168031090London: John Wright & Richard Chiswell 1680. Folio 27.1 cm 10.75". 4 13343 1 pp. <br><br>with England & Wales. Sovereign 16601685: Charles II. His Majesties declaration to all his loving subjects touching the causes & reasons that moved him to dissolve the two last parliaments. London: Pr. by the assigns of John Bill Thomas Newcomb & Henry Hills 1681. Folio. 10 2 pp.<br>Â Â Â Â First editions of two significant documents one from Parliament and one from Charles II regarding the furor over the Exclusion Bill. In the first work the tone is indeed almost aggressively humble as per the title but the position is utterly unyielding: The Catholic Duke of York will not be accepted in the line of succession as Charles II's life will allegedly be in constant deadly danger as long as there is any possibility of "a Popish Successor" p. 135. In response to the "Humble Address" Charles dismissed the Parliament and called another which also refused to do his bidding after which he issued the second piece here an attempt at justification which invokes the Fitzharris treason case.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: These two copies were joined together by a contemporary reader who marked the recto of the printing permission of the first piece with "The Address" and the verso of the permission of the second piece that is that piece's final page with "The King's Declaration. This read in ye Parochial Church of Thrandeston May ye first Anno Domini 1681. Tho. Mael." Mael served as rector of Thrandeston from 1670 until his death in 1709. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Humble Address: ESTC R228475; Nelson & Seccombe 647.49B. Declaration: Wing rev. ed. C3000; ESTC R13996.

107603London George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode 1847. . Folio 30 x 19 cm; woodcut royal coat of arms single leaf; a few small tears to upper margin not affecting text unbound.<br /> An act of Parliament confirming the validity of 'Marriages amongst the People called Quakers and amongst Persons professing the Jewish Religion'.<br /><br />The statute was drafted in response to the notorious 1844 case of R vs. Millis in which the House of Lords held that all marriages conducted without the presence of a member of clergy in holy orders were invalid in English common law. The effect was to throw doubt on the legitimacy of the marriages of all Jews and Quakers. William Christie 1816-874 the Liberal MP for Weymouth brought in a motion to dispel these concerns which was duly codified into law as 10 & 11 Vic. c.58.<br /> London, George E.

Docket title to verso of terminal leaf. Folio. Disbound. Stab-stitch holes to gutters. Later resewn. Early manuscript page numbers to upper margins. A rare survival of a report on the condition of British territories on the Gold Coast of Africa in particular efforts to tarry the Spanish and Portuguese slave trade. Of interest are the expense tables showing the cost of maintaining British forts in the region; Cape Coast Castle for example has an average annual charge of £3277 with 'Black Men's Pay' making up £179 and 'Castle Slaves' costing £990. The report is here paired with the second located copy of an addendum by sometime governor of Sierra Leone William Dawes 1762-1836 that whilst broadly agreeing with the findings nevertheless suggests an increase in naval power off the African Coast. Soon after this paper was printed Dawes at the suggestion of William Wilberforce travelled to Antigua to work for the anti-slavery cause there.

From the recently dispersed library of William St Clair with his distinctive pencilled ownership inscription to head of title. A series of dispatches relating to the violent torture of Cape Coast native Robert Erskine. In 1847 whilst a domestic in the service of Captain Augustus William Murray of the 1st West-India Regiment and stationed at the infamous Cape Coast Castle Erskine was accused of having stolen sundry articles of jewellery from the officer. Despite his protestations of innocence and a lack of any evidence connecting him with the crime Erskine was brutally tortured for eight days. In consequence of his torment he lost the use of his hands. It was later ascertained that the actual culprit was a soldier of the 1st West India Regiment and likely one of the individuals who engaged in Erskine's maltreatment. A year after the event the Aborigines Protection Society took up Erskine's case and successfully prosecuted it in 1851.

1817AQ27622London: s.n. 1817. 63pp 1. Disbound. Later resewn. Terminal leaf creased. The report of a parliamentary committee appointed to evaluate the condition of the state of trade and establishments of the African Company issued four years prior its ultimate dissolution by the British Government in 1821. With the exception of the major forts such as Cape Coast Castle many British forts were not particularly well defended nor maintained and as such their efficacy as a deterrent to slave traders greatly diminished. Parliament frustrated by this reduced effectiveness pursued a policy of reducing the number of African Company settlements through the abandonment of any upon strict inquiry not found to be of service in a sufficient degree to warrant their expenditure.
