Text in Spanish translated from the French. 18th-century Spanish vellum ms. title to spine Jacobo 2o; lacking ties but internally clean and bright. <br/><br/>Spanish imprint of the biography of James II of England published during the last of the Jacobite uprisings. Forced out of power in the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and defeated in the subsequent battle of the Boyne by William of Orange the short reign of James II has an importance that reaches far beyond his three years in power. He died in 1701 in exile at the Palace of St. Germain in France and remains to be one of the most complex and intriguing persons of history. An ardent Roman Catholic his efforts to return England to the Catholic faith continue to resonate to this day in Northern Ireland. The Jacobite uprisings were a series of rebellions and wars in Great Britain and Ireland occurring from 1688 to 1746. The aim of the later uprisings was to return the House of Stuart and the descendants of James II to the throne of Great Britain after being deposed by Parliament during the Glorious Revolution. This biography of James II was printed in the last year of the major Jacobite uprising known as the The Forty Five. It was an intense time to show partisanship and effectively Jacobitism ended here as a serious political force in Britain. Not commonly found in such good original condition. por Antonio Marin hardcover books

Disbound else Very Good. <br/><br/> The New England Emigrant Aid Society was formed in 1854 to promote the emigration to Kansas of anti-slavery men and their families. Its Executive Committee whose members included Eli Thayer Edward Hale and William Spooner responds to criticism that the Society is a "mammoth moneyed corporation" which seeks "to control the institutions of Kansas." The charges against the Society were leveled in a Senate Report issued by the Chairman Stephen A. Douglas of the Committee on Territories. <br/> The Society says the Executive Committee does not promote "interference with the internal affairs and domestic concerns of the Territory;" it "has done what it could in a peaceable legal and constitutional way to aid in the settlement of Kansas by a population of freemen." <br/>FIRST EDITION. 22 Decker 220.

Bifolium. 2 unnumbered pages of printed text; title printed to verso of second leaf else second leaf blank. 9-3/4" x 7-5/8" <br/><br/>Auction catalogue from the 1795 sale of 38 lots of the freehold estate owned by the late Charles Chaplin Esq. with manuscript prices and related notes in pencil and ink in a contemporary hand throughout. Occasional pencil notations and markings correct the printed acreage estimates of some lots. The Chaplins were members of the upper gentry and influential landowners in Lincolnshire. When the Louth Navigation -- a canal running from Louth in Lincolnshire to Tetney Haven at the mouth of the Humber -- was completed in 1770 Charles Chaplin managed to secure a 99 year lease of the tolls despite the terms of the canal's Act of Parliament limiting such leases to just seven years. The Louth Navigation Trust per the Louth Canal website notes that control and management of the tolls became "virtually hereditary" and led to considerable commercial opposition to the Chaplins and their political influence by the 1820s. The catalog includes columns for "Names of Plots &c."; "Acres by Estimation"; "State of Land"; and "Occupiers." Anyone wishing to view the premises is encouraged to apply to one Mr. J.
