London: John Lee, 1843
A pamphlet (once bound in with other pamphlets). Complete. Title page, Introduction, text. The pamphlet now appears disbound, as it has been removed from a collection - but is complete in itself. A touch of darkening to the covers, and a small stain to the bottom of pages 4/5 but otherwise in good clean condition. Now held in an archival wallet. 24 pp. A scarce item, Copac shows holdings only at BL, Oxford & Cambridge. William Joseph Irons (1812-1883) was an Anglican priest and Theolgian. He was a strong defender of Church of England as the Established Church, and argued against seceding from the church (whether to Rome or to the more Protestant churches). He was the vicar of Brompton at the time of the publication of this work, and the introduction is dated Brompton April 1843. He is names by Lawrence Crumb (in "The Oxford Movement and its leaders, a bibliography of Secondary and Lesser Primary Sources") as the probable author of this work.

London William Pickering 1853 Première édition. Une réimpression ornée du livre de prières communes de la reine Élisabeth. Il s'agit d'une réimpression du livre de prières de 1569, mais mise à jour, avec des prières pour la restauration de la famille royale, des prières pour Charles le Martyr et des prières pour la reine Victoria. La reliure ornée est un peu ternie et frottée, mais reste attrayante. L'étiquette est manquante et ne montre donc que l'empreinte. Malheureusement, la page de titre et la gravure frontispice d'Elizabeth manquent également (les deux sont fournies en photocopie). Le livre commence donc par la page de garde. La page de garde est marquée et comporte des crayons de couleur. Sinon, les pages sont propres, mais il y a un peu de noircissement. Hormis la perte du titre, le livre est en bon état. Le dernier feuillet présente quelques taches d'encre. Il semblerait que le livre ait été ré-encadré sans les feuilles manquantes, car il n'y a pas de signe de perte. Porte l'ex-libris de Stephen Lewin de Boston. Peut-être l'architecte et urbaniste de Boston (Lincolnshire). Mary Byfield, de la Chiswick Press, a découpé les blocs de ce livre de prière commune orné et attrayant. Non paginé. a-AA5. 180 x 130 mm.
First edition thus. An ornate reprint of the book of Common Prayer of Queen Elizabeth. This is a reprint of the 1569 prayer book, but brought up to date, with prayers for the Restoration of the Royal Family, Prayers for Charles the Martyr and prayers for Queen Victoria included. The Ornate binding is a little dulled and rubbed, but still attractive. Label lacking, so only shows the imprint. Unfortunately, the title page and frontis engraving of Elizabeth are also lacking (both are supplied in photocopy). The book thus begins with the contents page. The contents page is marked and with crayon. Otherwise the pages are clean, but a touch of darkening. Apart from the loss of title, the book is in decent condition. The final leaf has some ink staining. It would seem that the book has been re-cased without the missing leaves, as there is no sign of loss. Bears the bookplate of Stephen Lewin of Boston. Possibly the architect and town planner from Boston Lincolnshire. Mary Byfield of the Chiswick Press cut the blocks of this ornate and attractive book of Common Prayer. Unpaginated. a-AA5. 180 by 130mm (7 by 5 inches). .

Bookplate of the Law Society to the inside board. Contemporary owner's signature to the half title. Contents to the beginning of volume I. The boards are in excellent condition. The pages of the journals are very clean and tidy, with only a touch of foxing or edge wear to them. The contents are a variety of articles and letters aimed at proving the superiority of the the Protestant Faith over Popish Superstition. There is even an article on Prophecies showing the overthrow of the Roman Church in volume II.
