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.

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.

He was a well-trained scholar and devoted years to searching for manuscripts. Although humanism was far advanced, he, nevertheless, discovered numerous works of classical authors of which he issued first editions. His editions of Greek and Latin works are remarkable for their accuracy and textual criticism. MOUNT BX9

Manilius, Marcus; Cellarius, Christoph; Fabricius, Johann... MARCI MANILII ASTRONOMICON...
Excudebat Josephus Cominus, Patavii (Padua): 1743. 1743, Hardcover Very Good Full Title: MARCI MANILII ASTRONOMICON; Ex optimis quas adhuc habemus Editionibus repraesentatum. Accessere Christophori Cellarii Rudimenta astronomica ad interpretandos Poetas aliosque veteres Scriptores accommodata. David Gregorius de Stellarum Ortu, & Occasu Poetico; et Julius Pontedera De Manilii Astronomia, & Anno Caelesti. pp. xxviii [Life of Manilius by Fabricus], 199 (1), (4)[Publisher's advertisements in Italian]. Illustrated with attractive printer's devices and an odd typographic diagram. Latin text. Small 8vo. 181 mm. XLib. Aside from several old Catholic library stamps, the text is really quite clean. Later vellum backed boards binding. Marcus Manilius (fl. 1st century A.D.) was a Roman poet, astronomer, and astrologer who is most famous for this work: 'Astronomica'. Little is known about him, The poem itself implies that the writer lived under Augustus or Tiberius and that he was a citizen of and resident in Rome. According to Richard Bentley, he was an Asiatic Greek; according to F. Jacob, an African. His work is one of great learning; he had studied his subject in the best writers, and generally represents the most advanced views of the ancients on astronomy and astrology. Manilius frequently imitates Lucretius, whom he resembles in earnestness and originality and in the power of enlivening the dry bones of his subject. Although his diction presents some peculiarities, the style is metrically correct. Firmicus, who wrote in the time of Constantine, exhibits so many points of resemblance with the work of Manilius that he must either have used him or have followed some work that Manilius also followed. The astrological systems of Houses, linking human affairs with the circuit of the Zodiac have evolved over the centuries, but they make their first appearance in Astronomicon. Two manuscripts of Astronomicon made in the 10th & 11th centuries lay hidden in monasteries, one at Gembloux in Brabant (now in Brussels) and another that has come to rest in the library at Leipzig. The unknown text was rediscovered by the humanist Poggio Bracciolini somewhere not very far from Constance, during a break in the sessions of the Council of Constance that he was attending, in 1416 or 1417. The editio princeps of Astronomicon was prepared by the astronomer Regiomontanus (1436-1476), using very corrupted manuscripts, and published in Nuremberg around 1473. Joseph Justus Scaliger, whose edition appeared at Paris in 1579 worked with much better manuscripts. The editor of this edition, Christoph Cellarius (1638-1707) was a German classical scholar who held positions in Weimar and Halle. To him is attributed the term Middle Ages (medium aevum) in 1688. The writer of the 'Vita' of Manilius was Johann Albert Fabricius (1668-1736), a German classical scholar and the greatest of 18th-century bibliographers. Other contributors were: David Gregory (1659-1708), Professor of Mathematics, University of Edinburgh, and Savilian Professor of Astronomy, University of Oxford; and Giulio Pontedera (1688-1757), an Italian scientist.

Early full leather binding, nicely rebacked and repaired about a century ago. Library bookplates on the front pastedown, but no other markings. This is a massive collection of patristic texts, conciliar decrees, and papal pronouncements that touch on all fields of Church discipline. Gratian was born in 12th century Italy. He taught at Bologna, in the monastery of SS. Felix and Nabor. Medieval scholars united him, as a brother, with great contemporaries - Peter Lombard, author of the "Liber Sententiarum"; and Perter Comestor, author of the "Historia Scholastica" - nd the three together seemed to stand as the fathers the canon law, theology, and Biblical history . In any case, he is certainly the true founder of the science of canon law. This edition is closely associated with Pope Gregory XIII (1502-1585), who studied jurisprudence at the University of Bologna as a young man, and at an early age became a doctor of canon and of civil law. Later, he taught jurisprudence there, and had among his pupils the famous future cardinals, Alessandro Farnese, Cristoforo Madruzzi, Otto Truchsess von Waldburg, Reginald Pole, Carlo Borromeo, and Stanislaus Hosius.

He began his studies at Louvain and went to Paris for his philosophical and theological studies. After receiving the doctorate in theology (1506) he was appointed professor at the Sorbonne. In 1515 he was asked to direct the studies of Louis Guillard, the Bishop-elect of Tournai, and four years later accompanied him to his seat there. After a short stay, he returned to Paris, and in 1527 to Chartres, whither Guillard had been transferred. He took an active part in the Council of Sens, convoked at Paris by Cardinal Duprat, and he gathered in a volume the various arguments brought forward against the Protestants. A champion of reform in philosophical and theological studies during the earlier part of his life. He devoted himself later almost exclusively to combating the doctrines of Luther, and was perhaps the first author of prominence to do so in France. His works are numerous and belong to almost every department of theology and philosophy. He began with commentaries on many Aristotelean treatises: logic, natural philosophy, ethics, arithmetic, and geometry. He also wrote studies on several books of Holy Scripture, edited and commented the writings of some of the Fathers and Doctors of the Church. RARE.

Roderick H. Martin, University of Virginia, wrote a paper "Madness in the Casuistry of Friedrich Balduin" which examined the 'Tractatus de Casibus Conscientiae' for insight into the history of perceptions of madness in early modern Germany. He explains that Balduin was the first Lutheran theologian to write a treatise of casuistry, or the science of applying general or universal rules to particular ethical conundrums. He was also the first Protestant to treat magic and witchcraft, possession and obsession, melancholy and apparitions, as cases of conscience. Only Robert Burton's 'Anatomy of Melancholy' (ca. 1621) treated such issues on a comparable scale. Scholars can learn about the intellectual and religious life of the early seventeenth century examining the concepts Balduin deployed to discuss such cases of conscience, since he drew on a wide range of scholarly authorities and on issues of everyday life.

Indeed, Madison, as the official primarily responsible for the administration's foreign policy, emerged from behind the scenes in 1808 to succeed Jefferson as the fourth President of the United States. The embargo had devastated the U.S. and the New England states spoke of open secession from the Union. The Federalists, convinced they would ride national outrage to victory were disappointed when Madison defeated Charles C. Pinckney. Madison's nomination for a second term came just fifteen days prior to his War Message to Congress, listing American grievances against Britain. Congress voted the United States into the War of 1812, largely guaranteeing Madison's reelection. Brice, the Deputy Collector of Customs of the Port of Baltimore, issued this important work to codify and explain the state of the law in the wake of the end of the War of 1812 and the termination of the controversial Embargo and Non-Importation acts.

Chez Gandouin, a la belle Image, sur le Quai des Augustins, Paris: 1732. 1735, Hardcover Very Good pp. 401, [5]. Text in French and Latin, with French footnotes. 16 mo. in 8's. 171 x 100 mm. Some foxing. Contemporary French full leather binding, worn. This collection of "disputations" was a conscious attempt by Cicero to bring to the average educated Roman the essential practical insights of Greek philosophers of various schools. Cicero, besides his considerable career in public life as an orator, lawyer and politician, was a life-long student and dilettante of philosophy, and had studied in Greece with some of the main teachers of his time. The disputations cover: Fear of Death; Endurance of Pain; Alleviation of Distress; Disorders of the Soul; The Sufficiency of Virtue for a Happy Life. They are supposedly based upon conversations which Cicero says he had with a friend on five consecutive days at his vacation home in Tusculum. It is the great Roman compilation of Greek moral philosophy. This French language edition was considered the very best translation of it's day. Quite scarce.
