Internally, the leaves are mostly clean with occasional water stains and medium foxing. -- Pseudodoxia Epidemica was Sir Thomas Browne's vast catalogue of refuted errors and considered an early European Encyclopedia contributing to the 17th century scientific revolution. Though containing many errors itself to modern readers, Pseudodoxia (also known as Vulgar Errors) paved the way for popular scientific journalism. It was published in no less than six editions (1646,1650,1658 twice,1659 and 1672) and translated into several European languages. Appendiced to Browne's encyclopaedia is An Alphabetical Table which indicates the wide spectrum of subjects covered in its pages. Compiled by Browne himself, the Index lists his main sources as commended authors, his many experiments, and his interests of astronomical, historical, biblical and zoological queries. In its day Pseudodoxia Epidemica was a best-seller and was placed upon the shelves of many English households. - REFERENCES: ESTCR29139; Wing 5161; Keynes 75, Bibliography of Browne; Folio; [12], 326, [10] pages Item No: A- 1331 Price: $ 600.00 Author: Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Title: The Poetical Works of Elizabeth Barrett Browning Complete in One Volume - (The Diamond Edition) Description: New York, James Miller, 1874, Brown Embossed Cloth, Printed by Anderson & Ramsay, 28 Frankfort St. NY. 1874.

Internally, the leaves are clean and crisp and include an Engraved Portrait Frontispiece, Preface, Errata and Advertisement leaves. - John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester, is generally considered to be the most considerable poet and the most learned among the Restoration wits. A few of his love songs have passionate intensity; many are bold and frankly erotic celebrations of the pleasures of the flesh. He is also one of the most original and powerful of English satirists. In 1674 as his health was declining, his thoughts turned to more serious matters of philosophy and religion, stimulated by his friendship with Gilbert Burnet. Burnet recorded their religious discussions herein "Some Passages of the Life and Death...". In 1680 Wilmot became seriously ill and experienced a religious conversion, followed by a recantation of his past and ordered “all his profane and lewd writings” burned. The "Life of Rochester..." here printed in full, had a phenomenal success, published first in 1680 and thereafter in repeated editions and reprints (including translation into French, Dutch, and German). - REFERENCES: Wing, B5922; 8vo; [16], 182, [2] pages Item No: A- 1316 Price: $ 375.00 Author: Bush, Forbes Title: Memoirs Of The Queens Of France: With Notices Of The Royal Favourites.

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. A second edition of Grey's Hudibras appeared in 1764, and a Supplement in 1752.

In Geneva, he rejected Papal authority, established a new scheme of civic and ecclesiastical governance, and created a central hub from which Reformed theology was propagated. He is renowned for his teachings and writings and infamous for his role in the execution of Michael Servetus. At the age of twenty-six, Calvin published several revisions of his Institutes of the Christian Religion, a seminal work in Christian theology that altered the course of Western history as much as any other book and that is still read by theological students today. --- Calvin also produced many volumes of commentary on most of the books of the Bible. For the Old Testament, he published commentaries for all books except the histories after Joshua (though he did publish his sermons on First Samuel) and the Wisdom literature other than the Book of Psalms. For the New Testament, he omitted only the brief second and third epistles of John and the Book of Revelation. These commentaries, too, have proved to be of lasting value to students of the Bible, and they are still in print after over 400 years. - REFERENCE: STC 4393. ; 4to; 925, [3] pages Item No: A- 1210 Price: $ 4000.00 Author: Carranza, Batholomeo Title: Summa Omnium Conciliorum Et Pontificum ....accesserunt Etiam Statua Quaedam Synodalia Parisiensis Et Senonensis Ecclesae Nuper Ex Manuscriptis Exemplaribus in Lucem Prolata ....
