FURTHER CORRESPONDENCE RESPECTING THE ENLISTMENT OF BRITISH SUBJECTS IN THE UNITED STATES' ARMY. PRESENTED TO BOTH HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT BY COMMAND OF HER MAJESTY

186433165London: Printed by Harrison and Sons. 1864. 2 4 2 pp. Folio stitched. Docketed in print on last page. Light edge wear a couple of numerical accession stamps Very Good. The Correspondence concerns Thomas Tulley and six other Irish passengers of the steamer 'Nova Scotian'" who allegedly enlisted "improperly" into the 20th Maine Regiment at Portland. Lord Lyons claims "they were subjected to hardships and indignities of a most unwarrantable kind on their way from the army of the Potomac to Portland." For unspecified reasons they were taken under guard "well nigh starved as they had at one time to march three successive days without a mouthful of food and consequently were reduced to eating clover and green apples to support nature. They remonstrated with the authorities stating that they were not prisoners. but foreigners proceeding to Portland under British protection." Secretary of State Seward assures Lord Lyons that he is looking into the matter. Printed by Harrison and Sons. unknown books

Report from the committee to whom the petition of the trustees of the British Museum respecting the late Mr. Townley's collection of ancient sculptured marbles was referred.

180517274London 1805. Folio 32.5 cm 12.75". 8 pp. Government document 172 "Ordered to be printed 19th June 1805." This scarce discussion of the British Museum's proposed acquisition of a significant collection of classical sculpture includes several contemporary assessments of the value of Townley's marbles which did indeed go to the museum later in the year of this item's publication. John Flaxman was one of those expressing an opinion of the trove; he says that he has "paid a great deal of attention to it as a Sculptor" and believes it to be "richly worth" the sum of £20000.

GREENLAND WHALE FISHERY British Acts of ParliamentABAA

A series of 12 British Acts of Parliament concerning whaling mostly in Greenland and the Davis Strait

181824993London: John Baskett and others printers 1818. 12 works folio. 12 1/2 x 8 inches and smaller. Disbound or stitched A fascinating series spanning the whole of the period when whaling was carried out on a successful commercial basis in the waters off Greenland. After an abortive start by the South Sea Company between 1724 and 1732 the British whaling fleet operated off Greenland and the Davis Strait throughout the remainder of the 18th century with increasing success due to a large degree to the succession of bounties granted to ship owners by the British Government. The present selection of acts of parliament includes a number concerning the bounty: the first dated 16th January 1732 makes law "that a Bounty will be paid on the Return of every Ship of 200 tons and over imployed by His Majesty's Subjects in the Whale Fishery". For the bounty to be paid certain stringent criteria had to be met; these increased as the century progressed. By the time of the last Act in the present group March 1818 the Greenland whalers were reporting declining catches and were already beginning to turn their attention to other whaling grounds i.e. largely in the Pacific and Antarctic. This group offers and interesting series of snapshots of the industry during its most productive century. The acts comprise: 1. An Act for encouraging the Greenland Fishery. 1732. Stitched later wrappers. Exemption from duty extended for a nine year period. 2. An Act for the further Encouragment of the Whale Fishery carried on by His Majesty's British Subjects. 1733. Stitched later wrappers. The introduction of a bounty for ships over 200 tons. 3. An Act for continuing the several Laws therein mentioned . including granting a further Bounty for all Ships employed in the Whale Fishery during the present War; for exempting Harponers and others . from being impressed. No date but circa 1750. Spine reinforced. The bounty raised by a third other measures to help the trade. 4. An Act for granting a additional Bounty on Ships employed in the Greenland and Whale Fishery for a limited time. No adte but circa 1761. Disbound. The increased bounty confirmed for another five years. 5.An Act for further continuing several Acts . for the Encouragement of the Whale Fishery. 1768. Stitched. 6. An Act for the better Support and Establishment of the Greenland and Whale Fishery. 1771. Stitched. The rules about the amount of bounty to be paid has changed with additional laws concerning vessels of American origin exemption from duty extended to include the Gulf of St. Lawrence certain members of a whaler's crew to be exempt from being pressed into service in the Royal Navy etc. 7.An Act to explain and amend Two Acts made . with respect to the Limits of the Greenland Seas and Davis's Streights . and to enlarge the Time for the Return of the Vessels employed in the Whale Fisheries. 1780. Stitched. 8. An Act for granting an additional Bounty on Ships employed in the Greenland and Whale Fishery for a limited Time. 1782. Disbound. The bounty retained for a further five years. 9. An Act for allowing Vessels employed in the Greenland Whale Fishery to complete their full Number of Men at certain Ports for the Present Season. 1805. Spine strengthened. Whaling ships permitted to call in to ports in Scotland the Orkneys and the Shetland Islands to find men to complete their crews. 10. An Act for allowing until the Signature of Preliminary Articles of Peace Vessels . to complete their full Number of Men at certain ports. 1806. Spine strenghtened. An extension of the previous act. 11. An Act to revive and continue for five years several Laws. 1815. Strengthened spine. Several prvious acts re-confirmed. 12. An Act to amend an Act . so far as it relates to the Oaths thereby required. 1818. Unbound. Concerns the oaths required from owners/captains before the bounty due would be released to them.
