1765AQ21341A Paris: De l'Imprimerie de Guilleaume Desprez 1765. 92pp. Uncut stitched as issued. Edges a trifle dusty else clean and crisp. A printing of extracts from the minutes of the Assembly of the French clergy in 1765 a meeting most notable for reiterating the episcopacy's defence of it's exemption from taxation; a statement that from a Jansenist perspective amounted to a revocation of the Declaration of 1682 which had codified the principles of Gallicanism. The tensions bolstered by this corruption of Gallicanist fundamentals together with increased opposition to monarchical absolutism would pave the road to the Revolution - an ultimately the nationalisation of all ecclesiastical property. . 8vo.

Caption titles as issued. 1-51; 1-48; 1-52; 1-21; 1-2; 1-58pp. Expertly bound to style in full period calf spine with raised bands ruled in blind morocco lettering piece.<br/> <br/>A remarkable run of early Virginia imprints.<br/> <br/>An extraordinary run of the earliest Virginia imprints the most extensive group of material to come on the market in perhaps a century. This remarkable volume contains six Assembly session laws published in Williamsburg between 1734 and 1742 from the press of Virginia's first printer William Parks. The beginnings of printing in Virginia can be traced in a sense to 1682 when William Nuthead went to Jamestown with a press to print the acts of the Assembly; Governor Thomas Culpeper tossed him out and Nuthead left without issuing a single publication. Culpeper's successor Francis Howard banned printing entirely and it was fifty years before another attempt was made. In February 1728 William Parks the official printer to the Maryland Assembly since 1726 seeking to expand his business petitioned the Virginia Assembly for a similar position. Receiving the commission Parks opened an office in Williamsburg in 1730. That year he published what is generally credited as Virginia's first imprint: John Markland's Typographia: an ode to printing a 15pp. paean to Sir William Gooch the governor who had approved the invitation to Parks. This survives in a single copy at the John Carter Brown Library. Indeed the handful of early Virginia imprints prior to 1735 that are not laws only survive in unique copies. Parks moved to Williamsburg himself in 1731 although he would continue to maintain his Annapolis press until 1737. In 1733 he published the first locally printed collection of Virginia laws. The present imprints follow directly after that volume with new legislation issued over the next decade. He was certainly with Benjamin Franklin the most significant and enterprising printer in the American colonies south of Boston in the first half of the 18th century prior to his death in 1750. During this time Parks sometimes quarreled with the Virginia House of Burgesses over fees and articles in his newspaper but always retained the lucrative contract for printing the legislative materials of the colony. The present collection of session laws contains the fourth and final session of the 1727-1734 Assembly all four sessions of the 1735-1740 Assembly and the first session of the 1742-1747 Assembly. The first of the above is significant as it was "the first time the public and private acts of a session were printed in full" Swem the previous session laws including the titles of the private acts only. The acts within these sessions includes those addressing tobacco duties on slaves judicial matters regulating liquor for the encouragement of the College of William and Mary dividing counties relating to Native Americans the raising of the militia for an expedition against the Spanish among other matters. Of particular note is an act within the final session which establishes the town of Richmond on the falls of the James River. All early Virginia imprints are of great rarity. The legislative material was probably printed in editions of several hundred copies at the most. Berg locates eight to ten copies of each of the imprints listed here; in virtually all cases these copies have been held since before the First World War and only a few individual imprints can be traced in sale records. The collection is comprised of: 1 Virginia General Assembly of 1727-1734 fourth session Anno Regni Georgii II . At a General Assembly begun and held at Williamsburg the First Day of February in the First Year of the Reign of our Sovereign Lord George II . to the Twenty Second Day of August 1734.

Edges slightly trimmed; a touch of mild foxing else a fine crisp copy. Housed in linen clamshell box with gilt paper label at spine and previous owner's dediction pasted to inside cover.<br /> <br /> The first known published appearance of Jewish support for the newly elected president of the United States George Washington. One week after Washinton's inauguration Levi Sheftall on behalf of the newly reorganized Savannah Hebrew Congregation wrote him an elegant and effusive letter of congratulation. This letter along with Washington's reply was published for the first time by the United States Gazette:<br /> <br /> "Sir We have long been anxious of congratulating you on your appointment. and of testifying our unbounded confidence in your integrity and unblemished virtue. Your unexampled liberality and extensive philanthropy have dispelled that cloud of bigotry and superstition which has long as a veil shaded religion -- unrivetted the fetters of enthusiasm -- enfranchised us with all the privileges and immunities of free citizens and initiated us into the grand mass of legislative mechanism. May the great Author of worlds grant you all happiness and a continuance of guardianship to that freedom which under the auspices of heaven your magnanimity and wisdom have given these States."<br /> <br /> Washington's reply is undated but addressed "To the Hebrew Congregation of the City of Savannah." After accepting their congratulations he extends this hope: "May the same wonder-working Deity who long since delivering the Hebrews from their Egyptian Oppressors planted them in the promised land -- whose providential agency has lately been conspicuous in established these United States as an independent nation -- still continue to water them with the dews of Heaven and to make the inhabitants of every denomination participate in the temporal and spiritual blessings of that people whose God is Jehovah.
