Hardcover (Full Leather). Etat : Good. A lovely contemporary binding which is now somewhat worn and used but all the more charming for it. The decorative gilt border on both boards is worn and rubbed and the red leather cartouches in the centre of both boards is rather roughly cut into what is supposed to be an oval and the one on the rear was applied to the board upside down. Another nice feature of the book is that on the title page, a printed slip has been attached over 'The Church of England' which reads 'The United Church of England Ireland' suggesting that the book was in used at least until 1800 and the brief union between the two churches. The pages for the order of communion are soiled being both darkened and also splashed with, possibly communion wine (!) in a few places the name of the King has been crossed through and replaced with Victoria, a couple of pages have short tears. The lettering of the signatures doesn't entirely match up but overall the charm and appeal of this copy is originality of both the binding and the usage it has so obviously had as an altar copy.

Leather. Etat : VERY GOOD. 8vo, 8.25 x 5.5'. Contemporary fine binding in Dark Green morocco with gilt-emblazoned red morocco Jesuit insignia (JHS with cross above and three nails below) to both covers, elaborate floral gilt spine inhabited by butterflies and moths, covers ruled in beaded arches, serrated dentelle, all edges gilt, Turkish marbled endpapers of yellow, gray, burgundy and blue. Armorial bookplate of Rob Barker of Halifax. Tables inlaid to A1 lifted from a smaller format edition. Extremities show some rubbing, some loss to head of spine, a few signatures a bit proud, spine somewhat toned; Otherwise very sound and square binding. The Jesuit insignia is significant in light of the suppression following the Papal Bull of 1773, one year following publication. The insignia is not uncommonly seen on BOC of the era, and may reflect a crypto status for Jesuits within the Church of England. [Griffiths 1772, ?4]. …

Hardcover. Etat : Good. [Bound with:] Nicholas Brady & Nahum Tate. A new version of the Psalms of David, fitted to the tunes used in churches. London, printed by H.S. Woodfalls for the Company of Stationers, 1775. 4to (26 x 21 cm). [412]; [52] pp. Contemporary gold-tooled reverse calf, all edges gilt (faded). Some browning. Much of the gold tooling on the binding is gone, edges bumped and damaged. Expertly and inconspicuously rebacked. The front board with the gold-tooled red morocco library label of Moses Benson: Moses Benson 1786. An uncommon and attractive 4to edition of the Book of Common Prayer. From the library of Liverpool slave trader Moses Benson (1738-1806), with his red morocco library label on the front board. In the 1760s, Benson became a captain in the West Indies trade for Abraham Rawlinson, a Lancaster merchant. Benson served as Rawlinson's agent in Jamaica before forming his own trading company. In the West Indies, he acquired a considerable fortune before returning to Liverpool in 1775, where he entered the slave trade. The SlaveVoyages website lists over 80 slave voyages between 1775 and 1806 in which he was involved. It's no surprise, then, that slavery provided much of Liverpool's wealth. Although he continued to live on Kent Street in Liverpool, he invested part of his fortune in a Shropshire estate, Lutwyche Hall, in the 1780s. With Judith Powell, a "free mustee," he had six children, including Ralph Benson (1773-1845), a later member of parliament. Judging from the present book, Benson appears to have combined his slave trading business with Christian teachings. This copy of the Book of Common Prayer is bound with the famous New Version of the Psalms of David by poets Nahum Tate and Nicholas Brady. First published in 1696, their metrical version of the Psalms was very influential; indeed, their version of Psalm 34 is still sung today. ¶ ESTC T81291; for Benson: Richardson, Liverpool and Transatlantic Slavery, passim, but particularly p. 125 ff.; SlaveVoyages website.…

12mo, (143x87mm), [96]p. somewhat soiled throughout, a small piece from the title-page with slight loss from the price, Previous owner's signature of Mary Isherwood on the title verso. Disbound. (ESTC 91926) ETSC locates only 6 copies (5 UK, 1 NA) of this Newbery titles that passed unnoticed in Roscoe's monumental bibliography. Two issues appeared in what is presumed to be the same year, this one has the full work 'University' in the second line of the imprint. The small piece missing from the title notes that the book was published at 3d but now lacks the continuation 'in sheets.' Judging by the evidence of use resulting in the soiling of the text, the early owner perhaps avoided the corruption of 'ungodly songs and ballads.'

The manuscript authors supposes that Mrs Banks must have 'lost no time' in doing so, as she died the morning after, on 11 February 1834. The last record of what may have been its owners dying act, which intimately shows a passage of sermonising being taken from print, to an oral discussion between two women, to its final resting place, pasted to the end of this volume.
