Description:
1789 Buxtorf HEBREW & Latin Jewish Bible Lexicon Dictionary Judaica Rabbinica 4v
A rare 17th-century Hebrew / Latin lexicon and Old Testament concordance.

Originally started in 1607, Johann Buxtorf began working on a Hebrew lexicon. However, this work was one of the few works of his that had to be completed by other writers, mainly his son. This dictionary was published multiple times throughout the next two centuries and would become the basis for many 19th-century Hebrew concordances. This work serves as a reference tool for Old Testament research particularly the Pentateuch.

This 1789 Rome edition was published in four volumes by Zempel.

Description:
1791 Book of Common Prayer Church of England Bible Psalms Cambridge BEAUTIFUL

A rare printing of the Church of England's 'Book of Common Prayer' printed at Cambridge University in 1791. This popular devotional and supplement to the Bible was a critical part of the early English Church liturgy and doctrine. However, this edition, and others of similar size, are considered quite rare. This edition includes a daily calendar for each month of the year with feast days, martyr days, and prayers. This 1791 edition also includes the book of Psalms collected into English meter by Thomas Sternhold, John Hopkins, and others.

Description:
1723 Drunken Barnaby Four Journeys Brathwait English Satire Alcohol Wine Beer

Richard Brathwait was a 17th-century English poet who is best known for his travel records of his journeys through England entitled 'Barnabae Itinerarium'. More commonly known as 'Drunken Barnaby's Four Journeys', this book is a satirical, humorous work which made light of drunkenness, persuading the reader that it was "the very fountain from which all wit flowed." (Critical Review, 1805).
This 1723 edition was notable, not only for its full-page engravings, but for the inclusion of additional English notes and prefatory material, not in the previous two editions. Like other versions, this work features both English and Latin translations in verse, which contain descriptions of English towns and a vast knowledge of Latin classical works.

1772 Voltaire Elements of Isaac NEWTON Philosophy Optics Physics Science Illustrated
"Let us read, and let us dance; these two amusements will never do any harm to the world."
― Voltaire
While Voltaire was in exile from Great Britain, he became strongly influenced by the works of Isaac Newton. Voltaire strongly believed in Newton's theories, especially concerning optics and gravity. This prompted Voltaire to write a book entitled 'Elements of Newton's Philosophy', which made Newton accessible to a far greater public.

This tome from Voltaire is illustrated with 47 figures depicting various aspects of Newtonian philosophy, optics, and physics.

Description:
1723 1ed Sermons of Ofspring Blackall Bible Commentary on Sermon on Mount Exeter

Ofspring Blackall was a 17th-century English bishop whose works stirred much controversy throughout his career. However, many of his sermons proved non-controversial at all including his sermons found in his complete works.

Shortly after Blackall died, his complete sermons were edited published in London in 1723 by William Dawes. These sermons, which mostly consist of commentary on Jesus's 'Sermon on the Mount' provide context to each of the portions of Christ's famous sermon. It also contains an interesting sermon on the 'Manner of Keeping Christmas'.

This 1723 first edition contains two, complete folios! An impressive collection of 18th-century sermons!

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was an 18th-century Enlightenment philosopher whose political theories helped shape aspects of the French Revolution.

1782 Confessions of Jean-Jacques Rousseau Autobiography Enlightenment Philosophy

"People who know little are usually great talkers, while men who know much say little."
― Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was an 18th-century Enlightenment philosopher whose political theories helped shape aspects of the French Revolution. His "Confessions" is simply his own autobiography. To this point, very few autobiographical works had been written, and, following the success of this work, many other autobiographies were published – a highly influential work!

This work discusses Rousseau's own feelings and outlooks on life, his great shames, successes, and even some controversial parts of his relationship with Therese Levasseur!

1796 FAMED Noah Webster American READER Speller Dictionary Grammar Americana

The name Webster has become synonymous with dictionary and American language over the last century. Noah Webster sought to create a purely 'American' culture that was independent of British claim; he achieved this by creating his dictionary – a work that helped distance American grammar and linguistics from that of Britain.

Webster's American "Reader" went through numerous editions, titles, and versions, including this 1796 printing of "An American Selection of Lessons in Reading and Speaking".
