1714AQ15134London: Printed and Sold by J. Roberts 1714. 21pp 1. Without half-title. Recent red half-morocco red cloth boards lettered in gilt T.E.G. A trifle rubbed and marked. Marbled endpapers internally clean and crisp. The sole edition of an anonymous elegiac satirical epitaph upon army officer and politician John 1st Duke of Marlborough who contrary to the title survived until 1722 and indeed would certainly not have been interred at Antwerp given the allied offensive against the city during the recently concluded War of Spanish Succession. The prefatory remarks addressed to the publisher are signed by Thomas Johnson presumably the pseudonym of the unknown author. In those same remarks our author claims membership of the apparently fictional Marlborough Club who desired that he carry out this translation so that 'our own People may see the just Esteem which Foreigners have for the Memory of that Great MAN' a highly ironic proclamation that informs the intention of the epitaph as a whole.

17920010124Good with no dust jacket. 1792. Ephemera. On offer is a superb document drawn on September 22 1792 the very first official day of the French Republic République française founded following the French Revolution. In the aftermath of the Revolution of 1789 and the abolition of the monarchy the First Republic of France was established on September 22 of 1792. The National Convention was made up of groups representing differing political outlooks. At their first meeting the Convention decided to try King Louis XVI for treason based on his attempt to flee the country the previous year. They later found him guilty and executed him on January 21 1793. September 22 1792 was also established as the beginning date of the new Revolutionary Calendar. This document is a record of some of the minutes of that first convention and are dated September 22nd the first day of the new government. It is titled: Extract Du Proces-Verbal De La Convention National Relatif au renouvellement des Corps administrifs municipaux et judicairesTranslation: Extract From The Minutes Of The National Convention Relative to the renewal of the administrative municipal and judicial bodiesIt opens with a recording of these motions: Un membre fait la motion que toutes les administrations et tribunaux soient renouveles. Un autre demande que les operations faites a cet egard par les corps electoraux soient confirmes. Plusiers autres membres insistent pour que toutes les administations soient renouvelees et qu'il soit fait au repport prochain sur l'existance et laformation des tribunauxTranslation: A member makes the motion that all the administrations and courts be renewed. Another asks that the operations made in this respect by the electoral bodies be confirmed. Several other members insist that all the administrations be renewed and that the existence and formation of the courts be reported soon. The next few pages go on to detain other proposals and requests generally concerning legal matters. The document bears the printed signature of Monge and Garat. Gaspard Monge was a Minister of State serving as Minister of the Navy and Colonies. Interestingly Monge was a noted matheematician and founder of Differential Geometry. Garat was Dominique Joseph Garat Minister of the Interior. These minutes were ordered printed and distributed throughout France and this copy was sent to the City of Nancy in the north east of France. For a historian or a collector of material from the earliest days of the French Revolution this is a superb item documenting the earliest efforts of the French people to establish a republican government separate from the monarchy and the feudal system. The document measures 9.0 inches by 7.0 inches and is folded to make 4 pages. The printed text occupies all 4 pages and it bears not only a printed signature but also a fairly solid hand signature. When it was printed the paper was not placed squarely on the press and therefore the text is not aligned perfectly horizontal. The page bears the initial stamp of the new government displaying the Phrygian cap or liberty cap that was adopted as a symbol of the revolution. The paper is in good condition with some slight staining from dampness and age.; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 4 pages; Signed by Author .

17920010071France. Good with no dust jacket. 1792. Ephemera. On offer is a superb copy of the laws relating to the French national debt and the seizure of property of those French nobles who fled France to escape the guillotine. At the outset of the French Revolution Frances national finances were in total disarray. The country had virtually bankrupted itself in the Seven Years War with Britain and with its participation in the American Revolution. Moreover the French Royalty and nobility were a study in corruption and excess. Taxation only applied to the peasants. Making matters worse levying taxes at a local level was controlled not by the French government but by local boards who were very reluctant to impose more taxes on their already deeply-burdened local communities. It had to boil over at some point and that point came in 1789 with a full national revolution. The new republic still had the same financial mess on its hands. This document describes part of the efforts to deal with that mess. The first 8 pages deal with the financial levies that were imposed on local regions. This was an entirely new concept and it may have gone nowhere except for the looming shadow of the guillotine. However many regions appealed their levies and sought relief: Repartition des decharges accordees a titre de degrevementSequestre des biens des EmigresL'Assmblee Nationale ayant entendu le rapport du son comite de l'ordinaire des financees sur les petitions qui lui ont eye adressees par plusieurs departments afin d'obtenir un degrevement sur leur part dans les contributions des anees 1791 et 1792 ainsi que les trois lectures du projet de decret dans ses seances des 1re et 9 aout et 12 septembre et decrete qu'elle etoit en etat de deliberer definitivementTranslation: Breakdown of discharges granted as a rebateThe seizure of the property of the EmigrantsThe National Assembly having heard the report of its ordinary committee of finances on the petitions which were addressed to it by several departments in order to obtain a relief on their share in the contributions of the years 1791 and 1792 as well as the three readings of the draft of decree in its sessions of the 1st and 9th of August and 12th of September and decrees that it was in a position to deliberate definitively.The Law then goes on to address various issues raised and proposals to deal with them. Of interest is a chart inserted at what would normally be the end of the legal document that details the breakdown of discharges granted to each of the 17 Departments of France. Following the chart are pages 7 & 8 a far more sinister law relating to the properties and belongings of those French nobility and wealthy bourgeoisie who fled France at the outset of the Revolution known to history as Emigres. As the country spiraled downward into chaos and violence thousands fled France. Many went to neighbouring European countries and to Great Britain. They were definitely seen as a threat to the Revolutionary government. Fearful of these monarchists outside the country and with an all-but-destitute public treasury the leader of the Revolution hit upon the idea of seizing the property of all who had fled. They were offered the opportunity to return and failing that would lose all of their property and be executed if they ever returned. These 2 pages speak directly to that: Sequestre des biens des Emigres.La loi du 8 avril dernier relative aux sequestre des biens des emigres s'applique sauf les exceptions y portees a tous Francois sortis du royaume soit a l'epoque de la publication du decret du 9 fevrier precedent soit depuis ou qui viendroient par la fuite a emigrer. Translation: The seizure of the property of the Emigrants.The law of last April 8 relative to the sequestration of the property of emigrants applies except for the exceptions contained therein to all French citizens who left the kingdom either at the time of the publication of the decree of the preceding February 9 or since or who would emigrate by flight. The document is signed in print by Monge and Danton. Monge was Gaspard Monge a noted mathematician and founder of differential geometry. He was Minister of Marine. He later was heavily involved in new developments in French education and served in Napoleons administration. Danton was Georges Danton a leading figure of the Revolution. He died on the guillotine. For a historian this is a superb document. It is a direct connection to the chaos of the Revolution and the dark underside of popular revolutions. This is a 10-page document. It measures 9.0 inches by 8.5 inches and is 10 pages in length. The pages are bound together with thread. There is a large stain on the top left of the front page but it does not interfere with the legibility of the text. There is slight staining around the edges die to age. The document is printed and is very legible. Interestingly there is a chart inserted into the document between pages 6 and 7. It too is numbered Page 6. It is a single-sided chart. ; 9"x8.5"; 10 pages; Signed by All Authors .
