Engraved title. Each page with elaborately illustrated vignette borders. All edges black (very slightly abraded). Finely tooled inner gilt dentelles. Black moire silk doublures (very slightly wrinkled, as usual). Purple silk page marker. 12.5 x 16 cm. Near contemporary, unique Gruel \"Sombre\" full black Niger marocco binding (a pastiche of a Medieval binding). Spine in plain black compartments with raised bands and \"Gruel\" signed in miniscule at the foot (very slightly rubbed). Boards with original black lacquered steel clasp in the form of a Botonee cross with a trefoil design on the ends and 16 small pearls. The trefoil designs represent the three persons of the Godhead (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and the pearls symbolize the drops of Christ's blood, which besprinkled the Cross during the Crucifixion. At the top are two gothic stylised fittings for rings to hold the matching black lacquered steel chain of about 20cm. The chain appears to have historically caused a very small nick on the upper edge. But this is an exceptionally interesting 163 year old binding, laden with meaning that intended to resonate with a period four hundred years earlier. It was also fashionable in Restoration England to cover Bibles and prayer books in sombre bindings , that is, in blind-tooled black goatskin, devoid of gilt decoration, often with the edges of the leaves stained black (as this book is), either as an expression of mourning or as a Lenten observance. Such bindings were made in many different workshops \u0026amp; this particular unique Gruel variation was also themed on a girdle book with a small chain looped through two rings at the top of the binding- all that was necessary to make it portable-a rare and intriguing format, so unusual as not often to be seen outside important collections. The girdle book would have been fully supported by a girdle belt, separate from the hose and any upper garments. Gruel was one of the most famous and important \"fin de siècle\" French binders. The Gruel bookbinding firm, founded in 1811, \"always had the highest reputation .for initiative in artistic matters, as well as for irreproachable execution in the detail of its many-sided achievements\" [\"Bookbinders and their Craft\", Prideaux]. The list of binders who trained at the Gruel atelier is the most distinguished in Europe. Léon Gruel (1841-1923), who took over the firm in 1891, was the single most famous person associated with the bindery. He led the challenge to integrate new innovations and ideas in the decoration of modern bindings. This highly collectable Paroissien is a design hybrid, reflective of historic bindings, but yet very much of the mid to late nineteenth century.

James Hayday (1796-1872) was one of the most inventive binders of the 19th century and one of the few to be deemed worthy of an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography; books bound by him became and still are considerably sought after. Edward Gardner of the Oxford Warehouse, 7 Paternoster Row, secured Hayday's services exclusively for Oxford University Press publications (of which this is one). Hayday was specifically engaged by Gardner to bind his copies of the finely printed, small format 'Oxford' Bibles, and his output ranged from the basic plain dark hard-grained morocco trade bindings to the finely finished and worked up examples seen here, presumably for the luxury end of the market. William Pickering, bookseller, of 57 Chancery Lane, additionally introduced Hayday to many wealthy patrons. After entering into a brief partnership with Mr. Boyce, a finisher, he again started on his own account at 31 Little Queen Street. Unable to compete with other and cheaper binders, he was adjudicated a bankrupt on 10 June 1861.

George Kirkby Junior (1773-1857) was the owner of the Kentish Gazette along with Charles Petman Rouse, and James Lawrence. James Hervey (1714-1758), Calvinist Anglican divine (and former Oxford Methodist), following several minor clerical appointments in 1740 he became the curate of Bideford, North Devon, where he started work on the drafts of his famous Meditations and Reflections. The latter works appeared in 1745-1746, to be followed in 1747 by his Contemplation upon the night and other works. His popular Meditations Among the Tombs was published in 1746 and it was often reprinted. The subject of the book is death, and the author dwells particularly on the grief caused by early death, and on the eventual re-uniting of the parted in heaven. Hervey had a lasting impact on art through William Blake, who was an admirer of his. Blake painted Epitome of James Hervey's Meditations among the Tombs between 1820 and 1825.Hervey is also mentioned in Blake's work as one of the holy guards to the 'four-fold gate', and his influence on Blake's poem The Tyger has also been noted. Hervey was also a friend and correspondent of John Wesley, founder of Methodism. Examples of Hervey's shorthand are not common, but there is a copy of a 1795 Thomas Hervey Bible in Shorthand at the Archives and Manuscript Department, Pitts Theology Library, Emory University. This is a unique Napoleonic era example of an entire work in shorthand, preserved in a charming contemporary full morocco binding.

David Bryce (1845-1923) was one of the world's most prolific and successful makers of miniature books, entering the book trade at the age of 17 when he was made a partner in his father s publishing house. He later became the sole proprietor when his father died in 1870. It was shortly after this event that he started producing the miniature books that were to make him famous. David Bryce \u0026amp; Sons of Glasgow was active around the turn of the 19th century; \u0026amp; took an active interest in the latest technological advances in photolithography and electroplates to allow larger volumes to be reduced to the smallest imaginable size. The result is that their miniature publications are prized for the clarity and legibility of their texts. With the aid of Glasgow University Press, the firm issued the earliest complete miniature Bible in 1896, at the time the smallest complete bible ever printed; it comprised 876 pages printed on the finest India paper, measuring just over 1 inch square and was a reduced facsimile of the Oxford sextodecimo edition. David Bryce produced these tiny Bibles and many were presented to serving soldiers throughout the British Empire, easily carried on campaigns, including The Boer War which was being waged at that time with many later carried by soldiers in the First World War. They also published a 1901 reprint and also issued it in a specific binding as a souvenir of the Glasgow International Exhibition at Kelvingrove. All copies were sold with a small magnifying glass.

Anthony Wrangham and his relatives operated at a few different addresses in and around New Bond Street from the mid late 1700's. Preliminary investigation indicates that he operated from No. 161 from 1809 to 1814. W.Houghton was still at 161 New Bond Street in 1833 but examples of his ticket are uncommon. Silk bookbindings from the Georgian period are uncommon in good condition.

Printed upon the very thinnest Oxford India Paper ever made, and with twenty-eight full-page illustrations of biblical scenes by C. B. Birch, A.R.A. Inner hinge cracked but firm. Final leaf with marginal closed tear at bottom. Some pages mildly thumbed. The exact size of the page is 42mm x 28mm.

David Bryce (1845-1923) was one of the world's most prolific and successful makers of miniature books, entering the book trade at the age of 17 when he was made a partner in his father s publishing house. He later became the sole proprietor when his father died in 1870. It was shortly after this event that he started producing the miniature books that were to make him famous. David Bryce \u0026amp; Sons of Glasgow was active around the turn of the 19th century; \u0026amp; took an active interest in the latest technological advances in photolithography and electroplates to allow larger volumes to be reduced to the smallest imaginable size. The result is that their miniature publications are prized for the clarity and legibility of their texts. With the aid of Glasgow University Press, the firm issued the earliest complete miniature Bible in 1896, at the time the smallest complete bible ever printed; it comprised 876 pages printed on the finest India paper, measuring just over 1 inch square and was a reduced facsimile of the Oxford sextodecimo edition. David Bryce produced these tiny Bibles and many were presented to serving soldiers throughout the British Empire, easily carried on campaigns, including The Boer War which was being waged at that time with many later carried by soldiers in the First World War. They also published a 1901 reprint and also issued it in a specific binding as a souvenir of the Glasgow International Exhibition at Kelvingrove. All copies were sold with a small magnifying glass.

Probably the earliest imprint of the best known miniature thumb bible \u0026amp; a very close copy of the J.Harris edition. Elizabeth Newberry was the widow of Francis who was nephew of John Newberry (hugely successful publisher and promoter of children's books). A charming copy of this first appearance of Elizabeth Newbery’s enormously popular Bible in Miniature. Although this is the first edition to have the Newbery name in the imprint, it was effectively a new edition of Harris’ miniature bible first printed in 1778, which in turn was based on earlier printings by W. Harris as early as 1771. Following J. Harris’ original closely, the text was entirely reset but was almost word for word the same as Harris’, with the same number of pages, a similar title and fly-title for the New Testament and with engravings of the same subjects: creation,Adam and Eve, Moses, the birth of Christ, the Epiphany etc. The print run must have been considerable as it was still listed as for sale in 1800, at the original published price of 1s, and it is one of the easiest thumb bibles to find today. It was reprinted well into the nineteenth century by the Newbery family and in collaborative editions with Harris, Darton and Harvey.This issue has the page numbers enclosed within brackets and has no imprint at the end of the text, simply concluding with the ‘Finis’ on p. 256. Some rarer issues contain the imprint ‘Crowder \u0026amp; Hemsted, Printers,Warwick-Square’ or simply ‘Hemsted, Printer’.This issue does have the mistake ‘miniuture’ to the title, which was later corrected; but the reworked plate of the engraving of Adam and Eve, at p. 25, with a tree bearing no apples. Copies vary in size and binding.They were issued in plain calf, crimson morocco with gilt tooling and a central onlay in black or dark green, with the sacred monogram (as this copy, which has the onlay in black) and in green morocco with gilt tooling and crimson central onlay.

Bondy does mention J.Haddon (page 129) as publishing a later (1830) edition of the well received religious title, The Dairyman's Daughter (Christie's Bible Warehouse, London, 1826).

Provenance: \"Martha Downs, the gift of her sister, Jane\". The great religious revival which took place during the 19th century, especially in England, went hand in hand with a flood of devotional books, many of them in miniature format. Some of them were intended both for children and an adult readership. Very popular were the publications issued by the Religious Tract Society in London. As most of them were undated, any dates given here are estimates. A tiny volume, enchantingly entitled Small Rain upon the Tender Herb, belongs to the best-loved miniature books and was obviously much treasured by our Victorian ancestors. The first edition appeared in the early 1830's and many subsequent editions were printed at least up to the 39th edition.The earlier editions were finely printed by C. Whittingham at Chiswick.The type used is 5-point. The contents consist of short Bible extracts for every day of the year and even include the 29th of February (Bondy, 127). Spielmann, 466.

The binding is not one mentioned in Adomeit's extensive description but does resemble the bindings used for Alfred Mills' Short History of the Bible and New Testament. In 1802, John Harris took over Elizabeth Newbery's publishing house and effectively created a new text in favour of the New Testament and high quality new illustrations for this Thumb Bible, having a widespread impact on their production in the USA after 1811 (although considerably less impact in the UK as it only reached five editions here).

David Bryce (1845-1923) was one of the world's most prolific and successful makers of miniature books, entering the book trade at the age of 17 when he was made a partner in his father s publishing house. He later became the sole proprietor when his father died in 1870. It was shortly after this event that he started producing the miniature books that were to make him famous. David Bryce \u0026amp; Sons of Glasgow was active around the turn of the 19th century; \u0026amp; took an active interest in the latest technological advances in photolithography and electroplates to allow larger volumes to be reduced to the smallest imaginable size. The result is that their miniature publications are prized for the clarity and legibility of their texts. With the aid of Glasgow University Press, the firm issued the earliest complete miniature Bible in 1896, at the time the smallest complete bible ever printed; it comprised 876 pages printed on the finest India paper, measuring just over 1 inch square and was a reduced facsimile of the Oxford sextodecimo edition. David Bryce produced these tiny Bibles and many were presented to serving soldiers throughout the British Empire, easily carried on campaigns, including The Boer War which was being waged at that time with many later carried by soldiers in the First World War. They also published a 1901 reprint and also issued it in a specific binding as a souvenir of the Glasgow International Exhibition at Kelvingrove. All copies were sold with a small magnifying glass.

The bookbinder was very possibly James Hayday (1796-1872), one of the most inventive binders of the 19th century and one of the few to be deemed worthy of an entry in the Dictionary of National Biography; books bound by him became and still are considerably sought after. Edward Gardner of the Oxford Warehouse, 7 Paternoster Row, secured Hayday's services exclusively for Oxford University Press publications (of which this is one). Hayday was specifically engaged by Gardner to bind his copies of the finely printed, small format 'Oxford' Bibles, and his output ranged from the basic plain dark hard-grained morocco trade bindings to the finely finished and worked up examples similar to this example, presumably for the luxury end of the market. William Pickering, bookseller, of 57 Chancery Lane, later introduced Hayday to many wealthy patrons. After entering into a brief partnership with Mr. Boyce, a finisher, Hayday again started on his own account at 31 Little Queen Street. Unable to compete with other and cheaper binders, he was adjudicated a bankrupt on 10 June 1861. Welsh, 1852. Welsh lists a slightly earlier edition of the same size.

Spine with gilt block lettering \"WESLEY\", and three hand-tooled binder's decorative flourishes within scrolling ribbon horizontal rules (slightly rubbed). Front an back covers with hand-tooled scrolling decoration around a series of gilt circles and all within single fillet gilt borders. Contains over 500 hymns written mostly by John's brother Charles. An interesting variant of an edition of this much reprinted title, first published in 1780 \u0026amp; extolled by B.L. Manning as comparable with the Book of Psalms, the Book of Common Prayer and the Canon of the Mass. Wesley began work on it in September 1773, when he was confined to the New Room, Bristol by a heavy cold, and took it up again at Tullamore during his Irish tour in 1778. His Preface explains that it was published because of the number of earlier books in use; the most important of these, Hymns and Spiritual Songs (1753) being too small (only 84 hymns).

Printed upon the very thinnest Oxford India Paper ever made, and with twenty-eight full-page illustrations of biblical scenes by C. B. Birch, A.R.A.

David Bryce (1845-1923) was one of the world's most prolific and successful makers of miniature books, entering the book trade at the age of 17 when he was made a partner in his father s publishing house. He later became the sole proprietor when his father died in 1870. It was shortly after this event that he started producing the miniature books that were to make him famous. David Bryce \u0026amp; Sons of Glasgow was active around the turn of the 19th century; \u0026amp; took an active interest in the latest technological advances in photolithography and electroplates to allow larger volumes to be reduced to the smallest imaginable size. The result is that their miniature publications are prized for the clarity and legibility of their texts. With the aid of Glasgow University Press, the firm issued the earliest complete miniature Bible in 1896, at the time the smallest complete bible ever printed; it comprised 876 pages printed on the finest India paper, measuring just over 1 inch square and was a reduced facsimile of the Oxford sextodecimo edition. David Bryce produced these tiny Bibles and many were presented to serving soldiers throughout the British Empire, easily carried on campaigns, including The Boer War which was being waged at that time with many later carried by soldiers in the First World War.

Original khaki buckram (some light soiling; spine slightly twisted and gatherings minutely sprung out of perfect alignment; inner hinges cracked but firm). Holy Bible stamped in gilt on spine (faded). Original magnifier in a pocket at the back. Originally retailed for a shilling. This copy has been used and more likely than not, been taken to France or Belgium during the First world War. The hard-wearing dull coloured buckram was deliberately selected for camouflage and to last the length of a campaign - this miniature bible weighs one ounce and was perfectly sized to be carried in a soldier's pocket.
