Hale, Matthew Sir, Knight, Late Chief Justice of the Kings-Bench

Contemplations Moral and Divine: In Two Parts

London, 1682. Leather Bound. pp. 360, 308. Contents collated, and four instances of mis-numbering of pages noted, but text is continuous. 8vo. Finely re-bound in full leather, with five raised bands to spine and red title label. Part I contains a full page frontispiece of Hale, engraved on copper, an unsigned Preface and a brief page outlining the contents. Part II contains a separate title page, Preface and table of contents. The contents show some foxing, and uneven trimming of pages, else in quite good, and perfectly legible, condition. Two small blemishes to margins. Hale (1609 - 1676) was a famous English barrister, judge, legal scholar and philosopher. He was counsel for Sir John Bramston (1641) and Archbishop Laud (1643); he was said to have offered to plead for Charles I during his impeachment; he took a prominent part in the legal affairs of Cromwell's parliaments during the interregnum, and was appointed a justice of the Court of Common Pleas in 1654. In 1660, he was made Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer and knighted in 1662, the same year during which he presided at the trial and conviction of two women charged with witchcraft. In 1671 he was appointed Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench. During his lifetime, he published two scientific works. His posthumous works include this title (first published in 1676) and 'Pleas of the Crown' (1678). Our offering is in two parts; the first 'Printed for W. Shrowsberey [sic] and J. Leigh, and are to be Sold by J. Phillips at the 'Seven Stars' in St. Paul's Church-yard, and H. Rodes next door to the Bear Tavern near Bride-lane in Fleet-street.' And the second part 'Printed for William Shrowsbury at the 'Bible' in Duke-lane, and John Leigh at Stationers-Hall'. Ill.: frontispiece of Hale.

[Hall, Robert] Published under the Superintendence of Olinthus Gregory, LL.D., F.R.A.S.

The Works of Rev. Robert Hall, A.M. (Three Volume Set)

New York City, Harper & Brothers, 1838. Leather Bound. 8vo. Uniformly bound in full calf. Engraved frontispiece. Each of these three volumes is noticeably bumped, scuffed & rubbed. On the front free endpaper of each are stamped the words 'section' and 'shelf'. There is a small, very old, bookseller's stamp on the front pastedown of volume I. The hinges and joints are generally tight, but one or two are a trifle weak, and the front board of Vol. III is hanging by one cord. The contents show some light, sporadic, foxing. Overall, the volumes can be handled, and read, with normal care and are thus still in good to good plus condition. Hall (1764-1831) was a Baptist divine, reputed to have first preached at age 11. He created great controversy with his 'Modern Infidelity considered with respect to its Influence on Society' (published in 1800, contained within vol. I of this set). These three volumes contain 'Sermons and Charges', 'Sermons not before Published', 'Tracts, Political and Miscellaneous', 'Articles from the Eclectic Review', 'Miscellaneous Pieces', 'Notes on Sermons', and 'Letters'. With a brief memoir of his life by Dr. Gregory, and observations on his character as a preacher by Rev. John Foster. .
