Item description from seller

168, 288pp, [72]. Parallel English and Dutch text. Contemporary gilt-tooled speckled calf, contrasting red morocco lettering-piece. Rubbed, a trifle marked, some loss to lettering-piece. Modern book-label of Broughton Baptist Library and later bookplate of Eric Gerald Stanley to sprung FEP, scattered foxing. An early enlarged edition, initially published in three parts, of Dutch Quaker historian Willem Sewel's (bap. 1653, d. 1720) popular Low-Dutch language primer. First printed in 1700, the work ran to at least eight editions by the close of the century, all issued by publisher's based in Amsterdam, often with spurious edition statements - both the editions of 1706 and 1740 claim to be 'second editions' as here. From the recently dispersed library of Eric Gerald Stanley (1923-2018), scholar of Old English literature, Rawlinson and Bosworth Professor of Anglo-Saxon at the University of Oxford. All editions are scarce, with this second being no exception; ESTC records copies at three locations in the British Isles (BL, Glasgow, and NT), and further six worldwide (California, Harvard, NYPL, Redwood, Wroclaw, and Yale). Size: 12mo.…
