Leather. Zustand: Fair. A scarce copy of the revised edition of Taylor's Life of Christ, with Cave's Lives of the Apostles. Including fourteen engraved plates. Jeremy Taylor (15 August 1613 13 August 1667) was a cleric in the Church of England who achieved fame as an author during the Protectorate of Oliver Cromwell. He is somet…imes known as the "Shakespeare of Divines" for his poetic style of expression and was often presented as a model of prose writing. He is remembered in the Church of England's calendar of saints with a Lesser Festival on 13 August. William Cave (30 December 1637 4 August 1713) was an English divine and patristic scholar. The merits of Cave as a writer consist in the thoroughness of his research, the clearness of his style, and, above all, the admirably lucid method of his arrangement. The two works on which his reputation principally rests are the Apostolici; or,The History of the Lives, Acts, Death and Martyrdoms of those who were contemporary with, or immediatelysucceeded the Apostles(1677), andScriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Historia Literaria(1688). In a full tree-calf binding. Externally worn, with some marks and rubbing. Internally, generally firmly bound, although front free-endpapers and frontispiece are working loose. Some closed tears to plates, and significant loss to pages 585/6 and tissue guard. Ink signature to recto of front free-endpaper. Some damp staining to first few pages. Fair. None (illustrator). book.

Leather. Zustand: Good. A well preserved copy of 'The Gentleman's Magazine', being volume LXIII from the year 1793. This publication was the first to use the work 'magazine' for a periodical and was Samuel Johnson's first regular employer. This is part one of this periodical for 1793. It therefore holds some very important conte…mporary accounts of French politics. There are minutes from the proceedings of the National Convention which resulted in Louis XVI of France being Guillotined. There are several sections discussing the political proceedings on the continent This wide-ranging periodical also contains; a theatrical register; topographical descriptions of Honiton; reviews of new publications such as Gibbon's 'History' (vol IV) and the 'Language of Botany'; Gronow Owen's Poetry; Horace's poetry, Meteorological diaries; and helpful articles on gardening turnips. Illustrated, with twenty three plates total. The 'Gentleman's Magazine' was edited by Sylvanus Urban, a pseudonym for Edward Cave. The work was so popular it ran interrupted for almost 200 years. Prior to this periodical there market was lacking a wide-ranging publication with numerous topics discussed. Edward Cave coined the term magazine and his astute business sense lead to the popularity and longstanding nature of this periodical. Bookplate to the front pastedown of Christopher Hogwood. Hogwood was an English conductor, and harpsichordist. He founded the 'Academy of Ancient Music' and was a leading authority on historically informed performance. This work is a useful tool in understanding society in the eighteenth century. It is a lovely example of a late eighteenth century periodical and therefore a fascinating read. In a half calf binding. Externally, rubbed to the spine and boards. Paper covered boards have faded. Small amount of loss to the head of spine. Joints are cracked. Hinges are strained but firm. Small worm holes to the front board. Bookplate to the front pastedown, 'Christopher Hogwood'. Internally, generally firmly bound.

Leather. Zustand: Fair. Two Volumes in one. A regency leatherbound volume with marble paper covered boards, engraved frontispiece, and illustrations. William Cave (December 30, 1637 July 4, 1713) was an English divine. Cave was born at Pickwell, Leicestershire. He was educated at St. John's College, Cambridge, and successively h…eld the livings of Islington (1662), of All-Hallows the Great, Upper Thames Street, London (1679), and of Isleworth in Middlesex (1690). Cave was chaplain to Charles II, and in 1684 became a canon of Windsor, Berkshire, where he died. The two works on which his reputation principally rests are the Apostolici, or History of Apostles and Fathers in the first three centuries of the Church (1677), and Scriptorum Ecclesiasticorum Historia Literaria (1688). In both works he was drawn into controversy with Jean Leclerc, who was then writing his Bibliothèque universelle et historique, and who accused him of partiality. He wrote several other works of the same nature which exhibit scholarly research and lucid arrangement. He is said to have been a good talker and an eloquent preacher. In a half calf binding. There is some wear to the extremities including heavy rubbing to the boards and slight bumping to the corners with some loss to the leather on the corners. The front outer hinge is beginning to crack at the top and bottom. The binding is tight and firm with both covers and all pages attached. The pagination is incomplete (see ESTC R19304 [8], LI, [13], XXVI, vii, [3], 431, [21], XIII, [1], 176, [2] p., [5] leaves of plates) Internally the pages are generally clean and bright with the occasional handling mark, odd spot and occasional water stain to the very edge of the page.
