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

16-6234New York: Boston London: Major newspapers and reviews 1877-1917. A Collection of original printings of obituaries. tributes and biographies of Ambassador John Lothrop Motley 1814 -1877. Mounted on 14 ledger sheets 31 x 42cm. .Ambassador John Lothrop Motley April 15 1814 – May 29 1877 was an American author and diplomat. As a popular historian he is best known for his works on the Netherlands the three volume work The Rise of the Dutch Republic and four volume History of the United Netherlands. As United States Minister to Austria in the service of the Abraham Lincoln administration Motley helped to prevent European intervention on the side of the Confederates in the American Civil War. He later served as Minister to the United Kingdom Court of St. James during the Ulysses S. Grant administration.In December 1870 Mr. Motley sent a 62-page dispatch to Secretary Fish titled “End of a Mission†in which he protested his recall and recounted the events leading to the dispatch of November 10. The Secretary followed with an even longer rejoinder sent not to Motley who was no longer in an official position and hadn’t been when he had sent the dispatch but to the chargé d’affaires Benjamin Moran. Senator Sumner upbraided Mr. Grant and Mr. Fish on the Senate floor then had the Senate publish all the documents related to the recall. In 1878 Oliver Wendell Holmes a fellow Brahmin wrote a memorial biography which was devoted to a defense of the former minister and a repudiation of his recall. John Jay who had succeeded Mr. Motley in Vienna published his own defense of him in 1877. Mr. Grant after leaving the presidency wrote a letter to the New York Herald reiterating that his reason for dismissing Mr. Motley was solely that he had failed to carry out his duties. Mr. Grant restated this charge a few years later in a Cairo interview while he was on a world tour concluding that he had no ill will toward Mr. Motley who “…like other estimable men made mistakes and Motley made a mistake which made him an improper person to hold office under me.â€.Provenance: Lt.-Col.
