I have here for sale a bind up of three seventeenth century works by William Smith. Published by Ebenezer Tracy, London between 1706 and 1707. There are two plates and 38 woodcuts in the text. In this volume we have:

1) THE HISTORY OF THE HOLY JESUS there are 16 woodcuts in the text showing various Saints meeting their gory ends! (pages 29-191 - 126 pages, but first 28 pages are missing)

2) THE HISTORY OF THE LIVES, ACTS AND MARTYRDOMS OF THOSE BLESSED CHRISTIANS (190 pages plus two pages of advertising at the end) with full page frontispiece showing Saints undergoing tribulations and 22 woodcuts in the text

3) PIOUS BREATHINGS OR THE SOUL'S ASCENT TO THE THRONE OF GRACE being Forms of Devotion upon all Occasions Ordinary and Extraordinary (191 pages plus one page advert).

The second, third and fourth parts all have a woodcut frontispiece at the start and there are woodcuts throughout all 3 parts.

This is a rebind opportunity. I would advise that you split it into three projects - two complete works and one piece missing the first 28 pages. It will also need to be resewn. Dark brown leather hardboards but half the front board's leather is missing and one corner of the rear board. Spine leather is entirely missing, and is down to the cloth underneath. Front board detached, rear board has been stitched to the spine cloth to keep it in place. Binding is very loose with the first few pages ripped. There is ink writing to a few pages and especially to the flyleaf. Condition: poor but these books are rare. 16 x 9 cm.
