Hardcover. Zustand: VG orig. red boards. 124 p.; 19 cm. (Beckley social service lecture ; 1959) From the introduction: `This book does not purport to be a history of the Christian heritage in politics. That would be an impossible task, for no man can measure the influence that Christ's teaching has had upon the history of man. It is possible only to trace the working out in history of those three great new truths that Jesus enunciatied to the world, viz.: (a) That people have priority over everything else in God's sight. That every man has a value beyond price because he is a child of God, made for fellowship with God and able to talk and to walk with God. (b) That because of man's exalted value the mark of a good life is that it is a life of service to people. The servant is exalted to a place of honour, for in serving man he also serves God. (c) That the only ethic on which service should be undertaken and the only ethic worthy of the dignity of man is that of love. In these three fundamentals of the teaching of Jesus is the secret of every Christian witness in politics.'.…

One page, sm. folio, bifiolium docketed on p.4, text clear and complete (see Image), some staining and wear. Thomas Hanmer edited Shakespeare's Works: "[Wikipedia] Hanmer's Shakespeare was published at Oxford in 174344, with nearly forty illustrations by Francis Hayman and Hubert Gravelot.[17] The Cambridge History of English and American Literature states that "The print and binding were magnificent, and caused its value to rise to nine guineas, when Warburton's edition was going for eighteen shillings." Hanmer's editing, however, was based on his own selection of emendations from the Shakespeare editions of Alexander Pope and Lewis Theobald, along with his own conjectures, without indicating for the reader what was in his source texts and what was editorially corrected. Therefore, Hanmer's edition is not highly regarded today, with the editors of The Oxford Shakespeare assessing it in William Shakespeare: A Textual Companion as "one of the worst in the eighteenth century." Also, Hanmer became the target of ridicule by Pope, who in his Dunciad lampoons him under the name Montalto (Book IV, 105ff.) and refers to him in a note (IV 113) as "An eminent person, who was about to publish a very pompous Edition of a great Author, at his own expense" (emphasis original). However, there are some emendations of value that were made by Hanmer which have been accepted into later editions of Shakespeare." A scarce signature.…
