1812166835London: Rymer & Son 1812. Mapping the Age of Revolutions This visually arresting and minutely detailed chronology presents two concentric spirals radiating from a central portrait of George III offering a spectacular timeline of a half-century of conflict embellished with portraits of the king Pitt Fox Nelson and Wellington. The inner delineates the "various administrations formed during his reign" while the outer charts major events including the conclusion of the Seven Years War the American Revolution the Napoleonic Wars campaigns in South Asia and the opening salvoes of the War of 1812. The densely printed text also includes relevant statistical information particularly as relates to the major campaigns: numbers of troops under arms sailors at sea prisoners taken cost of supplies but also the funded national debt annual expenditure and ticking steadily throughout the price of a peck loaf. In each corner is a portrait of a hero of the period: "In an age abounding with so many Warriors & Senators whose equals the page of History can scarcely produce it is difficult to select the most suitable characters to adorn this design or those who have been most active in the great Events of our own times but none seem to have diffused the rays of glory with greater splendour round the nation than Nelson and Wellington. Fame will transmit to distant posterity the vigorous eloquence of Fox and Pitt & exhibit them as patterns worthy their imitation. The portraits are esteemed striking likenesses". Produced by the Edinburgh-born engraver and reform-leaning Whig Malcolm Rymer 1775-1835 the timing of the publication produced close on the removal of all restrictions on the powers of the Prince Regent and the catastrophist litany of disorder in 1812 - "Alarming Riots in Nottinghamshire Lancashire and Yorkshire" the assassination of Spencer Percival "The Old Administration continues with a few trivial changes" - suggests critical intent. Copper engraving printed on vivid yellow silk "handkerchief" 840 x 860 mm. Elaborate decorative frame comprised of a narrow chequered band enclosing a wide scrolled foliate border set with the Royal Arms centrally top and bottom and the Imperial State Crown with crossed rose and thistle with banderolle reading"dieu et mon droit" placed at the sides. Housed in grey archival box. Somewhat worn overall thinned and slightly faded and with some minor marginal loss top and bottom and a few splits but overall complete and remains striking good or better.

179992483London: Printed by George Eyre and Andrew Strahan 1799-1824.

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.

#[60986]British Empire d.d. 1 August 1817. Vellum charter good condition. 60x45 cm. Manuscript text and calligraphy with 4 coloured coats of arms three of the King and the officials and one of Hopton. Original 'signatures' written names and attached wax seals of both officials in decorated wooden spane casings. Encased in a made to fit oblong wooden case with metal closing mechanism and clothed with red linen decorated in gold with GR initials and crowns. This comes with an original letter from George W. Marshall Rouge Croix from the College of Arms dated 1900 and the Royal licence signed by Queen Victoria adressed to Lieutenant-Colonel Hopton for a change of name and arms from John Dutton Hunt to Hopton. This charter explains that William Hopton heretofore William Parsons only surviving son of John Parsons MP of Kemerton Court county Gloucester deceased by Deborah his wife who was the daughter of Richard Hopton of Canon Frome in Hereford and the aunt of Richard Cope Hopton also deceased took the name of Hopton by Royal decree of 11 March 1817 in order to inherit the Canon Frome estate. It also relates to the impressive family history dating several centuries back. The Hoptons had lived at Canon Frome for several generations the succession often being through the female line. The Canon Frome estate was one of the largest in the county and he was a typical squarson'. William Parsons Hopton married twice first to Mary Graves and second to Anna Poole and his eldest grandson by the second marriage Edward married his cousin Clare Ellen Trafford. A soldier who served in the Crimea Indian Mutiny and the Kaffir and Zulu Wars Edward became a General and was knighted in 1900. He and his son Edward after him were Trustees of the Michaelchurch Estate and Eliza Rawson bought them a house at Cagebrook in the parish of Eaton Bishop. It seems that Canon Frome Court is now inhabitated by a rural living community of adults and children. Kemerton Court apparently the ancestral home of the Parsons family still exists and in the village of Kemerton there is a two storey tower still known as "Parsons folly". Unusual is the grant of a crest "out of a Ducal Coronet" "under the peculiar circumstances and the antiquity of the family" but "may not be made a precedent." H96 hardcover
