Parsons' famous spiritual manual was first published in 1582 as 'The first booke of the Christian exercise, appertayning to Resolution'; a Protestant version was swiftly produced, in 1584, by the Puritan Edmund Bunny. Parsons then produced a revised and expanded edition of his text in 1585, published for the first time under the title of 'A Christian Directorie'; it was this 1585 edition that was the basis for another Protestant edition: 'An anonymous imitator of Bunny gathered three of the entirely new chapters and three expanded chapters, adapted them and brought them out in 1590 as The seconde parte of the booke of Christian exercise, appertayning to Resolution' (Houliston ed., The Christian directory (1582), 1998, xlvi). It is this anonymous Protestant version which was in part the basis for the editions published in 1722, 1739, 1754 and 1768, though all were clearly produced in a Catholic milieu for a presumably largely Catholic readership. The revised text of Parsons' Directory found in this current volume was first published in 1739, printed by John Hoyle and sold by the Catholic bookseller Thomas Meighan. This 1768 Preston edition is extremely scarce: no copies attested on WorldCat, ECCO, or Blom. Parsons' 'most influential work', 'one of the most widely dispersed and influential English books of spirituality of the post-Reformation period' (ODNB). ~Robust packaging. Overseas orders trackable on request. Used books are exempt from USA tariffs. Hardback. Size: vi, (6), 660pp.

8vo, 76 pp., title-page dust-soiled, small brown stain in first few leaves, nineteenth-century calf-backed boards. First edition; dedicated "To the preses and managers of the Kilbarchen Farmer-Society." The harvest of 1772 was a particularly poor one. The writer, a farmer from Kilbarchan, Renfrewshire, discusses various types of inclement weather (extreme cold, high winds, heavy rain, etc.) and ways to deal with it. Rare; the ESTC locates only the copies at LSE, NLS, Chicago, Toronto, and the present copy (formerly Rothamsted).

Johnson?.A very attractive copy of the most popular work of Philip Miller (1691-1771), the foremost British gardener of the eighteenth century, with five folding plates of botanical illustrations. 'Miller's Gardener's Kalendar, published in fifteen editions between 1732 and 1765, catered for the modest gardener who needed practical advice [Miller] produced a work not only portable, but also at a price to suit those who could not afford a larger book. At four shillings a copy it came within the purse of most and indeed was judged to be "a manual to the whole kingdom". Its aim was to bring into "one easy and concise view" what might be of use to those "hindered by other avocations from bestowing much time in the study of this delightful and innocent work" Under each month could be found directions for work to be done in the kitchen garden with notes on its produce, the pleasure or flower garden with plants then in flower, and the greenhouse and stove with their plants in bloom' (Le Rougetel, pp. 1013).

bound without the half-title, minor browning, verso of last leaf slightly soiled, pp. ii, 116, 12mo, contemporary tree calf, corners worn, rebacked. 'Literary interest in the events of September 1513 started early. The earliest printed poem appears in 1664 [Wing F1365, 'Floddan Field]. The author, Joseph Benson, a declared philomath, was an adherent of the Stanley family and is very clearly writing from an English perspective. His nineteenth-centry editor [there was an edition in 1805, printed in Lancaster] asserts he had access to an earlier source held within that family but omits any details. Benson's poems seems odd now since it misses out two elements which rapidly became part of the Flodden story: the chivalrous nature of Scotland's king, and the duplicitous nature of Lady Elizabeth Heron of Ford' (Sadler and Serdiville, The Battle of Flodden). In the present edition there are notes by the unnamed editor which, among other things, signalises the role of Sir Edward Stanley. The Stanley family lived at Lathom in Lancashire, and hence we may suppose had some hand in the local editions. Of the 1773 edition ESTC records NLS, Columbia, and Folger, and of the 1774 Preston edition, Harvard only. The London edition of 1774, also Printed and Sold by W. Stuart, is commoner. Curiously, there is another 19th-century edition, published in 'Ancient Historical Ballads', Newcastle, 1807, woodcut by Bewick (Tattersfield TB 2.19). In this edition, 'The Battle of Floddon', the text is said to be 'published from a curious manuscript in the possession of James Askew, of Palins-Burn, Northumberland', edited, with (quite different) notes, by Robert Lambe, Vicar of Norham upon Tweed, and his dedication is dated Jan. 30, 1773. The text is identical in all editions, but the present is the only one with an author's name attached - we can't find Joseph Benson's name attached to anything else. Sir Walter Scott had a copy of the 1805 edition, which would have informed 'Marmion', (ESTC N32357).
