164237985London: Printed for John Wright 1642. 4to 19 cm 7.5". 8 pp. <br><br>First edition. This ordinance made provision for privateers to hinder aid reaching the Irish during the Rebellion of 1641 although the rebellion wasn't entirely quelled until Cromwell's New Model Army reconquered Ireland in 1653. The war was almost certainly the most destructive in Irish history and its abiding legacy was the wholesale transfer of land ownership and political power from the old Catholic elite to a Protestant one in part newly installed and in part pre-existing the war. The publisher of this wartime proclamation was an official printer for the Parliament of England and published several early newspapers and ballads. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â ESTC R19001; Wing rev. ed.

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 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.

183119854London 1831. FIRST PRINTING. Drop title; with a number of contemporary annotations corrections on Schedules A and B pp. 26-27. Sewn as issued preserved in a folding case. First printing of the final revisions to the Great Reform Bill. This was the second bill put up for a Parliamentary vote. The initial version of the bill March 1831 was rejected by Parliament.<br /> <br /> The Great Reform Bill of 1831 also known as the Reform Act was a significant piece of legislation in the United Kingdom aimed at addressing the deficiencies in the electoral system. Before the bill representation in Parliament was heavily skewed with many industrial cities lacking adequate representation while rural areas held disproportionate power. The bill sought to expand the electorate improve representation and reduce the influence of "rotten boroughs" which were sparsely populated constituencies that had the same voting power as more populous areas.<br /> <br /> The bill proposed to extend the franchise to more men particularly those in the burgeoning middle class and aimed to redistribute parliamentary seats to reflect population changes especially due to the industrial revolution. Although it faced fierce opposition from the House of Lords public pressure and widespread protests highlighted the demand for reform. The rejection of the initial version of the bill led to a wave of public agitation and a second attempt which was again passed by the House of Commons and rejected by the House of Lords. Ultimately this third version passed after the government threatened to create new peers to secure its approval in the House of Lords. <br /> <br /> The Great Reform Bill marked a pivotal moment in British political history laying the groundwork for future electoral reforms and increasing public participation in the democratic process. unknown

1664002881S.l. Grenoble : s. n. 1664. Very good. First edition thus OCLC lists one copy at Yale with the same title but different text and date - 1638; this edition not in OCLC; 8 3/4 x 6 1/4; single leaf removed text to recto only; illustrated with a woodcut border above the title; a small manuscript note to top margin; minor spotting to left margin; in very good condition. Reaffirming a royal edict first issued in 1556 the document dealt with prostitutes or women who had conceived in a dishonest way and concealed their pregnancy and after giving birth killed their infants and burried them or threw them away. The women were to be punished by death the manner of which was to be determined depending on the gruesomeness of the particular case. The paper contained an extract of the original 1556 edict as well which also required all unmarried women to officially declare their pregnancy and ordered the death penalty for any such mother whose infant died before receiving proper baptism regardless if an infanticide had actually occured. In early modern Europe pregnant unmarried women could face punishment for fornication and if they had a miscarriage or the newborn died they could be accused of infanticide but the courts rarely saw such cases as the magistrates were aware of the physicians' limitations in diagnosing and distinguishing a stillbirth a natural-cause death and a murder. It all chaged throughout most of Europe in the 16th century arguably beginning with the above-mentioned 1556 edict in France which was followed by similar ones in England and Germany in the 1600s and the early-1700s. s. n. unknown books
