(HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY). GREAT BRITAIN PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONSBiblio.com

1749. Report From The Committee Appointed To Inquire into the State and Condition of the Countries Adjoining to Hudson's Bay And Of The Trade Carried On There

elala2079London: c1780. Later issue of one of the most important reports on the Hudson's Bay Company. The parliamentary investigation into the activities of the Hudson's Bay Company was undertaken as a result of a petition made to the Lords in Council in 1749 aimed at depriving the Company of its charter. The petitioners argued that the charter of 1670 granting sole rights of trade and commerce in the entire area beyond the entrance of the Hudson Straits was either invalid or forfeited and requested an incorporation giving them similar rights over the adjacent region. Arthur Dobbs had provided the initial stimulus and basic grounding for the petition; his was the most sustained and vociferous attack on the meanness rapacity secrecy and jealousy of the Hudson's Bay Company alleging that their policies and attitudes had thrown the fur trade into the hands of the French in Canada and were stifling the exploration of the Canadian North-West. Among the travelers traders and merchants summoned as witnesses to give testimony before the committee were Joseph Robson Matthew Serjeant Arthur Dobbs and William Moore. Appended is the Hudson's Bay Company Charter as well as the valuable narrative of French Canadian fur trader Joseph La France describing the state of the French fortresses in Montreal and Quebec and their lucrative trade with the Indians. The Papers Presented to the Committee contain information regarding voyages undertaken in search of the north-west passage sales made by the Hudson's Bay Company Henry Kelsey's journals of his attempt to open commerce with the Naywatamee Indians in 1691-92 &c. Although the impeachment failed and the monopoly was to continue for another hundred years it did alarm the Company into initiating serious and concerted exploration of the unknown western reaches of the Charter.

Rubbed and marked joint starting. Pastedowns sprung armorial bookplate of Maule of Kellie engraved by A. Burden to verso of upper board scattered spotting occasional damp-staining. A comprehensive collection of the complete printed output of the Scottish Parliamentary Sessions which occurred during the reign of Charles I reflecting perhaps the most tumultuous period of political and social history in early modern Scotland and printing some key constitutional tenets of an increasingly independent Scottish government. The first Scottish Parliament of Charles I's reign met at Edinburgh in June 1633 and whilst it marked the highpoint of his authority in the country it also sowed the seeds for what would supersede it; the establishment of a coherent opposition to increasingly burdensome royal rule the declaration of a National Covenant and the outbreak of the Bishops Wars. By the time Charles I's second Scottish parliament met seven years later power over the legislature had been secured by the Covenanting party; the acts passed and the resulting constitutional settlement which endured for over a decade saw the newly muscular body securing control over the executive and future judicial appointments. Included in this printed account of the acts are 'Act XXXIII. Act for the Committees of Estates' and 'Acts XXXVIII. Ordaining the whole subjects and leiges of this Kingdome to obey maintaine and defend the Conclusions Acts and Constitutions of this present session of Parliament' which respectively established a revolutionary committee structure replacing the Lords of the Articles and tied - by oath - individual Members of Parliament to the authority of decisions made by the body. The result of these steps and the clamorous British context in which they existed during the Wars of the Three Kingdoms was - as witnessed by this large volume - far more frequent sittings of parliament and a considerable growth in the remit and output of its Acts. The sixth act of the second sitting of the second parliament for example ratified the London Treaty - a considerable victory for the Covenanting Party - whilst the fifth act of the first sitting of the Triennial parliament of 1644 ratified with a full printing of it within the text the Solemn League and Covenant preserving the sanctity of the reformed religion in Scotland and leading to an alliance between the Scottish Parliament and the English Parliament of Cromwell. Much of the remainder of these acts which record the output of the full six sittings of the first Triennial parliament and the first three sittings of the second Triennial parliament concerns the preparations for a military invasion of England in 1648. However on defeat a coup ensured the replacement of the regime by radical Covenanters who after the execution of Charles I by the English Parliament as the 14th Act of the second session of the second triennial parliament Proclaimed Charles II as 'King of great Britain France and Ireland' the condition that he subscribed to the National Covenant of 1637 for the subjects of all his kingdoms. The Maule of Kellie bookplate engraved presumably by Archibald Burden of Edinburgh in this copy suggests early eighteenth-century Scottish ownership; given the content of the volume a likely candidate would be Harry Maule of Kellie 1659-1734 Scottish Jacobite army officer and scholar the third son of George Earl of Panmure. .

An Act for rendering more effectual an Act made in the Fourteenth Year of the Reign of His Majesty for promoting the Discovery of a Method for finding the Longitude at Sea so far as relates to the Encouragement and Reward of Persons making lesser Discoveries for finding the same or making other useful Discoveries and Improvements in Navigation; and to the making of Experiments relating thereto.

1777599Anno Regni GEORGII III REGIS Magnae Britaniiae Franciae & Hiberniae DECIMO SEPTIMO. At the Parliament Begun and holden at Westminster the Twenty-ninth Day of November Anno Domini 1774 in the Fifteenth Year of our Sovereign Lord GEORGE the Third by the Grace of God of Great Britain France and Ireland King Defender of the Faith. FIRST EDITION 4 1039-1042 woodcut coat of arms on title woodcut floriated initial text in black letter unbound folio 320 x 200mm London Charles Eyre and William Strahan 1777 This important act emphasised the Government's dedication to improving general science and navigation by offering rewards to those who could find an accurate method for determining longitude at sea. The first Longitude Act of 1714 was Parliament's response to the loss of 2000 lives in 1707 when four British navy ships ran aground after miscalculating the longitude. The Act offered prize money of £10000 reduced from £20000 for a reliable and accurate method of determining longitude at sea. Research and related experimentation were also encouraged and award money was made available for lesser discoveries and specific improvements. The competitions attracted the skill and imagination of the greatest scientific minds and mariners of the time.The most prominent and successful competitor was John Harrison 1693-1776 who received disbursements of £22000 over a period of 35 years for his brilliant discoveries and invention of the marine chronometer. This was however not without a struggle for recognition. The marine chronometer was quicker but the preferred avenue of institutionalisation was the Lunar Distance Method. The Lunar Distance method was a method to determine longitude using certain astrological measurements and specific corrections marked in yearly almanacks. The Act of 1765 put caveats and conditions on the original act of 1714 and included stipulations that applied specifically to Harrison. It even named him in the opening language and described the current status of his contrariety with the board. Only with the relentless championing from his son and the personal intervention of King George III Harrison was awarded the monetary prize he was due. The Longitude Act 1777 reiterated specific goals of the program as revised by the 1774 Longitude Act and approved an additional £5000 for continued research work and experimentation and for awards to recognize lesser contributory discoveries as approved by the Commissioners of the Board of Longitude.The Longitude at Sea program was successful in multiple ways and facilitated important advances in mathematics astronomy horology navigation and Arctic exploration. Over the life of the program a total of £53000 in prize money was awarded to more than sixty participants. Charles Eyre and William Strahan

North West Passage An Act for giving a publick Reward to such Person or Persons His Majesty’s Subject or Subjects as shall discover a North West Passage through Hudson’s Streights to the Western and Southern Ocean of America

1745583Anno Regni GEORGII II REGIS Magnae Britaniiae Franciae & Hiberniae DECIMO OCTAVO. At the Parliament Begun and holden at Westminster the First Day of December Anno Domini 1741 in the Fifteenth Year of our Sovereign Lord GEORGE the Second by the Grace of God of Great Britain France and Ireland King Defender of the Faith. FIRST EDITION 2 483-486 woodcut coat of arms on title woodcut floriated initial text in black letter folio 320 x 200mm London Thomas Baskett 1745The third Act to be published on the Northwest Passage the act of 1745 offered the enormous sum of £20000 for the discovery of a north-west passage providing that they were a British subject. The preamble to the Act stated the expected economic benefits of the discovery of the passage and that it would be "a great encouragement to adventurers" to offer a prize. The allocated sum was £20000 to be paid to the owners of the first ships to successfully make such a passage.The Board of Longitude existed from 1714 until 1828 after the original Act of Parliament was passed in 1714. First added to in 1741 the act was subsequently amended or repealed and replaced on numerous occasions until the Board was dissolved by Act of Parliament in 1828. This Act established a group of commissioners to determine the validity of any claims and restricted the scope of the Act to only apply to British subjects. It further required all British subjects to provide help and assistance to the explorers when necessary. In setting a hefty monetary reward and promoting the potential benefits to society this act of Parliament likely intensified the Northwest Passage fervour and motivated explorers to venture deep into the Arctic.When the Act was extended in 1775 and the reward reiterated Cook took up the mantle leading to his third voyage.

Slavery and Abolition British Parliamentary Investigation of the Atlantic Slave Trade Abridgment of the Minutes of Evidence 1789 - 1791

1789187101789. Committee of the Whole House of the British Parliament investigation into the Atlantic slave trade recorded in Abridgment of the Minutes of the Evidence Taken Before a Committee of the Whole House to Whom It Was Referred to Consider of the Slave Trade published 1789 to 1791 presenting one of the earliest parliamentary documentary compilations addressing the operation and human consequences of the transatlantic slave trade. The volumes preserve testimony gathered during parliamentary inquiries that examined the practices of British slave traders and the treatment of enslaved Africans transported across the Atlantic. These proceedings formed part of the political campaign in Britain that eventually culminated in the abolition of the British slave trade in 1807. The collected evidence includes statements from ship surgeons naval officers merchants and other witnesses whose accounts describe the conditions experienced by enslaved Africans during capture transport and plantation labor. Abridgment of the Minutes of the Evidence Taken Before a Committee of the Whole House To Whom It Was Referred to Consider of the Slave Trade. London: 1789-1791. First edition first printing. Four volumes bound in two books. The compilation reproduces testimony presented before Parliament concerning the organization and operation of the slave trade and includes firsthand statements describing the physical suffering and resistance of enslaved Africans during transport. Surgeon Alexander Falcon-Bridge who had firsthand experience aboard slave ships described acts of despair among captives: he "Has known several enslaved persons to refuse sustenance with a design to starve themselves. refusing to take medicines when sick because they wished to die. Many other slaves expressed the same." Another witness Royal Navy surgeon Thomas Trotter recorded the emotional trauma experienced by captives during embarkation noting that "Slaves on being brought on board showed signs of extreme distress and despair from a feeling of their situation and regret at being torn from friends and connections." The volumes therefore preserve testimony that exposed the violence and human suffering embedded within the Atlantic slave trading system. During the eighteenth century European and American traders transported millions of Africans across the Atlantic through a commercial system that relied on maritime networks linking West Africa the Caribbean and the Americas. Parliamentary investigations of the slave trade in the late eighteenth century were fueled in part by abolitionist activism and public campaigns demanding government inquiry into the practice. Publications of witness testimony such as this abridged parliamentary record circulated evidence used by reformers advocating the end of the trade. Four volumes bound in two books with folding table in the fourth volume. Octavo format. Contemporary marbled quarter calf bindings with modern bookplates on the front past down. Wear present with most spine titles lacking and foxing primarily affecting the title pages; text remains clear. Overall condition very good. unknown
