FIRST COMPLETE AND BEST EDITION. John Rushworth born c. 1612 died May 12 1690 was the English historian whose Historical Collections of Private Passages of State 7 vol. 1659–1701; 8 vol. 1721 covering the period from 1618 to 1649 continues to be a valuable source of information on events leading up to and during the English Civil Wars.<br> Rushworth studied law and in 1638 was made solicitor to the town of Berwick-upon-Tweed. He was enrolled at Lincoln’s Inn in 1640 and called to the bar in 1647. Rushworth was more interested in politics than in law and during the intermission of parliaments 1629–40 he attended and made shorthand notes of all important political and judicial proceedings heard before the Star Chamber the court of honour and the king and council. In 1640–42 he was assistant clerk to the House of Commons and after the outbreak of war he acted as a messenger between Parliament and its committees at Oxford and York. He himself published a number of the newssheets that preceded the establishment of regular newspapers—e.g. the daily London Post 1644–45; 1646–47 the Kingdomes Weekly Post 1643–1644—and also the parliamentary pamphlets opposed to the Royalist Mercurius Aulicus.<br> Following the execution of Charles I in 1649 Rushworth became personal secretary to Oliver Cromwell. He began drafting plans for the abolition of the monarchy and the House of Lords and the establishment of an English Republic under the leadership of Cromwell. As secretary 1645–50 to Sir Thomas Fairfax general of the New Model Army Rushworth had considerable importance and thereafter he was employed by the council of state and Parliament. When Cromwell became Lord Protector in 1653 Rushworth was promoted to Registrar of the Court of Admiralty. In 1657 he was elected Member of Parliament for Berwick in the Second Protectorate Parliament. As a member of the Cromwellian government he enjoyed the friendships of John Milton who served Cromwell as the official State Censor; John Owen; John Bunyan and many other well known people of that period. When Oliver Cromwell died on 3 September 1658 his son Richard Cromwell became Lord Protector.<br> At the Restoration Rushworth made peace with Charles II and although called to give information on the activities of the regicides was not himself implicated. In 1667 he became secretary to the lord keeper and later agent to the colony of Massachusetts. Despite his many emoluments and an inherited estate he fell into poverty and spent his last years in a lodging in the King’s Bench prison Southwark where he died.<br> Rushworth’s Historical Collections was compiled from his own notes and from printed material with the avowed intention of making it possible for a true history to be written of events that in pamphlets and news sheets dating from the period before the control of the press were liable to misrepresentation. It is most useful for its eyewitness accounts of the Earl of Strafford’s trial the Battle of Naseby and the parliamentary campaigns of 1644–45 and for its transmission of contemporary comment.<br> While Rushworth was remembered as a person his writings found favour in America where they served as a source of inspiration for Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson bought a copy of Rushworth's Historical Collections for use in his own library and he often quoted from them. Rushworth was a contemporary of John Lilburne whose writings had a profound impact on the history of the English Civil Wars of the 17th century. Although his senior he also shared much in common with Oliver Cromwell born 1599 because they were evangelical Christians who believed that the Church of England should undergo a total reformation contrary to the wishes of King Charles I. His views of Charles I as a king who had declared war on his own people were later echoed in words by Thomas Jefferson and others when writing about the reign of George III in the Declaration of Independence.

This formally established the Commissioners of the Longitude and the reward of £20000 for "the first Author or Authors Discoverer or Discoverers of any such method ." that to the satisfaction of the committee accurately determined a ship's longitude at sea accurate to within 20 geographical miles. This reward would not be claimed until 1765 when clockmaker John Harrison developed his "time-keeper" or marine chronometer. 1394685. Special Collections. Printed by John Baskett hardcover

Pages 29 30 and the rear wrap have a small chip upper edge resulting in loss of a couple of letters. <br /> <br /> This pamphlet was published shortly before "The War of Jenkins Ear" with Spain. Contents cover trade issues in the new American colonies; sale of "Negroes"; Native Americans; European countries etc. <br /> <br /> Sabin 64143. From wikipedia:<br /> <br /> The War of Jenkins' Eara was fought by Great Britain and Spain between 1739 and 1748. The majority of the fighting took place in New Granada and the Caribbean Sea with major operations largely ended by 1742. It is considered a related conflict of the 1740 to 1748 War of the Austrian Succession. The name derives from Robert Jenkins a British sea captain whose earb was allegedly severed in April 1731 by Spanish coast guards searching his ship for contraband. In 1738 opposition politicians in the British Parliament used the incident to incite support for a war against Spain.2<br /> <br /> The most significant operation of the war was a failed British attack on Cartagena in 1741 which resulted in heavy casualties and was not repeated.3 Apart from minor actions in Spanish Florida Georgia and Havana after 1742 Britain and Spain focused their efforts on the War of the Austrian Succession in Europe.

One of Defoe’s infamous pamphlets published under his second period of employment by the British government as a literary fifth columnist.

In short he worked a a pamphleteering agent of chaos all in the service of the government pacifying their erstwhile opponents. Defoe was seen as a renegade traitor and spy by a number of his contemporaries: “the little art he is truly a master of of forging a story and imposing it on the world.†DNB 737. Mercurius Politicus was published in the years shortly before his fantastical Robinson Crusoe. The periodical ran from May 1716 to December 1720. This being the April 1717 issue.

17500009001London England Britain UK. Good. 1750. Vellum. On offer is an exemplary and rare Latin copy of the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion the defining statements of doctrines and practices of the Church of England and one of the most important religious documents of history. While the Articles themselves were formulated in the mid-1500s this particular book dates back to c.1700. The Articles were issued in both Latin and English. The entirety of this book is written in Latin. There is a vellum cover still fully intact though there are small tears at the ends and discoloration due to age. Written on the front cover and continued on the back are a table of contents for all 39 articles. They begin with I. De Fide in sacrosanctam Trinitatem. and ending with XXIX. De Christiani Juramento. The writing is still extremely clear. Smudging or discoloration of the text throughout the entire book is non-existent. The book is roughly 160 pages long. It has been sewed together using a 3-hole pamphlet stitching. There are also some anomalies throughout. Many pages contain tiny pieces of paper sewn in that have extra writing on them. One of them reads Christ a true sacrifice vide Eph: 20 which translates to Christs sacrifice see: Ephesians: 20. Another reads vide Art: XXI. Prop: V. These little notes seem to be addendums and cross-references that the owner most probably put in himself. While most pages are fully filled with text a few pages are mostly blank with some writing on the top De sexta propositione and a blank space under which the owner meant to continue writing but did not. History: When Henry VIII broke with the Roman Catholic Church and was excommunicated in 1538 he formed a new Church of England which would be headed by the monarch himself rather than the pope. The Thirty-nine Articles of Religion were initiated by the Convocation of 1563 under the direction of Matthew Parker the Archbishop of Canterbury. The articles pulled back from some of the more extreme Calvinist thinking and created the peculiar English reformed doctrine. Adherence to the Articles was made a legal requirement by the English Parliament in 1571 and incorporated into the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Although not the end of the struggle between Catholic and Protestant monarchs and citizens the book helped to standardize the English language and was to have a lasting effect on religion in the United Kingdom and elsewhere through its wide use. ; Manuscript; 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall; KEYWORDS: HISTORY OF THIRTY-NINE ARTICLES OF RELIGION 39 ARTICLES XXXIX ARTICLES ANGLICAN CHURCH CHURCH OF ENGLAND LATIN BOOK HENRY VIII THOMAS CRANMER EXCOMMUNICATION NON VERNACULAR RELIGION RELIGIOUS DOCUMENT PROTESTANT REFORMATION UNITED . hardcover
