Mackenzie, Sir George
Jus Regium: or The Just and Solid Foundations of Monarchy in General: and more especially of the Monarchy of Scotland: Manitain’d against Buchannan Daphtali Dolman Milton & c. By Sir George Mackenzie His Majesty’s Advocate in Scotland.
<p>Mackenzie Sir George: Jus Regium: or The Just and Solid Foundations of Monarchy in General: and more especially of the Monarchy of Scotland: Manitain'd against Buchannan Daphtali Dolman Milton & c. By Sir George Mackenzie His Majesty's Advocate in Scotland. London: Printed for Richard Chiswell at the Rose and Crown in St. Paul's Church-yard. 1684. A rare English history book.<br /><br /><br />MACKENZIE Sir George Lacks engraved portrait frontispiece of Charles II otherwise a very crisp copy in contemporary quarter calf with paper boards rubbed on hinges and corners of boards. Three separate editions were published in this year. A good copy. Has early pages replaced with blank blue paper and this may be one of the later editions which lacked the portrait since by 1684 everyone knew what Charles II looked like. Wing M163. Charles II second son of Charles I and Henrietta Marie of France was born in 1630. He spent his teenage years fighting Parliament's Roundhead forces until his father's execution in 1649 when he escaped to France. He drifted to Holland but returned to Scotland in 1650 amid the Scottish proclamation of his kingship; in 1651 he led a Scottish force of 10000 into a dismal defeat by Cromwell's forces at Worcester. He escaped but remained a fugitive for six weeks until he engineered passage to France. Charles roamed Europe for eight years before being invited back to England as the Commonwealth dissolved. He married Catherine of Braganza but sired no legitimate children. His oldest child James Scott Duke of Monmouth made a failed bid to capture the crown at the time of his father's death and was executed by James II brother of Charles II and Uncle to Monmouth. Charles II died in February 1685 from complications following a stroke. Charles arrived in London to claim the throne on his 30th birthday May 29 1660. He was extremely tolerant of those who had condemned his father to death: only nine of the conspirators were executed. He was also tolerant in religious matters but more from political wisdom than overwhelming morality. England was overjoyed at having a monarch again. However royal powers and privileges had been severely limited by Parliament. He was forced to fund his administration from customs taxes and a healthy pension paid to him by France's Louis XIV. Royal prerogative the soul of the Tudor monarchs James I and Charles I had all but vanished. This moment was a turning point in English political history as Parliament maintained a superior position to that of the king and the modern concept of political parties formed from the ashes of the Cavaliers and Roundheads. The Cavaliers evolved into the Tory Party royalists intent on preserving the king's authority over Parliament while the Roundheads transformed into the Whig Party men of property dedicated to expanding trade abroad and maintaining Parliament's supremacy in the political field. The first decade of Charles' reign was beset by many problems. Defeat at the hands of the Dutch in a mishandled war over foreign commerce cost him domestic support. The Great Plague of 1665 and the Fire of London in the following year left much of the city in ruins. In 1667 the Dutch sailed up the Medway sunk five battleships and towed the Royal Charles back to Holland. King and Council were ridiculed for not having enough interest in the affairs of government. The 1670's saw Charles' forging a new alliance with France against the Dutch. French support was based on the promise that Charles would reintroduce Catholicism in England at a convenient time - apparently that convenient time never came as Charles did nothing to bring England under the Catholic umbrella although he made a deathbed conversion to the Roman faith. The Whigs used Catholicism to undermine Charles; England was in the throes of yet another wave of anti-Catholicism with the Whigs employing this paranoia in an attempt to unseat the heir apparent Charles' Catholic brother James from succeeding to the throne. Titus Oates a defrocked Anglican priest stoked the fires of anti-Catholicism by accusing the queen and her favorites of attempting to murder Charles; ten men fell prey to false witness and Oates' manipulation of the anti-Catholic movement and were executed. Many accused Anthony Cooper Earl of Shaftsbury and founder of the Whig Party of inciting the anti-Catholic violence of 1679-80; this has remained one of the greatest mysteries in British history. The Whig-dominated Parliament tried to push through an Exclusion Bill barring Catholics from holding public office and keeping James Stuart from the throne but Charles was struck down by a fever and opinion swayed to his side. His last years were occupied with securing his brother's claim to the throne and garnering Tory support. Charles' era is remembered as the time of "Merry Olde England". The monarchy although limited in scope was successfully restored - the eleven years of Commonwealth were officially ignored as nothing more than an interregnum between the reign of Charles I and Charles II. Charles' tolerance was astounding considering the situation of England at the time of his ascension but was necessary for his reign to stand a chance at success. He was intelligent and a patron of scientific research but somewhat lazy as a ruler choosing to wait until the last moment to make a decision. The British attitude towards Charles II is humorously revealed in this quote from 1066 and All That: "Charles II was always very merry and was therefore not so much a king as a Monarch. During the civil war he had rendered valuable assistance to his father's side by hiding in all the oak-trees he could find. He was thus very romantic and popular and was able after the death of Cromwell to descend to the throne."</p> Chiswell, Richard hardcover

Maistre, Lieutenant-Colonel (Paul André Marie). Préface Général H. Langlois.
Spicheren (6 Août 1870). Avec 9 cartes en 10 vues panoramiques hors texte.
Crown quarto. Pp. xvi, 412. Plus 9 folding maps, some of which printed in additional colours and 10 panoramic folding views, all loosely inserted in rear pocket as issued. Text figure. Hardcover, bound in contemporary black half cloth and matching marbled boards; broken spine reattached, old shelf ticket, old military institutional stamps to half-title and title and to corner of all maps, endpapers bit foxed. In good condition, very good maps and plates. ~ First edition. Rare. The panoramic views are particularly interesting and most uncommon in modern book production. These are 10 reproductions of very realistic hand-drawn views in pencil and charcoal, possibly made after reconnaissance photographs but most likely drawn in-situ by the military artist Commander Bonnefoy, who has signed each drawing. Each view is accompanied by extended legend printed in letterpress at bottom, and with place names and topographic points of reference indicated with arrows. These beautiful views are reproduced here in collotype, one of the most accurate and attractive methods of photomechanical tonal printing processes. Highly skilled and expensive process, it cannot produce more than a limited number of impressions. It has been used for single-sheet prints and luxury portfolios, and since the 1950s has been abandoned by all except a few small specialist firms.
