A propos de cet article

Complete in five volumes. Matching set is bound in full calf leather. Covers are plain. Hubbed spines are heavily ornamented in gilt and five raised bands with red and green leather labels. Volume I frontispiece is a black and white engraving of author Conyers Middleton. Predominantly written in English with some Greek, Hebrew and Latin throughout. On a shelf, this set spans 6 inches. Conyers Middleton (1683-1750), was an English clergyman best known for his work "Life of Cicero". Even though he was highly regarded as one of the best stylists in English during the period, his success was fraught by controversy and disputes. Middleton's tone and personality comes through in his writing within this set. A fascinating individual indeed. - VOLUME I: "A Free Inquiry into the Miraculous Powers Which are Supposed to Have Subsisted in the Christian Church, From the Earliest Ages through Several Successive Centuries." cxix, [1] 121-147 pp. Includes Dr. Middleton's Letters to Mr. Warburton at the back. Also includes an unpaginated catalog of Middleton's works along with an advertisement.

XXIX, [1] 31-456 pp. - VOLUME III: Contents include: "A Letter to Dr. Waterland", "A Defense of the Letter to Dr. Waterland", "Some Remarks on a Reply to the Defense of the Letter to Dr. Waterland", "Remarks on some Observations", "Remarks, Paragraph by Paragraph, upon the Proposals lately published by Richard Bentley", "Some farther Remarks, Paragraph by Paragraph, upon Proposals", and "A Table of some of our Editor's apparent Contradictions and false Assertions observed in the foregoing Remarks". 468 pp. - VOLUME IV: Contents include: "Oratio de novo Physiologiae explicandae munere ex celeberrimi Woodwardi Testamento instituto", " De Latinarium literarum pronunciatione Dissertatio", "Bibliotheca Cantabrigiensis ordinandae methodus quaedam; quam Domino Procancellario Senatuique Academico considerandam & perficiendam officii et pietatis ergo propnit", "De Medicorum apud veteres Romanos degentium conditione Dissertatio; contra viros celeberrimos Jac.

Description de la boutique

Since 2005, Shelley and Son Books has been passionate about books, and preserving their importance for current and future generations. We believe that virtue and beauty have a close relationship. By reading we gain knowledge. In knowledge we find things that inform our choices and beliefs. Therefore, as booksellers, we see that books have an aesthetic value and a heuristic value. We specialize in The Inklings, primarily "The Seven'": C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, Dorothy Sayers, G. K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, Owen Barfield and Charles Williams. A sub-specialty is our significant collection of Christian Theology. But you'll also find works across the centuries, first editions, signed copies, and even modern books, too, across a broad selection of categories and genres. Customer service is of utmost importance to us, and our friendly staff is always happy to help. We assure our clients books of quality, as each copy is carefully graded and shipped with care. Located in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina, we can be found on Main Street in Hendersonville, North Carolina, (just south of Asheville). We are primarily an online bookstore, but we invite you to make an appointment for an on-site visit! Shelley and Son Books is owned by Stan Shelley. …
