Mary Sales Weld was Mother Superior at the Monastery [sic] from 1810 to at least 1831. The Jesuit and Biblical scholar Joseph Reeve (17331820) wrote a number of ecclesiastical and theological works, but also turned out a rather good poem published in 1776, Ugbrooke Park. This abridgment proved to be popular and reached a fourth edition by 1795. However, not everyone was thrilled…

Description:
London: Printed for G. G. J. & J. Robinson, W. Goldsmith, Scatcherd & Whitaker..., 1792. 12mo, 178 x 98 mms., unpaginated, pp. [192], including three leaves of adverts at end, but without half-title, contemporary mottled calf, with spine slightly adversely affected; lacks label, but a good copy with the armorial bookplate of Abel John Ram Esq. on the front paste-down end-paper. Little is of known of MacBean's life, though he clearly obtained a degree at some stage, probably from a Scottish university, where the first degree was an A. M. Dr. Johnson took pity on him, found him literary work, and wrote a preface to his Dictionary of Ancient Geography (1773), in which, according to Johnson, MacBean "had given as much labour to Capua as to Rome." MacBean spent most of his life in great poverty; when he died in 1784, Johnson said of him, "He was very pious; he was very innocent; he did no ill, and of doing good a continual tenour of distress allowed him few…

Description:
[?London] Printed in the year 1797. FIRST EDITION. 8vo, pp. [ii], 109 [110 Errata], uncut, original boards (worn), crudely rebacked with paper, later notes on end-papers, lacks front free end-paper, title taped to board, rather a sad copy. With the autograph of Michael Joseph Quin (1796 - 1843), the travel writer and Catholic journalist and a few corrections or annotations in his hand; and notes on Butler and Quin on the front paste-down end-paper by "Gal. Barrori," dated 1960. Butler (1750 - 1832), a Catholic, entered Lincoln's Inn in 1775 but could not proceed to the bar, as he could not take the oath of supremacy. The above work is a learned and succinct commentary on the Old and New Testaments as well as the sacred texts of other religions. The previous owner of this copy, Quin, when he was editing the Monthly Review and the Catholic Journal, while supporting Catholic emancipation, might very well have made Butler's acquaintance.
