264 pages. Author's signature atop title page. "Our family story reads like none other. This Smith saga takes us from poor pioneers to feisty farmers; from Senators to Brigadiers; from local fruit processing to a national manufacturer to a growing North American family firm. When I realized our history included war, fire, the Great Depression, family dissension, bravery under attack, successes, failures, innovation and vision, I wanted to pass it all on to my children. Apart from the name Smith, the common thread throughout the generations has been jam. A guiet, friendly, unassuming product has been the mainstay of our business. It is the framework from which all the adventures stem, and they are considerable." - Author Unmarked. Moderate wear. Prior owner's business card affixed inside front cover.

Fair. 10 920 64 pages : portrait missing ; 30 cm OCLC 13205839 ; full leather with five bands. rebound ; this is the first of the three volumes of the first impression;interestingly a copy of the later third impression was owned by Thomas Jefferson in Monticello & is now in the Jefferson Exhibit collection of the Library of Congress ; Croke was brought into Parliament for Bere Alston by his relative Charles Blount 8th Lord Mountjoy. 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.
