Description
London: John Wolfe, 1593. FIRST EDITION. 193 x 145 mm. (7 5/8 x 5 3/4"). 4 p.l., 464 pp., [1] leaf (lacking final blank). Contemporary limp vellum, flat spine with faded ink titling, yapp edges, pastedowns lifting to reveal remnants of green silk ties. In a modern blue linen clamshell box. Printer's device on title page, woodcut initials. Front flyleaf with early ink signature of George Whitgift (see below), with a slightly later "ex dono" added before his name in a different hand, which has also inscribed the motto "Sum columbini et amicorum" twice. STC 1352; ESTC S100667. ◆Vellum somewhat soiled, with a few creases to edges, persistent but small and pale stains to tail edge of leaves (never offensive), occasional rust spots or insignificant small stains, otherwise quite a fine copy--clean, fresh, and rather bright, with generous margins, in a sound, unsophisticated contemporary binding. This is an important anti-Puritan work defending the Church of England's ecclesiastical hierarchy, written by the man who would oversee the production of the King James Bible. Future Archbishop of Canterbury Richard Bancroft (1544-1610) shows himself here to be a staunch defender of the Anglican Church establishment against the Puritans' attacks on the position of bishops and their arguments for scriptural supremacy. "Survay" is an extended version of his famous 1589 sermon at Paul's Cross, which Britannica considers "the first statement of the 'divine right' of episcopacy in Anglican apologetics." He defends the episcopacy as both scriptural and historical, and denounces the reformers' rejection of bishops. Bancroft became bishop of London in 1597, and in this position fulfilled many of the duties of the ailing Archbishop of Canterbury, and upon the archbishop's death, succeeded him as senior primate of the Anglican Church. In that position, he was responsible for setting the doctrinal and liturgical guidelines for translators of the King James Bible, overseeing that project. The earl of Clarendon credited Bancroft with rescuing the Church of England "out of the hands of the Calvinian party, and . . . the unruly spirit of the Non-conformists." The present copy once belonged to George Whitgift, brother of Bancroft's mentor and predecessor, Archbishop of Canterbury John Whitgift (1530-1604). In addition to this desirable early provenance, our volume's unsophisticated original binding and crisp internal condition make it particularly enticing..

Description
Naples, Italy, 1871. Very good. Scattered foxing, extremities rubbed, remains of previous modern adhesive label to front pastedown.. A superb souvenir album created by an English or American tourist c.1871, showing the strong hold the ruins of Pompeii held over the touristic imagination in the Victorian era. From the beginning of the century, no European Grand Tour was complete without a visit to, and a souvenir from, the archaeological site, and the present volume is an excellent example of the kind of souvenirs sought by such well-to-do British and American tourists. The album was presumably bound after the fact, but contains fourteen (14) lithographs and engravings hand-finished in watercolor, gouache, and hand stencil/pochoir, that would have been purchased in or around Pompeii as a tourist souvenir. Each is contained in a thick card mat, embossed in blind ("Pompei" and "L Majolino In Napoli"). They each depict a different design from the ruins of Pompeii, such as the famous "cave canem" ("beware of dog") mosaic at the entrance to Pompeii's House of the Tragic Poet. Other images include Neptune driving his chariot, sea serpents, a cheetah hunting a boar, and complex mosaic designs featuring what would today be referred to as a swastika, but in Ancient Rome referenced lightning bolts and the gods. There is an additional hand-colored print without a mat tipped in to the rear, and an additional hand-colored etching depicting tourists visiting the ruins in the front of the album. Single vol. (12.5" by 10"), sixteen leaves with hand-colored plates bound in contemporary gold-stamped roan.

First edition presumed; 5 x 4; pp. [28], recto only; illustrated beige wraps; paper label with title laid-on; faint crease to lower corner; two small smudges to illustration on front wrap (moisture drops [?]); overall in very good condition. A beautiful edition, possibly a first English translation, of Pasternak's poem "Zimnie prazdniki," it was published by a mystery small press in Santa Barbara, operating under the name Centaur Press (but not the New York publishing company under the same name, known for reviving pulp adventure and fantasy works of the early 20th century). Originally published in Russian in 1947 (?), the poem illustrated Boris Pasternak's love for finding reasons to celebrate the little things and the common happenings in life and for commemorating them in his poetry.
