1681H0011a2-a6b-b7c-c7d-2315 pages. Small square octavo 7 ¾" x 6 ¼" bound in full leather. Second edition. Thomas Barlow 1607-1691 was an English academic and clergyman who became Provost of The Queen's College Oxford and Bishop of Lincoln. He was considered in his own times and by Edmund Venables writing in the Dictionary of National Biography to have been a trimmer a reputation mixed in with his academic and other writings on casuistry. His views were in fact Calvinist and strongly anti-Catholic and he was one of the last English bishops to identify the Pope as the Antichrist He worked in the 1660s for the 'comprehension' of nonconformists but supported the crackdown of the mid-1680s; and declared loyalty to James II of England on his accession having strongly supported the Exclusion Bill which would have denied the Catholic James the succession. Pope Pius V's response to Queen Elizabeth I of England assuming governance of the Church of England included support of the imprisoned Mary Queen of Scots and her supporters in their attempts to take over England "ex turpissima muliebris libidinis servitute". A brief English Catholic uprising the Rising of the North had just failed. Pius then issued a bull Regnans in Excelsis dated April 27 1570 that declared Elizabeth I a heretic and released her subjects from their allegiance to her. In response Elizabeth who had thus far tolerated Catholic worship in private now actively started persecuting them.

4951BENJAMIN LINCOLN 1733-1810. Lincoln was a Revolutionary War general and the Secretary of War from 1781 to 1783. SURRENDER OF CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA. On April 2 1780 10000 British soldiers under the command of General Henry Clinton sieged 3000 Continental Army soldiers at Charleston. On May 12 the over-matched forces surrendered marking the largest Continental Army capitulation of the American Revolution. General Cornwallis was left in charge of British forces and Lincoln was eventually traded for a British general. After the Charleston surrender a guerilla war broke out in South Carolina. When the British surrendered at Yorktown Benjamin Lincoln was there to accept Cornwallis’s sword. D. 2pg. 8†x 10â€. 1780. Charleston South Carolina. A contemporary draft of General Lincoln’s articles of capitulation for Charleston: “Article of Capitulation proposed by Major General Lincoln – Art. 1 that all acts of hostilities and Work…Between the Besiegers and Besieged Until…of Capitulation shall be Agreed on signed…Executed or be collectively Rejected. Art. 2. The town and fortifications shall…be surrendered to the Commander in Chief of the…Forces such as they now stand. Art. 3. The Continental Troops and Sailors – with their baggage shall be Conducted to a Place to be Agreed on – where they will Remain Prisoners of War – until Exchanged – White Prisoners they shall be supplied with Good and Wholesome Provisions in such quantity as is Served out to the Troops of his Britanic sic Majesty. Art. 4. The militia now in garrison shall be permitted to return to their respectives homes and…be secured in their persons and property. Art. 5. The sick and Wounded shall…be continued under the care…Art. 6. The Garrison shall at an hour appointed march out with shouldered arms Drums beating and Colours Flying to a place to be agreed on where they will pile their arms. Art 7. That the French Consul his house papers and other movable property shall be protected and untouched and a proper time granted to him for retiring to…that may afterwards be agreed upon between…Commander in Chief of the British forces. Art. 8. That the citizens shall be protected in their persons and Property. Art. 10. That a twelve months time be allowed all such as do not choose to continue under the British Government to dispose of their Effects real and personal in the State with out any molestation or to remove such part thereof as they choose as well as themselves and families and that during that time they or any of them may have it as their option to reside occasionally in town or country. Art 11. That the same protection to their persons and properties and the same time for the removal of their Effects be given to the subjects of France and Spain as required for the citizens in the previous articles. Art 12. That a vessel be permitted to go to Philadelphia with the General’s dispatches which are not to be opened. Signed May 8th 1780 B Lincolnâ€. This likely is an early draft since Article 6 is not included; that stated “The officers of the army and navy shall keep their horses swords pistols and baggage which shall not be searched and retain their servants.†It is in an unknown hand and is not in the writing of Lincoln’s aide-de-camp Hodijah Baylies. The document just underwent a professional restoration to remove silking and improve the overall condition although I would still rate the document’s state as fair. There are paper losses that affect some words but the legibility has improved considerably. unknown books

16747BOOTH John Wilkes. Assassin of President Abraham Lincoln. Civil War-dated printed broadside playbill 4.5" x 13" inches advertising a performance of Brian Boroihme at the Boston Museum where Booth was a regular performer for May 2 1862 exactly three years before the Lincoln assassination. Before becoming famous as a political radical and a murderer Booth was an erratic and popular performer from the well-known Booth family of Shakespearean actors. A supporter of slavery and the South he participated in the arrest and execution of abolitionist John Brown in 1859. In the fall of 1864 he hatched a plan to kidnap President Abraham Lincoln but the scheme failed. He then concocted the plot to assassinate Lincoln which he did in Ford's Theatre on April 14 1865 before jumping to the stage and allegedly crying out "Sic semper tyrannis! The South is avenged!" Booth was located and killed twelve days later. At the time of the playbill Both was performing in at least twelve pieces; including lead roles in Invisible Prince on May 9 and 12 1862 Peg Woffington on May 9 1862 Richard III on May 12 14 and 21 1862 and The Robbers on May 21 1862. It is very likely Booth contributed to and attended the live performance of Brian Boroihme advertised in the present playbill. In near fine condition. unknown books
