From the Middle Ages in England and France it was believed that scrofula or "the King's Evil" could be cured by the touch of royalty; ceremonies were held in which the King would touch and "heal" hundreds of afflicted subjects. <br/>By the late 1400s it was believed that one could also be cured by touching a type of coin called an angel which had been touched by the monarch. After angels ceased to be minted in the 1620s the same effect was said to be achieved by touching a gold medallion embossed much like the old coin.<br/>Some monarchs touched many people. King Henry IV of France touched up to 1500 at one time. The last English monarch to carry out this practice was Queen Anne who died in 1714 but it continued in France. Louis XV touched more than 2000 scrofula sufferers and the last French monarch to do this was Charles X in 1825 Science Museum London. Cf. F Barlow "The King's Evil"Â The English Historical Review 95/374 January 1980 pp 3-27; M BlochThe Royal Touch: Sacred Monarchy and Scrofula in England and France London: Routledge & Kegan Paul 1973.<br/>The present broadside setting the dates for such ceremonies is rare on the market: no copies are listed for sale and none have appeared at auction. It also is signed in type by Lord Chief Justice George Jeffryes sic "The Hanging Judge" amongst others.<br/>An interesting manuscript note in a contemporary hand at the lower margin with significant loss calls the attention of "All Parsons Vicars and Curates" to the regulations set forth in the broadside.

An elegant Jacobean reissue of the Latin Book of Common Prayer: a compact service-book that carries the English Reformation into the language of scholarship. First issued in 1560 for use in colleges schools and universities the Liber offered an authorised Latin form of worship for learned institutions while remaining firmly within the post-Reformation settlement of the Church of England. In this 1604 John Norton reissue it survives as both devotional manual and academic artefact: a book meant to be handled consulted and used. By Church of England Author Bio: The Church of Englands Liber precum publicarum is the authorised Latin version of the reformed prayer book first issued in Elizabeth Is reign for use especially in scholastic settings. Modern catalogues and recent scholarship describe it as a revised Latin translation associated with Walter Haddon the Tudor humanist and civil lawyer long linked with the text. Synopsis: A Latin Book of Common Prayer with the Psalter appended designed for use where Latin remained the working language of devotion and learning. The work stands at the intersection of liturgy pedagogy and confessional statecraft: not a survival of the medieval rite but a consciously Protestant service-book recast in classical dress. The 1604 Norton issue continues the octavo form seen in the 1574 edition and later reissues.

1692D4272Amsterdam: n.p. Chez Pierre Brunel 1692. First Edition in French. Hardcover. Very Good. 4 232 pp. Title in red and black with etched royal cypher. 120 copper engraved commemorative medals by Adriaen Schoonebeeck. Added engraved title page signed by Romeyn de Hooghe dated 1691. 12 full-page etchings signed by de Hooghe that depict festival constructions for Williams entry into The Hague in 1691 and also portraits of William and Mary among other emblems. Engraved headpiece and initial decoration on dedication leaf signed by Schoonebeck followed by full-page engraved leaf honoring Chevalier with depictions of Atlas Aristotle and other muses. Full contemporary vellum blind-stamped with central lozenge design; very slight foxing or staining engravings fresh; covers slightly bowed. Initialled bookplate P.M.G to front pastedown. First Edition in French of this biography of William III of England extensively illustrated to show important events in the monarchs life. This work was privately printed for Nicolas Chevalier who was a hobbyist and coin collector. A large proportion of Dutch print-making at the end of the 17th century focused on William III. An almost categorical personality cult surrounded the stadtholder-king. Among the print-makers Romeyn de Hooghe 1645-1708 was an important and prolific late Dutch Baroque engraver and caricaturist. He is best known for his political caricatures of Louis XIV and propagandistic prints supporting William of Orange. De Hooghes 12 etchings of triumphal arches for this work are adaptations of plates in the works by Bidloo and Tronchin de Breuil published in 1691 and 1692. Adriaen Schoonebeek c. 1657- 1705 is often mentioned because of his appearance as witness for the prosecution in a court case against de Hooghe that formed the climax of a slanderous exchange of pamphets between Orangists and members of the Amsterdam faction in 1690. These animosities did not prevent re- employment of both engravers in executing plates for this Nicolas Chevaliers 1692 illustrated volume on numismatics and the life of King William. Rare.

1680ABC_46098Cologne recté: Amsterdam 1680. 4to. Pierre Marteau" 19th-century brown paper wrappers. With the woodcut English royal arms on the title-page. 8 pp. Extremely rare pamphlet with the text - in French - of the Anglo-Dutch defensive alliance of 3 March 1678. In May 1672 French forces had invaded the Dutch Republic and initially seemed to have achieved an overwhelming victory the so-called Rampjaar 1672. England supported France in what became the Second Anglo-Dutch maritime war 1672-1674. By late July 1672 however the Dutch position had stabilized thanks to the new Stadholder Willem III. Concern about French gains led to the August 1673 Treaty of the Hague between the Republic Brandenburg-Prussia the Emperor Leopold and King Charles II of Spain; in early 1674 England and the Dutch made peace in the Treaty of Westminster. In November 1677 Willem III married his cousin Mary niece of King Charles II of England. In the meantime peace talks had begun in 1676 in Nijmegen resulting in an Anglo-Dutch defensive alliance concluded on the 3rd of March 1678 almost a half year before the treaty was signed in August. But English troops arrived in significant numbers only in late May allowing King Louis XIV to improve his negotiating position by capturing Ghent on the same day the alliance was concluded on 3 March.Untrimmed and with bolts unopened.

Later seventeenth-century edition of this purported spiritual autobiography attributed to King Charles I of England. Crown 8vo 181 x 101mm: 16256pp with frontispiece engraved by William Marshall Madan 47 and full-page portrait of Charles II facing Chapter XXVII. Beautifully bound to period style by Fitterer in black morocco spine in six compartments divided by raised bands ruled in blind covers paneled in gilt with curlicue corner devices burgundy red leather lettering piece gilt end papers renewed. An exceptional copy tightly bound and clean throughout with crisp impressions of the plates. Madan 66. Almack 62. ESTC R204383. Wing E311A. Originally attributed to Charles I but according to Madan composed by John Gauden Bishop of Worcester who probably included some authentic writings of the King and may even have collaborated with him. The first edition was in print on the day of Charles I's execution on 30 January 1649 followed by many editions with various erroneous dates and publishing details. The Eikon reviews the course of the civil wars from the calling of the Long Parliament in 1640 to Charles's imprisonment at Carisbrooke Castle in 1647 and defends the King's policies. It is part political memoir and part spiritual autobiography presenting Charles as the defender of both Church and State. Written in a moving straightforward style in diary form the Eikon combines irenic prayers urging forgiveness of Charles's executioners with a justification of royalism. The poem "Majesty in Misery" said to have been written by the King at Carisbrooke first appeared in the 1676 edition of Perinchief's Life of King Charles but this is the first edition of the Eikon in which it was printed.

FIRST EDITION OF THIS IMPORTANT BIOGRAPHY OF EDWARD III WITH FINELY ENGRAVED PLATES. Edward III 1312–1377 was King of England from January 1327 until his death in 1377. He is noted for his military success and for restoring royal authority after the disastrous and unorthodox reign of his father Edward II. Edward III transformed the Kingdom of England into one of the most formidable military powers in Europe. His fifty-year reign is one of the longest in English history and saw vital developments in legislation and government in particular the evolution of the English Parliament as well as the ravages of the Black Death. He outlived his eldest son Edward the Black Prince and was succeeded by his grandson Richard II.<br> Edward was crowned at age fourteen after his father was deposed. After a successful campaign in Scotland he declared himself rightful heir to the French throne starting the Hundred Years' War 1337–1453. Following some initial setbacks this first phase of the war went exceptionally well for England and would become known as the Edwardian War. Victories at Crécy and Poitiers led to the highly favourable Treaty of Brétigny 1360 in which England made territorial gains and Edward renounced his claim to the French throne. <br> Edward was temperamental and thought himself capable of feats such as healing by the royal touch as some prior English kings did. He was also capable of unusual clemency. He was in many ways a conventional medieval king whose main interest was warfare but he also had a broad range of non-military interests. Admired in his own time and for centuries after. modern historians credit him with significant achievements. <br> Complete copies of this great work on Edward are rare. Most lack all or some of the engraved plates or are rebound. Printed by John Hayes for the Author hardcover
1670ABC_45696London 1670. Small 4to. in the Savoy printed by the assigns of John Bill and Christopher Barker = Thomas Newcombe printers to the Kings most excellent Majesty Sewn. With a woodcut factotum and decorative bands built up from typographic ornaments the crowned rose harp leak - depicted by a fleur-de-lis - and thistle representing England Ireland Wales and Scotland. 1 1 blank 11 1 pp. English translation of the Treaty of Madrid dated 1670 also called the Godolphin Treaty between England and Spain. Adopted in July 1670 and ratified on 28 September it officially ended the so-called Anglo-Spanish War 1654-1660 in the Caribbean. The open warfare between England and Spain caused by commercial rivalry had already ended in 1660 after six years of attacking each others commercial and colonial interests but the tension in the Caribbean caused conflict for ten more years. The war officially ended with two peace treaties signed at Madrid: the first dated 1667 and the present second dated 1670. The name Godolphin Treaty derives from William Godolphin 1635-1696 an English diplomat for Charles II and a member of Parliament. The negociations for this treaty between him and the Spanish representative Gaspar de Bracamonte Guzmán ca. 1595 - 1676 a Spanish statesman and count of Peñaranda who also played an important role in the famous Peace of Münster 1648 between France and the Holy Roman Empire started in the autumn of 1669. We can find those names at the end of the treaty.The present treaty was reprinted alone in 1698 printed by Charles Bill and the executrix of Thomas Newcomb deceasd printers to the Kings most Excellent Majesty ESTC R223888.Lacking A1 the title-page verso blank and the final blank leaf but otherwise complete so with no loss in the text of the treaty.
