164824386<p><strong>1648 RARE Oliver CROMWELL King Charles II Resolution English Civil War Royalists</strong></p><p>Charles II of England ruled in Great Britain and Ireland until 1685. Known as the Prince of Wales Charles II became king of Scotland in 1649 and directed the restoration of the throne as well as many other political and military feuds in the 17th-century. However prior to his rise to the throne during the Second English Civil War Charles II was furious with the anti-Royalist regime and vehemently spoke out against those who would not support the Royalist cause. One such proof of this was his letter called simply "<em>The Resolution</em>" – an account of Oliver Cromwell's campaigns as well as his perspectives against those who opposed Charles's rise to power.</p><p>Item number: #24386</p><p>Price: $750</p><p>England and Wales</p><p><strong><em>The resolution of the Prince of Wales concerning Lieutenant Generall Cromwel : and the routing of the Scottish army</em></strong></p><p>London 1648 1st edition</p><p><u>Details</u>: </p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Collation: Complete with all pages</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->o <!--endif-->2 6 </p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Language: English </p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Binding: Pamphlet</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->Size: ~7in X 5.25in 18cm x 13cm</p><p><!-- if !supportLists-->· <!--endif-->VERY rare </p><p>Our Guarantee:</p><p>Very Fast.

168031090London: John Wright & Richard Chiswell 1680. Folio 27.1 cm 10.75". 4 13343 1 pp. <br><br>with England & Wales. Sovereign 16601685: Charles II. His Majesties declaration to all his loving subjects touching the causes & reasons that moved him to dissolve the two last parliaments. London: Pr. by the assigns of John Bill Thomas Newcomb & Henry Hills 1681. Folio. 10 2 pp.<br>Â Â Â Â First editions of two significant documents one from Parliament and one from Charles II regarding the furor over the Exclusion Bill. In the first work the tone is indeed almost aggressively humble as per the title but the position is utterly unyielding: The Catholic Duke of York will not be accepted in the line of succession as Charles II's life will allegedly be in constant deadly danger as long as there is any possibility of "a Popish Successor" p. 135. In response to the "Humble Address" Charles dismissed the Parliament and called another which also refused to do his bidding after which he issued the second piece here an attempt at justification which invokes the Fitzharris treason case.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: These two copies were joined together by a contemporary reader who marked the recto of the printing permission of the first piece with "The Address" and the verso of the permission of the second piece that is that piece's final page with "The King's Declaration. This read in ye Parochial Church of Thrandeston May ye first Anno Domini 1681. Tho. Mael." Mael served as rector of Thrandeston from 1670 until his death in 1709. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â Humble Address: ESTC R228475; Nelson & Seccombe 647.49B. Declaration: Wing rev. ed. C3000; ESTC R13996.

164721028431647. London: n.p. 1647. Small 4to. Disbound pp. 2 6; a little toned a few stains to title light dampstaining to outer margin of A1-2 but overall a very good and crisp copy.First and only edition very rare of this denunciation of the abuses of the Parliamentarian County Committees in Wales issued at the height of the Civil War.By the summer of 1647 one surviving copy is dated in manuscript ""1 July"" the war had dragged on for nearly five years. Parliament was steadily gaining the advantage largely through the network of County Committees manned with loyal supporters. These officials collected the taxes that sustained the war effort requisitioned horses and supplies for the army and carried out Parliament's decrees. Their growing power - together with the ever-heavier burden of taxation to maintain the army - provoked widespread resentment and in turn revived support for the Royalist cause.This pamphlet sets out the grievances against the Parliamentarian committees in Glamorgan South Wales and denounces their exactions and abuses. The rising it encourages was less an expression of loyalty to Charles I than a reaction to Parliament's oppressive rule. Indeed it contains no Royalist propaganda and no expressions of loyalty to Charles. Instead it reads as a near-anarchic denunciation of arbitrary power itself of its arrogance remoteness and disregard for the people.ESTC R201640 recording only five copies BL National Library of Wales Cardiff Central Library Oxford Folger. unknown

He served on the committees concerning tillage 13 Dec. 1597 lewd & wandering persons 20 Dec. costs in civil lawsuits 27 Jan. 1598 & on two conferences with the Lords 16 Jan. on defence and 3 Feb. on wine casks. He was probably the 'Mr. George Cooke' who was appointed to the committee on tellers and receivers on 12 Dec. Croke began reporting law cases in 1581& is mentioned as an advocate in his own reports in 1588. He established a lucrative practice & built up estates in Oxfordshire & Buckinghamshire. He was associated with the Hampden family was named as overseer in the will of William Hampden & must have known John Hampden for whom he later gave judgment in the ship-money case. Croke's marriage 'fell out unexpected to his friends that conceived a purpose in him never to have married' she being some 20 years of age & he 'an ancient bachelor'. Croke's law reports published after his death in a translation from the law French by Harbottle Grimston his son-in-law soon occupied a considerable place in the authoritative literature of the common law. The 12 active years which he spent on the King's bench coincided with some of the great constitutional cases of the century. He is best remembered in connexion with ship-money. In 1637 Charles submitted the question to the judges all of whom-save for Croke and Sir Richard Hutton-agreed that the King could demand such financial aid from his subjects in time of danger. The two dissidents signed this general statement in the belief that they were bound to yield to the majority opinion. However when the problem came before him judicially in the Hampden case he made an outright statement declaring that there was no precedent for such a prosecution and that only Parliament might set a charge upon a subject. 'The King has ship money by hook but not by Croke' said the wits. In 1641 Croke retired retaining the title salary & allowances of a judge. He died at Waterstock 16 Feb. 1642 leaving two wills the first being concerned with the disposal of land to his wife and son Thomas. In the second made 1640 and proved 3 May 1642 he asked to be buried without 'heraldry' hearse or any 'unnecessary ceremonies'. The widow was appointed sole executrix.--historyofparliamentonline ; Sir Harbottle Grimston 1603-1685 English politician second son of Sir Harbottle Grimston Bart. d. 1648 was born at Bradfield Hall near Manningtree on the 27th of January 1603. Educated at Emmanuel College Cambridge he became a barrister of Lincoln's Inn then recorder of Harwich & recorder of Colchester. As member for Colchester Grimston sat in the Short Parliament of 1640 & he represented the same borough during the Long Parliament speedily becoming a leading member of the popular party. He attacked Archbishop Laud with great vigour; was a member of the important committees of the parliament including the one appointed in consequence of the attempted seizure of the five members; & became deputy-lieutenant of Essex after the passing of the militia ordinance in January 1642. He disliked taking up arms against the king but remained nominally an adherent of the parliamentary party during the Civil War. In the words of Clarendon he "continued rather than concurred with them." .He translated the law reports of his father-in-law the judge Sir George Croke 1560-1642 which were written in Norman-French & five editions of this work have appeared.-1911 Britannica ; thick volume; marginalia; FAIR <br/> <br/> Printed by and for John Field and Tho.

164237985London: Printed for John Wright 1642. 4to 19 cm 7.5". 8 pp. <br><br>First edition. This ordinance made provision for privateers to hinder aid reaching the Irish during the Rebellion of 1641 although the rebellion wasn't entirely quelled until Cromwell's New Model Army reconquered Ireland in 1653. The war was almost certainly the most destructive in Irish history and its abiding legacy was the wholesale transfer of land ownership and political power from the old Catholic elite to a Protestant one in part newly installed and in part pre-existing the war. The publisher of this wartime proclamation was an official printer for the Parliament of England and published several early newspapers and ballads. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â ESTC R19001; Wing rev. ed.
