Description
Boston: S. Kneeland and T. Green, 1738. [4], 34, [2 blanks] pp, with the half title [chipped at blank lower margin]. Disbound, scattered foxing and light wear, Good+. A Harvard graduate and Congregational Minister in Marblehead for over fifty years, Barnard was, according to Charles Chauncy, "equalled by few in regard either of readiness of invention, liveliness of imagination, or strength and clearness of reasoning" [so quoted in DAB]. His early work, 'Ashton's Memorial', was "a worthy and early American addition to the literature of castaways" [II Streeter Sale 671]. Here Barnard makes a powerful argument for the self-government of New England congregations, with obvious implications for self-government of American political institutions. Religious self-government profoundly differed from Anglican practices across the Atlantic. New England congregations reflect the early practice of "the Primitive Church." For "the first three hundred Years after Christ, the Churches consisted of particular Congregations, each having their own Pastor, to minister unto them in the holy Things of God; and every such Assembly of professed Christians... had entire Power within it self, to manage the Affairs of the Kingdom of Christ, and the holy Discipline belonging to it, without any Dependance upon any superiour Power upon Earth." This "was the Principle of our Fathers, who laid the Foundation of these Churches, in this Wilderness." Evans 4219. ESTC W20701.

Berkeley, California: Editions Koch and Stanford University Libraries, 2017. smythe sewn, soft cover (letter press printed) and slipcased. 9 x 12 inches. smythe sewn, soft cover (letter press printed) and slipcased. 3 volumes, 492 pages. "Overall, this is the best work in our own field towards an ecological bibliography, a restatement of the book as art, and the boundless ambition of a printer who aspires to elevate his craft into a universally perceived and embraced art form for all advocates of the printed page." - John Neal Hoover, PBSA A descriptive bibliography in three volumes, published in conjunction with the exhibition "Peter Koch Printer: A Forty-year Retrospective" at the Green Library, Stanford University, May - October, 2017, later shown at the Grolier Club, New York, September - November, 2019. With 625 full-color illustrations. Volume 1: Peter Koch Printer: Embodied Language and the Form of the Book. A Descriptive Bibliography [1974-2016] This volume includes: critical essays by Mark Dimunation, Chief of the Rare Book and Special Collections Division, Library of Congress, and Timothy D. Murray, Head, Special Collections, University of Delaware Library; an interview with Koch by Roberto G. Trujillo, Assistant University Librarian and Director of Special Collections, Stanford University; and a descriptive bibliography by Nina M. Schneider, Rare Books Librarian, William Andrews Clark Memorial Library. Volume 2: Hard Words: Memory and Death in the Wild West. This volume documents Koch's "Western Suite," which consists of three portfolio editions, two books, and two installation/exhibitions dedicated to themes of exploration and the subsequent destruction of the American West. The two volumes, Liber Ignis and The Lost Journals of Sacajewea, are fully illustrated in facsimile. Two exhibition/portfolios, Hard Words and Nature Morte, are presented in their entirety. The editions and commentaries are accompanied by a lengthy critical essay, "The Minotaur and the River," by novelist and scholar Aaron Parrett. Volume 3: Against Design: an Interview with Peter Rutledge Koch Introduction by Russell Maret. In this volume, which focuses on the typographic design and letterpress printing that issued from the Koch studios over more than four decades, graphic designers and educators Monique Comacchio and Camden Richards interview Koch about his printing practice and thoughts on typography and design. The result is an exploration of ideas related to material literacy and the art of printing as a philosophical practice. Against Design is generously illustrated with examples of Koch's bibliophilic, typographic, and cowboy surrealist ephemera. "Letterpress was once a useful craft, like carpentry or thatching. This did not prevent determined and talented people from raising it to an art and enriching the lives of humans for centuries after. In the present world, the vital craft of letterpress has surrendered nearly all its practical functions - but art still runs uphill, as it always has. So letterpress printers continue to sort themselves, inescapably, into the artists and the others. It's in the nature of the craft. "Peter Koch is an artist among printers. He knows the tradition, all the way back. He also knows it as far forward as anyone can. As a master practitioner of an ancient art, he has joined forces repeatedly with those who are chipping away at the technological frontier, and with others who persevere in the most demanding manual crafts. He engages, as great printers always have, in collaborations with master papermakers, printmakers, wood engravers, punchcutters, binders, and others who make the book what it is: a rich and varied but private and portable theater that nourishes and unifies the body and the mind." - Robert Bringhurst.

Description
16mo (4 1/4" x 6 1/2"), red cloth, gilt title on top cover and spine, illustrated with maps, 554 pp. Spine faded, Slight extremity wear, hinges a little cracked, corners bumped, large folding map with sizeable tear on stub sheet, a couple of other maps with out of place folds, and small tears, some aging and browning; otherwise about very good. Karl Baedeker (1801-1959) was born in Essen, and attended Heidelberg University. His family was involved in the publishing and bookselling business, and around 1828 he entered the travel guide business. Baedeker created a different kind of travel book that opened up tourism for a new class of travelers, by guiding the tourist to the principal attractions in a country or area. This information was often edited by Baedeker himself, and sons would take over and expand the business after his death. This edition is in German and provides considerable information on the country, and major cities. ODB
