Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Born during the first fervour of the Crusaders, the Templars were flattered and aggrandized as long as their great military power and religious fanaticism could be made available for the support of the Eastern church and the retention of the Holy Land; but when the crescent had ultimately triumphed over the cross, and the religious and military enthusiasm of Christendom had died away, they encountered the basest ingratitude in return for the services they had rendered to the Christian faith, and were plundered, persecuted, and condemned to a cruel death by those who ought in justice to have been their defenders and supporters. The memory of these holy warriors is embalmed in all our recollections of the wars of the cross; they were the bulwarks of the Latin kingdom of Jerusalem during the short period of its existence, and were the last band of Europe's host that contended for the possession of Palestine. To the vows of the monk and the austere life of the convent, they added the discipline of the camp, and the stern duties of the military life, joining "the fine vocation of the sword and lance" with the holy zeal and body-bending toil of a poor brotherhood. The vulgar notion that they were as wicked as they were fearless and brave, has not yet been entirely exploded; but it is hoped that the copious account of the proceedings against the order in this country given in the ensuing volume, will dispel many unfounded prejudices still entertained against the fraternity, and excite emotions of admiration for their constancy and courage, and of pity for their unmerited and cruel fate.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - This great house of prayer, the most holy Mussulman Temple in the world after that of Mecca, is erected over the spot where 'Solomon began to build the house of the Lord at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where the Lord appeared unto David his father, in the place that David had prepared in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite'. It remains to this day in a state of perfect preservation, and is one of the finest specimens of Saracenic architecture in existence. It is entered by four spacious doorways, each door facing one of the cardinal points; the Bab el Djannat, or gate of the garden, on the north; the Bab el Kebla, or gate of prayer, on the south; the Bab ib'n el Daoud, or the gate of the son of David, on the east; and the Bal, el Garbi, on the west. By the Arabian geographers it is called Beit Allah, the house of God, also Beit Almokaddas, or Beit Almacdes, the holy house. From it Jerusalem derives its Arabic name, el Kods, the holy, el Schereef, the noble, and el Mobarek, the blessed; while the governors of the city, instead of the customary high-sounding titles of sovereignty and dominion, take the simple title of Hami, or protectors. 'The Brothers of the Temple, whom the Lord hath deigned to raise up, and whom by an especial Providence he preserves for the defence of this kingdom, desiring to obtain from the Holy See the confirmation of their institution, and a rule for their particular guidance, we have determined to send to you the two knights, Andrew and Gondemar, men as much distinguished by their military exploits as by the splendour of their birth, to obtain from the Pope the approbation of their order, and to dispose his holiness to send succour and subsidies against the enemies of the faith, reunited in their design to destroy us, and to invade our christian territories.' The rules to which the Templars had subjected themselves were described by the master, and the holy Abbot of Clairvaux was confided the task of revising and correcting these rules, and of framing a code of statutes fit and proper for the governance of the great religion and military fraternity of the Temple. The name and reputation of the Knights Templars speedily spread throughout Europe, and various illustrious pilgrims from the far west aspired to become members of the holy fraternity.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Binding: Full Contemporary Calf Leather Condition: Good to Very Good (Period Wear / Unique Provenance) An appealing 1769 Edinburgh printing of Volume I of Joseph Addison's "Miscellaneous Works in Verse and Prose," printed and sold by J. Robertson. This volume features the essential foundational biographical prefix, "some Account of the Life and Writings of the Author," compiled by his close friend and literary executor, Thomas Tickell.What elevates this copy is its outstanding regional provenance. The upper margin of the title page bears an elegant, crisp 19th-century ownership inscription in iron gall ink: "Eliza Galt, Coleraine June 16th 1804." Furthermore, the rear flyleaf contains detailed, hand-inked cross-references highlighting specific tourist locations (including Marino, Loretto, Vesuvius, Capua, Rome, and Geneva) alongside specialized subjects like "Musick" and "a Hermit." This reveals that a member of the prominent Galt family utilized this compendium as a direct scholarly guide to Addison's famous Italian travelogues contained within the set. Binding: Housed in its genuine 18th-century full calf leather binding. The spine showcases traditional raised bands, blind tooling, and remnants of the original gilt-lettered leather labels ("ADDISON"). The leather demonstrates genuine historic shelf wear, rubbing to the outer joints and spine extremities, and lightly bumped corners, holding a lovely antique patina.Interior: Complete through the final index pages. The textual blocks remain firm, tight, and well-attached to the binding structures. The handmade rag paper displays natural light toning and faint, isolated foxing spots, but remains remarkably crisp, clean, and flexible.Inscriptions & Markings: Clear, un-smudged provenance markings including the 1804 Galt signature on the title page and a highly legible, hand-written travelers' location guide on the terminal flyleaf. This scarce 1769 Scottish imprint by J. Robertson highlights the widespread popularity of Addison's prose in Enlightenment-era Britain outside of London. Curated originally by Thomas Tickell, this collection preserved Addison's celebrated poems, stage plays, and travel observations for the generations of Grand Tourists who followed in his footsteps. The "Advertisement" Page: The left side clarifies that this 4-volume set—when combined with standalone editions of The Tatler, The Spectator, The Guardian, and The Freeholder—forms a comprehensive collection of Addison's life works in a "Twelves" (duodecimo) format. This 1769 edition is printed in a compact duodecimo (12mo) format (measuring approximately 6 x 4.25 inches).…
