[NEWMAN, John Henry, Cardinal]. THE CHURCH OF THE FATHERS. London: 
J.C.F. & J. Rivington, 1840. First Edition. Small octavo (4-1/4" x 
6-3/4") bound in contemporary full brown pebbled morocco leather by 
Fazakerley of Liverpool, "Bookbinder to H.M. the King." This early work 
by the author of APOLOGIA PRO VITA SUA and an early proponent of the 
Oxford Movement was published without identification of its author on 
the title page. Slight aging of text; joints rubbed but covers firm, 
tape shadows at head and heel of spine. Armorial bookplate of a priest 
on the front pastedown. Very Good and uncommon.

We don't know if the claim of binding for the king is true, but we do 
know that Fazakerley was hired by Brigham Young to bind the First 
British Edition of THE BOOK OF MORMON. (#014543)        $450.00
