Presented in a Summary of Divine Truths, consenting with the Faith profess’d by the Church of England. Confirmed 1337.53 CAD Collation:*4 A4 a4 [1] B-O4 Text within frame, ornamental chapter headers and several initials. Contemporary ink inscription to verso of title ‘Will Legge 1652. A Legge’. Rebacked in calf, with blindstamped ornaments and red morocco label with gilt lettering and decorations. Corners repaired to same style, with blindstamped decorations, original covers preserved, with double gilt ruling, scuffed and cracked, original gilt corner ornaments maintained on back cover. The first edition of this popular proto-Anglican loyalist text, which was reprinted extensively until the early eighteenth century. Robert Mossom (1617-1679) studied at Magdalene College and Peterhouse, Cambridge, where he graduated with a BA and MA. He went on to officiate at York and preach to the troops under the command of Sir George Wentworth at the siege of Pontefract in 1644. Later moving to St Peter Paul’s Wharf in London, his congregation included members of the nobility an d gentry, and was regularly targeted for harassment by the military for his continued use of the banned Book of Common Prayer. The publication of this work around that time, led him to fall victim to the wave of repress ion which followed the abortive royalist risings of 1655, suffering ejection and having to keep a school, but continuing to write and publish his doctrine. After the Restoration, he was appointed dean of Christ Church, Dublin and became the Bishop of Derry from 1666 until his death. Provenance Book from the library of William Legge (1607/8–1670), the eldest son of Edward Legge (d. 1616), vice-president of Munster. William was a royalist army officer and politician, known for his loyalty to King Charle s I during the English Civil War. He participated in major battles, including the capture of Cirencester and the siege of Gloucester, as well as aiding i n Charles I’s escape. He later held several prestigious positions, including Master of the Armoury, Groom of the Bedchamber and Lieutenant of Ordnance.

At the Request of the Officers of the Third [Signed] A Sermon On the Present Situation of American affairs. Preached in Christ-Church, June 23, 1775. At the Request of the Officers of the Third 685.18 CAD First edition, Adams 196b. Octavo in 4s (7 5/8"" x 4 3/4"", 194mm x 120mm): binder's blank, ?4 A-D4, binder's blank [$2 signed]. 20 leaves, pp. [4] (title, blank, publication order, blank), i ii-iv (4pp. preface), 1 2-32. Bound in modern red buckram. Author, title and imprint gilt to the spine. Some rubbing to the extremities. A little bowed. Internally moderately but evenly tanned, with occasional foxing or soiling. Blue ""DUPLICATE"" ink-stamp twice to the title-page and an oval blue (library) ink-stamp to the verso of the title-page. Two faint graphite side-lines. The Rev. William Smith (1727-1803) was a towering figure in Colonial Philadelphia who is often forgotten because of his somewhat Loyalist tendencies. He began as professor of ethics at the Academy of Philadelphia. With the establishment of the College of Philadelphia -- forerunner to the University of Pennsylvania -- he became its first provost (he also kept his ethics chair; teaching for four decades) and eventually sat on its board of trustees as its secretary and finally its president. True to the principles of the U. of Pennsylvania, he welcomed students of all faiths despite his Anglicanism. It was in his pastoral capacity that he delivered the sermon whose text appears in the present volume. John Cadwalader, Colonel of the 3rd Battalion -- later General and commander of Pennsylvania troops under Washington -- himself a Quaker, records the approbation of the officers of the battalion, who asked that it be published in the hope that ""it will promote the Cause of Liberty and Virtue"" (?2r). Taking as his starting-point Joshua 22:22, Rev. Smith characterizes America as the settlement on the far side of the Jordan River, which, after strife with the other tribes of Israel, came eventually to live separately but in harmony and alliance with them. It is for this sort of appeasement -- to borrow a term from a later war -- that Smith was sporadically maligned during and after the War of Independence. The Sermon in this original form, published in Philadelphia and not London, as later printings were, is a touchstone of the final days in which a bloodless settlement of the question of colonialism seemed possible. The pamphlet ran to fifteen issues in 1775; this is one of the two first (Adams 196a and 196b), between which there is no established priority. Adams 196b; Evans 14459; Hildeburn 3288; Sabin 84651.

Contemporary paneled calf (expertly rebacked to style), gilt lettering piece. Occasional touch of mild foxing, else a fine, crisp, amply-margined copy. First edition of this remarkable collection, modeled on a work of Hugo Grotius with the same title, including the transcription of an epistolary debate between the Dutch theologian, Phillip van Limborch (1633-1712) and the Jewish scholar, Isaac Orobio de Castro (ca.1617-1687). Jonathan Israel views the work as ""a key exemplum of the new 'enlightened' method of upholding Christianity."" Limborch was a leading Dutch theologian aligned with the Arminians, and professor in the Seminary of the Remonstrants at Amsterdam. Orobio de Castro had been Professor of Theology at Salamanca who was imprisoned by the Inquisition on account of his sympathy with the Jews of Spain. He fled the country, going first to France and then to Holland, where he abjured Christianity, and became deeply involved in the philosophico-religious controversies in the Low Countries. In the present work, Limborch publishes three letters written by Orobio de Castro, along with his own detailed responses. In arguing against the ""truth"" of the Christian religion ""Orobio retorted that the advent of Christ has done nothing to render mankind less sinful or to lessen suffering, that the rise of Christianity, far from being unparalleled, was surpassed by the expansion of Islam. and that far from being unchallengeable, Christ's miracles had not been performed publicly, like the miracle at Mount Sinai, but virtually in secret, a circumstance which renders them entirely dubious. These responses and his further claims that the New Testament is unreliable, providing no basis for trust in Christ's miracles, since the text exists only in Greek, a language neither Jesus nor the Apostles had the slightest knowledge of. made no impact on Limborch, Le Clerc, or Locke, who were convinced of their triumph over Orobio. Nevertheless, Orobio's arguments were fully and objectively reported in the text, and subsequently widely read across Europe, and some of those who read it were not so sure that Orobio was 'vanquished'. Boulainvilliers, who meticulously examined the text, concluded that Limborch's arguments were less securely grounded on reason than he and his allies supposed and that, even without their realizing it, it was Orobio who won the contest, a verdict echoed in other anti-Christian clandestine philosophical literature of the early eighteenth century"" (Israel). Edited from a manuscript formerly in the possession of the Leiden professor of theology, Simon Episcopius, and now in the University Library Amsterdam, the Exemplar Humanae Vitae is the autobiography of the Portuguese Jew, Uriel da Costa (ca.1585-1640), who was excommunicated from the Sephardi Jewish community of...

Narrative of Sojourner Truth; A Bondswoman of Olden Time; Emancipated by the New York Legislature in the Early Part of the Present Century; with a Hi Narrative of Sojourner Truth; A Bondswoman of Olden Time; Emancipated by the New York Legislature in the Early Part of the Present Century; with a Hi 8285.18 CAD 8vo. [5], vi-xi, [1], 13-320, [2] pp. Brown publisher's cloth with a portrait of Truth in gold on the front board, borders in blind on each board, the portrait in blind on the rear board, gold lettering and gold decoration on the spine. With a frontispiece of Truth (with a tissue guard). Errata slip tipped in after the copyright page. With a preface by the abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison. The ""Book of Life"" with its own fly-title. The first edition of this work was published in 1850, a second edition was done in 1853, this is the third overall edition but the first enlarged, expanded edition (the material in the ""Book of Life"" was added to this edition to supplement the shorter biography printed in 1850 and 1853). The initial biography in this work was dictated by Truth to her friend Olive Gilbert. Blockson 29. Truth's famous ""Ain't I a Woman"" speech from 1851 is printed here, along with several direct quotations from her. The book provides a thorough history of Truth's struggles: being born into slavery, growing up enslaved, and eventually escaping to freedom. In 1828 she went to the New York state court to win back custody of her son Peter and became the first Black woman to win a lawsuit against a white man in the United States. Truth spent the rest of her life preaching, speaking out against slavery, speaking in favor of women's rights, and speaking on behalf of the temperance movement. She was a legendary orator and deeply moved those who heard her cries for the right to vote, to work, and to live a dignified life. Truth regarded the idea of women as delicate creatures to be nonsense and she herself traveled the country preaching at a breakneck pace: she was a regular at camp meetings outside New York City for several years, until she dedicated her energies to helping the Union in the U.S. Civil War. For years after the war Truth assisted with the Freedmen's Bureau, and fought segregation in Washington D.C. street cars (this work is also recorded here). Her unending dedication to a better world for working women, especially working-class Black women, is recorded here in this book. She was an outspoken advocate for these women in the nascent stages of the women's suffrage movement. This work is a shining example of resilience, determination, and sheer grit in the nineteenth-century United States. The corners of the boards a bit rubbed, a small piece of the crown and the foot of the spine rubbed away, light offsetting on the half-title page from a small floral decoration. With the name of a man from Plymouth, Michigan on the front pastedown, written in pencil and dated 1877. Third edition overall (First revised and expanded edition).
