Notes on the Miracles of Our Lord. Fourth Edition, Revised [together with] Notes on the Parables of Our Lord. Sixth Edition, Revised. SPLENDID NINETEENTH CENTURY ARMORIAL BINDING

2 vols., roy. 8vo., very handsomely bound in a splendid mid-nineteenth century armorial binding of full near-black calf, sides with triple gilt frame border stopped at corners by gilt rosettes, enclosing a triple frame border similarly stopped in blind, the whole containing an elaborate armorial bearing blocked in gilt, backs gilt with five raised bands, all compartments tooled with multiple frame borders in gilt and blind, first compartment tooled in gilt with the Tudor rose surmounted by a crown, last compartment tooled in gilt with a figurative portcullis surmounted by similar crown, leather labels gilt, blind doublures, marbled endpapers, marbled edges, an excellent example of a private armorial binding of the period. A lovely set of Archbishop Trench's two major works (first published in 1846 and 1841 respectively) both of which are keystones of Victorian theology. The lists of contents in both volumes have been skilfully and neatly annotated in a contemporary and scholarly hand (probably that of the original owner) to attribute to each miracle and parable the appropriate point in the clerical calendar.
