171531816Drumfries: Printed by Robert Rae. 1715. 4to. 4 27. 1 blank pp. Disbound lightly toned and dusted portions of several lower blank margins spotted. Very Good.<br/><br/> Observing "That by Disputes about Religion Contentions only are inflamed" the author seeks a solution to this "thornie" issue. "That both Church and State may enjoy each their own Priviledges is the design of this Essay." The University of Glasgow's entry on OCLC names John Pollock as the author. <br/> England's established Church causes the author to advocate a greater involvement of civil government in religious matters than prevails in the United States. But otherwise his prescription is very much like modern American conceptions of religious liberty: the Church is in charge of spiritual matters and gives "all due Respect and Obedience to the Civil Magistrate; whatever with Scripture warrant they can allow him will not be wanting." The Magistrate provides the environment for the free exercise of worship. "Even Heathen Magistrates may and ought to aid and help the Church. Whence it is that by God's Command Prayers are to be made for them." Differences of religious opinion do not justify disobedience to the civil ruler.<br/>OCLC 181867601 1- U Glasgow as of February 2015.

Title page torn without loss foxing. First edition. 28 xix 280 118pp. Folding tables. Uncut. 8vo. The establishment of the Second Bank of the United States in 1816 prompted immediate distrust of the institution with opponents charging it as constitutionally illegitimate and a direct threat to Jeffersonian agrarianism. With more local banks than any other state Maryland faced an unprecedented demand on specie from out-of-state banks and thus passed a bill calling for a tax on bank notes not issued by banks chartered within the state. The only such bank was the Baltimore branch of the Bank of the U.S. The cashier of the Baltimore Bank of the U.S. refused to pay the tax and the ensuing lawsuit would eventually make its way to the Supreme Court leading to the monumental decision in McCulloh v Maryland which held that the State could not tax a branch of the United States Bank and affirmed federal powers not delineated within the Constitution.<br/><br/>Anti-banking prosecutors in Maryland however did not take the defeat in the Supreme Court lightly. Instead they indicted McCulloh and the President of the Baltimore bank of the U.S. James A. Buchanan 1768-1840; not to be confused with the U.S. President on conspiracy charges relating to 3 million dollars in loans that Buchanan and McColloh had extended to themselves and friends without proper collateral and without informing the directors of the parent Bank of the U.S.<br/><br/>This scarce work comprises the reports indictments and evidence presented on the banking conspiracy cases brought against Buchanan and McCulloh published by the Directors of the Bank of the U.S. as part of their attempt to recuperate losses and address public .<br/><br/>Scarce with only a single example in the auction records in the last quarter century.
