181824993London: John Baskett and others printers 1818. 12 works folio. 12 1/2 x 8 inches and smaller. Disbound or stitched<br/> <br/> A fascinating series spanning the whole of the period when whaling was carried out on a successful commercial basis in the waters off Greenland.<br/> <br/> 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.

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.

Near Fine.<br /> <br /> These books print observations and official dispatches beginning in 1871 that tell the story of the Barbados insurrection beginning in 1876. "Slavery in Barbados was abolished in 1834. . . Despite gaining their freedom in the sense of no longer being 'owned' officially life for plantation workers remained difficult for many years. Perhaps the same children whose parents avoided having them apprenticed became involved 40 years later in the Confederation Riots of 1876. The primary cause of these riots is often cited as the proposed confederation of Barbados and the Windward Islands. However it is very likely that this was one cause of many and the primary reason for unrest and unhappiness was down to pay working and living conditions. The 'despatches' of 1875 describe cases of death by starvation - one of a baby whose mother had had to return to work weeks after giving birth and could not feed her daughter often enough or worked so hard so soon that she could not produce enough milk. According to the rector of the Parish Church this was a common occurrence. . . Cases such as this were the primary causes of unrest in Barbados in the 1870s. These cases illustrate the difficulties faced by the descendants of enslaved African-Caribbeans and the long lasting legacy of the slave trade." online The National Archives essay 'When did plantation workers in Barbados truly become free'.

Folio pp ii added general title-page for the parliamentary year 737-756; unbound neat paper spine. <p><p>A crucial landmark in the creation of the Australian Agricultural Company and the first official use of the great company's name. Two months earlier the House of Commons had passed a bill incorporating "The Australian Company of London" which this overrides Ferguson 949.</p> <p>The Australian Agricultural Company or AACo played a huge role in shaping the early Australian economy. From its establishment in 1824 it was responsible for the development and expansion of the Hunter Valley and other regions. Surviving all the rural challenges - including droughts economic depressions and labour shortages - its long-term impact on early Australia was substantial in establishing agriculture as a primary industry and contributing to Australia's economy famously "riding on the sheep's back".</p> <p>AACo continues to be a significant player in today's agricultural sector today as Australia's largest integrated cattle and beef producer owning and operating approximately 7 million hectares of land in Queensland and the Northern Territory. This vast landholding represents roughly 1% of Australia's land mass highlighting the company's substantial presence in the country's agricultural landscape.</p> </p> .

18035000976Edinburgh: printed by Sir D. Hunter Blair & J. Bruce 1803. Folio pp. 1-14 disbound. <p><p>One of the most important amendments to the laws of Transportation formalising the requirement for convict vessels to carry a Surgeon and thus directly responsible for a huge improvement in mortality rates. The Act is also interesting for noting some of the abuses rampant aboard convict transports and other passenger vessels travelling from Britain.</p> <p>The First Fleet had been provisioned by the Admiralty itself and the Surgeons on board led by John White had an excellent record. From the Second Fleet onwards the task was contracted to private companies infamously derelict on the Second Fleet itself and with wildly varying results over the ensuing decade. On several occasions officers colluded to deny the convicts their correct rations so that the surplus could be sold upon arrival at Port Jackson for a handsome profit. A plan to return convicts to naval vessels was scuppered by the ongoing conflict with France.</p> <p>This Act regulated the terms of carrying all passengers free or convict detailing acceptable provisioning and the role of the Surgeon and allowing for a bond of £50 per head to be paid by the owners of any vessel. Although abuses continued aboard the convict transports conditions did improve overall and the casualty rate for convicts sent to New South Wales fell from one in ten between 1795 and 1801 to one in forty-six for the period 1802-1812. One paradoxical result was that British conservatives started to criticise the transports as being too comfortable and therefore a poor deterrent to crime.</p> </p> . printed by Sir D.

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.
