In near fine condition. An exceptional piece of history. The anti-slavery movement to abolish the slave trade became popular among the British public following barrister Lord Mansfield's judgement in the Somersett's Case which held that slavery was unsupported by the common law in England and Wales. In 1807 Parliament passed the Slave Trade Act of 1807 which outlawed the slave trade but not slavery itself. Over two decades later in 1833 the Slavery Abolition Act was passed which made the purchase or ownership of slaves illegal within the British Empire and provided monetary compensation for previous slave owners.

The French King had anciently a council of twelve great Peers 6 lay and 6 ecclesiastic. Long after the council ceased to function the ecclesiastics attended at Reims but the lay peerages had became vested in the crown. So the King appointed people to represent his lay peerages.

Stockdale 1778 i.e. 1788. 210 x210 x 133 mm. Modern boards. Fine apart from a little spotting.</p> <p> Reprint of a parliamentary report. Few illnesses of historic personages have been followed so closely and documented so well as the insanity of George iii king of Great Britain from 1760-1820. The king suffered five separate attacks of mental illness during his long reign the first in 1765 and the last in 1810; this final breakdown which ended only with the king's death resulted in the establishment of the Regency. Of the remaining four attacks the one that incapacitated the king between October 1788-March 1789 is the most interesting not only because of the political turmoil it generated over the regency question but also because of the stimulus it gave to the study of psychiatry. The question of the king's recovery was of such political importance that special committees from each house of Parliament were set up to interrogate the king's doctors about the progress and probable outcome of his illness. These examinations printed in the Parliamentary proceedings and republished in numerous cheap popular editions advanced the cause of psychiatry by educating the public about mental illness and by giving an aura of respectability to the study of insanity.

1827619L14London: John Murray 1827. First edition. Leather. Good Only. 11" by 9". None. A selection of letters from George III to two political figures regarding the proposition of Catholic emancipation and his Coronation Oath. He writes to British politician and barrister Lord Kenyon and the then Prime Minister William Pitt. The first edition of this uncommon work. These letters are associated with the political process during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century regarding the 'Catholic emancipation' or 'relief'. Following the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland there was a call to remove many of the restrictions on Roman Catholics introduced by the Act of Uniformity Test Acts and penal laws. During the Act of Union William Pitt the Younger the Prime Minister at the time promised emancipation to accompany the act. However no further steps were taken. This was due to King George III believing that any Catholic emancipation would violate his Coronation Oath. To this work there are correspondences between Pitt and George III regarding this matter. Pitt resigned from his position as Prime Minister when the King's opposition became known. To the main body of this work George writes to Kenyon regarding the standing of the Coronation Oath. He notes to the first letter that 'The following Queries on the present attempt to abolish all distinctions in Religion in Ireland with the intention of favouring the Roman Catholics in that Kingdom.' The King is enquiring to Kenyon as to whether emancipation would affect his Coronation Oath. With an introduction by Henry Phillpotts a well known opponent of Catholic emancipation. One of his well known works is 'A Letter to an English Layman on the Coronation Oath which was issued after this work. This copy is from the Bishop Phillpotts Library in Truro with a bookplate for the library to the front pastedown. The Philpotts library is still an important centre for theological studies. It was first opened in 1871 by Henry Phillpotts. Another prior owner's bookplate to front pastedown 'Henricus Exoniensis'. There are six letters between Kenyon and George III to this volume and five letters between Pitt and the King. With a facsimile letter by George III as the frontispiece.
