1829~BOOK OF COMMON PRAYER + PSALMS OF DAVID~hand-size~OUP~ORNATE LEATHER BOUND.

Description: In a very attractively decorated leather binding, appears to be largely unread after nearly two centuries, this is a hand-sized good quality 1829 leather-bound volume, bringing together: - "The Book of Common Prayer and Administrations of the Sacraments, and other Rites and Ceremonies of the Church, according to the Use of The United Church of England and Ireland: together with The Psalter or Psalms of David, Pointed as they are to be sung or said in Churches." - with, in the same volume - "A New Version of the Psalms of David, fitted to The Tunes used in Churches, by N. Brady D.D. and N. Tate esq.", both printed at the Clarendon Press, Oxford, by Samuel Collingwood & Co., printers to the University. Please excuse the poor photo's, light reflection plays havoc with the gilding and textured finish to the leather, and focussing the camera plus trying to avoid too many shadows on internal pages of a smaller book, especially when tightly bound like this one, is nigh-on impossible, this is the best selection of a very large number taken. Please see my other items for more interesting, rare, and collectable items, as I will always try and combine the delivery to save you money. On Sale is a hand-size, good quality, leather-bound 1829 volume being the * Book of Common Prayer, etc., ... together with the Psalms of David *, bound together in the one volume with * A New Version of the Psalms of David * by Nicholas Brady D.D., and Nahum Tate esq., both sections printed at The Clarendon Press, Oxford, by Samuel Collingwood & Co., printers to the University, sold by E.
