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. Rare collection of three British Acts related to the regulation and abolition of the British slave trade including: An Act for better regulating the Manner of carrying Slaves in British Vessels from the Coast of Africa 12th July 1799; An Act for regulating.the shipping and carrying of Slaves in British Vessels from the Coast of Africa 28th June 1798; and An Act to Amend and consolidate the Laws relating to the Abolition of the Slave Trade 24th June 1824. Quarto decorative royal emblematic headpieces schedules of muster roles and seizures.

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.

560232 hand-coloured woodcuts copied from the illustrations in The Universal Magazine for October and November 1761 the first taken as the Archbishop of Canterbury places the Crown on the King's head is lettered with explanations of the crowded scene including at h 'The Dukes of Normandie and Acquitain and other great officers' the second similarly explained shows the King's Champion flanked by the Earl Marshal and Lord High Constable riding up the centre between the long tables watched by the diners and the others present in the galleries printed within a 'Greek Key' border both referring to 22nd September 1761 laid down on two separate album leaves 10" x 7¾" with other items on the versos the two prints no date circa edges worn and border trimmed in places without loss to text or image The original articles of 1761 explain the role at the Dinner of the King's Champion who challenged any one to assert that George III was not their lawful sovereign and the 'Dukes of Normandy and Aquitaine' at the Coronation. 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. Henry II liked this idea which was last used in 1761 given that in 1801 Great Britain renounced all claims to France and the use of the lilies on her coat of arms. On the versos are 1 a pleasing engraving of Bouverie Hall Chart next Sutton Valence Kent and 2 a number of cuttings including temperance verses and the monument to Captain Charles Colby of the 98th Dragoons killed by a tiger at 'Rawal Pinde' 27th March 1852. unknown
18092120802<i>Folio 4pp. with docket on fourth page "George Harrison Gent. Not stamped. Mr. Solicitor declines at present signing the Bill for this patent. S.G. Wyatt"; </i><i>folded and unbound as issued in very good state of preservation.</i><br /><br />A fascinating document which seems however not after all to have ended in a grant for a patent. George Harrison claims that "he is in possession of an invention communicated to him by an ingenious individual of a new method or methods of conveying information from one apartment of a house to another by means of an apparatus which he calls a "Domestic Telegraph" which invention he conceives will be of great public utility. That the same is entirely new and has never been practised or used in this country by any other person or persons to the best of his knowledge & belief". George Harrison not only does not disclose the name of the inventor he also petitions for the patent to be in his own name. No such patent in Harrison's name is included in Woodcroft's definitive Alphabetical Index. It is possibly that Harrison was trying to be a bit too clever as the award of a patent was conditional on Harrison producing "a particular description of the nature of the said invention and in what manner the same is to be performed".<br /><br />George III's signature here seems in some way to illustrate both his mental illness and his approaching blindness. Little more than a year after signing this document he became dangerously ill and finally accepted the need for the 1811 Regency Act. In 1809 Lord Liverpool was Home Secretary in the Duke of Portland's government.

AQ30653s.i.: s.n. 1788 Manuscript on paper. Seven joined vellum membranes. A trifle creased and discoloured. Inscribed at foot: 'Examined by Thomas Lowley Deputy Clerk of the Pipe 10 July 1811'. An examined copy of a roll of foreign accounts dealing at a largely superficial level with the financing of troops stationed in Gibraltar Ireland North America the West and East Indies and associated plantations. Some specific sums are recorded such as the receipt of £300 18s 2d for the sale by public auction in Quebec of the brig Maria. Charges and receipts amounted to £3377122 0s 11 1/2d and payments and allowances to £1772059 19s 11d which after further allowances was reduced to a debt of £423277 2s 2 3/4d. Perhaps the most interesting inclusion is the list of deputy-paymasters and their stations and the numerous officials and the salaries which they received. The office of Paymaster of the Forces was established in 1661. By the eighteenth century it had become a political prize and potentially one of the most lucrative offices one could obtain during a parliamentary career offering a salary of £4000. At the time this roll was produced the office was jointly held by future Prime Minster William Wyndham Grenville Baron Grenville 1759-1834 and naval officer and politician Constantine John Phipps 1744-1792. .
