Warner (William) Albions England: A Continued Historie of the Same Kingdome, title with typographic decoration, with final blank f., B1 and I1 with short tears, small rust-hole to G4 with loss to single letter of text, [STC 25083], Edm. Bollifant for George Potter, 1602 bound with A Continuance of Albions England, first edition, title with woodcut device, with initial f. blank except for signature, [STC 25085], Felix Kyngston for George Potter, 1606, together 2 works in 1 vol., woodcut initials and chapter heading ornaments, dampstaining and some browning, occasional ink inscriptions, bookplate, 18th century calf, rubbed and wear to extremities, lower joint cracked, upper cover detached along with endpapers, 4to.*** Warner's celebrated part-biographical poem, first published in 1586 and augmented every few years until the author's death in 1609.Provenance: M.

Lucas (Ann) The Voice of the Dead to the Living. Or, She being Dead yet Speaketh, first and only edition, title shaved at foot ?with loss to date of imprint, heavy inking to head of title and A1, closely shaved at head and foot, affecting a few page-numbers, signatures and catchwords, occasionally touching text, light foxing and browning, bookplate to endpaper, 19th century half calf, small 8vo, Printed for A. Bettesworth, [c.1700].*** An unrecorded book by a local woman of Rugby. Ostensibly published posthumously, The Voice of the Dead to Living is a short spiritual work concluding with a hymn. Lucas refers to two local figures, an Elizabeth Moor and Mr. Jeneway, both referred to as Saints. The date given on the spine is 1689 but it is likely later as the earliest title with A. Bettesworth at the Red Lion in the imprint recorded by ESTC is 1698. A small printed note at the conclusion of the work gives a good idea of the limited nature of the print run: "Friendly reader: If that these weighty Considerations should be reckoned not worth laying out one Penny, be pleased to Read it Gratis, keep it Clean, and Return it to Morrow." Provenance: A. H. Bloxam (bookplate and his notes on front free endpaper)

The vestments controversy was ostensibly concerning clerical dress but grew to encompass the notion of nonconformity in church practices. The debate reached a peak in 1566 with the publication of Robert Crowley's 'A Briefe Discourse Against the Outwarde Apparel of the Popishe Church' to which this is a response commissioned by (and sometimes attributed to) Archbishop Matthew Parker.

RUGBY CLUB HOUSE: EARLY 1920s MATCH-WORN WALES INTERNATIONAL JERSEY for Stephen Morris, embroidered Prince of Wales Feathers, makers label to inner hem, R.W. Forsyth Ltd, Athletic Outfitters, Glasgow & Edinburgh'. ''Steve'' Morris (1 September 1896 – 29 May 1965) was a formidable Welsh rugby union flanker renowned for his physical prowess and unwavering commitment to the sport. Born in Newport, Wales, Morris dedicated his entire club career to Cross Keys RFC, where he not only played but later served as the club’s chairman. Morris began playing rugby before World War I and continued during his service in the British Army. Upon returning to Wales, he resumed playing for Cross Keys, making a notable appearance in April 1919 against the touring New Zealand Army XV. His loyalty to Cross Keys was evident; he reportedly declined a £1,000 offer to switch to rugby league, choosing to remain with his club. In 1931, he was part of a joint Abertillery/Cross Keys team that faced the touring South African side. Morris earned his first cap for Wales in 1920, becoming the first player from Cross Keys to represent the national team. Over five years, he accumulated 19 caps, captaining Wales in his penultimate match against France in 1925. His aggressive playing style was both a strength and a liability; he missed the Ireland match after being sent off in a club game. However, his toughness was invaluable, notably in a 1923 match against a particularly physical French team. Outside rugby, Morris worked as a coal miner at Risca Colliery, often labouring in the mines on Saturday mornings before playing matches in the afternoon. Despite his intimidating presence on the field—standing 6 feet tall and weighing over 14 stone—he was known off the field as a cheerful and genial individual. Upon his death in 1965, his ashes were scattered at Pandy Park, the home ground of Cross Keys RFC, cementing his lifelong bond with the club. Steve Morris remains a significant figure in Welsh rugby history, exemplifying the dedication and resilience characteristic of the sport during his era.Provenance: by family descent, TorfaenComments: small hole mid-chest below badge, staining to collar, condition commensurate with age
