Evans 29928. "First published in thirty numbers, of sixteen pages and an engraving, each. The completed volume bearing the date of the first number, although publication was not completed until 1796 or 1797. The Philadelphia edition differs from the New York edition only in its title page." Evans 29927 [Philadelphia edition]. The engravings are from several sources and are signed by Tanner (frontis.), Rollinson, Tisdale, Scoles, and Anderson, among others. The London first edition (1790?), which boasts an even more loquacious title page, acknowledges Paul Wright D.D.(1738-1785) as "Vicar of Oakley, &c. in Essex, late of Pembroke-Hall, Cambridge; And Author of the Christian's New and Complete British Family Bible; of the New and Complete Edition of Fox's Original Book of Martyrs; And of The New Edition of the Whole Book of Common Prayer, with Notes". Remarkably, no further biography of this industrious divine can be found in any of the usual places but for the bare details of his career in the Clergy of the Church of England Database.

Overall in very good condition. A very early, important and often overlooked publication on Abolitionism and criticism of Slavery in then only recently independent United States of America. Includes reports of John Woolman "visiting the quarterly-meetings in Chester county and afterwards joining with Daniel Stanton and John Scarborough, in a visit to such as kept Slaves there - Several more visits to such who kept Slaves; and to friends near Salem - Soem account of the yearly-meeting in the year 1759, and of the increasing concern in divers provinces, to labour against buying and keeping Slaves". "His visiting the northern parts of New Jersey the same year and the western parts of Maryland and Pennsylvania in 1767 and afterwards other parts of Pennsylvania in 1767 and afterwards other parts of Pennsylvania and the families of friends at Mount-Holly; and again several parts of Maryland in 1768 - Further considerations on keeping Slaves" "Some account of the Slave - Trade - From the writings of persons who have been at the places where they are first purchased" "Bosman on Guinea, who was a factor for the Dutch about sixteen years in that Country" John Woolman (1720 - 1772) was an American merchant, tailor, journalist, Quaker preacher, and early abolitionist during the colonial era. Based in Mount Holly, near Philadelphia, he traveled through the American frontier to preach Quaker beliefs, and advocate against slavery and the slave trade, cruelty to animals, economic injustices and oppression, and conscription. Beginning in 1755 with the outbreak of the French and Indian War, he urged tax resistance to deny support to the colonial military. In 1772, Woolman traveled to England, where he urged Quakers to support abolition of slavery. Woolman published numerous essays, especially against slavery. He kept a journal throughout his life; it was published posthumously, entitled The Journal of John Woolman (1774). Included in Volume I of the Harvard Classics since 1909, it is considered a prominent American spiritual work. It has also been admired for the power and clarity of its prose by non-Quakers such as the philosopher John Stuart Mill, the poet William Ellery Channing, and the essayist Charles Lamb, who urged a friend to "get the writings of John Woolman by heart." The Journal has been continuously in print since 1774, published in numerous editions; the most recent scholarly edition was published in 1989. (Wikipedia) Sprache: english.

BIBLE IN ENGLISH (illustratore). [WYCLIFFE, John]. A New Biblia Pauperum. Being Thirty-Eight Woodcuts Illustrating the Life, Parables & Miracles of Our Blessed Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ, With the Proper Descriptions thereof, extracted from the Translation of the New Testament, by John Wiclif, Sometime Rector of Lutterworth. London: Printed at the Sign of The Grasshopper, by Unwin Brothers, The Gresham Press., 1877. First edition. One of 257 copies printed and signed by the Unwin Brothers. This being number 212. Two separate parts, each numbered and signed. The first being the prospectus with the title-page as above and [12] pp. (9 3/4 x 7 3/8 inches; 248 x 187 mm). The second and main part being the bible (10 x 7 7/8 inches; 253 x 200 mm) and comprising [3], 38, [3] leaves and with thirty-eight woodblock plates each facing a page of text. The text is printed in black with red initials on verso, recto blank. Woodblock plates are facing text, printed on recto, verso blank. Printed on special handmade paper, in Caxton Type No. 2. With a preface by A.P. Stanley. Original drab boards, bound to the style of the period. Boards stamped in blind, in a design taken from an early block book in the British Museum. Spine lettered in gilt. Two brass clasps, lacking the strap attachment. Top edge dyed maroon, others uncut. Boards a bit soiled and rubbed along edges. Spine with some chipping and some wear to head and tail-pieces. Prospectus in original printed paper wrappers. Some very light soiling. Overall a very good copy of this interesting production. This limited edition was produced for the occurrence of the Caxton Celebration of 1877. The original woodblocks dating sometime between 1470-1540 were purchased by the Unwin brothers and used to print the plates which pair up nicely with the facsimile text of Wiclif's New Testament of 1525. It is unknow what work these woodblocks were originally used for the printing of, as the have not been "recognized as belonging to any printed book". "In issuing them, combined with a suitable descriptive text, our thought has been to produce, as nearly as possible, a counterpart of an old Biblia Pauperum, and thus form a fitting memorial not only of the Caxton Celebration, but also of the Wiclif Quincentenart." (Unwin Brothers, from the note by the printer). Herbert, 2008. HBS 66069. $2,500.

Small octavo, original reverse calf binding. Rare and important: a landmark in missionary publishing in Hawaii, this is the first complete edition of the New Testament in the Hawaiian language, printed entirely by the Mission Press. David Forbes in the Hawaiian National Bibliography gives an excellent and detailed account of the circumstances surrounding the publication. Printing of the New Testament began after the General Meeting in June 1835, where the task of preparing an Hawaiian version was given precedence over any other task the missionaries were working on. The work was actually completed in early 1836. A substantial number of copies was published but, as with many early Hawaiian imprints, the survival rate today is very low. . Dusted and a little browned, some pages with marked spotting; a very good copy in original reverse calf binding, neatly rebacked to match, a little worn, early 'Society of Inquiry Library' label to front pastedown.
