MYERS, Robin, Andrew BURNETT, and Renae SATTERLEY.

‘I do not eat the bread of idleness’: Dr Andrew Coltée Ducarel 1713–1785, Huguenot, Lawyer, Librarian, Antiquary, and Numismatist.

This volume brings together revised versions of four of Robin Myers’s papers on aspects of Ducarel’s life and work published between 1994 and 2002, and ‘The Life and Times of the Ducarel Brothers’, her recent introductory essay to Two Huguenot Brothers: Letters of Andrew and James Coltée Ducarel, 1732–1773 (The Garendon Press, 2019), which has been updated with a section by Adam Pollock on the life of the Ducarel children among other Huguenot families in Greenwich. It also contains new essays by Robin Myers on the collaboration and developing friendship between Ducarel and Philip Morant (1700–1770), historian of Essex, and on Doctors’ Commons, an institution whose name most know but few understand. To complement these Renae Satterley, Librarian of the Middle Temple, contributes an essay on Doctors’ Commons Library, and Andrew Burnett, former Keeper of Coins and Medals at the British Museum, on Ducarel as numismatist. The appendix comprises a family tree from Ducarel to the present day, an annotated list of works of Andrew Ducarel, a timeline of Ducarel’s life, and bibliography. Penelope Bulloch, Christine Ferdinand, and Lorren Boniface helped to edit the work.

A HOUSE COPY FRY, Theodore.

A brief Memoir of Francis Fry, F.S.A. of Bristol. By his Son … Not published.

First edition. Francis Fry (1803–1886) of Bristol, the preeminent student and collector of English Bibles in his time, was also an active partner in the Quaker family firm of chocolate and porcelain manufacturers and type founders. Among his publications were a facsimile of the first complete edition of Tyndale’s New Testament, then in Bristol Baptist College (acquired by the British Library in 1994), until recently believed to be unique (1862); A Description of the Great Bible, 1539 illustrated with original leaves to supplement the plates (1865); and The Bible by Coverdale, MDXXXV (1867). In 1890 some 1200 volumes of his collection of the Scriptures in English, together with editions in Welsh, Irish, Gaelic, and Anglo-Saxon, were acquired by the British and Foreign Bible Society for £6000 and forms one of the cornerstones of their library.
