AQ23666London: s.n. 1730 Single leaf. Docket title to verso. Stab-stitch holes to gutter margin. Old horizontal folds. A concise example commercial lobbying literature published in order to influence opinion within the House of Commons issued in opposition to a proposed bill for lay further duties on 'mixed or compound spirits' that they suggest would 'be a great loss and prejudice to the Maltsters in general especially to those persons making of malt in Surrey and Middlesex for the use of the brewers and private families only'. The short document implores the House to allow time should the bill pass for the maltsters of these two counties to dispose of their product that they might avoid ruination due to the likely decline in demand from distilleries whose production would no doubt decrease as a result of increased financial strain. Frustratingly this document as is common with lobbying literature of the era is undated. ESTC suggests 1730 as a date; but we could not locate the parliamentary proceedings if any to which it might relate. ESTC records a single copy in the British Isles Drapers' Company and none elsewhere. ESTC T190324. Dimensions 200 x 300 mm. [s.n.], [1730?] unknown

Lengthy volume by the former assistant attorney general for the Justice Department responsible for enforcing the Volstead Act from 1921-1929. "She worked closely with both the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and the Anti-Saloon League to build public support for the federal efforts. She also used liquor prosecutions to generate headlines. A number of times Willebrandt sat in the courtroom while one of her assistants pressed a case. Since women government lawyers were quite a novelty in the 1920s her actions generated press coverage. Similarly she focused much of her action on corruption cases that grew out of the violation of prohibition again headline grabbers. She did not seek press notice gratuitously but as a part of a Justice Department campaign to showcase prohibition enforcement activity and to make a case to the public for cleaner government. Willebrandt published first in syndicated newspaper column form and then as a book The Inside of Prohibition her vision for effective prohibition law enforcement. She called for clean government greater coordination between national and local officials and especially for common people to take responsibility for seeing the laws enforced" Badr Jehad and Mark Weir.

17734718Mexico City 1773. Very good. Manuscript broadside approximately 12 x 7.75 inches. Light edge wear minor foxing and staining. Accomplished in a highly legible script. An attractive manuscript transfer of title for a pulqueria in 18th-century Zempoala northeast of Mexico City and south of Pachuca. Zempoala was the heartland for production of the traditional Aztec fermented beverage though at the beginning of the 21st century there remained only one producer in the area. The present document transfers ownership of the Hacienda de Tecajete and its Pulqueria de Arbol from Antonio Garcia to his neighbor Diego Alvares Garcia. The hacienda was established east of Zempoala in the late 16th century and its grounds and buildings were developed over the next three hundred years until it was one of the country's largest producers of pulque during the Porfiriato and was owned by one of Diaz's generals. Although the estate is no longer a producer it is designated a Mexican heritage site for its history and architecture. The text here reads:<br /> <br /> "Mexico Año de 1773. Título de la Hazienda de Tecaxete y Pulqueria del Arbol que en Jurisdiccion de Zempuala la dicha Hazienda y en esta Ciudad la referida Pulqueria quedaron por Bienes de Dn. Antonio Garcia y se le remataron a Dn. Diego Albares Garcia vecino y del comercio de esta Ciudad."<br /> <br /> The document is illustrated by an anthropomorphized smiling sun and several manuscript flourishes at the foot of the sheet. Overall a very interesting manuscript broadside for a significant hacienda and pulqueria of 18th-century Mexico. unknown
17104779Puebla 1710. Good only. Broadside 17 x 12 inches. Chipping and closed tears at edges entering text area and causing small losses not affecting sense. One small section at left margin torn away but present affecting the initial words of several lines. Previously folded with interior separation and closed tear along central vertical fold. Wax remnants at left edge from an ill-conceived attempt at preservation. Contemporary ink signatures. Light toning and dust soiling. A very rare and early prohibition emanating from the Archdiocese of Puebla during the early-18th century concerning the production and sales of strong liquor in Mexico. In this broadside dated July 28 1710 Bishop Pedro Nogales Davila of Puebla notes the increase in disorderly behavior lawbreaking and criminal activity in the town that had coincided with the increase in production of alcoholic beverages such as Aguardiente Tepache and Guarapo. As such he adds the penalty of excommunication to the earthly laws against the production and sale of such drinks stating:<br /> <br /> "Mandamos que ninguna persona de qualquier estado calidad condicion ó preheminencia que sea no haga venda si consienta hacer ni vendar dichas bebidas de Aguardiente de la tierra; Tepache; Guarapo y Vingui que se favrican y confecionan de Miel ò zumo de cañas de mais cevada podrida y de los zumos mayormente acidos de las frutas. Y asi mismos prohibimos debajo de las mismas penas otras qualesquier bebidas que se hagan fabriquen y confecionen de simples è ingredientes fermejantes à los expressados y que puedan ocacionar los efectos referidos con pretexto motivo ni causa alguna con apercevimiento que declararemos y mandaremos declarar y publicar por incursos en dichas penas de Excomunion mayor y pecunaria à los que contrabinieren à ello ademas de proceder contra ellos por todo rigor de derecho."<br /> <br /> In need of some conservation but an extremely rare and early example of printed restrictions on alcohol production in provincial Colonial Mexico. Not in OCLC; Medina located one copy at the Archive of the Indies in Seville.<br /> Medina Puebla 265. unknown
