19779St James 30 July 1796. 2 pages 9 x 7 inches plus integral address leaf gilt edges in fine fresh and attractive condition bearing two seals in red wax with ends of red silk ties SIGNED BY A RELUCTANT GEORGE III ON BEHALF OF HIS FORMER MINISTER TO THE UNITED STATES. The bearer of this letter George Hammond had returned to England after serving as the first British Minister to the United States of America in 1795. He was then promoted by George Grenville the Foreign Secretary to act as his senior Under-Secretary with George Canning serving as the second. Meanwhile faced with Napoleon's victories in Italy and the Rhineland Pitt's First Coalition was facing collapse. Grenville keen on an alliance with Prussia proposed that her support could be ensured by giving her a free hand in annexing either of the Belgic provinces or extensive domains in Germany; a plan that was turned down by George III with the cutting observation that 'Italian politics are too complicated for my understanding'. Nevertheless as Ward puts it the British Cabinet was in its desperation 'prepared to act on the degrading principle of gaining the help of a powerful State by conniving at its annexation of a week neighbour' Cambridge History of British Foreign Policy ii p. 267. Hammond as per our letter was therefore despatched to Berlin with George III's reluctant agreement. But he had no luck. For when he got to Berlin he discovered that the King was away and nothing could be done in his absence. So he let the matter drop. unknown

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'.

Watson has an interesting history. At the age of 14 and in the employ of his uncle on one of his merchant ships whilst swimming in Havana harbour was attacked by a shark and lost his right leg This incident prompted Watson in 1778 to commission John Singleton Copley to paint this dramatic scene known as "Watson and the Shark" for which see our illustration which when exhibited at the Royal Academy caused a sensation. It now hangs in the National Gallery of Art Washington D.C.Watson was a member of the original committee of the Corporation of Lloyd's of London; he was elected as an Alderman of the City of London and served as M.P. for the City of London.

1761319882Great Britain 1761. 2pp. plus integral blank. Docketed on verso "King's Warrant / Province of Massachusetts / Bay £60634 in part / of £200000 Granted for / the North American / Provinces." Signed by George III at the head of the first page countersigned on the second page by William Wildman Barrington James Oswald and Gilbert Elliot. Folio 14 1/4 x 9 1/2 inches. Usual folds. 2pp. plus integral blank. Docketed on verso "King's Warrant / Province of Massachusetts / Bay £60634 in part / of £200000 Granted for / the North American / Provinces." Signed by George III at the head of the first page countersigned on the second page by William Wildman Barrington James Oswald and Gilbert Elliot. Folio 14 1/4 x 9 1/2 inches. Towards the end of the French and Indian War William Pitt started a specie grant program to reward colonies for raising troops thus putting the colonies in competition with each other for a share of an annual 200000 pounds. With specie scarce in the colonies the colonial assemblies were thus incentivized to raise troops to fight against the French. The present document authorizes Henry Fox to make payment to Massachusetts via their colonial agent William Bollan for their share of the annual grant. Although successful the policy was abandoned in favor of direct taxation after 1762 leading to the Sugar Act and most notably the Stamp Act. <br /> <br /> This undated document -- the space for the date being left blank suggesting it to possibly be a draft -- is countersigned by William Wildman Barrington Chancellor of the Exchequer 21 March 1761 to 8 May 1762; Sir Gilbert Elliot third Baron Minto Lord of the Treasury 1761-62 and James Oswald Commissioner of the Treasury 1759-63. The date would therefore appear to be 1761 or early in 1762.<br /> <br /> George III documents relating to North America from the early years of his reign are particularly scarce. unknown
