Adams L 1564; Ahmanson-Murphy 135; Renouard 72:6. 2 ANACREON. [Greek title]. Anakreontos, kai allon tinon lurikon poieton mele. Anacreontis et Aliorum aliquot poetarum Odæ. In easdem Henr.

Lutetiae [Paris], Apud Robertum Stephanum, & Guil Morelium, 1556 £1,750 2 works bound together, 160 x 108mm., pp.122;54; copper engraved title-devices, head-pieces & initials, those to first work expertly illuminated in colours & gold; some light browning but well preserved with good margins, neat old reinforcements to lower margin of two leaves; handsome contemporary crimson morocco with gilt floral border on sides, expertly rebacked in style, backstrip elaborately decorated in six sections, presumably when inscribed to 'Arthur Wellesley Pike, Christs Hospital, The gift of his Papa 1 Jan. 1863', on endpaper; remains of early pictorial ex libris, later small armorial & subsequent bookplate of Sir Anthony Wagner, Garter King of Arms. The first Greek edition of Anacreon (now known to be by several authors in the style of Anacreon whose actual work survives in fragments only), appeared in 1554 and was the first publication under his own name of Robert's brother, Henri Estienne. Its appearance 'virtually caused a poetic revolution, not only in France, but also in Italy and Germany’ (Schreiber). The Latin version by Elias Andreas first appeared in 1555. Though separately printed, these Robert Estienne editions are often found bound together. 3 ANGUS, William. The Seats of the Nobility and Gentry in Great Britain and Wales.

Cox III 17 Mark Arman entered our lives shortly after the issue of catalogue 21, our first to specialise in fine printing. An artist & printmaker (having retired from HMRC) he made books which explored his love of type & ornament (and produced some striking fleuron catalogue covers for us). Like Francis Meynell his typographic skills & enthusiasm made a winning combination and his books quickly went out of print. We were able to alert him to the tragic break-up of Cowells' printshop (at the end of Silent Street) and also the 19thC printers H.G. Crisp in Saxmundham (where we now have a small bookshop). On both occasions he went home to Thaxted with groaning springs and quantities of rescued type & equipment, and proceeded to tell the tale in the books that followed. When his failing sight forced him to stop printing, I purchased his remaining stock of the wonderful broadside type specimens which adorned his books, a collection of which we offer below. The Workshop Press archive of original lino-cuts, proofs, &c., is also for sale; full details available on request. (See Matrix 10). 4 ARMAN, Mark.

Excusumque suit Gippeswici [Ipswich] in Anglia per Ioannem Overton [but printed by Dirk van der Straten, Wesel] 1548 £2,500 FIRST EDITION, sm.4to., pp.(24), fol.255; large title woodcut, two vignettes & initials throughout; title lightly soiled & mounted, neatly repairing minor loss to blank inner margin, recent endleaves, otherwise a very well preserved copy in attractive 18thC ? calf, gilt, double morocco labels; ex libris Sir James Graham Bt., Portland Place. Born, 21 Nov., 1495, at South Cove, near Dunwich, Bale was educated at the Carmelite convent in Norwich and Jesus Coll., Cambridge, beoming the last Prior of the Ipswich Carmelite House in 1533. Converted to Protestantism by Thomas, Lord Wentworth of Nettlestead, Suffolk, he caused a scandal 'that I might never more serve so execrable a beast, I took to wife the faithful Dorothy'. Rector of Thorndon in 1534, the first of his plays appeared in 1538, earning the patronage of the Earl of Essex. This History of English Literature, his major work, was long thought an early Ipswich printing, but is actually the work of Dirk van der Straten of Wesel commisioned during one of Bale's several periods of continental exile, though he returned to England after the accession of protestant Edward VI in 1547.

  • London Charity Beneficiaries, C. 1800-1834: Questions of Agency
    London Charity Beneficiaries, c. 1800-1834: Questions of Agency Megan Clare Webber Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 18 May 2016 i Abstract In recent decades historians have ‘discovered’ agency in a wide range of geographical and temporal contexts, amongst many different types of actor. This dissertation employs the concept of agency to dissect the dynamics of power in early nineteenth-century London charities. Concurrently, it uses charity to test the potential applications of agency as a historical concept and as a tool for historical analysis. Through case studies of five different types of charity in early nineteenth-century London, this dissertation explores the varied ways in which plebeians exercised their agency. The case studies engage with current definitions of agency —intentional action, resistance, the defence of rights and customs, exerting control over one’s own life, autonomy, strategy, choice, and voice— and test the boundaries of the concept, proposing different ways in which scholars might characterise agency. This dissertation not only examines how the poor exerted their agency, but also how philanthropists conceptualised the agency of the poor. Although agency had a different set of meanings in the early nineteenth century than it does today, Georgian commentators nevertheless discussed the same phenomena that historians today label as agency. This dissertation considers how philanthropists attempted to mould the agency of their beneficiaries and how the agency of the poor shaped charitable organisations. For all its prevalence, agency is an under-theorised and problematic concept. There is no consensus about what agency is or how to locate it.

  • Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Stirling Online Research Repository Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century A Catalogue D. W. Bebbington Professor of History, University of Stirling The catalogue that follows contains biographical data on the Unitarians who sat in the House of Commons during the nineteenth century. The main list, which includes ninety-seven MPs, is the body of evidence on which the paper on „Unitarian Members of Parliament in the Nineteenth Century‟ is based. The paper discusses the difficulty of identifying who should be treated as a Unitarian, the criterion chosen being that the individual appears to have been a practising adherent of the denomination at the time of his service in parliament. A supplementary list of supposed Unitarian MPs, which follows the main list, includes those who have sometimes been identified as Unitarians but who by this criterion were not and some who may have been affiliated to the denomination but who were probably not. The borderline is less sharp than might be wished, and, when further research has been done, a few in each list may need to be transferred to the other. Each entry contains information in roughly the same order. After the name appear the dates of birth and death and the period as an MP. Then a paragraph contains general biographical details drawn from the sources indicated at the end of the entry. A further paragraph discusses religious affiliation and activities. Unattributed quotations with dates are from Dod’s Parliamentary Companion, as presented in Who’s Who of British Members of Parliament.

WERNER LAURIE LTD. INTRODUCTORY NOTE The author of this astonishing and ingenious com- pilation has asked me to write an introduction, not because he imagines that I know anything about bibli- ography, but because he wishes for the imprimatur of Wilde's Literary Executor. Pius the Ninth, when invited to assist the sale of a certain writer's book, promised to put it on the Index Librorum Prohibitorum. The kindest act which I could do for Mr. Stuart Mason would be to injunct the result of his toil on the ground that he or his publishers had committed some breach of the Copyright Laws. This would have tempted the dealer in unauthorised literature, who would, I am sure, have invested at once in what might promise to become " curious " and " scarce." But Mr. Mason has pedantically observed all the prin- ciples of the Berne and Berlin Conventions and those other conventions which have no other authority than courtesy. I cannot pretend to have read his book through; but I can affirm that in turning over the proofs for ten minutes I learned more about Wilde's writings than Wilde himself ever knew.

L . PREFACE, The world is becoming so accustomed to having its history " " written up to date in the daily newspaper that it is apt to overlook the exigencies of serial and other publications. Magazines are printed, some of them, months ahead of their issue to the public. The production of books is undertaken still more leisurely, both by author and publisher. I venture to ask the critical reader of the following pages to bear these facts in mind. While this work has been passing through the press there " have been births, marriages, and deaths." Ancient landmarks, historical and otherwise, have given place to new ones.

  • Lord Mayor of London by Morag Wire
    Newsletter No. 64 - January 2009 Price £1 (Free to Members) In this issue: Chairman’s Report by Bob Flanagan Conservation After the high point of the opening of the new News Page 4 Memorial Garden in June, as reported in the The Oakey September Newsletter, it’s been a depressing 6 months. Firstly, the installation of new cremator Family equipment in the crematorium seems to have required (1813-1963) the erection of some sort of above ground heat Sandpaper exchanger. It is not clear if it is intended to be manufacturers temporary or permanent. What is clear, however, is that it is ugly, it has been erected over graves (30,278 Page 6 and 32,036, square 51) and that planning permission Future has not been obtained. The Management Advisory Norwood Group was not even notified, let alone consulted. Regeneration Added to this, the cremator required an enhanced electricity supply. A new cable has been laid in a Page 9 trench dug right through the middle of the newly- David Williams reinstated roadway, all the way from the crematorium Wire (1801-60) to the boundary wall adjacent to the Robson Road Lord Mayor of Industrial Estate. It passes over graves (14,335 and 10,428, square 24) on the slope down from the London Page 10 Crematorium to the lower roadway. Recent FOWNC Events Page 14 Forthcoming Events Page 15 FOWNC Officers Page 16 The new addition to the crematorium (square 51) Did Lambeth know that the crematorium refurbishment was planned when the roadway was reinstated? Yes – when we queried the high specification of the new road surface we were told it was to enable it to take the load of the new cremator equipment! Could the cable have been laid as part of the roadway works? Yes! Would it have been better to do this? Yes! The result is an ugly scar in the new roadway that will erode more quickly than the proper surface.
