A remarkable and crucial historical account of the raging debates within the English parliament surrounding the events leading up to the Glorious Revolution of 1688 also known as the Bloodless Revolution An Réabhlóid Ghlórmhar Irish: Rèabhlaid Ghlòrmhor Scottish Gaelic; Chwyldro Gogoneddus Welsh; Glorieuze Overtocht Dutch which witnessed the deposition of James II also James VII of Scotland from the English Throne in favour of his daughter Mary II and her husband "stadtholder and de facto ruler of the Dutch Republic" William III of Orange. The Revolution would see the passage of the landmark Bill of Rights of 1689 ensured the exclusion of Catholics from the English throne severely curtailed the monarch's power and witnessed the effective establishment of a constitutional monarchy thereby ensuring the supremacy of Parliament. It further led to the Act of Toleration of 1689 granting toleration to "Nonconformist Protestants" but excluding Catholics whose emancipation would be delayed for a further 140 years. The present volume deals chiefly with Parliament's resolution relating to whether James had forfeited or abdicated the throne by virtue of his having discarded the "Great Seal of the Realm" into the River Thames prior to fleeing for France his subsequent capture at Kent and later exile under the protection of Louis XIV of France. Ultimately Parliament declared that: "King James II having endeavored to subvert the constitution of the kingdom by breaking the original contract between king and people and by the advice of Jesuits and other wicked persons having violated the fundamental laws and having withdrawn himself out of this kingdom has abdicated the government and that the throne is thereby vacant."

Good or better complete copies of both works. Early edition of what still remains the authoritative version of the Book of Common Prayer comprising the official liturgy of the Anglican Communion and other historically related Christian churches. The first prayer book published in the wake of the English Reformation appeared in 1549 during the reign of Edward VI. That work was revised in 1604 during the reign of James I and again in 1662 during the reign of Charles II. While revision and supplementation has continued into the present era the 1662 edition of which the present copy is essentially an early reprint remains authoritative as the official prayer book of the Church of England. Despite the discrepancy in dates which appear on the title pages of the present edition the Book of Common Prayer and the Psalms of David comprise a single publication as noted at the collective title and confirmed by the signatures. The metrical Psalms by Sternhold and Hopkins often bound with the Book of Common Prayer is a separate work. Provenance: Bookplate of the Royal Institution of South Wales noting the gift of Col.

The late proceedings of The Scottish Army: As also the taking of Cannon Froome. Certified By an Expresse from his Excellencies Quarters the Earle of Leven Lord Generall. Dated at Ludbury the 23. of July 1645. Together with other Letters from the Kings Quarters to the Generall and Lieutenant-Generall and Answers thereunto

1645AQ22725London: Printed by M. B. for Robert Bostock 1645. 2 6pp. Modern navy morocco lettered in gilt to spine T.E.G. Marbled endpapers early alternate manuscript pagination to upper corners. With a loosely inserted letterpress receipt from bookseller Frank Hammond addressed to Lord Cottesloe acknowledging payment of £12 for the book in 1961. The sole edition of a decidedly uncommon news-book account of the actions of the Army of the Solemn League and Covenant - led by veteran Scottish Army officer Alexander Leslie 1st Earl of Leven c.1580-1661 - in the summer of 1645 reporting most particularly on their taking of a royalist garrison within the moated house at Cannon Froome Herefordshire. Following the defeat of a Royalist rebellion against the Covenanting-led Scottish Government in the Spring of 1645 the Scottish army of the Solemn League and Covenant - named after the 1643 treaty between the reforming parliaments in England and Scotland- led by the Earl of Leven marched south to assist their allies. As this news-book reports a 'party of 4500 Horse Foot and Dragoons' en route to Hereford became aware of a Royalist garrison led by 'Governor Colonell Barnold' in the small Herefordshire village of Castle Froome. After the Royalist commander refused to surrender the moated house which had been reinforced with Irish volunteers after the battle of Newark Leven the 'Lieut. Generall.gave order for storming the place'. The heat of the battle is described thus from a purely Roundhead perspective: 'The Grasses were about nine foot deep and as broad and in most places full of water; The Works above the Grasses were so high that all the Ladders we could get were too short; the Enemy behaved themselves valourously but it pleased the Lord to give our Souldiers to much courage that after a hot dispute they were beate from their works after which they fled to the house where they fought desparately till a great part of them were killed. We lost about 16. and 24. are wounded; of the Enemy were killed about 70. Colonell Barnold deadly wounded Captain Briskoe Capt. Houke & thirty others taken Prisoners.' ESTC records copies at just seven locations in the British Isles Advocates Library BL Hereford Cathedral Newcastle NLS Oxford Trinity College Dublin and just three further elsewhere California State Harvard Texas and Yale. Provenance: Recently dispersed from the Cottlesloe Military Library 'probably the most extensive private collection of early printed books focused on military matters'.

HISTOIRE DES REVOLUTIONS D'ANGLETERRE DEPUIS LE COMMENCEMENT DE LA MONARCHIE

1693ST11540Paris: Chez Claude Barbin 1693-94. FIRST EDITION. 248 x 191 mm. 9 3/4 x 7 1/2". Three volumes. SPLENDID AND UNUSUAL EARLY 19TH CENTURY MARBLED CALF SUMPTUOUSLY GILT WITH RED MOROCCO SPINES covers with gilt borders of two decorative rules and an elegant undulating floral vine flat straight-grain morocco spines very handsomely gilt in compartments with pointillé ground and central circlet from which radiate four lilies and four leaves on twining stems turn-ins gilt with plain and decorative rolls marbled endpapers all edges gilt. With engraved head- and tailpieces and eight engraved portraits. Verso of front free endpaper with armorial bookplate of Baron de Mackau see below; title page with ink ownership inscription of Alexander Paul Ludwig Goupy in a contemporary hand. Brunet II 822; Graesse II 428; Lowndes I 1374. Isolated gatherings with variable browning a small handful rather browned one leaf in first volume with inexpert early repair of four-inch tear letters of four words partly obscured or displaced and the text and facing page somewhat discolored a few additional trivial imperfections internally but the text generally quite fresh and clean. One joint with five small wormholes a few hardly noticeable shallow scratches to covers a hint of wear to extremities but THE LOVELY BINDINGS IN FINE CONDITION with lustrous leather and gilt with only minor wear and with their very considerable original visual appeal entirely intact. This history of "England's Revolutions" begins with the invasion of the Saxons and covers the struggles for the throne of England through the Plantagenets Tudors and Stuarts up to the Restoration and the reign of James II. The learned Jesuit historian Pierre Joseph d'Orléans 1641-98 was described by Voltaire as the first historian to specialize in revolutions--he was also the author of a history of revolutions in Spain an account of the Tartar conquerors of China and a subsequent study of the English Civil War covering the years 1603-90 in depth. The present work was favorably received on both sides of the Channel: the Earl of Chatham commended it in his letters and du Fresnoy described it as a "history written with eloquence and judgment" and praised its equal treatment of Catholics and Protestants. When the present set appeared in a George Bayntun catalogue the bindings were described as "very handsome" and "almost identical to the set of Bertrand De Moleville's 'Histoire de la Révolution de France' 1801-1803 bound by Bozerian" and also from the library of Baron de Mackau 1832-1918 a member of the Chamber of Deputies for 42 years and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. The volumes are unusual in their combination of calf boards with contrasting morocco spines and their gilt decoration is particularly lovely. François Bozerian generally called "Bozerian le jeune" was active in Paris from the turn of the 19th century until 1818 and for much of that time he worked with his elder brother Jean-Claude. The Bozerian binderies produced many fine books praised today especially for their technical achievement and elegance of design. The first edition of this work is surprisingly rare in the marketplace: RBH and ABPC record only one other copy at auction since at least 1975. Chez Claude Barbin unknown
