173521297London: John Baskett 1735. Very good condition. An Act for the better regulating the Nightly Watch and Bedels within the Parish of Saint Martin in the Fields within the Liberties of the City of Westminster". An early attempt to establish policing in the parish with much interesting content on the proposed policies including: meeting date set to determine number of watchmen needed; how to fill vacancies; times for watching; the duties of constables & watchmen; payment by half yearly assessment; the assessment on houses of ambassadors to be paid by landlords; and hired servants barred from serving as watchmen. It was not until 1774 when Sir Charles Whitworth pushed through the Westminster Night Watch Act that additional security measures were finally approved such as specifying the minimum number of watchmen and patrols punishments for infractions by watchmen and allowing watchmen from different parishes to assist in other parishes. With the first page of the Act followed by pp183 - 190. Folio. John Baskett unknown

Top corner of the margins have a diagonal cut no loss of text perhaps to remove the "Arrest" from others that were fastened together otherwise the edges are untrimmed. ADDED: Arrest de la cour de Parlement contre la famille de Robert-Francois Damiens Extrait des registres du Parlement. Du 29 Mars 1757. 4to: 3 pp. THE INFAMOUS DAMIENS TRIAL CHANGED THE CRIMINAL PUNISHMENT PROCESS IN CIVILIZED NATIONS WORLDWIDE. <br/><br/>¶ First printing of all the gruesome details of the trial and death sentence by torture on Robert-Francois Damiens for feebly attempting to assassinate Louis XV. The sentence mandated execution by means of torture that was so cruel so ghastly so horrible and so sickening that it merited immediate and justifiable outrage on an international scale and even now continues to shock legal and sociological historians notably Michel Fouchault who described Damiens's torture and execution at length in his pioneering work on "Discipline and Punishment" 1979. Damiens' was the last sentence of its kind in France and the events prompted real changes in the punishment phase of the legal system in France and elsewhere. <br/><br/>¶ By the present Parliamentary decree the Royal Executioner aided by sixteen assistants was ordered first to torture Damiens with red-hot pincers; the hand with which Damiens had held the knife during the attempted assassination was to be burned with sulpher. Then molten wax molten lead and boiling oil were to be poured into the aforementioned wounds. He was then to be publicly drawn and quartered. <br/><br/>¶ All of this went according to plan except for the final punishment: Damiens' limbs did not separate even after several horrific hours during which time two of the four horses became so exhausted that they had to be replaced by two fresh horses. Damiens' endless shrieks were so incredibly disturbing that many people in the crowd -- including the Royal Executioner Nicolas-Charles-Gabriel Sanson -- were unable to watch and turned away. The officiants came to realize that the process simply was simply not working. As Sanson had abrubtly resigned from his post his son was ordered to partially cut Damiens' limbs with an ax in order to save the horses from further misery. When at last Damiens' limbs were pulled apart his reportedly still-living torso was burnt at the stake. <br/><br/>¶ Ours appear to be the only copies on the market. <br/><br/>¶ ADDED: The Edict which sentenced Damiens' family their only crime being that they were in some way related to him. The "Arrest de la cour de Parlement contre la famille de Robert-François Damiens Extrait des registres du Parlement" is the infamous 3-page pamphlet that was published on March 29 1757 i.e. on the day following Damiens' execution; it records the Parliamentary sentence of Damiens' family which mandated that: the house of Damiens' birth was to be razed; his wife daughter and father were to be banished from France and all other relatives were ordered to change their names with immediate effect.

17704095Paris: Chez Lotlin/Chez La Combe 1770. Hardcover. Good. Instructions for Lords and their Valets". Possibly a 1st edition; the 'Approbation' is dated 1769. This is extremely scarce; we haven't heard of another copy. I had no luck finding the identity of Monsieur "R" but I don't read French. Good plus in a very old binding possibly contemporary. Full leather finished with a marbling effect boards slt. bowed gilt borders gilt title and many devices on spine marbled endpapers red chalk edges. Corners worn and bumped spine ends worn external front hinge weak so that leather is beginning to split. 2" near the top. The text has been trimmed for the binding but the margins were quite large. The tail of a trimmed-off owner's name appears at the top of the title page. The 18th-century marbled paper is quite beautiful; the binder was a bit clumsy and there are creases in both pastedowns. A splay of foxing on the half-title page but nowhere else. Text pages in French very clean and bright. Printed by Lottin one of the more prolific publishers of 18th-century France. 278 pp. An interesting guide to recommended behavior published just 19 years before the Revolution. <br/> <br/> Chez Lotlin/Chez La Combe hardcover
