The Architectural Library: I. & J. Taylor, 1790. Illustrated with an engraved frontispiece, 28 engraved plates, octavo, pp 14, + two-page publisher's catalogue at the rear, age-toning and some signs of use internally though this is usually restricted to the margins, with the contemporary signature of V. Owen Smythe of Condover Park, and loosely inserted is the later armorial bookplate of Reginald Cholmondeley of Condover Hall, also loosely inserted is a further publishers' catalogue of 16 pages, uncut and partially unopened, the first page of which is detached; finely bound in full red crushed morocco with ornate gilt decoration on both covers, the spine gilt with raised bands and a small black morocco label, contained in a custom-made box of marbled paper over boards, a red calf spine and cloth lined; the binder is not known but the inked initials "T.A.B. 1974" on the rear endpaper may identify them?. [From the library of the gardening historian Anthony Huxley, with his stamp on the front endpaper. RARE.[ First published in 1767, the Sir John Soane Library suggests this is probably the third edition of this pattern book, although the second could also be possible. Apparently highly influential, though nothing seems to be known of its author.]. New Edition. Full morocco in box. Very Good.

Description:
1537 1ed Orthodox Saint John Chrysostom On the Priesthood + Brixius MarburgA rare 16th-century printing of works of John Chrysostom. Chrysostom was one of the most important Early Christian Church authors and preachers and is most remembered for his sermons and homilies. He preached on many different subjects, but his most frequented topic was helping the needy. Chrysostom calls for followers of Jesus to set aside their material desires to help the poor, often in a way that shamed the rich and guilted them in to giving.
"Do you pay such honor to your excrements as to receive them into a silver chamber-pot when another man made in the image of God is perishing in the cold?" (Chrysostom in Liebeschuetz)
One of his most important treatises was 'On the Priesthood' in which he describes his experiences becoming a priest and living as a priest. Interestingly, this work was popular during his lifetime as he made references to it in his other works.
