Book of Common Prayer; Holy Bible; Psalms
Cambridge Cambridge University Press 1784 Full Calf Poor No Jacket 8vo
Unpaginated, but just over 2.5 inches wide. This had a heavy leather binding with buckles (now worn off) . The front cover has come away from the book; it is inscribed by Ann Hill 'her book' on Jan 1 1801. and then has subsequent family marriages and births noted in it. The version of the book of common prayer dates from 1784, the bible from 1795 and the Psalms from 1797. Some more inked annotation within the book, including what appear to be the lyrics of a folk tune. One the cover can be faintly read the names of two church wardens, Wm Thomson and Jn Baker, presumably the recipients of this gift from Sr John Fenner (though how it then got to Ann Hill is another question). Contents are good bar a bit of wear to back pages where the straps would have pushed against them.

A Presbyter of the Suffering Church of Scotland A Treatise of Infallibility, Showing That the Church of Rome's Claim to That High Privilege is Without Foundation in Scripture, Antiquity, or Reason. In answer to a Paper on That Subject By a Popish Missionary
Edinburgh W. Gordon 1752 First Edition Full Calf Fair 8vo
300pp. There's really nothing like venting your spleen, is there? Here the mightily hacked-off Presbyter sets a couple of things straight - in addition there are some 'Animadversions on a Book, entituled 'The Shortest Way to End Disputes about Religion', and upon that Author's way of reasoning'. The text is very good, very clean and the binding's good and tight. However, the calf-covered boards appear to be slightly different sizes, so it's not possible to stand the book upright! And the top inch of the spine has been considerably eaten away, to the page edge, with some other minor damage elsewhere. Title label is mostly extant, with title fully legible.

Abbot, Charles D.; Wyeth, N. C. Howard Pyle. A Chronicle
New York and London Harper & Brothers, Publishers 1925 First Edition Cloth Fair Poor Small 4to Pyle, Howard
250pp. 38 b&w and 7 colour illustrations (most of these are full-page plates, some of the b&w are in-text illustrations). Very nicely typeset, in a slightly folksy American style. A lot of lightish foxing to colour frontispiece and title page, some lighter foxing immediately before and after. A few spots of light foxing in the text and along the fore-edge and a tiny bit of grubbying to very bottom corner, but otherwise nice and bright. Grey paper jacket quite grubbied and very chipped along the head, with some losses and is a bit speckled; spine is a tad rolled. Affectionate biography of the man who was not only founder of the school at Wilmington and teacher to artists such as N. C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, Jessie Wilcox Smith and Frank E. Schoonover, but also one of America's best-loved illustrators.
