Down and Groomsport House, Bangor, Ireland. The thistle emblem of the family and shelf numbers appear on most spines; the bookplates of William Perceval or Robert Maxwell are in a number of the books. William Perceval, 1671-1734, Archdeacon of Cashel, Dean of Emly and Prebendary of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, was son of George Perceval, 1635-1675, and nephew of Sir William Perceval. Robert Maxwell, son of Henry and Dorothea Maxwell, died in 1769. Finnebrogue, built in the 1660s, was the Maxwell family house on Strangford Lough. Groomsport was the mansion built in 1849 by the Percevals. The two families were joined when the Rev. William Perceval, 1787-1880, married Anne, daughter of John Waring Maxwell, in 1809. The Public Record Office of Northern Ireland holds some 15,500 documents and c.200 volumes relating to the Maxwell, later Perceval-Maxwell family.

A reissue, with cancel title page, of The Life and Death of Mahumed, the author of the Turkish religion (1679). ‘One of the first and most successful anti-Islamic histories was The First State of Mahumedism written by Lancelot Addison, Dean of Litchfield. Addison had been chaplain at Tangiers and was author of … West Barbary, or a Short Narrative of the Kingdom of Fez and Morocco (1671), which gave an account of the sacred, civil, and domestic customs of the country. In the First State of Mahumedism Addison was concerned to give an account of the progress of Mahomet’s empire to awaken ‘all Christian magistrates into a timely suppression of False teachers, though never so despicable in their first appearance, lest (like Mahumed) they second heresy with force, and propagate enthusiasm with conquest.’ ref: J.A.I. Champion. The Pillars of Priestcraft Shaken, Cambridge 2014. The earliest owner of this volume was Andrew Newport, 1623-1699, MP for Preston 1685, and Shrewsbury 1689-98. 1679 £1,200 2. ANACREON.

Following the death of Queen Mary in December 1694, there was an outpouring of verse both in England and Holland. Matthew Prior, writing from the Hague in March 1695, commented that ‘we had had nothing new here for some months but volumes of bad poetry upon a blessed Queen’. This proliferation was mocked in The Mourning Poets, an anonymous survey of the poems by Tate, Motteux, Wesley, Walsh, Gould, and Stepney. Mention is made of the absence of Dryden, who ‘mourns; tho yet he does refuse to mourn in public, and exert his muse’. 1695 £150 __________ 6. APULEIUS, Lucius.
