A beautifully-bound scarce anti-Catholic pamphlet. References: Wing 1996 V725; ESTC No. R7957. ~PPP~ A first edition copy of the 1681 broadside issued anonymously by the radical Whigs during the Restoration period in England containing a series of Whig-oriented petitions to the members of the Oxford Parliament. The principal theme of these petitions was stated as 'No Popish Successor no French Slavery.' Though purporting to speak for 'the people' the anonymous author makes clear that this does not refer to the 'hoi polloi' but rather to citizens of some means. In the preface the author notes that 'some people have lately spoken contemptuously of the populace calling them the rabble . . . the dregs of mankind.' These terms are applied to 'persons without estates' who are assumed to be without 'reason and judgment' but he argues he is writing on behalf of 'men of large estates well-bred gentlemen merchants . . . and rich and substantial yeomen and freeholders.' The Restoration of the English monarchy began when the English Scottish and Irish monarchies were all restored under Charles II after the Interregnum that followed the Wars of the Three Kingdoms.

Printed circular and subscription announcing to Pittsburgh’s citizens a meeting of the Board of Trustees to raise money to hire Gilbert Morgan the second chancellor of what is today University of Pittsburgh. Testimonials give on behalf of Morgan were made by Theodore D. Weld Dr. Miller of Princeton Rev. Breckenridge Rev. Uffold and so forth. The trustees announce: “The undersigned approve heartily of that part of Mr. Morgan’s plan which would impart a more popular cast to the Institution by enlarging the range of studies and yielding a prominent place and consideration to such as may be turned to account in active life in whatever sphere. Our citizens have had too much reason perhaps to regard it heretofore as something which stood apart in lofty seclusion from their pursuits and and sympathies. This erroneous notion will be discarded and a deep interest claimed from all in that which is designed for the common benefit of all.” “The University’s buildings along with most of its records and files were destroyed in a widespread 1845 fire that wiped out 20 square blocks of the most valuable part of Pittsburgh.” Wikipedia Unrecorded in OCLC. unknown
