17363222Lichfield England 1736. Oblong document on vellum upper edge scallopped 143 x 214 mm. recto with letterpress form accomplished in manuscript in brown ink slightly faded but legible one passage erased large woodcut armorial initial and 2 pence duty mark strip of three blue sixpence stamps red wax seal paper stamp on verso. Slight soiling to corners and part of top edge.<br /> <br /> A bookseller joins the toy trade: Robert Shaw son of the Lichfield bookseller of the same name agrees to an apprenticeship of seven years during which he promises to serve his master keep his secrets to not waste or lend his Goods; and “Taverns Inns or Ale-houses he shall not haunt At Cards Dice Tables or any other unlawful Game he shall not playâ€. For this the toymaker Richard Robinson agrees to pay 5 pounds into the public charity pledges to feed and lodge his new Apprentice and added in manuscript promises his father Robert Shaw Sr. “to fund and provide for his said Son wearing apparell of all sorts as well Linens as Woolens during the said term.â€<br /> <br /> Lichfield Staffordshire was the childhood home of Samuel Johnson 1709-1784 whose father Michael Johnson was also a bookseller; as a boy Johnson sometmes bound books for his father to help earn money. Contemplation of the latter’s debt-ridden career may throw light on the motives of his colleague Shaw Sr. in sending his son out to learn another profession. <br /> <br /> A bookseller Robert Shaw is known from archival sources including a payment to him in 1737 by Lichfield Cathedral for lettering books in the library cf. Peter Hanks The Bookbinder and Historical Invisibility: Bookbinding and the Staffordshire book trade 1750-1850 thesis University of Wolverhampton 2024. Booksellers in this period were more involved in actual book production and their duties included supplying bookbindings. <br /> <br /> A colleague who previously owned this document remarked: “I have not been able to determine how Robert Shaw the Younger fared in the toy trade or if he was able to follow the indenture’s commandment `Taverns Inns or Ale-houses he shall not haunt’ which he never could have done if he’d followed his father into bookselling.†unknown

1713186652London: Printed for John Baskett Printer to the Queens most Excellent Majesty And by the Assigns of Thomas Newcomb and Henry Hills deceas'd 1713. A foundational document in the transatlantic slave trade First edition of a major development of the transatlantic slave trade which greatly expanded the market for British slave traders in the Americas and helped establish Britain as the predominant slave trading power. After the War of the Spanish Succession Spain ceded to Britain the exclusive right to import African slaves into Spanish America. This monopoly the Assiento was delegated to the newly formed South Sea Company and held until 1750. The supposed value of the Assiento was the basis of the South Sea Bubble. In fact the restrictive terms - slave numbers were capped and all shipments were heavily taxed by the Spanish Crown - resulted in the South Sea Company never making substantial profit from the agreement. Nonetheless the Assiento played a major role in boosting and consolidating Britain's role in the Atlantic slave trade. The front free endpaper contains a detailed contemporary owner's note naming the binder of the volume - John Worrall - the price paid how it was constructed and how the book should be used: a very unusual survival. The notes state "This book Intituled State Pamphlets was bound by John Worrall for 2s. 2d. and containes 425 leaves". Little is recorded of John Worrall. He was apprenticed from 1674 to 1682 and was working at Warwick Court in 1709 and at Fleet Ditch in 1722. He died in 1726 all from Howe p. 103. The notes continue that the contents are consecutively numbered in manuscript and to use that numbering not the pagination of the original pamphlets. It specifies that "Remarks" are to be "entred in the proper cleane leaves as the observation thereof sees best" - blanks are bound between the tracts. It then notes that the manuscript table should be placed as the second leaf as is found. It refers the reader to another volume with more detailed instructions - it is evident the volume was held in a library which anticipated wide use. The nine other works bound in the volume - an inventory is available on request - date from 1688 to 1714 and are tracts on religion law and politics alongside the Treaty of Utrecht. It includes Jonathan Swift's first political work A Discourse of the Contests and Dissensions between the Nobles and Commons in Athens and Rome 1701 - this copy is the second issue with most of the first edition type corrected and reset. 10 works bound in 1 vol. quarto 206 x 156 mm. Contemporary calf red morocco label to style covers ruled in blind edges sprinkled red. 19th-century ownership signature "S. Louise Langdon" to verso of manuscript contents leaf. Joints and extremities restored slight staining to endpapers a little browned occasional trimming to pagination. Overall very good.
