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

164617558London: Printed by T.W. Thomas Warren for Ed. Edward Husband 1646. FIRST EDITION. Engraved frontispiece woodcut headpieces. Contemporary calf worn especially at spine joints somewhat tender; first blank appears to be torn out leaf with frontispiece repaired some browning and soiling mostly on edges. Overall a good copy from the library of the Earls of Macclesfield with their dated 1860 bookplate motto “Sapere aude†on the paste-down and blind embossed stamp of armorial on first three leaves. First edition. In 1640 King Charles I established the Long Parliament in order to acquire funds for the Bishop’s War against the Scots. However as soon as the Long Parliament took control they began dismantling the monarchy’s authority by removing the king’s advisors and sympathizers. The orders and ordinances collected in this copy begin at this crucial moment and cover the duration of the English Civil War from 1642 to 1646. It is therefore an excellent reference source for laws and statutes during the English Civil War. It also contains several matters of Colonial interest including An Order for advancement of the Plantations in New England; An Order to make the Earl of Warwick Governor of the Plantations in America; An Ordinance against Importation of Whale-oyl; and An additional Committee for ordering Foreign Plantations among others.<br /> <br /> Wing provides the name of the printer for this copy and lists several other volumes containing records of orders over a range of years.
