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

168129368<p>The Loyalty of the Last Long Parliament or A Letter to an English Gentleman at Florence by T.B. is a Restoration political pamphlet published in London in 1681 for Francis Smith Senior. This scarce tract engages with the heated debates over Parliament's conduct and the scope of royal prerogative during Charles II's reign specifically addressing the "late Parliaments" and contrasting them against the long-continuing Parliament of earlier decades. The text notably cites the king's remarks of 20 February 1663 situating its arguments within the broader context of Stuart governance. Such ephemeral political works rarely survive making this copy an important witness to the polemical press of the late seventeenth century. Condition: Very Good with secure leather spine and marbled boards showing only light external wear; the binding remains firm and sound. The text block is tight pages are complete and the paper exhibits only mild age toning without major blemishes. Book format: Octavo 8vo single volume. Collation: 20 pp. Illustrations: None. Edition: First edition 1681. References: Not cited in standard bibliographies but relevant to works on Restoration parliamentary history. Item Number SKU: #29368.

168021834Germany c1680. 93 by 65mm. 3.75 by 2.5 inches. A luxury silk and brocade deck 36 playing cards coloured silk and brocade laid between paper. The Maker There is no information on the present deck of cards about its maker but the nature of the materials used demonstrate that he or she must have been working for some extremely wealthy clients. The Cards The present cards are uniquely luxurious each one being comprised of layers of coloured silk and brocade laid between two sheets of paper. The different layers of fabric give the images added depth which reinforces the sense of meticulous craftsmanship. The janiform eagle which had been a symbol of the German emperors since the fifteenth century points towards a German origin for these cards. Indeed Hargrave records another deck of silk trappola cards from the seventeenth century which appear to have been made in Germany. It has been tentatively suggested that hearts represent France with Louis XIV as King; spades Russia with Peter the Great as Tsar - the jack bears the double headed-eagle of the Russian Empire; clubs the Holy Roman Empire with Leopold I as Emperor - he holds a shield bearing the imperial eagle; and diamonds the Ottoman Empire with - possibly - Mehmed IV as Sultan; the jack holds a falcon: falconry was one of the most popular pastimes in the Ottoman court. unknown
169183808London England: Printed for Jonathan Robinson at the Golden Lion in St. Paul's Church-Yard 1691. First Edition. Removed Pamphlet. Near Fine. Removed from a book of pamphlets. Leather remnants on spine. Quarto 7 1/2" x 5 3/4." pp. 2 34. Edges neatly trimmed closely cropped to top and bottom edges catchword of pp. 33 and bottom letters of "FINIS" pp. 34 affected. Possible period ink inscription "6" on title page top right corner. Pages lightly tanned throughout last leaf browned but readable. Excellent clean copy. ESTC R28866. This pamphlet mounts an eloquent defense of the decision to increase taxes in order to finance England's involvement in the Nine Years' War 1688-1697. On the heels of the Glorious Revolution 1688 England became embroiled in a European-wide war against France. England was part of a coalition with the Holy Roman Empire the Dutch Republic Spain Savoy and Portugal but the combined monies and forces of these countries could not defeat France outright. Fighting broke out in continental Europe and its surrounding seas but also in the Americas and India ultimately draining the European nations' coffers. In England taxes were raised not without some grumbling to support the cause. Eventually the sustained financial toll of the War pushed each nation to negotiate peace even though no side emerged the victor. The Treaty of Ryswick was signed in 1697.<br /> <br /> As demonstrated by this pamphlet England's worsening economic situation could be felt as early as 1691. Yet this pamphleteer defends the hike in taxes citing among multiple reasons that English citizens have a duty to protect the Commonwealth: "We are unhappily plunged into a War; but this as a less evil was to be chosen before other mischiefs our Enemies designed us. Upon the good success of this War depends our prosperity for many years; if we miscarry and France prevail we are in a fair prospect of being undone" 7.
