His mother remarried or took up with another man when James was about six years of age. She abandoned her young son and he was forced to go to the Meath Protestant Industrial School for Boys. The Meath School was cruel and harsh and he ran away to live in the streets or live with families that took to the likely boy. In 1905 'The Greatest Miracle' was published by Arthur Griffith in The United Irishman. Griffith became good friends with Stephens and published his works in his magazine know as the Sinn Fein. From 1905-1910, Stephens attended Gaelic League classes and become involved with political meetings.

Some margins trimmed closely. Plain 19th century German marbled paper boards binding. Frischlin, Philipp Nikodemus (1547-1590), German philologist and poet whose prolific and versatile genius produced a great variety of works, which entitle him to some rank both among poets and among scholars. He was born at Balingen in Wurttemberg, where his father was parish minister. He was educated at the University of Tubingen, where in 1568 he was promoted to the chair of poetry and history. In 1575 for his comedy of Rebecca, which he read at Regensburg before the Emperor Maximilian II, he was rewarded with the laureateship, and in 1577 he was made a Count Palatine (comes Palatinus) or Pfalzgraf. In 1582 his unguarded language and reckless life made it necessary that he should leave Tubingen, and he accepted a mastership at Laibach in Carniola, which he held for about two years. Shortly after his return to the university in 1584, he was threatened with a criminal prosecution on a charge of immoral conduct, and the threat led to his withdrawal to Frankfort-on-Main in 1587. For eighteen months be taught in the Brunswick gymnasium, and he appears also to have resided occasionally at Strassburg, Marburg and Mainz. From the last-named city he wrote certain libellous letters, which led to his being arrested in March 1590. He was imprisoned in the fortress of Hohenurach, near Reutlingen, where, on the night of the 29th of November 1590, he was killed by a fall in attempting to let himself down from the window of his cell. The Facetiae, is a collection of literary anecdotes, observations, jokes, and tales. Here they appear with anecdotes of Heinrich Bebel (including his Latin version of "Ich stund an einem Morgen"); Alfonso of Aragon; the prophecies of Jacob Heinrichmann; and selections from Poggio (1380-1459), whose earthy fables and anticlerical satires established the genre. This early edition is quite scarce. OCLC records only the copy at Duke, and we have located only four additional copies world-wide. EDITIO Small Box 6

Tho. Parkhurst, & J. Robinson, London: 1700. 1700, No Binding Good 63 p. Small 4to. Age stained. Edges trimmed close with slight loss. Disbound. Baxter was an influential English nonconformist clergyman, first ordained in 1638. He sided with Parliament when the Civil War broke out, and served (164516-47) as a chaplain in Cromwell's army, where he urged moderation in both religious and political matters. His most famous work 'The Saints' Everlasting Rest' was publis hed in 1650. At the Restoration, he was chosen by Charles II as one of the Royal Chaplains. He took a leading part at the Savoy Conference (1661), where he tried to provide means that would permit moderate dissenters to stay in the Church of England. He declined an offer of the Bishopric of Hereford, and with the passage of the Act of Uniformity (1662) he left the Church of England. Despite the legalized persecution of nonconformist ministers, Baxter continued to preach. After a brutal trial, he was imprisoned for 18 months on the charge of having libeled the Church of England in his 'Paraphrase of the New Testament.' This present work is extremely scarce.
