London: Printed by Mark Baskett later Charles Eyre and William Strahan 1767 -1787. A collection of twelve scarce Parliamentary acts from the reign of George III all of considerable interest to historians of British theater. This set is mainly concerned with the licensing and funding of provincial theaters and contains early references to theaters in a number of towns and villages that were fairly remote from London at this time. Collections of this type culled as it is from the vast print-run of eighteenth-century Parliamentary acts would be nearly impossible to put together today. Contents of the collection: "An Act for extending the Royalty of the City if Edinburgh over certain adjoining Lands . and to enable His Majesty to grant Letters Patent for establishing a Theatre in the City of Edinburgh or Suburbs thereof." 5ff. 1767. "An Act to enable his Majesty to license a Playhouse in the City of Bath." 2ff. 1768. "An Act for licensing a Playhouse within the City of Norwich." 2ff. 1768. "An Act for enabling his Majesty to license a Playhouse in the City of York; an in the Town and County of the Town of Kingston upon Hull." 2ff. 1769.

Great Britain. Laws statutes etc.
A collection of the several statutes and parts of statutes now in force relating to High treason and misprision of high treason.
London: Pr. by Charles Bill & the Executrix of Thomas Newcomb 1709. 12mo 15.5 cm; 6.125". 113 1 pp. 7 ff.; 44 pp. 2 ff. <br><br>Publication of this treatise on high treason followed hard on the heels of the Treason Act 1708 7 Ann c 21 by which Parliament "harmonized" the laws of high treason in "Great Britain" following the union in 1707 of England and Scotland each of which had different and sometimes quite distinct concepts of "high treason."<br>Â Â Â Â The final part of this small volume bears a title-page reading "A form and method of trial of commoners in cases of high treason and misprision of high treason" with the same imprint information at the main title. A woman tried and convicted seeking a stay of execution because pregnant may pray "a Jury of 12 Matrons or Motherly Women" confirm and attest the same; other data are equally particular and evocative. While the pagination and signature markings of this final part are not continuous from A collection of several statutes it is clear that the "two" were printed as a whole and are not separate works although they are sometimes catalogued as if they were and are even sometimes sold as such.<br>Â Â Â Â Printed mostly in roman type with some italic this has headings in gothic and some long passages also in gothic.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: 18th-century ownership signatures at top of main title-page of J.W. Tarleton and J. Skynner both lined through and 19th-century signature of Wm. Saunders. Oldham Free Public Library Lancs. stamp on verso of same. <br>Â Â Â Â <br>Â Â Â Â ESTC T136807; Sweet & Maxwell 12.Ia.6 and 12.Ia.10. Late 20th-century quarter brown calf with brown stone-pattern marbled paper sides; all edges gilt. Slim waterstain in upper margin of last four leaves; same leaves foxed. Overall a very good copy.
