About This Item
London: Richard Hett, 1780. Hardcover. Near fine. 8vo. 236, (4)pp. Finely bound by an unnamed binder thought to be in Liverpool. Full crimson morocco. A slim keyroll gilt border surrounds a distinctive flower and urn tool. In the center of the upper board is tooled "John Brown, Esqr., Mayor, 1782." The smooth spine is ornately tooled with three rows of flowers charmingly offset. Gilt inner dentelles and edged. All edges gilt. Marbled endpapers. Light rubbing, occasional light foxing, but a near fine copy.
John Brown served as Mayor of Liverpool from 1782 to 1783.
The binder remains unknown, but is possibly either Peter Wright or Richard Wright, both of whom are listed in Gore's 1766 Liverpool Directory. Michael Laird of Lockhart Texas has published a list of eighteen examples known from this binder. Number 2 on the list is a two volume Bible, also a presentation to Mayor Brown, as listed in the Lathrop Harper Catalogue 239. That listing also described a third volume, a Book of Common Prayer and Psalter similarly bound. The present New Version of the Psalms is clearly a fourth volume of the presentation set.
Accompanied by the above mentioned Lathrop Harper Catalogue.

Classic supernatural fiction is distinct from contemporary horror because it is more literate and often relies upon poetic subtlety rather than unpleasant gratuity to create an atmosphere. Enter if you dare!
Michael Bond - the man behind Paddington Bear
“All the same ... it’s a very important name. And I don’t expect there are many bears in the world called Paddington!”
A lonely toy bear on an empty shop shelf on Christmas Eve in 1956 first captured the attention of Michael Bond, who kindly shared Paddington with the world.
