins (1681/2?1750), serjeant-at-law. ?. His career as a legal writer began as early as 1711 with an abridgement of Coke upon Littleton, which reached a fourth edition in 1822. He is best known in the legal profession for his Pleas of the Crown (1716?21), a copy of which he presented to Oriel. This treatise may indeed have been his principal qualification for the coif. It was the first substantial exposition of English criminal law to be printed since that by Sir Edward Coke (1552?1634), and it represented a distinct advance in terms of analysis and detail. The masterpiece by Sir Matthew Hale (1609?1676), the Historia placitorum coronae, was not published until 1736, and even then it did not supplant Hawkins, being an earlier composition. In the third edition of Hawkins, in 1739, references to Hale were inserted by G. L. Scott. Posthumous editions appeared in 1762, 1771 (by Thomas Leach), 1787, 1795, and 1824 (by John Curwood), and a summary was published in 1728 (second edition 1770) .?

ANSTIS, John
Register of the Most Noble Order of the Garter
|
1724. FIRST EDITION. ANSTIS, John. The Register of the Most Noble Order of the Garter, From its Cover in Black Velvet; Usually Called the Black Book!. London: John Barber, 1724. Two volumes. Folio, contemporary full brown calf rebacked, black morocco spine labels, marbled endpapers. $2200. Scarce first edition of this record of the most honored of chivalric orders, illustrated with numerous copper-engravings including a frontispiece in each volume; intricate vignettes, tailpieces and historiated initials throughout; twelve plates, including nine full-page depictions of heraldry, in Volume II; and two large, folding scenes of court life in Volume I. Founded by Edward III in 1348, the Order of the Garter is "considered the highest British honor. Legend holds that it was created after an incident in which Edward was dancing with the Countess of Salisbury, when one of her garters dropped to the floor. As bystanders snickered, Edward gallantly picked up the garter and put it on his own leg, admonishing the courtiers in French with what is now the order's motto, 'Honi soit qui mal y pense' ('Shame to him who thinks evil of it')" (Britannica). These volumes, illustrated with numerous copper-engravings including nine full-page armorial plates and two folding scenes of court life, present the history of the Order, documented with extensive membership lists, genealogies and descriptions of ceremony and ritual. A heraldic writer and Garter king of arms, Anstis was in 1715 "suspected of intriguing in the cause of the Pretender, and with other gentlemen was thrown into prison! While Anstis was in prison the office of Garter became vacant by the death of Sir Henry St. George. Sir John Vanbrugh, Clarencieux king-at-arms, was appointed to the vacancy, Anstis' claims being set aside. But Anstis would not submit to this arrangement. He cleared himself of the charge of treasonable practices, and then proceeded to prosecute his claims with the utmost vigor! After much delay the controversy was at last terminated! in favor of Anstis! Shortly before the death of George I, [Anstis] received a patent under the great seal securing the office to himself and his eldest son and the survivor of them! Anstis was a man of the greatest learning and industry! Pope alludes to Anstis in the Imitations of Horace: 'A man of wealth is dubbed a man of worth, Venus shall give him form, and Anstis birth'; and Prior mentions him in an epigram: 'But coronets we owe to crowns, and favor to a court's affection. By nature we are Adam's sons, and sons of Anstis by election'" (DNB). Lowndes, 50. Allibone, 65. Brunet I:306n. Graesse I:41. Occasional small ink marginalia. Scattered light foxing. Mild age-wear, light discoloration to contemporary calf. A near-fine copy. Scarce.

Ce texte alterne serieux, verve et humour, se moque de la societe de son temps mais possede une veritable portee philosophique, utilise quelques elements scientifiques au milieu d'une fantaisie et d'une imagination debridee.Si l'ouvrage fut inclus dans la fameuse collection des Voyages imaginaires publiee en 1787, il n'en demeure pas moins que cette edition originale est tres rare.

Ramsay
(Allan) The Ever Green, being a Collection of Scots Poems, Wrote by the Ingenious before 1600.
|
Edinburgh, Printed by Mr. Thomas Ruddiman..., 1724 first edition, 2 Vols., sm.8vo., orig. sprinkledcalf, spines ornamented in gilt within raised bands, red morocco labels sympathetically renewed Alston ix/88; Burns Martin 75; ECSB 158; Rothschild 1729. From the library of William Tytler (1711-1792), lawyer, historian, one of the Edinburgh literati, and editor of The Poetical Remains of James the First, King of Scotland, with his signature on the volume i front free endpaper and his marginal notes in thirteen places. These include i. an extensive note on the identity of Macduncan in “The Battle of Harlaw;” ii. a note identifying Ramsay as the author of the concluding stanzas to Dunbar’s “Tydings frae the Session;” iii. notes that “The Justing and Debate up at the Doun” is according to Lord Hailes The Jousting...at the Drum, “that is Lord Somervilles house above Dalkeith;” iv. ascribe authorship to several poems, some again with reference to Lord Hailes. Tytler would have known Ramsay well, at least by sight: the bookseller-poet did not die until 1758. He was certainly on close and friendly terms with the younger Allan Ramsay, the painter and pamphleteer. The Ever Green contains poems by Sempill, Henryson, Dunbar, James I, and others; chiefly derived from the Bannatyne manuscript and many of them published here for the first time. One political satire, "The Vision," though disguised as an earlier work, is Ramsay's own, and is his best sustained lyric. In publishing this work and The Tea-Table Miscellany, Ramsay was the main agent in the revival of vernacular poetry which was to influence the course of poetry from Ramsay himself through Fergusson and Burns.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd - Pepys's library has been, as he directed, preserved intact at his old Cambridge college since 1724. Between 1978 and 1994 a complete catalogue was published for the first time. The present title, essential to all users of the firs t volume in that series, N.A. Smith's Printed Books vastly enhances the range of information available. The short-title arrangement of Printed Books is replaced by a numerical listing which follows the library's she lf-order; many entries have been extended, and where possible updated with reference to new scholarship; the location of MSS and other material treated elsewhere in the catalogue is also indicated, providing for the first time a p ublished conspectus of the whole library. Extensive indexes have been provided for authors and ancillary contributors, subjects, printers and places of publication, and references which reflect Pepys himself and his bibliophilism. Concordances identify the Pepys books covered by STC, Wing, ESTC and other bibliographies. Dr CHARLES KNIGHTON gained his Ph D from Magdalene College, Cambridge. Condition: Brand new (not pre-owned).

SOLÍS Y RIBADENEYRA, Antonio de.
The history of the conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards. Done into English from the original Spanish of Don Antonio de Solis, secretary and historiographer to his Catholick majesty. By Thomas Townsend.
|
London, T. Woodward, J. Hooke & J. Peele, 1724. - Folio (355 x 235 mm), pp. [xviii], 163, 252, 152, with a portrait-frontispiece of Cortés (after Titian), six plates (one double-page and one folding) and two maps; occasional dust-spotting; contemporary calf; abrasion on front cover, joints cracked but strong. First English edition. Immensely popular, both in Spain and abroad, Solís’s history ‘used the letters of Cortés and the narratives of Díaz del Castillo and López de Gómara, amongst others, but the end result was not the most accurate account of the conquest of Mexico. Solís portrayed the Cortés/Moctezuma struggle with dramatic licence and adopted the viewpoint of the militant anti-Indian school of López de Gómara and Oviedo y Valdés. The resulting English translation was produced in a large folio volume illustrated with elegant engravings.

London 1724. - Thesaurus dramaticus. Containing all the celebrated passages, soliloquies, similes, descriptions, and other poetical beauties in the body of English plays, antient and modern, digested under proper topics; with the names of the plays, and their authors, referr'd to in the margin. London: printed by Sam. Aris, for Thomas Butler, 1724. (2)x, 240; (2)358 pp. + an engraved frontispiece by Vander Gucht in each volume. Two vols., 12mo, contemporary panelled calf (some wear, one front cover detached).First edition. An anthology of poetical passages from about 175 plays; arranged alphabetically by subject, from "absence" to "youth." Shakespeare and Dryden are the dominant figures here, but there are many selections from lesser writers as well, even as unfamiliar as Mrs. Jane Wiseman, whose only play, Antiochus the Great, appeared in 1702. Further editions of this collection were published in 1737, 1756, and 1777, as The Beauties of the Stage; whether or not these reprints were updated we have not determined. Last leaf of Vol. II a bit wrinkled; aside from the loose cover, a very good copy. CBEL II, 355.

CONFUCIUS.
The Morals of Confucius A Chinese Philosopher, Who flourished above Five hundred Years before the Coming of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Being one of the Choicest Pieces of Learning Remaining of that Nation. The Second Edition.
|
London: Printed for F. Fayram..., 1724. Small 8vo, 152 x 93 mms., pp. [xvi], 136, contemporary sheepskin; small portion missing from lower part of last blank leaf, with partial loss of some contemporary annotations, covers detached, spine worn. A later owner has mounted a nameless bookplate (?Howard of Essingham; with motto "virtus mille scuta" above two heraldic lions), on the front paste-down end-paper, covering up contemporary annotations. The 20th century bookplate of the bookseller John Lawson is also present on the front paste-down end-paper. ESTC notes that this work is "translated and abridged from the Latin translation of Prospero Intorcetta, Philippe Couplet, and others, or from an intervening French translation attributed to Louis Cousin or Jean de La Brune." This copy, which is extensively annotated in a contemporary hand, makes a similar comment on the title-page, noting also that it is "Badly translated" and that it is just a selection from Confucius. In his or her account of the Jesuit origins of the work, the annotator traces its Jesuit origins: "The Jesuits seem to have try'd which c'd lye most in extolling the Chinese." The notes in the text are mostly confined to the first 60 pages, but the rear end-papers are covered with notes, and a folded leaf is loosely inserted between the rear free end-paper and the rear paste-down end-paper, with quotations from various contemporary or earlier authors. Loosely inserted in the same hand is a curious note, 95 x 111 mms., with the designation, "The Real Order of the Ranks of Men," beginning with those who practice Divinity in the top rank, followed by (in rank order), Law, Physick, Mathematicks, Trades, Military, and "The Lowest of all, Sports, Operas, Plays, Races, Boxing, Wrestling, Fencing, Bowls, Dice, Tennis, Cricket, Prisoners [just below Cricket], Riding, Dancing," etc. The annotations would seem to derive from a contemporary Sinologist and would be invaluable for assessing perceptions of Confucius by early 18th century scholars. The work was first published in 1691, followed by a second edition in 1706; this second "second edition" is a re-issue of the 1706 edition (printed for T. Horne), with a cancel title-page, ESTC T140229. scholarship sport prose literature scholarship

|
Amsterdam, Pierre de Coup, 1724. - 2 vols, 4to (255 x 195 mm), pp. [vi], xliii, [iii], 518; 519?1001, [39], with a portrait of Grotius; allegorical engraving at head of dedication; titles printed in red and black; some browning; contemporary calf, joints cracking but strong; small stamp of Dr Josef v. Schey on titles and stamped in gilt on front covers, ?Mr. Le Baron de Reischach? (eighteenth-century: this family was active in Austrian government and diplomacy). First edition of one of the most influential translations of Grotius?s De iure belli ac pacis. Barbeyrac, its editor and translator, had already published an edition in the original Latin: ?for many eighteenth-century readers the definitive version of the book had appeared in 1720, when Jean Barbeyrac issued a new edition, followed by a French translation in 1724 with elaborate notes. Barbeyrac was a leading figure in the French Protestant diaspora, the network of scholars whose families had been driven out of France following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes by Louis XIV in 1685. He worked tirelessly to put his own version of modern natural law before the European public, and his editions of Grotius built on the success of a similarly elaborate edition of Samuel Pufendorf?s De iure naturae et gentium in 1706. The notes to these editions keyed their texts into all the relevant discussions of natural law from antiquity down to the 1720s, and the two works together quickly became the equivalent of an encyclopedia of moral and political thought for Enlightenment Europe. The French version of De iure belli ac pacis was reprinted steadily through the middle years of the century, and it found an audience beyond the French-speaking polite world in an English translation of 1738?

LENFANT (Jaques);

A Amsterdam chez Humbert 1724 2 tomes en 1 vol. in-4 de (4)-LIII-366 pp. ; 327-(30) pp., maroquin bleu, dos a nerfs orne de filets dores, double filet dore encadrant les plats, armes au centre, dentelle interieure, tranches dorees (reliure de l'epoque). Bel ouvrage orne de 16 planches, dont une representant les medailles avec les portraits des papes d'Avignon et 15 portraits (la Reine de Prusse, Jacques Lenfant, Charles VI, etc.) Le Concile de Pise (1409), devait regler le conflit entre le pape de Rome et celui d'Avignon, mais en fait, la situation s'aggrava car les prelats deciderent de deposer les deux papes et d'en nommer un troisieme, Alexandre V, alors que les deux autres refuserent de demissionner. Il faudra attendre le concile de Constance pour que la question du Grand Schisme soit reglee. Bel exemplaire relie aux armes de Francois-Louis de Pesme.
