17912110Edinburgh: Printed in the year 1791. 4to pp. 38. Stitched as issued with original marbled paper covers with no backstrip. Some creasing to corners and edges a few short tears to edges of wrappers. A scarce privately printed pamphlet providing arguments from history and use that the Prince of Wales later George IV held the titles of Duke of Rothesay Earl of Carrick etc. in the Peerage of Scotland. It evidently answers a charge that these had lapsed - perhaps stemming from the regency crisis of 1789 combined with the preference for Prince of Wales as the heir apparent’s title following the Union or else perhaps the dispute goes all the way back to the absence of a holder of the titles between 1751 the death of Frederick Louis and 1762 the birth of the future George IV.

171614942Edinburgh; Printed by James Watson One of His Majesty's Printers 1716. 1716. Two imprints in two volumes the Bible divided across both volumes and signed continuously the Psalms bound to end of volume two and signed independently. Duodecimo n. p. sig. A-Y12 Z1-2; Z3-12 2A-2S12 2T10 A-C12. The New Testament has a letterpress title-page. This copy lacks the two engraved title-pages to the Old and New Testaments reported by some institutional cataloguers otherwise complete. We locate both one volume and two volume copies in institutional libraries and copies with and without the Psalms. Both volumes bound in near-uniform black full morocco Scottish herringbone bindings. Volume one on four raised bands star and thistle ornaments within triple fillets to compartments; central herringbone panel in star thistle and wheel design within fleur-de-lis and pyramid roll borders to boards; pyramid rolls to turn-ins; marbled end-papers; all edges gilt; olive-green silk place-marker mounted to headband. Volume two on four raised bands; gilt floral tooling within triple fillets to compartments; thistle star and wheel herringbone panel surrounded by thistles stars and fleur-de-lis within fillet and pyramid roll border; floral rolls to board edges and turn-ins; marbled end-papers. Elaborate calligraphic bookplate in black green and red ink of Sarah McKie 'written at Edinburgh the XIIIth August 1735' to front free end-paper of volume one; pencil ownership inscription of one 'J. S. Muir 1888' to verso. Neat ownership inscription of one 'Stewart' dated December 5 1721 to front free end-paper of volume two. Later pencil annotation to foot of volume one T8v. Corners bumped slight rubbing to joints of raised bands on volume one shelf-wear to edges of boards but bindings otherwise bright neat and very solid. A few spots of occasional toning to contents of both volumes text-blocks very occasionally frayed and nicked to edges; one end-leaf of volume one repaired sympathetically with like paper; slight loss to corner of C1 affecting catchword only loss to corner of A2 A5 of Psalms affecting text; spots of ink to N1 of Bible ink stains to title-page B1v B2r of Psalms; 2R gathering of Bible and B C gatherings of Psalms cut close to fore-edge affecting text. Contents used but serviceable bindings both well-preserved examples. A curious pair of volumes bound in very similar herringbone style perhaps even from the same workshop but with no tools in common. The division of the volumes midway through the Psalms at Z2 is such an unusual choice which appears to differ from institutional copies in two volumes that this bookseller concludes they must be intended as a pair. Herringbone bindings were the dominant form of decorative binding in early eighteenth-century Scotland evolving from late-seventeenth century panel bindings. The thistle and pyramid tools on display here are peculiarly Scottish features. An excellent example of fine Scottish binding of the early eighteenth-century. ESTC T91732; T91831.

Gilt ruled red leather spine label. Marbled boards. New end pages. Fine binding and cover. Pages lightly tanned. <br><br> Lord Provost of Edinburgh in 1745 Archibald Stewart tried to organize an effective defense of Edinburgh against Prince Charles Edward who attempted to retake the English and Scottish crowns in the Jacobite Uprising in 1745. He felt it treason to raise troop without the King's warrant and sent for the King's Sanction. This request was granted and received 8 days prior Prince Charles entered Edinburgh. However though troops were raised Charles entered the city without much difficultly after negotiations failed. <br> Stewart was afterwards arrested and taken before the Privy Council in London on 7 Dec. The consent of the House of Commons to his detention having been obtained on 10 Dec. he was imprisoned in the Tower from 13 Dec. 1745 till 23 Jan. 1747 when he was released on bail. Charged with neglect of duty and misbehavior in the execution of his office he was found not guilty on 2 Nov. 1747 after a protracted trial in Edinburgh. Though Stewart was marked by the Whigs as a traitor among some of his supporters was David Hume who wrote a pamphlet in 1748 called The True Account of the Behaviour and Conduct of the Archibald Stewart Esq.<br> It was found later that what allowed Prince Charles to overtake the city with virtually no opposition was that the 2nd deputation upon returning from another failed negotiation was followed by Donald Cameron of Lochiel with half the Prince's army and upon the gate being lifted to allow them to enter Lochiel seized the opportunity and stormed the gate taking the city bloodlessly.
