Reports from Committees of the House of Commons; Which Have been Printed By Order of the House and are Not inserted in the Journals Reprinted by Order of the House 16 volumes
London; 1803-1806: Np. Folio. These reports were issued between 1715 and 1801 and were not inserted into the Journals. The reason they are so important for research is that before 1801 very few House papers were printed. Those that were printed were simply included in the Journals. The public demand increased after the Act of Union with Ireland. Charles Abbot elected Speaker of the House in 1801 ordered the Clerk of the House to gather and list all the papers in his custody which became the Abbot Collection this set fills in many gaps for the student of 18th Century Egnland.

Great Britian. Parliament. House of Lords. Select Committee on Gaols and Houses of Corrections
I. First report from the Select Committee of the House of Lords appointed to inquire into the present state of the several Gaols and Houses of Correction in England and Wales; with the Minutes of Evidence and an Appendix. II. Fourth and fifth reports from the Select Committee of the House of Lords appointed to inquire into the present state of the several Gaols and Houses of Correction in England and Wales; with the Minutes of Evidence an Appendix and a general index
Two volumes iv 315 appendix of 2 174 pp.; and viii 427-524 4 395-728 2 pp. comprising three of the five reports issued in 1835 by the House of Lords to investigate the state of prisons in England and Wales with the goal of researching the prospect of instituting a system which separated prisoners and establishing uniformity of discipline and diet across the prison system to be supervised by a group of Inspectors with interviews conducted with a range of gentlemen including some prison workers as well as questions posed to prisoners at institutions including Wakefield the Millbank Penitentiary the House of Corrections at Lewes and Cold Bath Field Prison and instructions for how to deal with convicts in various situations. Each volume is illustrated with dozens of tables and three lithographic plates which include: "Ergometer - Tread Wheel - Labour. Lewes Prison"; "Tread Wheels at Petworth"; "Crank-House at Petworth"; and "Design for a Prison Chapel by Jas. Savage upon a plan propsed by the Rev. Whitworth Russell Chaplain to the General Penitentiary Millbank in which all the prisoners can see the Clergyman and be seen by him and yet not see or communicate with each other." 4to. Modern three-quarter leather with papered boards and gilt lettering to spine Norwich binder's label to rear pastedown of each volume. London House of Commons 1835. By 1835 the threat of "prisoner culture" whereby prisoners spent time with other prisoners sharing stories learning from each other and plotting was recognized by the State. A Select Committee in the House of Lords was tasked to research a system to separate the prisoners. Six resolutions were laid out in the introduction to the first report including a uniform system of discipline a group of Inspectors to be appointed to visit the prisons and report to the Secretary of State and a new rule that persons who have been acquitted or had their trials postponed should not be imprisoned. The resolutions also include the proposal for the new system of separation: "That entire Separation except during the Hours of Labour and of Religious Worship and Instruction is absolutely necessary for preventing Contamination and for securing a proper System of Prison Discipline. That Silence be enforced so as to prevent all Communication between Prisoners both before and after Trial."<br/>One of the witnesses in the first report was Lieutenant John Siblly Governor of the Brixton House of Corrections who had a plan for a "solitary confinement prison" with 284 cells. Another was John Mance Keeper of the House of Corrections at Petworth who is credited as the inventor of the ergometer a labor scale a device which could quantify how much labor could be doled out to various types of prisoners rated both on physical and mental qualifications. The ergometer was "made to show the superintending officer the quantum of labour to be executed hourly daily and weekly.and notifies the officer and prisoners by an alarm bell when the day's work is executed."<br/>The final report includes new evidence from Mance the tread wheels and crank-house that he supervised and regulated with his ergometer.

GREENLAND WHALE FISHERY British Acts of Parliament
A series of 12 British Acts of Parliament concerning whaling mostly in Greenland and the Davis Strait
London: John Baskett and others printers 1818. 12 works folio. 12 1/2 x 8 inches and smaller. Disbound or stitched<br/> <br/>A fascinating series spanning the whole of the period when whaling was carried out on a successful commercial basis in the waters off Greenland.<br/> <br/>After an abortive start by the South Sea Company between 1724 and 1732 the British whaling fleet operated off Greenland and the Davis Strait throughout the remainder of the 18th century with increasing success due to a large degree to the succession of bounties granted to ship owners by the British Government. The present selection of acts of parliament includes a number concerning the bounty: the first dated 16th January 1732 makes law "that a Bounty will be paid on the Return of every Ship of 200 tons and over imployed by His Majesty's Subjects in the Whale Fishery". For the bounty to be paid certain stringent criteria had to be met; these increased as the century progressed. By the time of the last Act in the present group March 1818 the Greenland whalers were reporting declining catches and were already beginning to turn their attention to other whaling grounds i.e. largely in the Pacific and Antarctic. This group offers and interesting series of snapshots of the industry during its most productive century. The acts comprise: 1. An Act for encouraging the Greenland Fishery. 1732. Stitched later wrappers. Exemption from duty extended for a nine year period. 2. An Act for the further Encouragment of the Whale Fishery carried on by His Majesty's British Subjects. 1733. Stitched later wrappers. The introduction of a bounty for ships over 200 tons. 3. An Act for continuing the several Laws therein mentioned . including granting a further Bounty for all Ships employed in the Whale Fishery during the present War; for exempting Harponers and others . from being impressed. No date but circa 1750. Spine reinforced. The bounty raised by a third other measures to help the trade. 4. An Act for granting a additional Bounty on Ships employed in the Greenland and Whale Fishery for a limited time. No adte but circa 1761. Disbound. The increased bounty confirmed for another five years. 5.An Act for further continuing several Acts . for the Encouragement of the Whale Fishery. 1768. Stitched. 6. An Act for the better Support and Establishment of the Greenland and Whale Fishery. 1771. Stitched. The rules about the amount of bounty to be paid has changed with additional laws concerning vessels of American origin exemption from duty extended to include the Gulf of St. Lawrence certain members of a whaler's crew to be exempt from being pressed into service in the Royal Navy etc. 7.An Act to explain and amend Two Acts made . with respect to the Limits of the Greenland Seas and Davis's Streights . and to enlarge the Time for the Return of the Vessels employed in the Whale Fisheries. 1780. Stitched. 8. An Act for granting an additional Bounty on Ships employed in the Greenland and Whale Fishery for a limited Time. 1782. Disbound. The bounty retained for a further five years. 9. An Act for allowing Vessels employed in the Greenland Whale Fishery to complete their full Number of Men at certain Ports for the Present Season. 1805. Spine strengthened. Whaling ships permitted to call in to ports in Scotland the Orkneys and the Shetland Islands to find men to complete their crews. 10. An Act for allowing until the Signature of Preliminary Articles of Peace Vessels . to complete their full Number of Men at certain ports. 1806. Spine strenghtened.

GREENWICH HOSPITAL 1833 Act of Parliament
An Act for incorporating the Members of a Society commonly called 'The Seaman's Hospital Society'. and their Successors as therein is mentioned and provided; and for the better enabling and empowering them to carry on their charitable and useful Designs of the same Society INCORPORATION OF THE SEAMAN'S HOSPITAL SOCIETY. EXCEPTIONAL COPY
Printed by George Eyre and Andrew Spottiswoode Printers to the King's most Excellent Majesty 1833. 12pp. sm. folio with fine woodcut arms of William IV on front page; disbound an exceptionally crisp virtually spotless copy ideal for display or presentation. 3 Gulielmi IV. Cap. 9; granted royal assent 6 May 1833. This is the Act of Parliament formally incorporating the Seaman's Hospital Society establishing and naming its first governors and prescribing its powers and scope of operations. By way of context its military equivalent the Royal Hospital at Chelsea was founded in 1692. The world's first charitable society for the relief of distressed seamen was established in London in March 1821. Initially it aimed to cater for those in the Port of London 'who at that time were very numerous in the Metropolis' and fittingly for the world's leading maritime nation did not differentiate on nationality or any other grounds other than disability and hardship. The motivating principles seem to have been partly public gratitude in the aftermath of the Napoleonic wars in which the Royal Navy in particular had played a fundamental role in achieving victory and partly increased recognition of the helplessness of private seamen and the strength of their cause. The society was supported entirely by donations subscriptions and legacies and by the loan by government of a hospital ship HMS Dreadnought moored at Greenwich. In its first twelve years the society provided relief and support to upwards of twenty-three thousand sick and distressed seamen 'many of whom might otherwise have perished'. With the case clearly made it was time for a more formal and robust body with increased remit and governance; accordingly the Seaman's Hospital Society was given royal assent on 6 May 1833. Its significant extra powers included the rights to possess property receive bequests purchase lands and canvass donations; most important of all it was granted 'perpetual succession'. The original HMS Dreadnought continued in use until 1870 when the Admiralty made available at nominal rent the infirmary at Greenwich where the 'Dreadnought' hospital continues to this day. AN ACT OF FUNDAMENTAL IMPORTANCE TO THE WELFARE AND WELL-BEING OF SEAMEN IN BRITAIN AND A SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT IN BRITISH MARITIME HISTORY. VERY SCARCE ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION.

GUIDO MONTANI
L' economia politica dell'integrazione europea. Evoluzione di una democrazia sovranazionale
UTET 2008 VII-246 PP. FONDO DI MAGAZZINO: LIEVI SEGNI DEL TEMPO, VOLUME INTONSO, MAI SFOGLIATO In questo libro, l'integrazione europea viene studiata sulla base di un approccio interdisciplinare: economico e politico. L'ipotesi adottata è che l'integrazione europea è progredita a partire da un nucleo "sovranazionale" iniziale sino all'attuale Unione, che il Parlamento europeo definisce una "democrazia sovranazionale". Il carattere sovranazionale delle istituzioni europee ha consentito la creazione di importanti beni pubblici europei, come il mercato interno, l'euro e numerose politiche. Ogni capitolo discute di alcuni cruciali beni pubblici mostrando l'evoluzione delle istituzioni europee in relazione alla complessa realtà storica che le ha condizionate. Un approccio narrativo è indispensabile, perché le istituzioni europee sono in continua evoluzione. Tuttavia, nelle Appendici a ogni capitolo si approfondiscono i problemi teorici, mostrando come l'integrazione europea costringa a riformulare alcuni concetti fondamentali dell'economia e della scienza politica. Infine, si affronta la questione del ruolo dell'Unione europea nel mondo, caratterizzato dal processo di globalizzazione e dalla formazione di un nuovo multipolarismo. A questo proposito, si estende il metodo sovranazionale, già sperimentato in Europa, anche su scala mondiale. La creazione di alcuni beni pubblici mondiali (global public goods) - come ha fatto l'Unione europea con il Protocollo di Kyoto - favorirebbe la transizione verso un ordine multipolare cooperativo

HENRY VIII PARLIAMENT
Acts. Anno XXXIII et. V. Henrici VIII
1562. HENRY VIII PARLIAMENT. Acts. Anno XXXIIII et. V. Henrici VIII. London: T. Powell 1562. Slim folio 8 by 11-1/2 inches modern full brown morocco. $3800.Early edition of the Parliamentary Acts of 1542 featuring 25 acts featuring the important Act for the Advancement of True Religion and the first English act dealing with Bankruptcy finely printed in black-letter with lovely historiated woodcut initials.The first and most important act passed by the Parliament in 1542 banned the reading or owning of the Bible in Englishat that point Tyndale's translationin England for most of the population. Exceptions were made for the clergy the gentry wealthy merchants and the wives of the gentry and nobility who were only allowed to read it in private effectively barring the Bible in English from the vast majority of the population. By the time of the act's passage Tyndale was already dead executed near Brussels in 1536 after being convicted of heresy for his promotion of theology influenced by Martin Luther. And Tyndale himself had never actually published a full Bible in English having only managed individual publications of the New Testament the Pentateuch and a few other books of the bible; the first full Bible in English was actually produced by Miles Coverdale in 1536 based heavily on Tyndale's earlier publications. The act also banned numerous other categories of books although it did provide exceptions for ""statutes and lawes of the realme cronicles Canturbury tales Chaucers bookes Gowers bookes and stories of menns lives."" The acts from this year are also notable for containing the Statute of Bankrupts the first codification of law for bankruptcy in England. First published in 1543 with several editions or issues following soon after; this is one of two editions published in 1562. Without the acts for Wales. STC 9409. Foxing to a few leaves mild dampstaining to inner margin of some early leaves but text readable and clear; handsomely bound. Rare. unknown
