It was the culmination of a long list of actions by the Marquês de Pombal who was behind these laws and who had written in a letter to Conde de Unhão in February before the law was published that "nothing can be omitted or ought to be omitted to disarm the Jesuits' diabolical machinations so that they may not be reborn and any hidden roots remain in our land." This was reflected in the document which accused the Jesuits of attempting to assassinate the king ruin the kingdom destroy Portugal and "clandestinely pursuing the usurpation of the entire state of Brazil with such an artificial and so violent progress that if it was not promptly and effectively shut down".the Company of Jesus' goal would be accomplished.

[Rhode Island – Revolutionary War – State Debt] Richmond, John WBiblio.com

TO THE MEN OF RHODE-ISLAND! / Who love HONESTY and TRUTH

1847List3243Providence Rhode Island: N.p. 1847. Broadside measuring 18 x 13 inches folded with damage to right margin somewhat stained with a few very small wormholes. Excellent. TO THE MEN OF RHODE-ISLAND! Who love HONESTY and TRUTH written in 1847 by John W. Richmond deals with the repayment of Revolutionary War debt. In 1846 lawyer Wilkins Updike published a book titled History of the Alleged State Debt of Rhode-Island in which he alleged that prominent men of Rhode Island were making essentially fraudulent claims that Rhode Island still owed them money for Revolutionary War loans. The basis of the dispute which was widespread in the postwar US was whether the debts should be repaid in specie or paper money; in 1786 Rhode Island legislators mandated creditors to accept paper money as payment. On Updikeâ€™s account the â€œdead debt was afterwards resuscitated by political legislationâ€ prompting those with financial means to purchase the debt â€œfor comparatively nothing and have and are now endeavouring to defraud the honest yeomanry out of itâ€ by having it repaid in specie.1 In turn Richmondâ€™s broadside accuses Wilkins of corrupt behavior for both denigrating the reputation of these purchasers and for neglecting to mention several settlements for payment of interest on these debts by the government of Rhode Island indicating that the debts were in fact owed and not fraudulent. Richmond who saw Wilkins as calling for a repudiation of the stateâ€™s debt calls him a â€œman so far degraded in his moral sensibilitiesâ€ â€œself-disgracedâ€ with his own â€œevident depravityâ€ â€œpitifulâ€ â€œmiserableâ€ and â€œunprincipledâ€ a man â€œwho knows no true open manly and honest course but vainly hopes by his corrupt acts to ride into political power.â€ The severity of this issue for Richmond led him to leave the state in disgust; his headstone in New London Connecticut tells that he was â€œunwilling that the remains of himself and family should be disgraced by being a part of the common earth of a Repudiating State.â€ We find eleven copies of TO THE MEN in OCLC. 1 Wilkins Updike History of the Alleged State Debt of Rhode-Island N.p. 4.

An Act to Prevent Frivolous and Vexatious Suits in Ecclesiastical Courts

17875031London: Charles Eyre & Andrew Strahan 1787. First edition. 27 George III Chapter 44. A Fine copy measuring 310 x 190mm and collating complete: 2 987-988. A scarce and important piece of legal history which ESTC records at only one library Lincoln's Inn and which does not appear in the modern auction record. The present is the only example on the market. At the start of the Restoration "English church courts were revived by an act of Parliament on 27 July 1661 to resume their traditional task of correcting spiritual and moral misdemeanors. Soon thereafter parishioners across England's dioceses once more faced admonition fines excommunication and even imprisonment if they failed to conform to the laws of the restored Church of England" Aklund. As much as these courts sought to reestablish a monolithic Anglican communal identity during Charles II's reign their position in the 18th century became "a case study in the secularization of the legal system" particularly given their theoretical justification based in the problematic concept of divine right Harris. Numerous acts the present example among them "represented an important step in the direction of limiting the reach of of ecclesiastical jurisdiction" Harris. An Act to Prevent Frivolous and Vexatious Suits in Ecclesiastical Courts was passed in 1787 drawn from a bill presented in Parliament the previous year. Its major accomplishment was the removal of Church authority in the regulation of private sexual behaviors: "It shall be further enacted by the Authority aforesaid That no Suit shall be commenced in any Ecclesiastical Court for Fornication or Incontinence of for any striking or brawling." While the Church may have voiced its moral codes or enacted social shaming within its own communities it no longer had the legal authority to regulate or punish sexual behavior. Such secularization had significant benefits across a number of communities. For survivors of assault it ended the Church's ability to mandate that a woman marry her attacker; for queer communities it prevented Biblically based persecution; for sex workers it took away the risk of arrest or fines for conducting their livelihoods. Ultimately the jurisdiction of ecclesiastical courts over sexual behavior whether in the form of obscene or defamatory words sexual engagement and sensual pleasure was terminated by this act. Little to no legal regulation of sex would be enacted until the next century when the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act and a series of Contagious Diseases Acts would seek to give secular courts more control over individuals' bodies.

Rare New York Senate Print of Proposed State Law to Combat the Dred Scott Decision

185723389.07Rare New York Senate Print of Proposed State Law to Combat the Dred Scott Decision"Every slave … who shall come or be brought or be involuntarily in this state shall be free."SLAVERY AND ABOLITION—NEW YORK STATE.New York Senate. "An Act To secure Freedom to all persons within this State" Edward M. Madden April 9 1857 Passed the Assembly on April 17; failed in the Senate. Printed with numbered lines for the use of the Senate. 1 p. 6.5 x 11.5 in. Excerpts"Neither descent near or remote from an African…nor color of skin shall disqualify any person for being or prevent any person from becoming a citizen of this state; nor deprive such person of the rights and privileges of a citizen thereof.""Every person who shall hold or attempt to hold in this state in slavery…under any pretence or for any time however short shall be deemed guilty of felony and on conviction thereof shall be confined in the state prison at hard labor for a term not less than two nor more than ten years."Historical BackgroundIn 1799 the New York legislature passed "An Act for the gradual abolition of slavery" that indentured and would eventually free slave children born after July 4 1799. In 1817 it passed a law freeing those slaves in 1827. But non-residents and part-time residents could still bring their slaves into the state temporarily.On March 14 1857 New York Assemblyman Samuel A. Foot introduced resolutions declaring that the U.S. Supreme Court through its decision in Dred Scott v. Sanford "has in effect declared slavery to be national" and calling for the creation of a joint committee of three senators and five assemblymen to "consider and report what measures if any the Legislature of this State ought to adopt to protect the constitutional rights of her citizens." The resolution passed by a vote of 49-24 and the Senate concurred on April 2.On April 9 Edward M. Madden introduced this bill in the Senate. Simultaneously Foot introduced this bill #24129 and three resolutions #23389.08 in the Assembly. Eight days later the Assembly with 81 Republicans 38 Democrats and 8 American Party members passed the bill 72 to 38. In the Senate with 17 Republicans 9 American Party members Know Nothings and 4 Democrats attempts to move the bill to the Committee of the Whole were evenly divided. Lacking the two-thirds majority required for this procedure the bill died.Very similar language appeared in an 1859 bill which also failed; New York passed no new Personal Liberty Law during the decade before the Civil War.The New York Senate had thirty-two members in 1857 so it is likely no more than fifty copies of this bill were printed for Senate consideration. We can find no evidence that any other copies have survived.Edward M. Madden 1818-1885 was born in Orange County New York and began work at a cotton factory at age nine. He worked as a merchant and then opened a saw factory in Middletown. He entered politics as a Democrat and was a delegate to the 1852 Democratic state convention. He joined the new Republican Party and served as a member of the New York Senate in 1856-1857 1872-1873 1875 and 1880-1881. He also served as a delegate to the 1864 and 1876 Republican National Conventions.
