Description
Oxford: John Basket, 1727. Hardcover. Folio. Modern rebind in black leatherette with gilt spine lettering and new endpapers. Unpaginated. Two engraved frontispieces, historiated initials, two small engravings, single large foldout map ("Map shewing ye Situation of Paradice"). Modern rebind is pristine and tight; text block very good overall, with only the first few and last few leaves a tad edgeworn and age toned, else remainder quite bright and clean, with only very occasional touches of foxing and occasional discreet vintage mends; small chip to lower corner of first frontispiece (not touching image); map shows paper loss along right and bottom portions, the whole neatly remounted to full-size sheet. Attractive early printing of this Oxford Bible first produced by the King's Printer Baskett in 1716 and whose son Thomas later produced them mid-century -- not a so-called "Vinegar Bible," the famous typographical error in Luke XX noting the "parable of the vinegar," corrected here to "vineyard." Other than "To the Most High and Might Prince, James" opening single leaf, the "Translouters to the Reader" section addressing the editions consulted and the entire text that follows is done in two-column format. The Old Testament and Apocrypha are followed by the sectional title page and frontispiece for the New Testament, concluding with a lengthy index and foldout map. Inner flyleaf bears 18th century ownership signature of "Tomas Hawkes / His Book." A lovely, handleable copy of this large lectern Bible (hence " Appointed to be Read in Churches"). Interestingly, laid loose into this copy is a quite lovely, unsigned 9" X 13½" ink-and-wash drawing of a small cottage on a hillside in the foreground with rolling countryside in the distance along with other ephemeral fragments used as place markers in this Bible: an 1849 receipt from draper and grocer John Sneath of Wragby, England and several odd scraps torn from books and a newspaper, ten pages from a tiny hymnal, and portions of a letterhead and invitation.

Marshall's work was first published in 1796, "an instructive little book, written professedly written for the young gardener [which] remained popular over a long period."-- Henrey.

Description
England. Hardcover. Homemade outer folder. Very Good. N.d., circa 1910. 4to. 26 by 21.5 cm. 54 loose handwritten pages with 25 original half page pen-and-ink drawings of animals, sometimes anthropomorphosed, sometimes doing kooky things, occasionally with humans as well, and always illustrative of the jolly doggerel verses. The lilting nonsense of the poems co-exists with the vaguely pedagogic thrust of them. As an example there is the following: "See! up and down and round about its cage the Leopard trots,/ As Deer in winter shed their horns, so Leopards shed their spots." The illustrations are charmingly naive -- the naivete is part of their charm -- while the verses are unstintingly clever and amusing. We haven't a clue who the actual author was. The front cover shows a zebra painted in blue and black -- or is it violet, to correspond with the pseudonym? An outer folder, also homemade, encases the book.
