INCLUDES: Plan of the National Gallery showing the locations and vestibules
displaying the Old Masters' Pictures relative to their School of Art. Preface by
F.W. Burton, who compiled all of the works by the Old Masters which had been
acquired through purchase, gift, or bequest within the previous four years. As
many of the pictures were by painters previously unrepresented in the
Collection, an equal number of Biographical Notices were required from authentic
sources. An Index to the Names of the Masters of the (1381) Pictures in the
National Gallery, Foreign Schools, is arranged according to the numbers of the
Pictures. A List of Painters is arranged according to their Schools and
Chronology. The Schools represented were Tuscany, Sienese, Umbrian and
Romagnole, Lombary and the Emilia, Venice and the Venetian Territories, Padua,
Verona, Ferrarese, Bolognese, Roman and Neapolitan, Spanish, Dutch, Flemish
(15th-17th centuries), German, French, and Byzantine. Numerous vignettes abound
showing autograph inscriptions of the Painters. -- The British National Gallery
of Pictures was founded in 1824, during the administration of the Earl of
Liverpool, by the purchase of the collection of the late John Julius Angerstein,
Esq., which thus formed the nucleus of the present national collection. ; 4to;

| Description: |
London, 1658, THIRD EDITION, Full Calf Leather, Printed by R[obert]. W[hite]. for Nath. Ekins, at the
Gun in Pauls Church-Yard, 1658. - Brown calf leather binding with secure
blindstamped ruled boards. Woodcut headpieces, tailpieces, and decorative
capital letters throughout. 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. -

and Death of the Right Honourable John Earl of Rochester, Who Died the 26th of
July, 1680. Written by His Own Direction on His Death-Bed, by Gilbert Burnet, D.
D. |
| Description: |
London, 1680, FIRST EDITION, Full Calf Leather, Printed for Richard Chiswel, at the Rose and Crown in
St. Pauls Church-Yard , 1680. - Original calf leather binding in good condition
with five raised bands on spine. 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:

Butler's Hudibras (1663-78) , edited and prefaced by Zachary Grey (1688-1766) .
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. (Lowndes I, 335.) ; 8vo 8" - 9"

during the Protestant Reformation and was a central developer of the system of
Christian theology called Calvinism or Reformed theology. 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. -
