Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd Edition. The second edition of Camden's Britannia was first published in Latin in 1586, and in Gibson's English translation in 1695. Awnsham Churchill brought out an issue in 1722. This imprint issued between 1722 and 1725. Complete in two volumes. Volume one: engraved portrait frontispiece, and nine plate illustrations depicting coins, two smaller illustrations showing Stonehenge and a second stone circle in Oxfordshire, eleven double page county maps by Robert Morden and two double page regional maps. Volume two has eight double page county maps by Robert Morden, one plate illustration of coins and relics, three further double page regional maps and two fold-out maps. Both volumes have further smaller illustrations in text, decorative head and tail pieces and initial caps. Title pages printed in red and black with decorative ruled double borders. Small elephant folio (15.5 inches tall). Volume one has a letter, dated 1948 bound in, from the British Library which states: "the copy of Camden's Britannia which you describe is evidently an unrecorded issue of the 2nd edition of 1722. The names of the various publishers given in the imprint demonstrate that this issue must have been published between 1721 and 1725, since their periods of activity limit the work to these dates. In the 18th century it was common practice for different issues of an edition to be published with different title-pages, the proprietors of each issue being alone named in its imprint. Thus the proprietor of Chubb's No CXV was Awnsham Churchill; those of your issue were the partners named on the title page".

Reference library ownership plate on front paste down of both volumes. Occasional ownership embossed stamps throughout. Internally very neat, clean, bright and fresh barring a small mild ink stain at the top of p. xcv and some notes in an old copperplate hand on the chipped last page of volume two.

The Journal prints President Adams's Address to Congress of December 8, 1798, discussing at length the "alarming and destructive pestilence" which had prevented the assembling of the government at Philadelphia; and recommending that Congress pass public health measures, by virtue of its power over interstate commerce, to prevent a recurrence.

8vo, pp. [iii]-vii, [i], 319; without the half title or free endpapers; inner upper corner of title and following leaves a bit frail (and title neatly repaired); some worming in corner of last few leaves as well; else a decent copy, in contemporary calf, rebacked, preserving the original spine. First and only edition. This collection of poems, dialogues and a verse play is attributed to Edward Barnard, who was the author of a pious memoir of a young lady called Lydia Allen who died in 1740 (two editions, 1740-41). Since the second edition of that book is signed by him, there is no doubt as to his authorship; but with this work, the identification seems to come from Halkett & Laing, and thus should be treated with some caution. If the author was indeed called Edward Barnard, he cannot be the man of that name who was headmaster and then provost of Eton, and died in 1781: there are few classical references, and in one of the poems he appears to refer to himself as a tradesman. The most substantial piece in this volume is a long play in blank verse, titled Edward VI (pp. 135-234), clearly written for the study rather than the stage. There are also dramatic dialogues, a short series of poems on the four seasons (not, I think, owing much to Thomson), and a loyal poem reflecting on the deaths of the Prince of Wales, the Prince of Orange and the Queen of Denmark in 1751. An unusual collection of verse by a man not classically educated and probably from the middle classes.

He was a curate in Bristol before obtaining the living at Newton St. Loe in Somerset, where he remained for 24 years before becoming chaplain to the Duke of Bedford. The Reverend Bedford was famous for his tracts, particularly those condemning the stage (". Horrid Blasphemies and Impieties which are Still Used in the English Playhouses " - 1719). He also published several works on the merits of uncomplicated religious music. The Scripture Chronology is an ambitious work. It applies a literal reading of the Scriptures in an attempt to document the time and location of events mentioned in the Old and New Testaments, such as the date of creation and the location of the Garden of Eden. Although indicative of the limited archaeological scholarship of Bedford's time, it is nonetheless interesting to read the arguments behind certain beliefs that have endured.
