1766376944London: J. Almon 1766. First English edition. 62pp. Without the terminal ad leaf. 8vo. Modern full speckled calf spine gilt red morocco label. First English edition. 62pp. Without the terminal ad leaf. 8vo. The scarce first British edition after the first edition printed in Philadelphia in December 1765 of Dickinson's first work an important tract against the Stamp Act. Here Dickinson argued against stricter trade regulations that drained the colonies of currency and warned that taxing the colonies without their consent was a step toward slavery. "Considered only as an essay in economic theory the pamphlet is notable for its discussion of paper money of flows of trade and of the mechanisms and effects of taxation are sophisticated for the time.But the essay is more than a technical treatise. Stylistically it has the vivid phraseology the dramatic exclamatory italicization and paragraphing and the aptness of illustration that would soon make Dickinson the most widely read pamphleteer in the colonies" Bailyn. <br /> <br /> This can be exemplified by the culminating section of this work in which Dickinson writes: "Late measures have indeed excited an universal and unexampled grief and indignation throughout the colonies. What man who wishes the welfare of America can view without pity without passion her restricted and almost stagnated trade with its numerous train of evils-taxes torn from her without her consent-Her legislative assemblies the principal pillars of her liberty crushed into insignificance-A formidable force established in the midst of peace to bleed her into obedience-The sacred right of trial by jury violated by the erection of arbitrary and unconstitutional jurisdictions-and general poverty discontent and despondence stretching themselves over his unoffending country"<br /> <br /> Indeed it was in the wake of the dissent following the Stamp Act that Dickinson emerged as arguably the first hero of the Revolution an important spokeman against British tyranny. His Letters from a Farmer in Pennsylvania published in 1768 would put him at the forefront of the Patriot movement and the philosophical underpinnings of that work can be found in his Late Regulations. It is widely believed that Benjamin Franklin then in London as the colonial agent for Pennsylvania arranged for the work's publication there timed with his famous testimony before the House of Commons protesting the Stamp Act.<br /> <br /> Both the Philadelphia and London first editions of Dickinson's Late Regulations are considerably more scarce than his Letters from a Farmer with only a single example of either edition appearing in the auction records in the last quarter century.

4496REVEREND JOHN PAGE 1738-1783. Page received from Harvard College his AB in 1761 and his AM in 1764. He was ordained as a Congregational minister in Danville New Hampshire in 1763. He died of smallpox on January 29 1783 after tending to sick parishoners. THE STAMP ACT. In the wake of Britain’s expensive victory in the French and Indian War Parliament decided to tax the colonists to pay for the conflict. In 1765 the British government required that materials printed in the colonies use paper produced in London and bearing an embossed revenue stamp; this included newspapers legal documents etc. Additionally Parliament stated that the tax had to be paid with British currency not cheap colonial paper money. The colonists thought the tax was unfair and that they had no say in its passage. Street protests erupted in several states and there were political measures taken too. In October 1765 the Stamp Act Congress attended by nine colonies was held in New York City. Across the Atlantic Parliament got the message about the Stamp Act and voted to repeal it in February 1766. The Stamp Act however was the forerunner to the Townsend Act and other unpopular measures Parliament took and they are regarded as perhaps the first shot in the quest for Independence. AM. 3 ¾†x 6 ¼â€. 20 pgs. 1765-1766. No place Danville New Hampshire. A lengthy and fiery manuscript sermon delivered by Reverend John Page of Danville New Hampshire. The minister responded to the Stamp Act from the pulpit. In this manuscript which was likely his reading copy Reverend Page frequently uses abbreviations i.e. “Chh†for “Church†and “Jes†for “Jesusâ€. He mixes Biblical stories with what was occurring in the Colonies. The sermon begins as the usual fire and brimstone from the era with a mention of Revelation 3:2 “ Be watchful and strengthen the things which remain that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God†and then states: “This Chap begins with ye Epistle of our Jes & to ye Chh of is in Sardis wh was one of ye Seven Chh…in Asia after ye Glorious Description given of & yt he has ye Seven Spirit of - & ye Seven Stars – he acquaints ye Ch with her own State & Condition yt tho she had a Name to live – yet was dead – he then propounds a remedy & a Reason to excite them to ye else of ye same – ye Remedy in this to be watchful & to strengthen ye Things yt remain yt are ready to die – I shall consider at ye time only ye first of these – Be watchful & here I shall show…so yt we must keep ye at all times in all places upon all Occa when we are along & when we are in Company Abroad and at home…in Civil Affairs & moral…in our Religious Duties…â€. Several pages in Reverend Page turns his attention to the effect of the Stamp Act on his parishoners: “see as first hand as ye is truly ye case with New England & with America for several years past we have been involved in a controversy of a most interesting nature with Gt. Britain a Controversy wh Strikes at ye root of our Civil & gtly endangers our religious liberties & privileges – ye British parliament in wh we are in no sense represented have in performance of an assumed right to…Laws binds on ye Colonies in all Cases whtsover passed many Grevious Acts tends to destroy our Constitution rob us of our freedom & subject us to a state of Inglorious Servitude alarmed at these proceeds ye Colonies have referenced…& remonstrated but all in vain to who control ye Councils of Gt.

There are several more pages of Bible stories and sulfuric references. Danville New Hampshire is just a few miles inland from Portsmouth. In September 1765 a mob gathered and burned the local stamp collector in effigy. On November 1 1765 the day the Stamp Act official became law Portsmouthians had a mock funeral for Liberty complete with a coffin and ringing bells. Surely Reverend Page was aware of what was occurring in nearby Portsmouth as well as Boston just to the south. The manuscript is in very good condition with dark ink though written in a small hand. There are some light stains and a few of the pages have their edges chipped affecting a few words. The best most anti-British passages are mostly written on four smaller pages glued in the center of the manuscript. The American Book Prices Current shows no other Stamp Act sermons ever selling. A fine example of anti-British sentiment from a minister and it is representative of the energies and resentments that led to the American Revolution a decade later. unknown books

Being the Anniversary for the Election of His Majesty's Council for the Province. Boston: Green and Russell 1765. Slim octavo period-style full speckled calf gilt black morocco spine label uncut; pp. 3-5 6-59 1. $3800.First edition of the influential Boston pastor's most famous and most controversial work his May 29 1765 Election Day Sermon delivered two months after passage of the incendiary Stamp Actboldly proclaiming ""when tyranny is abroad 'submission is a crime'""one of only 700 copies published.Macaulay wrote that the Stamp Act of 1765 will be remembered ""as long as the globe lasts."" It marked a sharp break from the past as ""the first direct internal tax ever to be laid on the colonies by Parliament; indeed the first tax of any sort other than customs duties"" Morison 185. ""In the summer of 1765 as colonists waited for the stamp tax to go into effect voices of protest grew louder and drew support from many ministers"" Stout New England Soul 270. In particular the sermons of pastors such as Jonathan Mayhew and Andrew Eliot ""took on new vigor new relevance and meaning."" In Eliot's May 29 1765 Election Day sermon published the same year his words were infused with ""direct power for to proclaim from the pulpit in the year of the Stamp Act and before the assembled magistrates of Massachusetts that when tyranny is abroad 'submission is a crime' was an act of political defiance"" Bailyn Ideological Origins 6. Mindful of his audience which included Britain's powerful Massachusetts-Bay Governor Francis Bernard Eliot here underscores the colonists' objections by invoking their rights as Englishmen and the tradition of common law. ""Our fathers dearly bought the privileges we enjoy"" he declares: ""It is evident when they left their native land they thought the rights of Englishmen would follow them."" Yet throughout even as he might couch his language there remains his ""unexpectedly fierce insistence"" that submission to the perversion and misuse of power is not simply a crime: it is ""an offence against the state an offence against mankind an offence against God.'""Eliot's sermon distinctly offered a ""fine articulation of a tradition of thought familiar to every New Englander if not to every American exemplifying at the outset of the Revolutionary era a substratum of belief that underlay the developing rebellion."" Soon his correspondence ""initiated by the publication of the election sermon expresses with unique clarity the transformation of election-sermon platitudes into revolutionary imperatives. It is probably the most vivid expression of this transforming or triggering process in the entire literature of the Revolution"" Bailyn Faces of Revolution 111-13. In 1768 confronted with the arrival of a British warship and four regiments of troops Eliot would write to Harvard benefactor Thomas Hollis: ""'To have a standing army! Good God! What can be worse to a people who have tasted the sweets of liberty!' He was convinced he wrote that if the English government 'had not had their hands full at home they would have crushed the colonies"" Bailyn Ideological 114. ""Eliot weathered the Revolutionary War in Boston and at the request of General Washington made the official thanksgiving sermon on March 28 1776. He died on September 13 1778"" Harvard University.

A Major And Pessimistic Criticism Of Intellectuals Aka Leaders In Every Serious Field Particularly The Previous Fifty Years. A "Printing And The Mind Of Man" Title #419 Remarkable Not Just For Its Intelligent And Articulate Criticism Of Their Moral Failings In What They Did Or Failed To Do But Because It May Also Be Taken As An Indictment Of The Entire Intellectual Establishment And The Classes Which Populate It. It Demonstrates Not Just Their Particularized Faults And Deficiencies As Intellectuals But Also Their Lack Of Leadership In Public Discussion Of What Is Important For Society. He Shows The Lack Of Capability And Moral Fiber Of Intellectuals For The Task They Have Implicitly Chosen For Themselves That Is To Articulate What Are The Basic Purposes And Goals Of Individual Achievement And Social Life; He Implies They Lack The Particular Skills And Abilities And Knowledge And Fail To Provide Oversight And Programs And Efficiencies And Competencies And Budgets Essential To The Best Undertakings Of Government Institutions Businesses Social Associations And Even Families. The Intellectuals Have Failed Not Just To Provide Moral Leadership But Also To Undertake A Proper Moral Education Of Society So That Society Itself Can Self Correct. It Is Difficult To Find A Commercial Writer In English Who Can Discuss So Perceptively And At Such Length How The Members Of Society As A Whole Are So Utterly Hapless At The Moral Business Of Life. Modern Elites Would Have You Believe That He Is Talking Only About The "Opinion" Leaders Which Dominate The Media; But He Is Talking As Well About The Leaders In Business Education Medicine Civil Service Law Civic And Philanthropic Organizations And Academic Leaders As Well Including Social Sciences Engineering Science And All The Other Departments Of The Great Universities Which Blithely Claim Immunity From Findings That They Are Ethically Impaired. <br/> <br/> William Morrow & Company hardcover
176635807Boston: Edes & Gill 1766. Broadsheet newspaper extra. 2pp. Disbound.<br/> <br/>Provenance: Hannibal Hamlin inked stamp<br/> <br/>News of the repeal of the Stamp Act and the celebrations in Boston.<br/> <br/>Although news of the repeal of the Stamp Act had first reached Boston on May 16 1766 subsequent issues of Edes and Gill's Boston Gazette were devoted to the event. In this June 2 newspaper extra the first column and a half of the first page is given over to a lengthy critique of Governor Francis Bernard written anonymously by Dr. Joseph Warren under the pen name Paskalos under the above headline. During the Stamp Act controversy Bernard had written letters to the London Board of Trade which were deemed by the Sons of Liberty as unsympathetic to the American position. This harsh letter by Warren would be the first of many in a tirade against the colonial governor eventually leading Bernard to attempt and arrest Edes and Gill for libel. Also included in this newspaper extra are reports from the various Stamp Act celebrations in the colonies most notably in Philadelphia New York Charleston South Carolina and Boston. An extract from a Hartford letter however reports that a celebration with fireworks had caused a school house to explode resulting in significant casualties. Edes & Gill unknown books
125856<p>The sole UK printing published by Cygnet Press UK in 1979. One of 250 copies this unnumbered signed by both the author and artist to the limitation page. The BOOK is in near Fine condition. Oblong folio 30.5 x 44 cm. Original quarter blue cloth over patterned paper covered board with a repeat pattern of Battersea Power Station in red. Free from inscriptions. 16 colour lithographs by Glynn Boyd Harte printed at The Curwen Studio on Van Gelder all-rag mould-made paper. Type set in Monotype Walbaum. The original WRAPPER depicting a panoramic view towards Battersea Power Station is in Very Good condition. It is unclear as to whether all copies were issued with a wrapper. The wrapper is lightly chipped and rubbed at the edges with a couple of marks. A few nicks with some small closed tears but generally remains a very good copy. The wrapper is protected in a removable archival cover. John Betjeman writes of Boyd Harte in his foreword 'electricity has inspired him with its cleanness and invisibility'. Boyd Harte s lithographs of London power stations and former generating lighting and sub-stations are arresting in their simple colourful strength. At the time of publication 'Temples of Power' sparked a great interest in power stations amongst historians and is regarded by many to be directly responsible for the re-modelling of Bankside Power Station as Tate Modern.

Description: "This fascinating book tells the story of the creation of Nicholas Hawksmoor's celebrated eighteenth-century London church St George's Bloomsbury and its recent multimillion-dollar restoration underwritten by the World Monuments Fund in Britain and the Paul Mellon Estate. Commissioned by Parliament in 1711 and completed in 1731 the church best known from its depiction in Hogarth's 1751 engraving Gin Lane has been hailed as a masterpiece of Late Baroque architecture and one of the finest churches in England built between the Reformation and the nineteenth century. The renovation due to be completed in late 2007 with the reconstruction of a new gallery to match the original has restored the church as it was designed by Hawksmoor re-establishing its original orientation and reinstating the whimsical lions unicorns festoons and crowns that originally graced its celebrated spire. The statues had been removed in 1871 having been declared "very doubtful ornaments". Horace Walpole once described the whole tower as 'a masterpiece of absurdity'. " -- with a bonus offer-- .
