FREE UPGRADE to Courier/Priority Shipping Upon Request IN STOCK AND IMMEDIATELY AVAILABLE FOR SHIPMENT - FLAWLESS COPY BRAND NEW PRISTINE NEVER OPENED -- The Roman occupation of Britain lasted nearly 400 years and produced a wide-ranging and radical transformation of the country affecting virtually every aspect of life: town-development transport agriculture industry and lifestyle. Rome also opened Britain to the intellectual and religious diversity of the empire. Yet there is plentiful evidence in both the literary record and the ever-increasing archaeological material to show that Britain -- a late-comer to Romes empire -- often resisted external influence and imbued imported Roman ways with native characteristics. This text seeks to introduce the history of Romes involvement with Britain in a succinct but readable way providing an overview of the countrys already diverse culture before the advent of the legions; tracing the historical development of the province under Rome and how the Romans maintained their hold on it; and tackling topics such as administration development of towns and the countryside religion and art. The aim of the book is not simply to supply information but to invite the reader to ask questions and delve deeper into Romes most northerly province. -- with a bonus offer-- .

1716008435St. James's Palace London 1716. Document. This original 15 June 1716 document signed by Britains King George I authorizes reimbursement for care given to prisoners in the wake of the Jacobite rising of 1715 which asserted the right of the Stuarts to the throne over the Hanoverians of which King George I was the first. <br /> <br />The document is a single sheet of laid watermarked paper measuring 15.75 x 12.75 inches folded to form four 7.875 x 12.75 inches panels. The first panel features the Kings order prominently signed by him George R at the head of the document. The document is further signed at the foot By His Majestys Command by Wm Pulteney the future 1st Earl of Bath who was then serving as Secretary of War. The document is addressed at the lower left to Henry Earl of Lincoln Pay Master Generall of Our Guards Garrisons & Land Forces in Great Britain and Forces abroad. The document orders the Earl of Lincoln to Pay unto John Mulcaster Agent and Sollicitor for transacting the Affairs of the Rebell Prisons the sum of Six hundred Ninety Two Pounds Three Shillings and Five Pence to be paid over to Lt. Col. Solomon Rapin in satisfaction of the like Summ disbursd by him in Nurses Medicines and other necessary Contingencys for the use of the Rebell Prisoners at the several Places they are kept from the 14th of Nov. 1715 to the 30th of Aprill 1716. The inconclusive Battle of Sheriffmuir had taken place on 13 November 1715. The document was executed at Our Court at St. Jamess this 15. Day of June 1716. In the Second Year of Our Reign. <br /> <br />The document bears three horizontal folds ostensibly where it was folded and sealed for original transmittal to Henry Earl of Lincoln. On the second panel is written the name John Mulcaster. The first and second sections of the upper fourth panel were obviously from the soiling and writing thereon the outer folded portions of the document when it was transmitted. Horizontally on the second section of the upper fourth panel is written: Warrant for. 692.3.5. to Mr. John Mulcaster in satisfaction of the like Summ Disbursd by Lt. Col. Sol. Rapin in Nurses Medicines sec. for the Rebell Prisoners from 14th. Nov. 1715. To 30th. Aprill 1716. all above the date June 16th. 1716. <br /> <br />Condition is very good overall. The document is all but complete with only fractional loss to the lower right corner two tiny holes at the intersection of vertical and horizontal folds and a short closed tear and minor associated loss at the upper right corner of the rear panel. The document shows light overall soiling and spotting the soiling heavy only on the upper rear panel which served as the outer faces when the document was originally folded for transmittal. <br /> <br />The future King George I was born Georg Ludwig in Hanover perhaps not an obvious route to the British throne. However the death in July 1700 of the duke of Gloucester reopened the question of the English succession That successor had to be a Protestantno Roman Catholic would have been consideredand of Stuart descent a combination which automatically excluded over fifty claimants with a closer hereditary claim. The person who united these qualifications was Georgs mother Sophia 1630-1714 youngest daughter of Frederick V of the Palatinate Winter King of Bohemia and of Elizabeth daughter of James I of England. <br /> <br />When he signed this document King George I 16601727 had only recently assumed the throne of Great Britain and Ireland ten months earlier in August 1715. The Jacobite cause pressed unsuccessfully upon his enthronement would be pressed with rebellious force of arms again in 1745 also to no avail. The Hanoverian period was remarkably stable not least because of the longevity of its monarchs. From 1714 through to 1901 there were only six monarchs one of whom George III remains the longest reigning king in British History. Queen Victoria then surpassed her grandfather in both age and length of reign. The period was also one of political stability and the development of constitutional monarchy. <br /> <br />Sources: ODNB; royal.uk <br/><br/> unknown

Picturesque Views on the River Medway from the Nore to the Vicinity of its Source in Sussex: With observations on the public buildings and other works of art in its neighbourhood. London: T. and J. Egerton 1793. <br /> <br /> First edition the scarce hand-colored issue. Octavo 9 x 6 1/8 in; 229 x 155 mm. xii 206 1 adv. 1 pp. Extra hand-colored engraved title-page black and white map and twenty-eight hand-colored aquatint plates. <br /> <br /> Bound by Root & Son stamp-signed in full brown morocco with multiple gilt-rolled borders and gilt corner-pieces gilt-rolled turn-ins. Gilt-ruled and ornamented compartments. Top edge gilt. A fine clean and tight copy of a book generally found with plates in sepia.<br /> <br /> A handsome and important English topographical work by Samuel Ireland recording the River Medway and its environs at a moment when picturesque travel and antiquarian interest were at their height. Ireland traces the river from its maritime mouth at the Nore through Kent and into Sussex combining scenic prospects with informed commentary on churches castles bridges estates and other works of architectural and historical interest.<br /> <br /> Although often encountered with plates printed in sepia or left uncolored copies with the full suite of plates carefully hand-colored as here are decidedly uncommon and greatly enhance the book's visual appeal. Issued by T. and J. Egerton among the leading publishers of late eighteenth-century topographical books Picturesque Views on the River Medway stands as a fine example of the genre and an especially attractive survival in a high-quality signed morocco binding.<br /> <br /> A desirable copy of a work prized by collectors of English topography aquatint illustration and finely bound travel books.<br /> <br /> "Samuel Ireland 17-1800 was one of the most successful artists who devoted himself to the career of topographic print-making. In the ten years between 1790 and 1800 he brought out six books of views containing in all some two hundred and eighty plates all aquatinted by himself after his own drawings. He began his artistic career as a copier of prints and a dealer in them and in 1760 gained a medal from the Society of Arts. The success of his first book A Picturesque Tour through Holland Brabant and part of France 1790 encouraged him to other work of the sort and in 1793 and 1793 appeared to other books Picturesque Views on the River Thames and Medway and later again on the Avon 1795 and Wye 1797 and posthumously the Severn 1824. His son William was the notorious Shakespeare forger.<br /> <br /> The London bindery of W. Root & Son consistently turned-out excellent work both on fine bindings as here and on trade bindings and sets. Packer lists the firm in business in Red Lion Square in 1899-1901 and the December 1942 issue of The Rotarian notes with regret that W. Root had been bombed out uprooted of their premises on Paternaster Row during the 1941 Blitz.<br /> <br /> Abbey Scenery 428. Prideaux p. 341. London: T. and J. Egerton, 1793 unknown

Although there are some provocative discrepancies between details of this set and the collation of the first edition in the Abbey Catalogue the only significant alteration between editions seems to have been the replacement of the "East View of Staines Old Bridge."
