18911London: Printed by William du-Gard and Henry Hills Printers to His Highness the Lord Protector. MDCLIII 1653. title continued "As it was publickly declared at Westminster the 16. day of December 1653 . . . OLIVER LORD PROTECTOR of the said Common-wealth took a Solemn Oath for observing the same." Wing CD-ROM 1996 G1456F ; Thomason E.10635 Signatures: E2 F-L² chi¹. Issued separately and possibly also as part of a through-paged set. The last leaf bears "The oath taken by His Highness Oliver Cromwel Lord Protector" signed printed: O. Cromwell. Pp.2 21-46 modern rebinding marbled boards title on spine in red and gold quarter leather tract marked and stained throughout mainly title but text clear and complete. The number "26" has been scrawled on the title. Many institutions in UK and USA have copies but I have found no auction or catalogue reference suggesting great scarcity. This view is supported by the instigator Robert Amadeus Baron Heath of a facsimile edition for the Philobiblon Society "Reprinted in fac-simile for Private Circulation 16th May 1867" in an unknown number of copies. In an autograph letter enclosed in my copy he says "I possess what I believe to be the only copy of the original"!. Note: The importance of the text is indicated by its appearance in "The Making of the Modern World: The Goldsmiths'-Kress Library of Economic Literature 1450-1850". Locke uses the title phrase in his "Second Treatise" e.g. "Whoever therefore from thenceforth by inheritance purchase permission or otherways enjoys any part of the land so annexed to and under the government of that common-wealth must take it with the condition it is under; that is of submitting to the government of the common-wealth under whose jurisdiction it is as far forth as any subject of it." And Hobbes's "Leviathan". London: Printed, by William du-Gard, and Henry Hills, Printers to His Highness the Lord Protector. MDCLIII (1653). hardcover

18595118London: Unpublished Manuscript Letters 1859. No Binding. Good. ALS. Mary Anne Everett Green writes to the Society of Antiquaries about the discovery of a new document in the hand of Oliver Cromwell's wife Elizabeth Cromwell as 'I understand that the society of Antiquaries pleases itself somewhat upon being possessor of what has been supposed to be the only known autograph of Elizabeth Cromwell the protectress.' Writing on three sides of a bifolium in May 1859 from the 'State Paper Office' where she was then working Green describes the discovery among 'an immense mass of petitions' and appends a copy of the document not present with her inferences about the handwriting as well as a second copy of a document by Henry Cromwell and further explanation of her discovery. Green signs off with a hint of gloating: 'I think these papers will possess some interest for the Society' and signs her name in full. The letter was heavily revised during writing; there is a stain to the first page and a note above the address in another hand: 'read 9. June '59'. Green helped oversee the establishment of the Public Record Office as well as writing extensively on British history. Good 1859 Unpublished Manuscript Letters unknown

182188609London England: Longman & Co.; Printed by P. Youngman 1821. First Edition. Leather-bound. Very Good. 18mo. 6.4 in. x 4 in. Volume I: pp. 216. Volume II: 216. Both volumes illustrated with engraved frontis and title page; 26 additional full-page engraved plates to volume I and 46 additional engraved plates to Volume II.

Touch of spotting to title page of volume II and engraved plates. Spine and hinges tight; bright interior. Thomas Cromwell 1792-1870 worked for Longman the publisher before becoming a unitarian minister. He was an enthusiastic antiquary and besides several other works wrote the text to accompany the engraved views for the series Excursions through England and Wales Scotland Ireland. <br /> <br /> The Excursions through Ireland was planned as a 12 volume work to be published in monthly numbers which was to cover the entire island and to contain 600 engravings later reduced to 400. In the event interest was insufficient and after two volumes had been published the work began to experience difficulties although it did struggle on to complete a third volume with a reduced complement of plates before collapsing. <br /> <br /> The scope and method of the work is described on the wrappers of the parts. It notices that most works on Ireland had dealt both in text and illustration with a restricted highly repetitive range of places mainly the principal towns and cities. "A work like the present therefore comprising the topography statistics history and antiquities of the whole country has become imperatively necessary. The editor will be an actual visitant to every place he describes; and his manuscript will be submitted to the inspection of gentlemen whose local knowledge as residents and antiquaries is indisputable previously to its issuing from the press. It should be noticed also that the work will by no means be found a dry detail of sites buildings ruins agricultural produce &c; but that it will be the editor's chief endeavour to render it an image of the country and the people it portrays - luxuriant wild original and interesting - all in no common degree" <br /> <br /> The first volume focuses on Dublin city and the second explores the villages and towns of Cos. Dublin Louth Meath Westmeath Kildare and Longford. Each volume has its own separate detailed index. <br /> <br /> The plates softly executed line engravings mainly after drawings by the distinguished Irish antiquarian and artist George Petrie provide particularly in the proof state in these volumes an excellent view of the contemporary landscape villages antiquities bridges &c.
