Butler, Rev. Alban Meditations and Discourses on the Sublime Truths and Important Duties of Christianity. Volume I.
London J. P. Coghlan - Printer 1791 Hardcover Poor
8vo - 22 x 14 cm.; vii - 369 pp. Of the preliminary pages, only the title page, the dedication page and the contents page are present; 6 of at least the 8 noted from pagination. A posthumous work edited by Charles Butler and dedicated to Lord Henry Arundell. This is Volume I only and comprises Meditations I to XIV and Discourses XV to XXVI. Both the meditations and discourses are listed under the general title of Discourses, hence the consecutive numbering. The text block itself, with the preliminary page exceptions as noted, is complete with the expected binding weaknesses, 'tis rather tender. Deckled edges with the head edge being trimmed and with browning/staing on on the margins. Minor damp staining to the margins of the later pages with the paper being still supple. The present casework is much the worse for wear and would need to be removed and replaced or at least repaired. Quite scarce in any condition as this was a private printing done at the behest of Lord Arundell who acted as the benefactor for it.; Ex-Library 12275

Butler, Rev. Alban The Lives of the Saints of Egypt Together with the Principal of the European Saints According to the Roman Catholic Church.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania C. Grate 1863 Hardcover Fair
8vo - 22 x 13.5 cm.; [2] - (2) - 302 pp. Blind stamped brown cloth on front and back boards with gilt lettering on the spine. No publisher is given or stated on title page or copyright page and no pages have been removed. The point of this particular edition was: ". . . (to present the reader) . . . . with a beautiful book in a convenient form, well-adapted for the centre-table in the parlour - where it may often be taken up by the worldly-minded . . . " This is from the Publisher's Preface (1853) and signed by C. Grate who was the publisher of the Emmitsburg Star (Pennsylvania) at the time. The copyright is dated 1858. One could call it an early large print edition. 31 lives are presented as taken from the larger and complete Butler's Lives. Previous owner's name stamped on the ffep and the title page along with a more recent gift inscription referenced to Catherine Doherty on the ffep as well. The end paper hinges are torn (short tears though) exposing the cloth. The external joints are worn through as is the cloth on the fore and tail edges of the boards. There is some pen marginalia in the form of check marks in the margins of the Life of St. Antony. Binding is still sturdy and with the exception noted, the text is clean. An unusual edition. 11405
