The front joint is split, but neatly repaired with archival quality acid-free binding glue. The back joint is starting, but is likewise repaired. Corners bumped and rubbed through. In spite of the flaws, the binding and the text are both quite bright. A nice example of the bookbinder’s art.

La Sainte Bible, Qui Contient Le Vieux et le Nouveau Testament; Revue Sur Les Origineaux par David Martin
NY La Societe Biblique Americaine 1839 Full-Leather Good No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
819pp. + 261pp. Stated 1st Edition, but our research uncovered an earlier American printing of this translation by Martin. Bound in contemporary full leather (calf) with leather spine label. Printed in double columns. Not in Darlow and Moule. Of special interest are six pages of penciled notes by Rev. E. Cushman, dated July 14, 1850, on the last blank pages of this Bible titled "On Prest. Taylor's Death". These notes appear to consist of a eulogy delivered on the Sunday after President Zachary Taylor's death became public. It is mostly typical of sermonic eulogizing upon the death of a national leader, but Cushman does note the scrutiny that the president and his advisors had come under. Taylor only served 18 months of his term when he appears to have died from some form of food poisoning or cholera on July 9, 1850. Taylor was only the second president to have died in office at this point. Indecipherable period ownership inscription on the front free endpaper. Bookplate remnants on front pastedown. Foxed. Corners bumped and rubbed through. Spine ends worn. Spine blackened, presumably from a fire. Front joint starting at the bottom.

371pp. + 13pp. ads. Original maroon cloth, titles and decoration stamped in gilt. Floral patterned endpapers with gilt overlay. According to Reed in his Jehovah’s Witness Literature, “It claims parallels between the harvest of the Jewish age (A.D. 29 to A.D. 70) and the harvest of the gospel age (A.D. 1874 to A.D. 1915). These supposed parallels are used to argue that Christ returned invisibly in 1874 and began exercising kingdom power in 1878, that the heavenly calling terminated in 1881” and that Armageddon would take place in 1914 (31-32). No previous ownership inscriptions. The silver decoration is beginning to flake, but is mostly intact. Corners bumped. A bright copy. The Eborn Books price guide lists this edition in the $25-$30 range.

The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments: Newly Translated out of the Original Tongues: and with the Former Translations Diligently Compared and Revised
Oxford John Baskett 1736 Contemporary Full Leather Very Good No Jacket 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall
Unpaginated + Index + Tables of Scripture Measures, Weight and Coins (by R.R. Richard, Lord Bishop of Peterborough, 6pp.). The New Testament, also printed by Baskett, is dated 1735. Contemporary full leather, subtly blind stamped with dentelle and solid rule. Rebacked, with five raised bands and the title stamped in gilt. Extra-illustrated with twenty engravings, dated 1813-1816, published by Brightley & Co. (Bungay). These are self-described as "frontispieces" for various books of the Bible. The engravings are executed mostly by John Neagle, but J.W. Walker also contributed and one plate by "Edwards." Most of the plates are of paintings by Shepperson, but also include two by Rubens, one by M. Angilo, one by Coregio, and one by Vandyk. We're not able to locate any copies of a Bible listed for sale (or otherwise) online that is illustrated with this suite of plates. This edition includes Sternhold & Hopkins' The Whole Book of Psalms, Collected into English Meter (London: A. Wilde, 1735.) and The Book of Common Prayer (Baskett, 1736). This edition also includes the Apocrypha. This particular combination is not listed in either Herbert or Darlowe & Moule.A nice example of an 18th Century Bible from the Great Awakening. Jonathan Edwards was in the midst of the beginning of the Awakening (the Northampton, MA revival began in 1733-34). John and Charles Wesley sailed for America in 1735. George Whitefield was converted in 1735 and took the lead of the Wesley's "Holy Club" while they sailed to Georgia.Ownership inscription of H.J. Golding on the title page (not obtrusive). The text, although closely shaved at the top edge, is quite clean and unmarked. The first leaf (A2) of Matthew has been repaired with either two tiny contemporary, or early 19th century, cloth tape adhesives. Corners bumped and rubbed through. Front joint beginning to crack at the bottom. Bottom end of spine has a small chip from the bottom edge. A handsome copy of an unrecorded edition.

The Testament of the Twelve Patriarchs, the Sons of Jacob…to Which are Added Derivations Chiefly from the Hebrew, and Explanations of Several Proper Names Occurring in this Work by a Professor of Hebrew
London Reprinted for James Frost and Joseph and Isaac Frost by R. Feeny 1837 Reprint Contemporary Full Leather Very Good No Jacket 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Signed by Publisher
162pp. + 42pp. Bound in contemporary full leather with leather spine label. Translated by Robert Grotshead. This copy appears to be James Frost’s copy, bearing his signature and the date 1841 on the front pastedown. This work comes from a 13th Greek manuscript in the collection at Cambridge University, and printed in Latin in 1693. There is some evidence from the church fathers that this work existed in some form as early as the 2nd Century because of references in Origen, Jerome and Tertullian. Some scholars find some similarities to writings found with the Dead Sea Scrolls, but there is no consensus as to whether they are one and the same. The work purports to be the dying prophecies of the 12 sons of Jacob, which refer to the destruction of the Temple in 70 A.D. and to Jesus Christ. The book also refers to the Book of Enoch, another apocryphal work. Corners bumped and rubbed, but not rubbed through. Some surface scuffs to the leather. Some foxing.

(Babcock, Maltbie Davenport) Bushnell, Horace The Character of Jesus Forbidding His Possible Classification with Men
NY Charles Scribner's Sons 1900 Reprint Original Cloth Near Fine No Jacket 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall
87pp. Original two tone cloth (two shades of olive green) with the spine lettering stamped in gilt. The bookplate of Maltbie Davenport Babcock (1858-1901) appears on the front pastedown. Babcock was a well respected Presbyterian preacher who graduated from Syracuse University and began pastoring in Lockport, NY. While he was there, he wrote the popular hymn, "This is My Father's World", which was not published until a volume of his poems appeared shortly after his death. Due to his popularity as a communicator, Babcock was later given an honorary doctorate from Syracuse University. This book was found in a village just a few miles from Syracuse. He is buried in Oakwood Cemetery in Syracuse. Babcock died unexpectedly in 1901 while on a trip to the Holy Land. He had contracted brucellosis. This is an unusual opportunity to own a book from his library, which he received just one year before his death while pastoring the prestigious Brick Presbyterian Church in New York City (he succeeded Henry Van Dyke). Extremities gently rubbed but not rubbed through.

(Hodge, J.A.) Moll, Carl Bernhard The Psalms
NY Scribner, Armstrong & Co. 1872 Reprint Original Cloth Fair No Jacket Association Copy 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
815pp. Original brown cloth, elaborately stamped in blind. Spine lettering stamped in gilt. Part of the Lange’s Commentary series. This copy bears the inscription and signature of J. A. (Aspinwall) Hodge on the front free endpaper, son of Charles Hodge, who co-authored The System of Theology Contained in the Westminster Shorter Catechism Opened and Explained with his brother A.A. Hodge. The Hodge family was perhaps the predominant theological influence on the Calvinism of Princeton Theological Seminary in the 19th century. Charles Hodge authored one of the greatest commentaries on Romans by an American, as well as the important Systematic Theology which had a huge impact on an entire generation of students at Princeton. In fact, the theology is still in print today. Charles’ sons pastored influential churches and wrote theological monographs. This is an unusual opportunity to obtain a volume from one of the theological libraries in this prestigious American theological family. Most of the backstrip on this volume is gone. Corners bumped and rubbed through. Small bookseller ticket on the back pastedown.

Allen, Miss A.J. Thrilling Adventures, Travels and Explorations of Doctor Elijah White Among the Rocky Mountains and in the Far West. With Incidents of Two Sea Voyages via Sandwich Islands Around Cape Horn…
NY J.W. Yale 1859 Reprint Full Leather Good No Jacket Ex-Library 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall
430pp. Bound in original leather (calf) and the spine rebacked with a 20th century library cloth. Frontispiece portrait of the Doctor and Mrs. White (woodcut). Ex-library, withdrawn from the Syracuse University Library. Originally published under the title, “Ten Years in Oregon” (1848). According to Wright Howes, White was a, “…fervent Presbyterian missionary and political propagandist.” This book, “…describes his trip out, in 1842, and back, in 1845, as well as his part in the civic organization of Oregon” (New Howes A131). The first edition of this work appears to be a bit more common than this later edition. At the very least, it is not offered for sale anywhere else online. Howes lists this edition “with altered title” as an “a” item. Bookplate on the front pastedown indicates that this volume was given to SU by George Arents, the former president of SU’s Board of Trustees and a noted bibliophile whose collection on tobacco is still highly regarded and housed at the NY Public Library. For more on Arents’ book collecting activities, see Nicholas Basbanes’ “A Gentle Madness”, pages 355-357. Front hinge cracked. Binding beginning to pull away from the text block. Corners bumped and heavily rubbed through. Some foxing.
