Small worm-tract to lower outer corner of last 20 ff. 16 206 pp. Pp. 50-63 misnumbered. <br/><br/><em>The rare first edition of this anonymously published political and religious treatise that addresses the dangers posed by the ongoing rebellion against the British monarchy during a period of political and religious turmoil following the Jacobite rising of 1715. “The following Discourse was occafion'd by a Sermon preach'd Nov. 15. 1715. It was some time before I refolved upon the Publication of it and then thought fit to add in proper Places the Substance of several other Sermons which related to the same Subject; which with other Thoughts occurring swell'd the Book to a much larger Bulk than I at first intended. The main Design is partly to demonstrate the Unreasonableness Impiety and Wickedness of those who rife up in Rebellion against our only Rightful Sovereign King George endeavour to dethrone him and set up a Popish Pretender to his Crown†From the preface to the present work. The Jacobite rising of 1715 was the attempt by James Edward Stuart or the Old Pretender to regain the thrones of England Ireland and Scotland for the exiled Stuarts. The English Jacobites allied with Scottish Jacobites under the command of William Gordon they marched into England where they encountered Government forces at the Battle of Preston on November 12–14. Initially the Jacobites gained the upper hand however the arrival of Government reinforcements the following day turned the luck which lead to the eventual surrender of the Jacobite forces.This main sermon/discourse of this present work was written on November 15th that is immediately after the fall of the Jacobites. Probably due to the instability and relatively insecure future the author has wished to remain anonymous. The document is structured to provide an analysis of the causes and consequences of the rebellion underlining the author's position that the monarchy and the Church of England must be upheld to maintain social order and stability. The book criticizes the growing influence of dissenting religious groups particularly those associated with Calvinistic beliefs arguing that their rebellion against the established order was both treasonous and destabilizing.

A member of the most radical wing of the Puritans he was elected governor of Massachusetts in 1636 but returned to join the Long Parliament in 1637. Vane's stay in Massachusetts was tempestuous and he returned to England in 1637 to become a member of the Long Parliament though his interest in New England continued. After the Restoration he was imprisoned for two years convicted of treason and executed. The present text authored by a partisan in favor of Vane includes the speech Vane intended to give from the scaffold but was barred by the court. The speech argues for parliamentary sovereignty and other radical political ideas that proved influential among American colonists. 1381629. Special Collections. [s.n.] hardcover

005298Full Vellum. Very Good. N.d. but late 18th century after the publication of the original work in 1760 published in Venezia by Remondi. Large 8vo 25 by 20 cm. 25 pen and ink pages of illustration. These begin with the elaborate pen and ink Baroque title page with architectural decoration followed by page showing drawings of hands a second title with what we presume the one more fully original work by the copyist of seraphs holding up drapery with the title and a woman painter working before an easel and other illustrative decoration a broken sculpted head on the ground etc. Then 23 pages of pen and ink nude male studies the figures very Michelangelo-esque in the musculature and their overall sculptural quality. We would speculate that this copyist was in fact a woman based on the second title illustration. This particular illustration is delightful if the human figure itself doesn't have quite the polished execution of the copied material. Inked title on the vellum spine. The vellum is quite soiled. Otherwise the paper within is of high quality and clean. <br/><br/> hardcover books

178889862Rouen: s. n. 1788. Fine. s. n. Rouen 1788 12.5 x 20 cm Broché Second enlarged edition of these rather protectionist ideas which prompted Dupont de Nemours to write a refutation Lettre à la Chambre de commerce de Normandie. Our copy is preserved in its original wrappers now covered with modern marbled paper red edges. The second part is entitled Plan d'une banque nationale de France ou d'une caisse générale de recettes & paiements des deniers publics & particuliers and bears the Jersey imprint 1787. Frère I 210 for the first edition of 1787. The first edition appeared in 1787 and consisted of only a 75-page pamphlet. The Commercial Treaty of September 1786 sometimes referred to as the EdenRayneval Treaty after its signatories was intended to settle all outstanding trade disputes between France and England following the American War of Independence. The treaty came into effect on March 10 1787 and comprised forty-seven articles. Its main provisions stipulated that for imports into England duties on wine brandy and oils would be reduced while luxury goods mirrors and articles de Paris would henceforth be subject to a duty of only 12%. In return import duties in France on woollen and cotton fabrics as well as on earthenware and pottery were likewise reduced to 12%; the same applied to iron and hardware. Conversely silk and mixed-silk fabrics remained prohibited in England while none of the major English manufactured goods were banned in France. The treaty proved highly advantageous to England: the lowering of protection on certain French industries soon worked in its favour. It disrupted Frances fragile but relatively balanced economy resulting in a flood of cheaperand often better-madeEnglish products on the French market and a general fall in prices. As early as 1787 and increasingly in 1788 and 1789 this influx led to the unemployment of thousands of workers and the impoverishment and bankruptcy of countless artisans reduced to a state of destitution prompting protests from the very moment of its signing. s. n. unknown
