Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the turbulent political and religious landscape of England during the tumultuous period leading up to the English Civil War. The author dives into the rise of Puritanism, a movement seeking to purify the Church of England of its perceived Catholic influences, and its… increasingly radical agenda that threatened the existing social order. The book meticulously traces the development of Puritan ideology, exposing the core principles that set them at odds with both the established Church and the Monarchy. It provides a detailed look at the tensions that arose between King James I and the Parliament, particularly regarding the financing of wars in support of the Protestant cause abroad. The book illuminates how the King's efforts to secure financial aid for the restoration of the Palatinate were thwarted by a Parliament dominated by Puritan factions who sought to exploit the situation for their own political agenda. The author delves into the key figures and events that shaped the conflict, including the role of prominent Puritan leaders and the impact of the Gunpowder Plot, which further inflamed anti-Catholic sentiment. The book also explores the connections between Puritanism and the radical ideas of continental Anabaptists, highlighting the shared belief in the power of the people to challenge authority and reform society. The author's insights into the interplay of religious fervor, political ambition, and social unrest offer a compelling account of the forces that ultimately ignited the English Civil War. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

This work is a full and finely produced facsimile reprint of the incredibly scarce "English Atlas," originally created and published by Moses Pitt (c. 163916…97), in Oxford 1680. Only the first volume of the set is reprinted here, focusing on Northern regions including Russian, Poland and Scandinavia. Originally Pitt had intended to issue a 12 volume set, all under the auspices of the Royal Society, but ultimately only was able to issue 4 volumes before the project collapsed due to financial difficulties. The work contains 4 detailed fold-out maps each measuring 23x22", showing Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine and Western areas of Russia during the period. Text throughout printed in a two-column format. Introductory text at the front of the reprint, discussing the history of the work. Wrappers with some age toning to the covers, as well as some light rubbing to extremities. Top right corner of cover lightly chipped and a stain at the bottom right. A few light abrasions. Wrappers in good+, interior in near fine condition overall.

Title page, A3 (contents), 81pp, 15.5 x 10cm. The title page states: 'With a large map of the said Level, as Drained, Surveyed & Described by Sir Jonas Moore.' :…note that this copy lacks this map. Otherwise a Good+ copy of a rare and very early book on the surveying and draining of the Fens, that appears to have belonged at a later date to Lord Milton of Peterborough, as a plain bookplate (Milton, Peterborough), is pasted inside the front cover (this partly obscures the Bookseller's text to the Reader which is printed on the front pastedown). The probable original owner's name is inscribed on the back of the title page: Geo. Underwood, 1699; he has also inscribed his name in the margins of three pages in 1699 and 1704, with a correction to the text possibly made by him on one of those pages. A later hand has added a note in pencil on title margin that the author was Samuel Fortrey, surveyor of the Middle Level. Other than this the text is generally clean, with the odd spot or brown mark; the binding is sound though stretched and the covers rubbed to edges and spine. Pictures available.

The 2 available volumes contain the complete part of Germany including the areas which belonged to the Holy Roman Empire, like Bohemia, Austria, Hungary and Transylvania. This project of an English speaking author, which was stopped after the publication of volume 4, is based on the "Atlas Major" of Janssonius (maps are slightly revised). But there are some more maps, which were not published elsewhere, amongst them the beautiful folding maps of the Weser river mouth and Baden. Catouches with nice colouring. One map with tearing, in the inner margins slightly creased, few maps slightly margin-spotted, map of Weser slightly trimmed. Bookplate on inside cover. Altogether a very fine copy with large margins and only a little minor foxing.

Contact seller5-star sellerSingle sheet (22 ¼ x 19 ½) Full margins showing the plate mark. (Light foxing, repair on verso). This elegant hand-colored map of the Duchy of Brabant centered on Leuven and Tienen. Around the title cartouche nine shields for the town coat of arms, that of Tienen left blank. Standing next to the cartouche is the Greek god Apollo…, playing the harp and the sun shining brightly behind him. The coat of arms of the Duchy of Brabant crown the top of the map. The left side cartouche containing the scale of miles balances out the map, with a curious interaction between a male and female figure. The woman holding cartographic tools and an atlas could perhaps be Elizabeth Verseyl, the late Nicolaes Visscher's wife. The earliest mention of Leuven ("Loven") is from 891, when a Viking army was defeated by the Frankish king Arnulf of Carinthia (see: Battle of Leuven). According to a legend the city's red and white arms depict the blood-stained shores of the river Dyle after this battle. Situated beside this river, and near to the stronghold of the Dukes of Brabant, Leuven became the most important centre of trade in the duchy between the 11th and 14th centuries. A token of its former importance as a centre of cloth manufacture is shown in that ordinary linen cloth is known in late-14th-century and 15th-century texts as lewyn (other spellings: Leuwyn, Levyne, Lewan(e), Lovanium, Louvain). In the 15th century a new golden era began with the founding of what is now the largest and oldest university in the Low Countries, the Catholic University of Leuven, in 1425. The Atlas Minor is a fine and comprehensive composite atlas, and one of a series of large atlases compiled and sold by the Visscher family of art dealers and cartographers in the 17th century. Founded by Nicholas Visscher, this work is known for the high quality of engraving, exceptionally fine ornament, and accurate geographical information. No two of the Visscher atlases seem to have been identical in content, and most contain, like this one, a selection of maps by the Visschers themselves as well as other cartographers. In this case the majority of the maps are published by Visscher. In addition to the striking world map by Allard with its black background and numerous projections, and found in the "Atlas Major" from about 1705, there are maps of the continents, regional maps of Europe, ten maps of Asia, and seven maps related to America. For more information on this map, or a warm welcome to see other maps and books of our collection at 72nd Street NYC, please contact Natalie Zadrozna.
