1843000902London: Thomas Rodd 1843. 16pp disbound from a volume at some point t.e.g. Slightly browned one or two spots of foxing but generally clean. Wise notes that "In 1843 when advertising the present pamphlet for sale Rodd asserted that it was a facsimile reprint of an alleged original edition of which the author was said to have printed twenty copies in 1816. No example of this mysterious original has ever been unearthed . My own opinion is that no original ever existed . The motto 'We pity the plumage but forget the dying bird' was taken by Shelley from Paine's 'Rights of Man' 1817 Pt.I p. 24 'He Burke pities the plumage but forgets the dying bird'. This clearly denies any impression of the address dated 1816". The pamphlet decries the difference between the public concern for the death of the Princess and their indifference to the plight of the poorest in society plus ca change and also examines the execution of the leaders of the Pentrich Rising.

18010010067France. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1801. Ephemera. On offer is an excellent edition of the French Republic Legal Bulletin from the early days of the Republic. The manuscript is entitled BULLETIN DES LOIS DE LA REPUBLIC Legal Bulletin of the Republic and was published according to the new revolutionary calendar on 22 Frimaire of Year 10 November 22 1801. This manuscript details 19 separate laws that were passed by the government of France a 5 member committee known as the Directory in the bloody days following the French Revolution. They deal with matters such as the following: No 1087 Loi qui autorize un echange de batimens nationaux et communaux dans la ville de Blois Law which authorizes an exchange of national and communal buildings in the city of BloisNo 1094 Arret portant qu'il se tiendra dans la commune de Curel department de la Haute Marne trois foires .

Maret. Le ministre de la gurerre signe Alex Berthier. Certifie conforme: Le Ministre de la Justice AbrialTranslation: The First Consul signed Bonaparte By the First Consul: the Secretary of State signed Hugues B. Maret. The minister of war signed Alex Berthier. Certified true: The Minister of Justice AbrialThis manuscript is interesting as the 4 years of rule by the Directory were years of turmoil chaos and continual warfare with other countries. In late 1795 there was a Royalist uprising that threatened to overturn the Directory. To save itself it called upon Napoleon Bonaparte to provide a defence of the National Constitution. Bonaparte used canons to disperse the mobs killing an estimated 1400 people in the streets. He was promoted to General commanding the French armies. Four years later he returned to overthrow the Directory and have himself installed as First Consul The Revolution was over. Napoleon had a profound impact on the development of the modern world. No place is this more evident than his detailed and extensive legal code known in France as the Code civil des Français and more commonly simply as the Napoleonic Code. Across Europe and in North America Province of Quebec Canada the Code is foundation of the legal systems in place. And its influence spread throughout Central and South America via Spanish and Portuguese colonies and to other parts of the world where it heavily influenced the laws of many of the countries. For a historian this is a superb look into the details that had to be mastered in building a new Republic even in the midst of a prolonged and immense war between the France and a coalition of all of its principal enemies. For a legal scholar or historian this is a wonderful piece of legal history part of the most far-reaching and important legal revisions in modern history.

1809000867cSCOTLAND IRELAND ENGLAND DUBLIN EDINBURGH UK. Good. 1809. On offer is a remarkable original 1809 - 1833 handwritten manuscript book once used by the British Army's 94th Regiment of Foot. This book contains all manner of writings relevant to the running and goings-on of the Regiment by the Officers. The book is rather eclectic containing standing orders regimental orders different charts and forms for payroll and other reportage for example on the conditions of the Dublin Garrison orders of the day direct communications between officers public requests for leave advancement of funds settling of accounts etc. public apologies for poor behavior copies of letters sent to superiors up to and including the Duke of York Commander of all His Majesty's Forces and many other of Britain's peerage and there are even personal reminiscences notes of reference for departing soldiers plus much much more. Most of the entries of personal notes and those for Day Book purposes are signed by all manner of officers and peerage; Colonels Captains Lords and many reference specific orders by the Supreme Commander of the Army or even the King. Most fascinating are the 'Memorialist' messages of certain officers writing in the 3rd person touting themselves while seeking favor. 164 pp of history and methodology of this noted British Army regiment contained in this entirely handwritten book. Most of the entries are circa 1809 - 1827 but the oldest entry in the book is dated Edinburgh Castle 1833 and is addressed to what appears to be 'My Dear Beaver' while the correspondent signs in initials F.M. late of St. Lucia. He makes reference to Mr. Beaver as the clergyman that baptized his 3 children. Also of note: on the very last page written upside down are a quote a note and an invitation dated Fort Charlotte 1825 to His Excellency Major General Blackwell by Mr. and Mrs. Murray. Many clues for the astute researcher will assuredly unveil many of the writers in this fascinating piece of British militaria. Save for the front cover being nearly detached and some loosened endpapers this book would be G.

A substantial and uncommon early nineteenth-century antiquarian study of Babylon in which the Rev. Thomas Maurice uses the recent observations of Claudius James Rich to range across Biblical history ancient astronomy comparative religion and the monumental traditions of the ancient world. Complete with engraved title-vignette and four engraved plates including the supposed ruins of the Tower of Babel Persepolitan characters the Great Pagoda of Tanjore and a Mexican temple to the Sun and Moon. A characterful unsophisticated first edition in original boards rebacked and still very much the sort of copy collectors like: complete untrimmed and honest. By The Rev. Thomas Maurice A.M. Author Bio: Thomas Maurice 17541824 was a British cleric orientalist and antiquarian scholar best known for his Indian Antiquities and for his work at the British Museum where he served as assistant keeper / assistant librarian in the manuscripts department. His writings belong to the great age of late-Georgian comparative antiquarianism when Biblical chronology classical learning Asian studies and early archaeology were often brought into a single speculative framework. Synopsis: Work / historical context: Maurices Ruins of Babylon was published in response to the investigations of Claudius James Rich the East India Companys Resident at Baghdad whose examination of the site of Babylon is now widely regarded as a foundational moment in the modern study of Mesopotamian antiquity. Maurice takes Richs observations as the starting point for a broader inquiry into astronomy sacred and profane history ancient empire mythic memory and the architectural symbolism of stepped or pyramidal temple forms. The result is a distinctly early nineteenth-century synthesis: scholarly ambitious and often speculative but rich in historical curiosity and highly evocative of the periods encounter with the ancient Near East.
