Cross Senior bound opposite the printed title page. Translated into English by William Evats. In good condition. Armorial bookplate and period ownership signature. A pre-eminent contributor to international legal doctrine Hugo Grotius was an influential Dutch jurist philosopher and theologian. In this momentous work Grotius describes situations in which war is a valid tool of law enforcement and outlines principles for the use of force. Though based on Christian natural law Grotius advances the novel argument that his system would still be valid if it lacked a divine basis. In this regard he points to the future by moving international law in a secular direction. Barksdale's translation the first in English includes an original biographical sketch of Grotius. This edition "is perceived to be part of a larger movement in England aimed partly at setting out an ideological alternative to reformation proposals under discussion and to clarifying the relations between civil and ecclesiastical authority in England" Butler xii. Printed by M.W. for Thomas Basset at the George in Fleetstreet, and Ralph Smith at the Bible under the Piazza of the Royal Excha unknown

16811278921681. ENGLISH LAW. Proceedings Upon Impeachments from the year 1666 to the year 1681. Manuscript. No place circa 1681. Quarto modern full brown calf raised bands red morocco spine label. $3200.Original manuscript from the late 17th century with the parliamentary impeachment proceedings against 14 individuals during the reign of Charles II.The accountswritten in legible script with an index at frontbegin with the proceedings against Viscount Mordaunt charged with raping the daughter of the surveyor of Windsor Castle when Mordaunt was the castle's constable. Although they include a number of cases including that of William Penn in 1668 the clear focus is on the Popish plot a supposed conspiracy promulgated in 1678 that led to the arrest and trial of five Catholic lordsBaron Arundell the Marquess of Powis Baron Belasyse Baron Petre and Viscount Staffordall of which are recounted in this manuscript. As anticatholic hysteria waned and it became increasingly clear that the ""plot"" was a fiction the fallout entrapped more of the players: the impeachment of William Scroggs who served as the Chief Justice during the trials is detailed as is that of the Lord High Treasurer the Earl of Danby who was charged with concealing the plot and Edward Fitzharris who had attempted to implicate Danby in Sir Edmondbury Godfrey's murder in 1678 an event which fanned the flames of anticatholic hysteria.

1649150001London: Printed in the Year 1650 i.e. 1649. One of five editions all listed by ESTC as printed in 1649 with a 1650 date with minor variations; the author argues against duties of obedience to a usurping power naturally directed against Parliament and the new Commonwealth. Authorship is unclear - an attribution to Richard Hollinworth is still held by ESTC based on a report by the contemporary Adam Martindale but is also credited to Charles Herle and DNB places it as by Edward Gee "with little doubt". The latter attribution is most commonly accepted. Small quarto 182 x 131 mm. Recent brown quarter calf gilt ornaments in compartments marbled sides vellum tips. Contemporary ownership signatures "John Bryan 3d" and "E. Bailey" to title. Selbourne Library stamps to title verso and to p. 51 small slip of paper affixed to p. 53 covering a few letters. Binding fine; contents generally a little browned and soiled as usual for pamphlets of this date. A good copy. ESTC R201998; Wing G449. hardcover

Preserved in a protective cloth case. Suitable for exhibition and study. OF SIGNAL IMPORTANCE IN THE HISTORY OF ENGLISH RESTORATION BOOKBINDING: AN UNRECORDED AND UNPUBLISHED BINDING BY "OWEN" WHOSE WORK IS KNOWN FROM ONLY ONE OTHER EXAMPLE. <br /> <br /> In terms of 17th-century English bindings this one in particular is of particular significance: the only other binding by "Owen" is in the Henry Davis Gift British Library. Howard Nixon English Restoration Bookbindings p. 37 and plate 78 describes it in some detail: "It has been stated earlier that signatures on painted fore-edges followed by the word 'fecit' in the seventeenth century are those of binders or booksellers for whom the books were bound. The book in the Henry Davis Gift with the edges signed 'Owen fecit' and dated 1672 is a possible exception to this rule as Owen cannot be traced. The tools used on this book have not however been identified elsewhere." Our binding is far more elaborate the that in the Henry Davis Gift as it features a total of 26 onlays red and citron all elaborately gilt. The Davis Gift example is bound in a single piece of black goatskin. Due to the extensive and complex gold tooling the present binding was not easily attributable to a known workshop but it is now clear that all four major tools on it are identical to those on the "Owen" binding in the Davis Gift see Mirjam Foot Henry Davis Gift vol. II no. 115 with full-page reproduction. While the fore-edge of our binding is worn the word "Search the Scriptures" is just visible alongside depictions of flowers. <br /> <br /> Provenance: inscribed on recto of third blank leaf "John Pounds Carter 1864 bequeathed to him by his aunt Phoebe who died July 14th 1852." This individual was almost certainly the same JPC who was born in Southwark London in 1821 and died in Lambeth London in 1896. Tipped onto the first blank is a small handwritten note which describes this as a "very fine binding by Samuel Mearne." <br /> <br /> References: Ad 1 Bible: Darlow/Moule 539 British and Foreign Bible Society copy lacks the Psalms altogether. Wing STC 2nd ed. B2267. Not in ESTC !. Ad 2 Psalms: ESTC R232588 recording one copy National Library of Wales containing an engraved plate but neither the Yale copy which is likewise bound with Bill and Barker's 1663 Bible nor this copy ever had such a plate bound in. <br /> <br /> We are grateful for the assistance of Philippa Marks British Library and for supplying rubbings of the tools on their Owen binding.

The effect of the continual domestic study of the book upon the national character imagination and intelligence for nearly three centuries to come was greater than that of any literary movement in our annals or any religious movement since the coming of St. Augustine."
