Called the "father of German Pietism" he is also considered the most significant mystic inLutheranism next to Jakob Boehme and Valentin Weigel. His 'Wahres Christentum' is an edifying reader of meditations and prayers of great emotional warmth. Along with the smaller 'Paradiesgartlein' it was especially popular inMennonite circles. In fact the 'Wahres Christentum' was the most used devotional book in German (and German-American) Mennonite families for over twocenturies. This particular edition is really quite scarce. GER-ABE 1

Grotius, Hugo. THE MOST EXCELLENT HUGO GROTIUS. HIS THREE BOOKS TREATING OF THE RIGHTS OF WAR AND PEACE. In the First is handled, Whether any War be Just. In the Second is shewed, The Causes of War, both Just and Unjust. In the Third is declared, What in War is Lawful;
Printed by M.W. for Thomas Basset. and Ralph Smith, London: 1682. 1682, 1st Edition Hardcover Good pp. xxi [5], 573, [28]. No frontis portrait. Folio. 320 mm. Title-page printed in black and red. Old age stain, Old ownership name inked out. Uncased. First Complete English Edition. Hugo Grotius (Huigh de Groot) [1583-1645], Dutch jurist and humanist, studied at the University of Leiden and became a lawyer when only 15 years old. In Dutch political affairs Grotius supported Oldenbarneveldt against Maurice of Nassau. After Maurice gained power he had Grotius condemned (1619) to prison for life, but Grotius made a daring escape in 1621 and fled to Paris. Caught up in the passions of the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Netherlands and the Thirty Years' War between Catholic and Protestant European nations; it is not surprising that he was deeply concerned with matters of conflicts between nations and religions. Himself a Calvinist, he was a moderate who had many contacts with Catholics and hoped for a reunification of the Christian churches. In Paris, expanding certain views he had earlier recorded but had never published, he wrote 'De jure belli ac pacis' [Concerning the Law of War and Peace] (1625), usually considered the first definitive text on international law. In it Grotius contended that natural law prescribes rules of conduct for nations as well as for private individuals. He derived much of the specific content of international law from the Bible and from classical history. Although he did not condemn war as an instrument of national policy, he maintained that it was criminal to wage war except for certain causes. Much of his book is an attempt to make the conditions of warfare more humane by inducing respect for private persons and their property. Grotius returned briefly to Holland in 1631, but was forced to flee again in 1632. From 1635 to 1645 he represented Sweden at the French court. For a fine article on Grotius, please see the 11th edition Encyclopedia Britannica. This is the First Complete English edition of the great work on War by the founder of international law.

Sheridan, Thomas. ELEMENTS OF ENGLISH. 1786. A Scolar Press Facsimile.
The Scolar Press Limited, Menston, England: 1968. 1968, Hardcover pp. 70, (1). Small 8vo. Original full maroon cloth binding, decorated and lettered in gold. Hardbound. Nice copy. ".by the 1770s the desire to standardise English pronunciation was particularly strong. The middle classes demanded detailed guides to correct language usage. These language guides would enable them to disguise their `vulgar' origins. This demand was met, by the publication of several pronouncing dictionaries. Each dictionary gave an indication, by the use of phonetic respelling, of the `correct' pronunciation of words. Ironically, one of the greatest contributors to this effort was the `provincial' Thomas Sheridan (1719-1788). He was an Irishman, whose father had been a teacher and a friend of Jonathan Swift. The elder Sheridan had wanted his son to pursue a career in teaching. Instead, upon his graduation from Trinity College in 1743, Thomas Sheridan took to the stage and became a professional actor and theatre manager. He appeared in various roles at Smock Alley in Dublin and at Covent Garden in London. Despite his relative success in these endeavours, Sheridan eventually left the stage and, beginning in 1756, sought a new career as an elocutionist. His extensive experience as a professional actor enabled him to master the difficult art of speaking and this was a skill he was determined to promote amongst his countrymen." PALOC 73

(Mason, William). CARACTACUS, A DRAMATIC POEM: Written on the Model of The Ancient Greek Tragedy. By the Author of Elfrida.
Printed for J. Knapton. and R. & J. Dodsley, London: 1759. 1759, 1st Edition Hardcover 95 p. Lacks half-title. Title page printed in red and black. 4to. 250mm. Old leather backed marbled boards binding, worn and broken at joints. XLib. Still a fairly clean, wide margined copy of the First Edition of this interesting work. William Mason (1725-1797) was an English poet, editor, and miscellaneous writer. Born in Hull, he studied at St John's College, Cambridge. After his ordination in 1754 he held a number of posts in the church. Mason was also a great friend of the poet Thomas Gray, who said that he read the manuscript "not with pleasure but with emotion." "Mason was a man of considerable abilities and cultivated taste, who naturally mistook himself for a poet." - DNB. Caratacus, the First British Hero, was the King of the Catuvellauni at the time of the Roman invasion under their commander, Aulus Plautius. He became one of the leaders of an anti-Roman campaign that managed to resist the invaders for a period of nearly nine years. Some investigators have come to the conclusion that Caratacus is the historic original for King Arthur. In any case the true history of his tale makes for as interesting study as does his legend.
