An English Restoration dramatist Howard is best remembered for The Indian Queen and The Committee as well as his ongoing literary feud with John Dryden. During the English Revolution Howard sided with the Royalists at the Battle of Newbury and was imprisoned. After the Restoration he was elected to Parliament and made auditor of the Exchequer.DS. 1pg. 8 x 8 . May 15 1686. Whitehall Treasury Chambers. A document signed Rochester. It was written to Robert Howard the auditor of the Exchequer: At my hearty Commendation By Virtue of his Majestys Letters Patents authorizing the payment of the yearly Sallarys sic to the Judges These are to pray and require you to make and pass Debentures for payment of such Summes of moneye sic as are and shall from time to time be due to Richard Hearn Serjeant at Law and one of the Barons of his Majestys Court of Exchequer upon his Sallary of One thousand pounds per annum according to the direction of the said Letters Patents and let sic the same be satisfied out of any his Majestys Treasure now or hereafter being and remaining in the receipt of the Exchequer not appropriated to particular uses by Act of Parliament For which this shall be your Warrant. Treasury Chamber the 15th day of May 1686. Rochester. The document is addressed To my very Loving friend Sr Robt Howard Auditor of his Majestys Records of Exchequer. This document concerns the creation of some of the first exchequer bills of credit which was Englands first attempts at paper currency. Obviously it was cumbersome to pay people since lengthy documents such as this example had to be written out and signed by an official. The first bank to permanently use banknotes was the Bank of England in 1695. The currency promised to pay the bearer the value of the note on demand. The next year the Bank of Scotland followed suit. The document has chipping to the margins and three tape stains to the edges and is in very good condition. The manuscript comes with numerous articles about the Scottish economist John Law who first introduced paper money in France and lecture notes from what seems to be an economics professor who used this document in his or her classes. unknown

STC 11448; ESTC S112728. ◆Vellum somewhat soiled small chip to head of rear cover a little soiling to title page isolated faint foxing or small rust spots but an unusually clean and fresh copy internally in a serviceable binding with antique appeal. This is an infrequently seen polemical treatise from the English Reformation addressing theological arguments over Purgatory and transubstantiation one of 21 such works Fulke 1528-89 produced to refute Roman Catholic attacks on the doctrines of the Church of England. According to DNB "Fulke conceived the project of answering all works of controversy written in English by papists since 1558 and of doing so by the technique of exhaustive rebuttal answering every point large and small made in the writings of his opponents. . . . Fulke was well equipped for this role by his vast erudition especially in patristic literature and his command of biblical and classical languages as well as his painstaking concern for accurate detail and the rules of logical argument." During the last decade of Fulke's life "no year passed without the appearance of one or more books by him in defence of Protestantism and in confutation of the church of Rome. His language was unmeasured and even in that age he was conspicuous for the virulence of his invective against his opponents. His learning was however extensive and sound and he was an able master of controversy." Our copy resided in the Grosvenor family library at Eaton Hall for more than 200 years and later passed into the Fox Pointe Collection of Howard Knohl who in the 1980s began collecting English language first editions from before 1700 amassing a library of more than 4000 titles one of the largest privately owned collections in this subject area. This is a rare book: ABPC and RBH find no other copies at auction since 1975; ESTC and OCLC locate just two copies in North American libraries. Printed by H. Middleton for George Bishop unknown
