Small 4to. 190 mm. Later blue boards binding; leather title strip lettered in gilt. Clean and attractive copy. Charles I (1600-1649), King of Great Britain and Ireland. In his early disputes, arguments, and battles with the Scots, tried a new tool. He resolved to call an English parliament, and to ask for means to enable him to make war effectually upon Scotland. The discovery of an attempt made by the Scottish leaders to open negotiations with the king of France led him to hope that the national English feeling would be touched. In the meanwhile the English privy councillors offered him a loan which would enable him at least to gather an army without parliamentary aid. The Short parliament of 1640 was opened by the King on 13 April with a few words indicative of the gravity of the situation, the task of more fully setting forth the royal wishes and intentions being devolved upon the Lord Keeper (Baron Finch). Under Pym's leadership the Parliament showed itself disposed to ask for redress of grievances as a condition of a grant of supply, and it subsequently refused to give money unless peace were made with the Scots. On 5 May Charles dissolved parliament by means of this Declaration. Getting money by irregular means, he proceeded to push on the war, and formed an Irish army to join the mutinous and un-warlike Royal army. Terrified and exasperated Englishmen, believed that this army would be used in England to crush their liberties. The Scots knew that the opinion in England was in their favour, and they had already entered into communication with the parliamentary leaders. On 20 Aug. they crossed the Tweed, defeated part of the royal army at Newburn on the 28th, and soon afterwards occupied Newcastle and Durham. Charles's money was by this time almost exhausted, and he was obliged to summon the English peers to meet him in a great council at York, as there was no time to get together a full parliament. The great council met on 24 Sept. It at once insisted on opening negotiations with the Scots, and sent some of its members to London to obtain a loan to support the army during the progress of the treaty. Charles had now agreed to summon another parliament, and the negotiations opened at Ripon were adjourned to London.

18337535Printed by George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode Printers to the King's most Excellent Majesty 1833. 12pp. sm. folio with fine woodcut arms of William IV on front page; disbound an exceptionally crisp virtually spotless copy ideal for display or presentation. 3 Gulielmi IV. Cap. 9; granted royal assent 6 May 1833. This is the Act of Parliament formally incorporating the Seaman's Hospital Society establishing and naming its first governors and prescribing its powers and scope of operations. By way of context its military equivalent the Royal Hospital at Chelsea was founded in 1692. The world's first charitable society for the relief of distressed seamen was established in London in March 1821. Initially it aimed to cater for those in the Port of London 'who at that time were very numerous in the Metropolis' and fittingly for the world's leading maritime nation did not differentiate on nationality or any other grounds other than disability and hardship. The motivating principles seem to have been partly public gratitude in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars in which the Royal Navy in particular had played a fundamental role in achieving victory and partly increased recognition of the helplessness of private seamen and the strength of their cause. The society was supported entirely by donations subscriptions and legacies and by the loan by government of a hospital ship HMS Dreadnought moored at Greenwich. In its first twelve years the society provided relief and support to upwards of twenty-three thousand sick and distressed seamen 'many of whom might otherwise have perished'. With the case clearly made it was time for a more formal and robust body with increased remit and governance; accordingly the Seaman's Hospital Society was given royal assent on 6 May 1833. Its significant extra powers included the rights to possess property receive bequests purchase lands and canvass donations; most important of all it was granted 'perpetual succession'. The original HMS Dreadnought continued in use until 1870 when the Admiralty made available at nominal rent the infirmary at Greenwich where the 'Dreadnought' hospital continues to this day.

Due volumi in folio imperiale legati in mezza pelle, titolo ai dorsi decorati in oro, sguardie, frontespizio al primo volume, pagine da 1 a 706 e da 1441 a 2134. Trattasi dei resoconti ufficiali della Camera dei Deputati in seduta con la trascrizione esatta dei diversi interventi. Uno spaccato assolutamente inconsueto sulla politica e sulla vita stessa dello Stato. Da segnalare le infinite notizie riguardanti l'economia, il gioco politico, la guerra, i trattati interstatali e quant'altro si vuol sottolineare, con il resoconto degli interventi di coloro che (Da Cavour a Minghetti a Boncompagni) ebbero la ventura d'assistere alla nascita della Nazione italiana. Inutile discettare sull'importanza e sulla scarsa reperibilità di tanto documento, resta da dire solo che la conservazione è ottima.
1783113275No place: no printer identified 1783. Pro bono work First and apparently only edition of this speech promoting the establishment in Toulouse of an order of lawyers offering free legal representation to the poor a "league of generous defenders of the oppressed and destitute". When Maître Gez c.1700-1792 gave this speech to his peers at the Parlement in Toulouse he had already constituted a group of thirty-two lawyers providing free counsel to the poor. The group was divided into two chambers according to seniority and met monthly. Appealing to the generosity of his peers to form a society of men dedicated to the pursuit of justice and set free from the "domination of greed" Gez cites as models to follow Montesquieu Beccaria and Servan as well as the Bareau of the city of Nancy which had already implemented a similar system. Jean Nicolas Joseph Abraham Gez had a long career at the Bar and was made a member of the Académie des Sciences Inscriptions et Belles Lettres de Toulouse in 1785. Quarto 238 x 190 mm 21 pp. Engraved vignette at head of first leaf. Disbound and stab sewn through the original stab holes.
