They have certainly grown more beautiful during my absence, and are still becoming more perfect, and perfecter, and perfectest.

Were it not a sottish arrogancie, that wee should thinke our selves to be the perfectest thing of this Universe?

It is more than this, the whole world's map, which you may here discern in its perfectest motion, justling and turning.

Well, sir, if there'd been a brass band to bust out some music, then, it would 'a' been just the perfectest thing I ever see, and Tom Sawyer he said the same.

Molyneux's globes were the first to be constructed in such a way that they were unaffected by humidity at sea. They were made of flour-paste, an unusual material for the time. Simon Forman remarked that Molyneux's moulding or casting process was "the only way to caste [anything] whatsoever in perfecte forme ... and yt is the perfectest and trewest waie of all wayes ... and this was the wai that Mullenax did use to cast flowere [flour] in the verie forme".

According to scholar Nathalia Wright, the style of Psalms is imitated in the passage where Pierre and Lucy one morning ride into the country, which is described in the manner of "a prose paean which has many of the characteristics of a Hebrew poem": :Oh, praised be the beauty of this earth; the beauty, and the bloom, and the mirthfulness thereof! The first worlds made were winter worlds; the second made, were vernal worlds; the third, and last, and perfectest, was this summer world of ours. In the cold and nether spheres preachers preach of earth, as we of Paradise above. Oh, there, my friends, they say, they have a season, in their language known as summer.

Brent and bassist Shawn Conley first played together in 2010 in Brent's short-lived project The Joe Brent Quartet, which also featured clarinetist Hideaki Aomori and guitarist Nadav Lev. However, when Brent's commitments to Regina Spektor's touring band and his teaching responsibilities at Mannes College spread his time too thin, he put the quartet project on hold. In 2012, he started performing as a duo with Caswell, and after releasing Joe Brent & Sara Caswell EP together in 2013, they decided to add a bass player and Brent called on Conley once again. After making the finals of the 2014 Concert Artists Guild Victor Elmaleh Competition, they were signed to Sunnyside Records and released their debut album, Perfectest Herald in October, 2015.

In his Microcosmographie (1628), a series of satirical portraits of contemporary England, John Earle (1601–1665), described it thus: > [Paul's walk] is the land's epitome, or you may call it the lesser isle of > Great Britain. It is more than this, the whole world's map, which you may > here discern in its perfectest motion, justling and turning. It is a heap of > stones and men, with a vast confusion of languages; and were the steeple not > sanctified, nothing liker Babel. The noise in it is like that of bees, a > strange humming or buzz mixed of walking tongues and feet: it is a kind of > still roar or loud whisper ... It is the great exchange of all discourse, > and no business whatsoever but is here stirring and a-foot ... It is the > general mint of all famous lies, which are here like the legends of popery, > first coined and stamped in the church.
