Description
Summary:The first two lists are "Yearly Payments into the Receipt of Exchequer on all the Several Branches of the Customs from Michaelmas 1679 to Christmas 1710" and "Payments into the Exchequer for prohibited uncustomed and forfeited goods Annually from Christmas 1701." * Forest Books in England sold to the University of Pennsylvania an unrecorded edition of Conjugal Love and Duty: A Discourse upon Hebrews xiii.4. The title page has Waters's large woodcut of a phoenix facing left, the same ornament used by Waters on the title page of The Whigs Title to be the Sole Favourites Examin'd (Dublin: Printed by E. Waters, 1714) and on pp. iv, 200, 393, and 450 of Cornelius Nary's A New History of the World (D: by E. Waters, 1720). * Most noteworthy in Quaritch's summer's list is the manuscript "Catalogue of Books in the Library at Lund Church," that is, All Saints in East-Riding, Yorkshire, 161 pp. 8vo, "the first 130 pages in a single clear, legible hand (probably that of Sir Thomas Remington...), finished in two hands, plus c. 16 pages of legal transcripts relating to Remington . . . preserved in a contemporary binding of limp vellum, . . . ownership inscription of the artist, antiquary, and Cambridge librarian Thomas Kerrick [1748-1828]," with some correspondence related to Kerrick. Quaritch reproduces several pages of the inventory and offers a detailed analysis of the library's holdings, providing such totals as thirty-nine works of law, ninety-nine of mathematics, 241 of medicine, science, and astrology, and 338 of history; other fields include travel, literature, and modern foreign languages, and examples are given of individual titles. * Rulon-Miller Books of Minnesota has listed a volume with unrecorded editions of two school texts:
