De Immensa Dei Misericordia, a Sermon of the excedynge great Mercy of God, translated out of Latin into Englisshe at the reqst of ye most honorable and vertuous Lady, the Lady Margaret Coustese of Salysbury, woodcut title and woodcut on reverse, gothic letter, long lines, morocco, g. e., by Hayday, London, T. Berthelet (circa 1528), 4to. (887) Banks, £22

[The present copy occurred, it is believed, at Bindley's sale more than 80 years ago, and is the only one recorded by Lowndes. He, however, errs in making it and the later octavo impressions of 1533 and 1647, bearing the title De Immensa Dei Misericordia only, two distinct works, for the present is the original impression referred to in that of 1533, but was unidentified until the copy before us was found. The volume formerly belonged to the Rev. W. Maskell, who had written on the flyleaf a note, saying "This_book very probably was the first production of Berthelet's Press, and appears to be printed with Wynkyn de Worde's types." -Catalogue.]

1375 Fox (George, the Quaker). A Battle-Door for Teachers and Professors to learn Singular and Plural; You to many, and Thou to One: Singular One, Thou; Plural Many, You.

London, printed for Robert Wilson, and are to be sold at his shop at the Signe of the Black-Spread-Eagle and Wind-mil in Martins-le-Grand, 1650, folio (886) Lulford, £22 5s.

[First edition of this remarkable publication. There are probably few books in our own (or any other) language more singular in their character and more earnest in their aim than Fox's "Battle-Door." In a perfect and fine state it is of the greatest rarity; indeed, copies seldom occur, perfect or imperfect. The work may be regarded as not merely a Quaker Primer, but as the earliest protest-and a strangely-worded one-against the improper use of the plural number in addressing individuals. It is the cooperate labour of three members of the Society of Friends,

Sotheby, Wilkinson and Hodge,

George Fox, Benjamin Furley and John Stubs, and is not only a very erudite, but most entertaining publication. It aims at showing that the Englishman in his use of the plural "you" for "thou" contravenes the general grammatical law of Oriental as well as European nationalities. In the Latin 66 Battle-Door," Fox shows how "Adam thou'd God" and "God thou'd Adam," etc. The collation given by Lowndes was from an imperfect copy, as he omits the Introduction, "The French Battledoor" (19 pages), and the last leaf of "England and Other Nations in Christendom." -Catalogue.] 1376 Goldsmith (Oliver).
