It is often thought Trenchard also assisted in the second part; however attributed solely to Moyle by BM Wing".<br />3 Somers ESTC r11547 WING S4642 <br />4 Trenchard ESTC r16213 There are 2 printings this one line 8 of title page has: 'Balancing'; there is no press-figure on p. 7; p. 15 has additional paragraph beginning: "Now Sir if a Parliament should subject all the Lands .". WING T2113 <br />5 Fletcher ESTC r5238 WING F1294</p><p>Following his invasion of England in 1688 the Glorious Revolution William of Orange became King William III and reigned jointly with his wife Mary. The English parliament's Bill of Rights of 1689 established a constitutional monarchy with extensive restrictions on the royal prerogative. One of those restrictions was that the Sovereign could not raise a standing army during peacetime without parliamentary consent. While William opposed such constraints he accepted them and chose not to engage in a conflict with Parliament. In the following years William was much engaged in European wars that ended with the Treaty of Ryswick in 1697.<br />The wars now over parliament to the king's displeasure decided to reduce the size of the army to 10000 men and later to 7000.<br />The ideological and political significance of the issue was argued out in a series of pamphlets of which these five are probably the most important on both sides of the issue. "The pamphlets . had a powerful effect upon the immediate controversy of 1697-99. The anti-army tracts moreover played a vital role in the formulation of an anti-army attitude which lived on in eighteenth century England and was transmitted along with many other ideas in liberal and republican seventeenth political thought to the American colonies. . Against the peacetime army were principally John Trenchard Walter Moyle Andre Fletcher of Saltoun the Rev. Samuel Johnson and John Toland. Arguing for the king's proposal were chiefly the lord chancellor John Somes and Daniel Defoe . Outstanding among the men who opposed the army was John Trenchard who may be regarded as the leader of the pamphleteers" Schwoerer.<br />Trenchard 1662 - 1723 educated at T.C.D. studied law in London and was a man of considerable wealth through inheritance and marriage. From initial support of the 1689 Revolution he became disenchanted with William and used his wide knowledge of sixteenth and seventeenth century republican political thought to oppose what he judged to be a potentially dangerous power grab by the monarchy. His Argument written in conjunction with Moyle the first pamphlet in this collection launched the debate and determined its parameters. Moyle's <em>Second Part</em> continued their argument. Somers apparently without great conviction argued for retention of a standing army and Trenchard in turn wrote a riposte.<br />Fletcher of Saltoun 1655 - 1716 Scottish writer patriot and politician had returned from European exile with William of Orange in 1688 but terminated his support when he judged that William also King of Scotland was only interested in using the country to help fight foreign wars. He like the other anti-army writers argued that history indicated a direct relationship between absolutism and a peacetime army. He perceived a decay in liberty around 1500 a product of economic and social changes that produced luxury and an abandonment of an old frugal military way of life. Such circumstances allowed defence of the realm to slip into the hands of princes who eliminated ancient rights and freedoms. England the last bastion of liberty faced following 'all the other kingdoms of Europe' along this path unless she avoided a standing army in peacetime.<br />Trenchard and his supporters the group of Whig religious political and economic reformers later sometimes Commonwealth men through their writings promoted republicanism in Britain. However while they were rejected in Britain their ideas were widely influential in British colonial America and on Republicanism in the United States.<br />Nathaniel Hornby or Horneby a London goldsmith and banker served as a Commissioner of Excise 1683 to 88 and in 1691. From the Restoration in 1660 to 1683 the state's excise was farmed out to investors willing to pay the government for the right to collect taxation. In 1683 a new group of Commissioners was chosen to be more efficient in collection than the foregoing. The Revolution of 1688/89 overturned the leadership of the excise branch and only 2 of the 7 Commissioners in office in Feb. 1688 survived a purge in April 1689 with most removed for political reasons. In 1684 when a remodelled department was considered "Sir John Somers whose influence was rising as the Whigs ascended recommended dismissal for virtually all of the commissioners. In particular he singled out Nathaniel Nornby and Thomas Aram who 'were such avowed Jacobites that there was nothing to be said for them'" Krenzke.<br />Nathaniel Hornby perhaps to provide himself with a bolt-hole far from London in the early 18th century rented a house and farm at Muff now Eglinton in Co. Londonderry from Ireland richest commoner and Speaker of the Irish parliament William Conolly himself a head tenant of the London Grocer's Company. Robert McCausland lived at Fruit Hill now Drenagh only a few miles from Muff and near Limavady. That estate was bequeathed to him on his death by William Conolly in 1729 and thereafter alternate eldest sons in the family were named Conolly. Modern McCausland family sources state that Robert was married to a daughter of Conolly but the latter was officially at least childless. Conolly did however support the families of his siblings which may be the connection. Evidently it was as neighbours that a rich London Jacobite banker came to know McCausland and present him with an important collection of pamphlets flagging the perils of creeping central power. From the inscription both men perceived the pamphlets as significant both in themselves and as a gift.<br />Lois G.

MCKEE, MAJOR JAMES COOPER [SURGEON, U S ARMY]
NARRATIVE OF THE SURRENDER OF A COMMAND OF U. S. FORCES AT FORT FILLMORE N.M. IN JULY A. D. 1861
Boston: Printed By John A. Lowell & CO. 1886. 1886. First edition. 11" x 8 3/4" Original plain stapled wrappers 32 pp. introductory maps index. Third edition according to Howes M125 and the only edition with maps. He also notes 300 copies printed but only a few have been on the rare book market. AE locates only the 1960 Houston edition and only one copy of the 1886 edition in 1922. Eberstadt’s had a copy of the 1886 edition in 1954. In our copy there is a long presentation note to Essex Institute Salem Mass.: "With the compliments of the author and request that this narrative be filed among your records of the Civil War for the use not only of the reading public but for the information and benefit of the Historian and future generations." Graff 2621. Nicholson p.586. Nevins I p.126: "Important only because it recounts a singular and unknown event in an isolated region." Tis book includes eye-witness accounts of the battle at Old Mesilla the first clash in the far west between Union and Confederate forces. In July 1861 Texas Confederates hit the Union outpost at Fort Filmore 40 miles north of El Paso. Under the command of Major Isaac Lynde the fort was surrendered after very little resistance and McKee a young Union surgeon privately published this bitter account. The first edition was printed in very small quantities for friends. This edition is the best edition and a well written account. McKee added an index and two maps not found in the first or second editions. All are very rare. A faint library stamp to the top corner of the front cover minor chipping and nicks to the cover fore-edges else a near fine tight copy. Printed By John A. Lowell & CO., 1886. unknown

Chicago: World's Columbian Exposition 1893. 1893. First edition. Original Photograph of Sitting Bull's log cabin where Sitting Bull was shot and killed December 15 1890. Cabinet Card. Image: 5.5"x3.875". Mount: 6.5"x4.25". Photograph shows Sitting Bull's log cabin with 6 men and three horses in front of or beside the cabin. All are dressed in coats with one man holding a rifle and another holding a pistol. All appear to be white men and likely soldiers or officers at Standing Rock Agency Fort Randall or Fort Yates. Printed across the blank top edge of the mount is the following: Sitting Bull's Log Cabin now on Exhibition at World's Fair Chicago 1893 owned by Sitting Bull Log Cabin Co. Mandan North Dakota." Across the bottom blank edge of mount is "Geo. E. Spencer U.S. Army Photo. Sitting Bull's Log Cabin Morning of the Fight. 7520 Ellis Ave. Chicago." Verso has scuffing to five 1" spots from past attachment and previous owner's name and address. Printed along top edge is "World's Columbian Exposition Chicago 1893. At bottom edge is printed "Agricultural Building." The Indian Agent for Standing Rock was James McLaughlin. With fears of Sitting Bull's intentions to join the rapidly growing Ghost Dance Craze McLaughlin ordered the Indian Police to go to Sitting Bull's cabin at dawn of December 15 1890 arrest him and return him to the agency. Following those orders 39 Indian Police surrounded Sitting Bull's cabin at dawn with the 3 officers knocking on the door before entering the cabin. They awoke Sitting Bull and informed him of their plans for his arrest and taking him to the agency. Eventually taking him outside in the interim many of Sitting Bull's supporters gathered to defend him. As the police attempted to force Sitting Bull to mount a horse a supporter shot the head officer Lt. Bull Head who in turn shot Sitting Bull in the side of the chest. As gunfire broke out 2nd Sgt. Red Tomahawk shot Sitting Bull in the back of the head. Within minutes Sitting Bull's supporters had killed or mortally wounded 6 of the police including 2 of the 3 officers. The Indian Police had killed Sitting Bull and 7 of his supporters. The police moved to the corral area for defense and awaited the arrival of the Army forces in order to safely return to the agency. As noted on the cabinet card Sitting Bull's cabin was disassembled and then moved to the World's Fair Exhibition in Chicago in 1893. Image is clean and clear in near fine condition. World's Columbian Exposition, 1893. unknown
