encourage a rapid sale. (The words announcing <strong>the</strong> “edition” are printed<br />

between <strong>the</strong> volume number and <strong>the</strong> imprint.) In all five issues, <strong>the</strong> same<br />

misprints persist. The genuine second edition was <strong>the</strong> one-volume “Library<br />

Edition” which Chapman and Hall published in 1862.’ The rarity <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first<br />

issue <strong>of</strong> ‘Great Expectations’ has been attributed to it being almost entirely<br />

taken up by libraries. It is believed that 1000 copies <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first issue and 750<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second were printed, and that probably most <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first and more than<br />

half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> second were purchased by Mudie’s Select Library. All <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first<br />

five issues are rare in original cloth.<br />

THE ANTIQUARIAN LIBRARY OF EMERITUS PROFESSOR DAVID A. PAILIN<br />

This fine collection <strong>of</strong> antiquarian books relating to <strong>the</strong> Philosophy <strong>of</strong><br />

Religion was assembled by Pr<strong>of</strong>essor Pailin (University <strong>of</strong> Manchester)<br />

over a period <strong>of</strong> almost forty years as a working library. It provides a<br />

comprehensive survey <strong>of</strong> thought about <strong>the</strong> nature and content <strong>of</strong> faith<br />

in this period. Major works and treatises on <strong>the</strong> subject are present,<br />

as well as lesser-known texts, including items on moral philosophy,<br />

arguments about deism, collected works, critical works, plus bound<br />

volumes <strong>of</strong> tracts and pamphlets. The majority <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> works, which<br />

total some 1,180 items, are in English, and a number <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> books are<br />

extremely scarce. Condition is mostly good, with repairs having been<br />

carried out where necessary in a sympa<strong>the</strong>tic manner.<br />

'My collection <strong>of</strong> antiquarian books started accidentally. One or two<br />

volumes were given to me by relatives (including Samuel Clarke’s<br />

Three Practical Discourses, 1721). John Robinson’s Observations<br />

Divine and Morall, 1625, was acquired in <strong>the</strong> early 1960s when I was<br />

one <strong>of</strong> several Methodist ministers who were invited to take a few<br />

volumes from <strong>the</strong> library <strong>of</strong> a recently deceased Church member. I<br />

took this volume because its author shared <strong>the</strong> name <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>n<br />

somewhat notorious Bishop <strong>of</strong> Woolwich, thinking that, if opportunity<br />

arose, I could tease people by quoting ‘John Robinson’: it was many<br />

years later that I discovered that <strong>the</strong> earlier John Robinson had been<br />

pastor to <strong>the</strong> Pilgrim Fa<strong>the</strong>rs in Leiden. The collected works <strong>of</strong> John<br />

Wesley in sixteen volumes (1810-1821) came from <strong>the</strong> same source. I bought <strong>the</strong> four-volume collected works <strong>of</strong> John Locke (1768) because<br />

it seemed useful for me to have at hand <strong>the</strong> text <strong>of</strong> his Essay concerning Human Understanding while I was completing a <strong>the</strong>sis on Newman’s<br />

Grammar <strong>of</strong> Assent. It was only in <strong>the</strong> second half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> 1960s that <strong>the</strong> collection started to have a focus, even if a somewhat fuzzy one.<br />

On being appointed to an Assistant Lectureship in <strong>the</strong> Philosophy <strong>of</strong> Religion (a position so lowly that it was soon abolished), I started work<br />

on a doctoral <strong>the</strong>sis. While <strong>the</strong> original aim <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>sis was to examine how major nineteenth and twentieth-century philosophers and<br />

<strong>the</strong>ologians had understood <strong>the</strong> logic and content <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ological assertions in response to fundamental questions posed by <strong>the</strong> works <strong>of</strong><br />

David Hume and Immanuel Kant, I began by enquiring into <strong>the</strong> background <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir works in <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>ological debates about <strong>the</strong> relationship<br />

between faith, belief and reason that took place in <strong>the</strong> preceding decades, starting with <strong>the</strong> views <strong>of</strong> Locke.<br />

Eventually this study became so extensive that it formed <strong>the</strong> subject <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>sis. I examined how some argued that belief must be limited<br />

to what rational reflection alone can determine and o<strong>the</strong>rs that belief may extend beyond those limits by including <strong>the</strong> content <strong>of</strong> rationally<br />

au<strong>the</strong>nticated revelations, while yet o<strong>the</strong>rs, in contrast, cast religious, <strong>the</strong>ological and philosophical doubts on <strong>the</strong> competence <strong>of</strong> reason in<br />

such matters. While I had access to a good library in <strong>the</strong> university, it was much more convenient to have <strong>the</strong> books that I wanted to study<br />

carefully at home. Accordingly, as opportunity arose, I began to buy books relevant to <strong>the</strong> debates about faith and reason from <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

seventeenth to <strong>the</strong> start <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> nineteenth century (i.e. <strong>the</strong> period from Locke to William Paley).'<br />

George Edmund Street (1824-1881) is considered by many to be one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

greatest Gothic Revival architects in Europe. As a young man he was first<br />

apprenticed to an architect in Winchester, and <strong>the</strong>n to Sir George Gilbert Scott<br />

in 1844. Just four years later, Street left to establish his own practice, which<br />

was known particularly for <strong>the</strong> many church commissions carried out in Britain<br />

and abroad. Street’s most celebrated secular work, <strong>the</strong> Law Courts in London,<br />

was begun in 1866, and he is recorded as having made 3000 drawings for<br />

<strong>the</strong> project, leaving his son to finish <strong>the</strong> building after his death. Street’s <strong>of</strong>fice<br />

played a pivotal role in <strong>the</strong> Arts and Crafts Movement; both Philip Webb and<br />

William Morris worked with him as did Richard Norman Shaw and both<br />

Seddings. Like Pugin, Butterfield, Scott and Burges, Street was interested in<br />

<strong>the</strong> building as a complete entity, and designed, amongst o<strong>the</strong>r things,<br />

furniture, textiles, stained glass and metalwork, as well as tiles. One <strong>of</strong><br />

Street’s most important restoration commissions was <strong>the</strong> refurbishment <strong>of</strong><br />

Christ Church Ca<strong>the</strong>dral in Dublin between 1871 and 1878. This restoration<br />

scheme was funded by vast sums <strong>of</strong> money donated by local distiller Henry<br />

Roe, making it possible to pave <strong>the</strong> whole floor with tiles <strong>of</strong> every description;<br />

Street’s designs for <strong>the</strong> project were subsequently exhibited at <strong>the</strong> Paris<br />

Exhibition <strong>of</strong> 1878.<br />
