COLLATION: A-B4 C-F8 G-Q4 COMPLETE. 2 19-176 pp. Attractive half calf antique marbled boards red morocco label gilt compartments gilt with small tools. ¶ FIRST EDITION of this important collection of Parliamentary debates providing original and valuable documentation of the constitutional crisis that ensued during the Glorious Revolution of 1688. James II of England a.k.a. James VII of Scotland while fleeing to France dropped the Great Seal of the Realm into the Thames. In Parliament the question was discussed whether he had forfeited the throne or had abdicated. The present volume offers detailed arguments for the both but ultimately the latter designation was agreed upon and in a full assembly of the Lords and Commons it was resolved in spite of James's protest "that King James II having endeavored to subvert the constitution of the kingdom by breaking the original contract between king and people and by the advice of Jesuits and other wicked persons having violated the fundamental laws and having withdrawn himself out of this kingdom has abdicated the government and that the throne is thereby vacant." The Scottish parliament pronounced a decree of forfeiture and deposition. ¶ In our copy the imprint reads "and to be sold" in another issue the imprint reads "and sold". ¶ References: Wing 2nd ed.

Sm. folio 3 leaves BLACK-LETTER throughout with fine woodblock arms of William III on front cover and woodblock illuminated capital on first page of text; disbound uncut a remarkably crisp clean copy. 8 Gulielmi III.The death of Queen Mary in 1695 isolated William as an object of Jacobite hatred; the motive for his assassination being the stronger since his death would no longer leave her in occupation of the throne. In February James II moved to Calais and the Jacobite conspirators moved to action. As William drove home to Kensington Palace from his weekly outing in Richmond Park he had to pass along a narrow and muddy lane near Turnham Green. Here he was to be surrounded and murdered. This was the most serious of the several plots against him but the plotters' security was lax and on 24 February William announced in parliament knowledge both of the plan and of the proposed invasion from France.This act arraigns Sir George Barclay and a number of lesser Jacobites including Johnson alias Harrison Durant alias Durance Michael Hare Major George Holmes Philip Hanford alias Browne Richard Richardson John Maxwell Bryerly Plowden and Hungate.Conspirators already languishing in Newgate are named as Counter Major John Bernardi Robert Cassells Robert Meldrum James Chambers and Robert Blackbourne.

Wing P4018. <br><br> Like many Puritans abhorring decadent celebrations Prynne was strongly opposed to religious feast days including Christmas and revelry such as stage plays He included in his Histriomastix 1632 a denunciation of actresses which was widely felt to be an attack of Queen Henrietta Maria. This book led to the most famous incidents in his life but the timing was accidental. <br> About 1624 Prynne had begun a book against stage-plays; on 31 May 1630 he obtained a license to print it and about November 1632 it was published. Histriomastix is a volume of over a thousand pages showing that plays were unlawful incentives to immorality and condemned by the scriptures Church Fathers modern Christian writers and pagan philosophers. By chance the queen and her ladies in January 1633 took part in the performance of Walter Montagu's The Shepherd's Paradise: this was an innovation at court. A passage reflecting on the character of female actors in general was construed as an aspersion on the queen; passages which attacked the spectators of plays and magistrates who failed to suppress them pointed by references to Nero and other tyrants were taken as attacks on the king Charles I. <br>William Noy as attorney-general instituted proceedings against Prynne in the Star-chamber. After a year's imprisonment in the Tower of London he was sentenced 17 February 1634 to be imprisoned during life to be fined to be expelled from Lincoln's Inn to be deprived of his degree by the university of Oxford and to lose both his ears in the pillory. Prynne was pilloried on 7 May and 10 May. On 11 June he addressed to Archbishop Laud whom he regarded as his chief persecutor a letter charging him with illegality and injustice. Laud handed the letter to the attorney-general as material for a new prosecution but when Prynne was required to own his handwriting he contrived to get hold of the letter and tore it to pieces. In the Tower Prynne wrote and published anonymous tracts against episcopacy and against the Book of Sports. In one he introduced Noy's recent death as a warning. Elsewhere he attacked prelates in general 1635. An anonymous attack on Matthew Wren bishop of Norwich brought him again before the Star-chamber. <br> On 14 June 1637 Prynne was sentenced once more to a fine to imprisonment for life and to lose the rest of his ears. At the proposal of Chief-justice John Finch he was also to be branded on the cheeks with the letters S. L. signifying 'seditious libeller'. Prynne was pilloried on 30 June in company with Henry Burton and John Bastwick and Prynne was handled barbarously by the executioner. He made as he returned to his prison a couple of Latin verses explaining the 'S. L.' with which he was branded to mean 'stigmata laudis' sign of praise. He was released by the Long Parliament in 1640. The House of Commons declared the two sentences against him illegal restored him to his degree and to his membership of Lincoln's Inn and voted him pecuniary reparation as late as October 1648 he was still trying to collect it. He supported the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War particularly in the press and in many pamphlets while still pursuing the bishops. Printed at London : For M.S hardcover

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.
