Description:
London: Tinsley Brothers. Good. 1863. Third Edition. Cloth. On offer interesting book with lots of intrigue and special atributes. Titled "Border and Bastille" it is written by the English journalist/author George Alfred Lawrence and it is the story of his life from the time he left England and attempted to join the Confederate Army because he sympathized with the Southern cause and wished to experience and write about the War.

Description:
France. Good with no dust jacket. 1850. Ephemera. On offer is is an excellent explanation of a Roman Catholic teaching in mid-19th century France. The manuscript is titled Instruction Sur les Qualites de la Confession (Instruction On the Qualities of Confession). It opens with the Latin quotation of the Biblical verse of John 20: 23 Quorum remiseritis pecata (sic) et quorum remittuntur eis et quorum retinueritis retenta sunt (Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven them, and whose sins you shall retain they are retained). This verse served as a cornerstone of clerical authority for many many centuries and was a source of clerical power, especially among a rural, less-educated population. The author is unknown but clearly a priest. This may have been written as a sermon or perhaps as a talk. Throughout the text, there are corrections, strikeouts and edits which show that this was very much a document that was laboured over. It is an outstanding description of the…
