Prior owner name in ink to front free-endpaper and title page. Pages soiled and thumbed at edges. Association copy: Armorial bookplate of Joseph Gillow (1850-1921) to front free-endpaper. Best known for his authorship of the Biographical and Bibliographical Dictionary of the English Catholics (5 vols, 1885-1902), Gillow was an English Roman Catholic antiquary and bio-bibliographer, referred to by Thomas Bridgett in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography as 'the Plutarch of the English Catholics.' Thomas Ward (1652-1708) was an English author who converted to Catholicism. His most popular work, 'England's Reformation,' is a poem in four cantos in the metre of Hudibras. It first appeared posthumously in 1710, and since then in several editions. This work on the Protestant Bible, based on the research of English Catholic priest Gregory Martin (1542-1582), has been frequently republished since its initial appearance in 1688. Bishop John Milner (1752-1826) wrote a pamphlet to defend it from one of the Protestant attacks which its republication early in the nineteenth century provoked. Note that this is an oversized book, so additional postage will be required for international or priority orders. ~SP12~. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers SP12-0941-1520
