Title: The Book of Mormon: An Account Written by the Hand of Mormon, Upon Plates taken from the Plates of Nephi
Author: Smith, Joseph
Seller: Ken Sanders Rare Books, ABAA (United States)
Condition: Good +
Description: Liverpool: F.D. Richards, 1852. Third European edition, first state. Leather Bound. Good +. xii [1]-563 [1]pp. Sextodecimo [16 cm]. Full black leather with ornamental blind stamping to boards. Heavy restoration work to the spine. Blind stamped bands and title in gilt on the spine. Extremities bumped and rubbed. Front hinge cracked, with the front free endpaper, half-title and the blank page in between all partially detached. Textblock a bit wavy and very mildly foxed. Ownership mark of Peter Penfold on the front free endpaper, dated March 10th, 1865. Penfold is perhaps best known as a survivor of the 1855 wreck of the Julia Ann, a ship carrying Mormon immigrants from Australia to the United States. His detailed account of the tragedy, which resulted in five deaths, is frequently cited. Pagination for p.156 printed as p.56. Collated and complete. First British stereotyped edition, and an early printing of The Book of Mormon. This edition of the Book of Mormon is significant because the stereotype plates were used for all subsequent printings until the 1879 edition. The 1852 edition is also noteworthy due to the fact that it included two new features: the paragraphs are numbered, and chapter numbers are indicated at the inside margins of the running heads. Crawley II: 688. Flake/Draper 601.

Title: The soveraigne power of Parliaments and kingdomes: divided into fovre parts together with an appendix …
Author: PRYNNE, William
Seller: Rootenberg Rare Books & Manuscripts (United States)
Description: London: Michael Sparke Senior, 1643. FIRST EDITION. Complete and continuous despite pagination errors. General title (misbound between A2 and A3) and separate titles to each of the four parts. Woodcut initials, head- and tailpieces. Contemporary calf, rebacked and re-cornered, spine label; book label appears to have been removed from paste-down. First edition. Prynne, a Puritan, wrote extensively against the introduction of “papist” policies into the government during the English Civil Wars. In Soveraigne power, he argues that only the Parliament has supreme control over the law of the land, and he intends to “eternally silence ignorant, the most malicious Tongues and Pennes of all Royalists, &c. Anti-Parliamentary Malignants.” Not difficult to see which side of the aisle Prynne occupied. Prynne (1600–1669) was a prolific pamphleteer and attorney who wrote on numerous subjects from theater to theology and published about 200 books and pamphlets during his lifetime.

Title: An Account of Six Years Residence in Hudson's Bay, From 1733 to 1736, and 1744 to 1747
Author: Robson, Joseph
Seller: Walkabout Books (United States)
Description: London: Printed for J. Payne and J. Bouquet, 1752. First Edition. 8vo, pp vi + 84, 95, with 3 folding maps. Bound in full mottled calf with gilt rules. Small bookplate ("Lavington") on front pastwdown and one "From the Wilberforce Library Backsettown" on front free endpaper. Frontis map slightly misfolded, but overall a near fine copy. Robson was a former employee of the Hudson's Bay Company who had worked as a surveyor and "Supervisor of the Buildings" (i.e., construction superintendent). His experiences convinced him that the Company was mismanaging its holdings so badly that all of northern North America would soon be taken over by the French. Hill (1477) describes this account as one of the earliest and certainly the fullest of works that had hitherto been published on the Hudson Bay Territory," and explains that "Robson, with a sound knowledge of the locale and of the personnel of the Hudson's Bay Company, condemned the company for its failure to promote enterprise and development in its lands." The first 84 pages are the narrative, the remaining portion of the book is an appendix giving an account of the discovery of Hudson's Bay and English activities there. The maps are: "A Draught of Nelson & Hayes's Rivers" (Plate I), "A Draught of Churchill River," (Plate II), and "Plans of York and Prince of Wales's Fort," (Plate III, which also includes an illustration of two snowshoe designs).

Collating viii, 72: complete, including six fine color plates and several line drawings in the text. A fine copy. Aucassin & Nicolette is an Old French story written in a mixture of prose and poetry. The name of the author is unknown, but he probably lived in Picardy during the early 13th century. It recounts the tale of Aucassin, son of Count Garin of Beaucaire, who so loved Nicolette, a Saracen maiden, who had been sold to the Viscount of Beaucaire, baptized and adopted by him, that he had forsaken knighthood and chivalry and even refused to defend his father's territories from enemies. Accordingly, his father ordered the Viscount to send Nicolette away, but instead the Viscount locked her in a tower of his palace. Aucassin is imprisoned by his father to prevent him from going after his beloved Nicolette. But Nicolette escapes, hears Aucassin lamenting in his cell, and comforts him with sweet words. She flees to the forest outside the gates, and there, in order to test Aucassin's fidelity, builds a rustic home to await his arrival. Fine.
