16570Representation of the People Act 1918. 8 Geo. 5. Ch. 64 Printed by Percy Lunch Humphries & Co. Ltd. for Normal Gibb Scorgie C.V.O. C.B.E. Controller of His Majesty's Stationery Office and King's Printer of Acts of Parliament. First edition. 161 pages. Original paper wrappers. 9 1/2 x 6 in. The Representation of the People Act of 1918 granted the vote to women over the age of 30 who met a property qualification. The same Act gave the vote to all men over the age of 21. As a result of this act 8.5 million women joined the electorate and made up almost 40% of all voters in the United Kingdom. This was a great victory for the women's suffrage movement which had been calling for voting rights since the 1830s. Militant suffrage groups in the UK were even known for campaigns of destruction and mayhem in order to keep their issue in the forefront of everyone's minds. unknown books

165726937London: Printed by Henry Hills and John Field Printers to His Highness 1657. 1st edition Wing E-1046. Not in Gabler nor Goldsmith. Printed self-wrappers. VG split developing along fold. Now housed in archival mylar sleeve. 2 2 pp. Commonwealth seal to t.p. Folio: 2. 10-5/8" x 6-3/4" <br/><br/>Gabler though not listing this item does briefly discuss & list divers tracts & pamphlets written in the early 1640s voicing public outrage over a contract between Charles I and the Vintner's Company of London- under said contract the Vintners agreed to pay a 46 shilling tax on every ton of Spanish & French wine & also agreed to annually buy a certain amount from English importers. In return the vintners were permitted to sell cooked victuals a proviso not in their original charter & allowed to recoup the tax by charging a penny a quart more that the officially published price. The ultimate effect was to give the Vintners' Company a monopoly on the wine trade all the while enriching the coffers of Charles I. Needless to say wine drinkers were livid. Parliament eventually responded in the consumers' favor. Gabler pp. 2-3. This act of Cromwell's establishes limitations on prices for Spanish & French wines a proclamation issued perhaps in memory of the Vintner's Company earlier attempts at profiteering Printed by Henry Hills, and John Field, Printers to His Highness unknown books
4to., 34 leaves, with fine woodblock arms of Edward VII at head; sewed as issued, a remarkably bright, clean copy ideal for framing and display. 10 Edw. 7 & 1 Geo. 5. The Wimbledon and Sutton Railway Company Ltd., incorporated in law by the present Act, continued in operation from 1910 to 1925. When, in 1923, the Southern Railway Company was formed by merging the five major southern lines (and several smaller operators), the Wimbledon & Sutton fought to stay apart. It was one of the last to remain independent before its inevitable absorption in 1925. VERY SCARCE, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. Not in Ottley.

Errata leaf present at end of text but well-worn showing only a quarter of original text. Clean unmarked pages with tanning. R13582. Wing P4018. <br><br> Like many Puritans abhorring decadent celebrations Prynne was strongly opposed to religious feast days including Christmas and revelry such as stage plays He included in his Histriomastix 1632 a denunciation of actresses which was widely felt to be an attack of Queen Henrietta Maria. This book led to the most famous incidents in his life but the timing was accidental. <br> About 1624 Prynne had begun a book against stage-plays; on 31 May 1630 he obtained a license to print it and about November 1632 it was published. Histriomastix is a volume of over a thousand pages showing that plays were unlawful incentives to immorality and condemned by the scriptures Church Fathers modern Christian writers and pagan philosophers. By chance the queen and her ladies in January 1633 took part in the performance of Walter Montagu's The Shepherd's Paradise: this was an innovation at court. A passage reflecting on the character of female actors in general was construed as an aspersion on the queen; passages which attacked the spectators of plays and magistrates who failed to suppress them pointed by references to Nero and other tyrants were taken as attacks on the king Charles I. <br>William Noy as attorney-general instituted proceedings against Prynne in the Star-chamber. After a year's imprisonment in the Tower of London he was sentenced 17 February 1634 to be imprisoned during life to be fined to be expelled from Lincoln's Inn to be deprived of his degree by the university of Oxford and to lose both his ears in the pillory. Prynne was pilloried on 7 May and 10 May. On 11 June he addressed to Archbishop Laud whom he regarded as his chief persecutor a letter charging him with illegality and injustice. Laud handed the letter to the attorney-general as material for a new prosecution but when Prynne was required to own his handwriting he contrived to get hold of the letter and tore it to pieces. In the Tower Prynne wrote and published anonymous tracts against episcopacy and against the Book of Sports. In one he introduced Noy's recent death as a warning. Elsewhere he attacked prelates in general 1635. An anonymous attack on Matthew Wren bishop of Norwich brought him again before the Star-chamber. <br> On 14 June 1637 Prynne was sentenced once more to a fine to imprisonment for life and to lose the rest of his ears. At the proposal of Chief-justice John Finch he was also to be branded on the cheeks with the letters S. L. signifying 'seditious libeller'. Prynne was pilloried on 30 June in company with Henry Burton and John Bastwick and Prynne was handled barbarously by the executioner. He made as he returned to his prison a couple of Latin verses explaining the 'S. L.' with which he was branded to mean 'stigmata laudis' sign of praise. He was released by the Long Parliament in 1640. The House of Commons declared the two sentences against him illegal restored him to his degree and to his membership of Lincoln's Inn and voted him pecuniary reparation as late as October 1648 he was still trying to collect it. He supported the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War particularly in the press and in many pamphlets while still pursuing the bishops. Printed at London : For M.S hardcover

14313Both from Treasury Chambers London. 12 December 1805 and 24 January 1806. Both documents 1p. folio. Both in good condition on lightly-aged laid paper the first with pin-holes from its attachment to another item.
