Description: London, Bonham Norton, 1618, FIRST EDITION (?), Full Calf Leather, Volumes I & 2. Rastell first published his great collection of statutes from Magna Carta to the present in 1557. It was updated periodically, the final edition appearing in 1625. “It is partly of the nature of an edition of the Statutes at large, as the enacting parts of the public statutes in force are printed nearly word for word, and in their original language. But it is more of the nature of an abridgment.. .. The book was frequently republished and brought up to date in successive editions and in 1579 the Latin and French Statute were translated. ” Holdsworth, A History of English Law IV: 311-312.

The folio comprised all of the saint's writings, copiously annotated by Fell, numerous Indices, the Life of Cyprian (Vita S. Caecilii Cypriani) , and Annales Cyprianici, which was compiled by the greatest English patristic scholar of the age, John Pearson (Joannem Cestriensem) (1613-1686). - Saint Cyprianus was a 3rd century bishop of Carthage whose writings are important to early Christian history. - REFERENCE: Wing.

[2], xiv,255,[1]; 59,[5] pages. - This treatise was published anonymously in 1714. Dr. Marshall, however, in his preface to his translation of St. Cyprian, acknowledges it in the following words: "Perhaps it will be expected from me to apologize for my frequent reference in the course of this work to a treatise which I published some time ago without a name to it, concerning ‘the Penitential Discipline of the Primitive Church: ’ now my true and only reason for thus referring to it, was to save the trouble of enlarging further upon subjects which are there properly handled, and which could not so well be deduced to their proper length, within the necessary brevity of notes. "— (Pref. P. 20.) Of the circumstances of Dr. Marshall’s life but little is known. It appears from the Register of Emmanuel College, Cambridge, that "Nathaniel Marshall, of the Country of Middlesex, was entered a pensioner of that house, July 8th, 1696. That he was admitted to the degree of LL. B. In 1702, and to that of D. D. In 1717, by royal mandate; " but no other mention of him is to be found in that College. The various preferments which he held appear in the title-pages of his several works. In 1712, he preached before the Sons of the Clergy. In January, 1715, he was lecturer at Aldermanbury, and Curate of Kentish Town: when at the recommendation of the Princess of Wales, who was pleased with his preaching, he was appointed to be one of the King’s Chaplains, "whose favourable regard, " as his widow says, in her Preface to his Sermons published after his death, and dedicated to the Queen, "he had the honour to enjoy. " In 1717, he brought out his "Translation of St. Cyprian; " his "Defence of the Constitution in Church and State, " and his "Earnest Exhortation, " at which time he was Rector of the united parishes of St. Vedast’s, Foster-Lane, and St. Michael-le-Querne. In 1721,he published "A Sermon preached on January 30th. " He appears afterward to have had the Lectureship of St. Lawrence, Jewry, and St. Martin’s, Ironmonger-Lane, and died, February 6th, 1730-1, Canon of Windsor. In the course of the same year, his widow Margaret published by subscription fifty of his miscellaneous Sermons in three volumes, octavo, with a Dedication to the Queen; and a fourth volume appeared in 1750. - ESTCT114347; 8vo; [2],xiv,255,[1];59,[5]p. pages Item No: A- 56 Price: $ 300.00 Author: Wotton, William.

Grey's edition of Hudibras was the First Edition to use the Suite of Sixteen Plates that William Hogarth had prepared in 1725-1726. While not read in the twentieth century, this mock-heroic poem satirizing the Puritans, was very popular for over two hundred years. This edition was published by subscription, which is said to have produced 1500. Grey's knowledge of puritan literature enabled him to illustrate his author by profuse quotations from contemporary authors, a method comparatively new.
