The coronation was a huge occasion for celebration and four hundred thousand visitors descended upon London to see the new Queen being crowned. <br/><br/>In her diary the nineteen-year-old Victoria set down an account of this the greatest day in her young life:<br/><br/>"I was awoke at four o'clock by the guns in the Park and could not get much sleep afterwards on account of the noise of the people bands etc. etc. Got up at seven feeling strong and well; the Park presented a curious spectacle crowds of people up to Constitution Hill soldiers bands etc. I dressed having taken a little breakfast before I dressed and a little after. At half-past nine I went into the next room dressed exactly in my House of Lords costume."<br/><br/>"At 10 I got into the State Coach with the Duchess of Sutherland and Lord Albemarle and we began our progress. It was a fine day and the crowds of people exceeded what I have ever seen; Their good humour and excessive loyalty was beyond everything and I really cannot say how proud I feel to be the Queen of such a nation.<br/><br/>". After the ceremony At about half-past four I re-entered my carriage the Crown on my head and the Sceptre and Orb in my hands and we proceeded the same way as we came-the crowds if possible having increased. The enthusiasm affection and loyalty were really touching and I shall ever remember this day as the PROUDEST of my life! I came home a little after six really not feeling tired. At eight we dined."<br/><br/>"On the day of Queen Victoria's coronation four hundred thousand visitors descended on London to see the new queen.

There is no security better than Liberty Bonds. If kept until they mature they will be paid in full."

COLLATION: A-B4 C-F8 G-Q4 COMPLETE. 2 19-176 pp. Attractive half calf antique marbled boards red morocco label gilt compartments gilt with small tools. ¶ FIRST EDITION of this important collection of Parliamentary debates providing original and valuable documentation of the constitutional crisis that ensued during the Glorious Revolution of 1688. James II of England a.k.a. James VII of Scotland while fleeing to France dropped the Great Seal of the Realm into the Thames. In Parliament the question was discussed whether he had forfeited the throne or had abdicated. The present volume offers detailed arguments for the both but ultimately the latter designation was agreed upon and in a full assembly of the Lords and Commons it was resolved in spite of James's protest "that King James II having endeavored to subvert the constitution of the kingdom by breaking the original contract between king and people and by the advice of Jesuits and other wicked persons having violated the fundamental laws and having withdrawn himself out of this kingdom has abdicated the government and that the throne is thereby vacant." The Scottish parliament pronounced a decree of forfeiture and deposition. ¶ In our copy the imprint reads "and to be sold" in another issue the imprint reads "and sold". ¶ References: Wing 2nd ed.

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.

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
