Uniformly bound in full leather with decorative gilt covers front and back, each with an armorial seal, raised bands on gilt decorated spines, inner dentelles, all edges gilt, ribbon markers, with all covers still attached, frontis-piece in Volume I is present [foxed]. There are two bookplates inside each volume, each with a history attached to the owners. The first is E. Dennison, being Eduardo Denison. There is a Latin inscription to him in Volume I "Egregio Juveni Eduardo Denison Coll: Oriel: Supt. Ord. Commensali, Publica Examinatione In Litenis humaniovibus Primam Clafsem Adepts. D. D. Praepositus et Socii Osielenses. MDCCCXXII". It appears that this set was a gift for passing an exam of importance. In 1868 Argentina, Eduardo Denison, along with Octavia Hill, created Labor Centers, Worker's Clubs and Schools to help free those in poverty, banishing the systems of handouts in favor of work. He also worked with UNESCO, analyzing the influence of Education in the economic growth of a country. The second bookplate, being armorial, bears the name of W. Harry Rylands (1847-1922) a prolific author, Secretary to the Society of Biblical Archaeology, specializing in Oriental Archaeology and the Hittite Language. He also designed a fount of Hittite type, with this just touching upon his extensive activities in the fields of literature and antiquities. Covers show edge/corner wear, some upper spine weakness due to the books being improperly pulled from shelves, interior shows occasional light foxing.…

Hardcover. Condizione: Near Fine. First Edition Thus. Xi, 723, Lxviii. Full Maroon Morocco, Gilt Title, All Edges Gilt, Gilt Dentelles / Turns, Marbled Endpapers. 12 " X 10" X 2". Last Modern Edition; Earlier Editions Are Rare. Binding Near Fine, Slight Rubbing To Edges Of Spine, Strong, Hinges Tight. Small Round Heraldic Bookplate On Front Pastedown. Pages Are Clean And Bright. International Shipping At Much Higher Charge Than Stated. Per Wikipedia, Robert Fabyan (Died C.1512) Was A London Draper, Sheriff And Alderman. In 1485 He Served As Renter Warden Of The Drapers, And In 1486 As Auditor Of The Accounts Of The City Of London. In 1493 He Was Elected Sheriff, And In The Following Year As Alderman Of The Ward Of Farringdon Without. In 1495 He Was Elected Master Of The Drapers, And In 1496 Was Chosen To Petition Henry Vii On Behalf Of The Company With Respect To The Levies On Cloth Exported From England To Flanders. During The Cornish Rebellion Of 1497 Fabyan, John Brooke And John Warner Were Charged With Securing Ludgate And Newgate. After The Suppression Of The Rebellion They Travelled With The King To Woodstock. In 1498 He Was One Of The Assessors Of A Subsidy Levied To Finance The War In Scotland. In 1501 He Was Again Elected Master Of The Drapers. In 1503 He Resigned His Office Of Alderman On The Ground That He Lacked The Financial Resources To Support Election As Lord Mayor. He Is Best Known As The Author Of The Work Commonly Known As Fabyan's Chronicle, Which Presents 'Parallel Histories Of England And France', And Covers The Period From The Arrival Of The Legendary Brutus Of Troy In England To The Death Of Henry Vii. Two Manuscripts Are Extant (Holkham Hall, Ms 671, And Bl, Cotton Ms Nero C.Xi), And Although These Are Not In Fabyan's Hand, It Is Almost Certain That The Text Is His. The Chronicle Was Initially Printed Without Attribution By Richard Pynson In 1516 As The New Chronicles Of England And France, But An Edition Of 1533 Printed By William Rastell Bore Fabyan's Name On The Title Page: Fabyans Cronycle Newly Prynted. Both John Bale And John Stow Described The Chronicle As Fabyan's Work, Although According To Mclaren, Stow Also Wrongly Attributes To Him The Manuscript Of The Great Chronicle (London, Guildhall Library, Ms 3313), Likely Because Both Fabyan's Chronicle And The Great Chronicle Are Written (Or Copied) In The Same Hand. A Continuation In 1509 Appears Also To Be Attributable To Fabyan, And Includes Events Personally Witnessed By Him, Such As The Arrest In 1468 Of Thomas Cooke, A Prominent Merchant In London, And The Arrival In England In 1502 Of Three Men, Inhabitants Of Newfoundland, 'Whom The King Kept A Time After'. Fabyan Was The First London Chronicler To Cite His Sources, Which Included The Brut, Bede, William Of Malmesbury, Ranulf Higden, Henry Of Huntingdon And Numerous Others, As Well As Records Of The City Of London. John Bale Claimed That The 1516 Edition Was Burned By Cardinal Wolsey. The Second Edition Of 1533 Was Printed After Wolsey's Death, And Was Followed By Editions In 1542 And 1559. Henry Ellis Edited This Modern Edition In 1811.…

Full-Leather. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. Boards rubbed with a few discolored spots, lacks title label, ink name on front endpaper. 1750 Full-Leather. 157; viii, 109; [vi], 23; 20; 36; [iv], 129; 116; 53 pp. Full sheep, gilt double rules, five raised spine bands. Bound volume of eight uncommon pamphlets relating to the controversy initiated by Conyers Middleton's Free enquiry into the miraculous powers supposed to have subsisted in the Christian church from the earliest ages (1748). Leslie Stephen called Middleton's Free Enquiry 'incomparably the most effective [publication] of the whole deist controversy.' It was published the same year as Hume's first Enquiry which contains an essay, 'On Miracles.' Many years later, in My Own Life (London 1777), Hume confessed his chagrin: 'On my return from Italy, I had the mortification to find all England in a ferment, on account of Dr. Middleton's Free Enquiry, while my performance was entirely overlooked and neglected.' There was every reason to compare the two books, for the tendency of both was to undermine the belief in the miraculous. But whereas Hume was raising methodological difficulties about the possibility of providing adequate historical proof of such occurrences ? Middleton was concerned primarily with the [adequacy of the] historical evidence actually available." - Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Middleton was prepared to accord greater authority to the miracles recounted in the Bible than to those attested to by the later Church Fathers. Includes: A Dissertation on II Peter i. 19.: Occasioned by Middleton's Free Enquiry, directed at the arguments in Anthony Collins' deistic Discourse on the Grounds and Reasons of the Christian Religion (1724). Ashton's opposition to Middleton is said to have caused a permanent rupture in the relationship with his friend and patron Horace Walpole.; An Impartial Examination of the Bishop of London's Late Appendix to a Dissertation on the Sense of the Ancients before Christ upon the Circumstances and Consequences of the Fall.: Printed by the "learned printer," William Bowyer. Sherlock had been an object of Middleton's attacks.; Remarks on Dr. Sherlock's, Now Bishop of London's, First Dissertation; in a Letter to His Lordship.; The Plan of a Supplement to Dr. Middleton's Free Enquiry, Exhibited in a Dissertation on the Baptism and Miraculous Gifts of the Holy Ghost.; An Examination of the Consequences of Dr. Middleton's Free Enquiry, &c.; Two Questions, Previous to Dr. Middleton's Free Enquiry, Impartially Considered: Thirty-five years before Sykes was part of a small group associated with Samuel Clarke at Cambridge and a partisan of Bentley in an earlier dispute with Middleton.; An Impartial Examination of the Free Inquiry: The Primitive Fathers Vindicated, and the Necessity of Miracles maintain'd, to the Conclusion of the Third Century. in A Letter to Dr. Middleton; Some Remarks upon Mr. Church's Vindication of Miraculous Powers, &c., with An Observation or Two upon Dr. Stebbing's Christianity Justified, So Far as Relates to This Subject.…
