Myerdman. 1552 Though the cover is somewhat damaged by time, yet it remains a good specimen of English artistic binding, and shows that the taste for fine patterns of interlaced ornament on the outside of books was not confined to the Continent. This book is a very rare one, a great number of the copies being destroyed at Queen Mary's accession in the year following its date.

BLACK LETTER (the Latin in Roman), fine copy in russia, gilt edges, from Lord Hampton's library, £125.

Richard Grafton, 1545

First Edition of Henry VIII's third Primer; so rare that Mr. Maskell only knew of the existence of one perfect copy. It contains the Litany of 1544, afterwards with slight alterations incorporated in the Book of Common Prayer. The only copy cited by Lowndes is that wanting title, calendar, and portion of five leaves, which belonged to Mr. Maskell.

17503 EPISTLES AND GOSPELS. HERE BEGYNNETH THE PYSTELS AND GOSPELS OF THE SONDAYES AND FESTYUALL HOLY DAYES, NEWLY CORRECTED AND AMENDED, smallest 4to. gothic letter, leaf S 1 mended, leaf S 4 and the leaf of Table at end wanting, old russia, £10. 10s (1539)

There are thirty lines in a full page: the signatures are A to X in fours, except X, in which there were probably only two leaves, or perhaps three. The present copy ends with leaf X 1, on the bottom of the reverse of which are the words " here after foloweth the | Table of this present booke." Leaf X 1 is marked lxxxii in the pagination, instead of lxxxi, by a mistake which begins on leaf T 1, which bears lxxiiii instead of lxxiii. (It may have begun on the missing leaf S 4, which ought to have borne the numeral lxxii.)

The title as given above appears at the heading of the text on A 1: the Epistles and Gospels were usually printed thus without separate title-pages, so as to be annexed to one or other contemporary edition of the Primer.

17504 THE BOOKE OF THE COMMON PRAIER and administracion of the Sacramentes, and other rites and ceremonies of the Churche; after the vse of the Churche of Englande, sm. folio, black letter, title printed in red and black within woodcut borders,

(1549) Edward the Fifth's first Common Prayer. In any shape or sort the book is a very uncommon one; but when the copy is perfect, large, and healthy, like this one, it is indeed a rarity which many of the richest booklovers might covet in vain. The royal order printed on the last page regarding the price of the book was an expedient which some of the new-booksellers of the present day would like to see repeated, with the substitution of under for above. "No maner of persone shall sell the present Booke vnbounde aboue the price of two shillynges and two pence. And bounde in Forell for iis. xd. and not aboue. And the same bounde in Shepes Lether for iiis iiid and not aboue. And the same bounde in paste or in boordes, in Calues Lether, not above the price of iiiis. the pece."

The Common Prayer is apparently identical with an undated edition which has been assigned to the year 1561, and of which only one copy is recorded. The Metrical Psalms is of an undescribed edition, and the prose Psalter is of very great rarity.

Edin. R. Young, 1637-36

With the following curious MS. lines written in a contemporary Scotch hand upon the fly-leaf :

Ane Epitaph compyled by the B. of Canterburrye upon the untymly death of that noble and hopefull gentleman, called the Service Book for the Church of Scotland.

Your name from Service fitly was deriv'd;

For Deil's, Popes, Prelats Service wer yow made,

But by your Service wee ar all depriv'd

Of life and honor, and of pompe we hade.

Then sleip in dust, for none by thee hath got
More reall Service then the scurvie Scot.

Ane other by Canterburrie the same author.

Deils, Popes, and Prelats, burst your harts with mone,
Your deirest servant to his grave is gone,

Where unregarded he must ever ly;

Except yourselves none loses more than I.

There is a signature in monogram, which is not very clear, but looks like a signature of R. and B. It may stand for Robert Baillie the celebrated Presbyterian minister and antagonist of Laud.
