Show moreThis book for children was written to encourage children to engage with the Old Testament scriptures, with a particular focus on the nature and purpose of the Tabernacle. In this, the third edition, the woodcuts of the former editions have been replaced by steel engravings. The subject of the Tabernacle in the wilderness is initially considered in the form of a series of questions, which the author answers with quotations from the Bible. The book offers guidance to moral conduct and advice on how to value material objects, and gives an overview of spiritual teachings concerning sin and atonement. The book concludes with a chapter about the Ark of the Covenant, which continues to describe the architecture of the Tabernacle and its functions. by Frank H. White. Show less

Show moreAlbum collecting 24 of the 28 plates engraved after the drawings by Francis Smith as an illustration to the account by Lord Baltimore printed in 1768. Frederick Calvert, 6th Baron Baltimore, was an English nobleman. He lived in Istanbul between 1763 and 1764. He travelled to the East in the company of artist Fr. Smith, whose drawings illustrated Lord Baltimore's editions. In 1768, he was charged with rape, and although he was acquitted, left England in the face of public hostility. Reaching Naples in July or August 1771, Calvert died there on 14 September. The collection was probably assembled by the Italian engraver Carlo Nolli, to whose work the rest of the plates are related. He acquired directly or posthumously the copper plates by Lord Baltimore, who spent his last months in Naples in 1771. V. Grand Vizier -- VI. Reis Effendi, Principal Secretary of State. -- VII.
