Condition: Very Good. 1972. 1st ed 1st printg. Hardcover. Temple Smith, 1972, 1st UK edn. trade paperback in laminated pictorial card covers in mint condition; 208pp+12pp biblio, index; The seas could die. Life may be extinct in the Mediterranean and the Baltic before the end of the present decade, and within a horrifyingly small number of years the whole world ocean could be dead. If we are to prevent this, we must take radical action, and take it now. This is the greatest environmental crisis facing mankind, yet surprisingly little has been written about it for the general public. In this book Colin Moorcraft portrays the intricate system in which all marine life is interlinked, shows how man's actions threaten its survival and describes what needs to be done. Overkilling is bringing many species of fish and sea mammals to the edge of extinction, among them the great whales. Pollution (much of it originating on land) is endangering every kind of marine life? including the vital plankton on which all the others depend. DDT is found deep in the Antarctic: in the surface layer of the oceans, oil is almost as widespread as salt. Just when we are most dependent on new food supplies to feed an exploding population, one of our greatest sources is being wasted. Even while it lasts it is being absurdly misused. Underdeveloped countries badly need protein but an increasing proportion of the world fish catch is being turned into fish meal to feed the battery chickens and pigs of the rich nations. In countering all these threats to the living ocean, only international action can be effective. The last chapters of Must the Seas Die ? discuss what is being done and what needs to be done, in the short and long terms, and an appendix deals with what the individual can do to help. Throughout the book Colin Moorcraft takes a sane and positive approach, avoiding hysteria and scaremongering : the death of the seas does not need exaggeration to make its impact. 8½x5½". . . . .

An excellent, crisp and clean copy of this work on the subject of infant baptism. Separate printed title pages to the various parts. Minor marks, blemishes or light reading wear commensurate with age else a very nice copy indeed. Simon Ford, [1619-1699]. Puritan Divine. Son of Richard Ford, was born at East Ogwell, near Newton Bushel, Devon, around 1619. He was educated at the grammar schools of Exeter and Dorchester, and entered Magdalen Hall, Oxford, in 1636. He was lineally related to Nicholas Wadham, the founder of Wadham College, but failed to obtain a scholarship there. In 1641 he proceeded to attain his B.A., and was expelled from Oxford soon afterwards on account of his strong Puritan leanings . When the parliamentary visitors were sent to Oxford in 1647, Ford returned and was received with honour. He attained his M.A. on 12 December 1648, was made a delegate of the visitors in 1649, and was given his B.D. "by dispensation, of the delegates" on 16 February 1649 50. His friend, Dr. Edward Reynolds, who had become dean of Christ Church, admitted him as a senior student there and he frequently preached at St. Mary's. A sermon delivered against the Engagement of 1651 led to the removal of his studentship. He became lecturer of Newington Green, London, and later was vicar of St. Lawrence, Reading. There he engaged in much local controversy. In an assize sermon preached in 1654 he denounced the people of Reading for their support of extravagant religious views, and was called before the grand jury to explain his conduct. Two years later a Quaker named Thomas Speed excited his wrath. Ford and Christopher Fowler, another Reading clergyman, published jointly A Sober Answer to an Angry Epistle . written in haste by T. Speed in London, 1656, to which Speed replied in The Guilty-covered Clergyman unvailed in 1656. In July 1659, Ford left Reading to become vicar of All Saints, Northampton. On 30 January 1661 he preached at Northampton against "the horrid actual murtherers of Charles I". In 1665 he proceeded to gain his D.D. at Oxford. On 30 March 1670 he was chosen to be minister of Bridewell, London, but resigned the post on becoming vicar of St. Mary, Aldermanbury on 29 December. Failing health compelled him to remove to the rectory of Old Swinford, Worcestershire, which was conferred on him by Thomas Foley on 22 May 1676. Simon Ford died at Old Swinford 7 April 1699, and was buried in his church. His first wife, Ann Thackham, died 21 February 1667. They had at least five children. He then married Martha Stampe of Reading with a licence granted 13 August 1672, having at least one child. Martha Ford died 13 November 1684. His will makes reference to his third wife, Catherine. He was survived by his daughters Mary Hercy and Martha Milward. Bound in a rather attractive full contemporary calf binding. Solid and sound and in excellent condition.

Tenth edition, small 8vo, pp. [336]; some foxing, later half calf over marbled boards, red morocco label on spine; nice copy. Coles (?1640-1680) was the author of a number of "useful and necessary books for the instruction of beginners," among which were his popular A Dictionary English-Latin and Latin-English (London, 1677) which was still in use in schools even after the arrival of Ainsworth's Thesaurus in 1736; and An English Dictionary (London, 1676, et al.). "Still in the "hard words" tradition, Coles included thousands of "old words," obsolete from Chaucer's day. His dictionary contained twenty-five thousand words, eight thousand more than the last, augmented edition of Phillips. He shortened Phillips' already brief definitions in order to include more words and more etymological information. Coles did break new ground in including cant (thieves' argot) and dialectical terms. These, taken from other specialized dictionaries, had never before been included in a general English dictionary" (Landau, Dictionaries, p.43). Alston V, 72.

He did it unassisted and it cost him his 14 health. First published in 1549, under the reign of Edward VI, the Book of Common Prayer (BPC) was the first prayer book to include the complete forms of service for daily and Sunday worship in English. It contained Morning Prayer, Evening Prayer, the Litany, and Holy Communion and also the occasional services in full: the orders for Baptism, Confirmation, Marriage, prayers to be said with the sick , and a funeral service. It also set out in full the propers : the collects and the epistle and gospel readings for the Sunday Communion Service. Old and New Testament readings for daily prayer were specified in tabular format as were the Psalms and canticles mostly biblical, that were provided to be said or sung between the readings.
