1912ref. 6326London United Kingdom: His Majesty's Stationery Office H.M.S.O. 1912. First Edition. hardcover. Good. N/A. Report of the Royal Commission on Divorce and Matrimonial Causes with Minutes of Evidence: Volumes I II & III Great Britain. Royal Commission on Divorce and Matrimonial Causes — 1st Edition Publication: London His Majesty's Stationery Office H.M.S.O. 1912 Formatting: Folio 4 command papers bound in 3 volumes. Condition Report: Good. The custom library cloth bindings are structurally sound and remarkably firm showing only mild shelf-wear light rubbing to the boards and minor bumping to the spine ends. Internally the text blocks remain tight; however there is noticeable foxing and age-toning that predominantly affects the preliminary leaves endpapers and title pages. Despite these cosmetic blemishes and the standard institutional cancellation stamps the primary text remains clean and highly legible making this a robust and functional set for study. Catalogue Note: First edition of the complete 1912 command papers Cd. 6478 6479 6480 and 6481 for the landmark Gorell Commission. This set comprises the primary Report bound alongside all three volumes of the Minutes of Evidence gathering the extensive testimony and findings that laid the groundwork for early twentieth-century British divorce law reform. The volumes feature the cancellation stamps of St. Deiniol's Residential Library in Hawarden the renowned institution founded by Prime Minister William E. Gladstone adding an excellent layer of political and institutional provenance. Complete contemporary sets containing both the report and the entirety of the evidence are scarce on the open market particularly in secure working bindings. Convened in 1909 under the chairmanship of Lord Gorell the Royal Commission on Divorce and Matrimonial Causes was a watershed inquiry in British family law. The Commission's findings famously recommended a significant expansion of divorce grounds and unprecedented legal equality for women. These massive volumes of evidence provide a fascinating unfiltered window into Edwardian social mores marital breakdown and the rigid legal framework of the era compiling testimony from judges clergy social workers and ordinary citizens. A vital and immensely detailed primary resource for historians of gender law and social policy. His Majesty's Stationery Office (H.M.S.O.) hardcover

ref. 017136Alfred Naquet (1834-1916), chimiste, médecin, homme politique, promoteur du divorce. L.A.S., Versailles, 16 mars 1874, 2pœ in-8. A Philippe Bordone (1821-1892), médecin, chirurgien militaire dit le général Bordone. Très intéressante lettre faisant suite à la révocation du maire de Cavaillon, Aimé Boussot (1812-1892), par Mac-Mahon en février et les magouilles politiques de l'époque (les élections de 1871 dans le Vaucluse avaient déjà été invalidées par exemple). « Mon cher Bordone, Décidément, vous avez le temps de compléter votre dossier. La commission devant laquelle j'ai comparu le matin et qui s'attache surtout jusqu'ici aux faits de Cavaillon et du Thor va mander le préfet et fera faire probablement une enquête administrative. La validation ne viendra donc pas encore et si cela nous prive pour quelques temps du plaisir d'entendre [Alexandre] Ledru[-Rollin], cela nous permettra d'écraser plus complètement nos adversaires. Il serait peut-être bon quand le préfet viendra que quelqu'un de Cavaillon et du Thor vienne en même temps. [Raoul de] Billioti a été entendu aujourd'hui. Il a eu l'infamie de dire que Boussot avait tenue une maison de prostitution. [Alphonse] Gent averti de ce fait a demandé à être entendu et le sera jeudi [19 mars] à 1 heure. Il a porté immédiatement à la connaissance de Boussot le fait en question en lui laissant le soin de faire comme il l'entendra. Mais notre avis à tous est qu'il devrait être ici jeudi. Il y a la matière à un procès en diffamation qu'il ne faut pas négliger. Voyez si vous pouvez décider Boussot à venir. Biliotti a dit encore que la terreur rouge réglait dans l'arrondissement d'Apt à ce point qu'il n'avait pu y trouver d'afficheurs ni distributeurs (à Pertuis). Il a dit enfin qu'on avait fait des radiations nombreuses sur les listes électorales. Et , comme on lui demandait pourquoi on n'avait pas surveillé, il répondait : « Chez nous on n'en a pas l'habitude » Il faudrait trouver le n° de l'union et surtout l'affiche apposée par les légitimistes et qui incitent les citoyens à aller se faire inscrire. Une telle affiche a été apposée sur les murs d'Avignon. Ce sera la réponse. Ecrivez-moi. Tout à vous A Naquet ». Peu commun [401]

A Philippe Bordone (1821-1892), médecin, chirurgien militaire dit le général Bordone. Longue et très intéressante lettre autour des tentatives d'invalidation des élections législatives dans le Vaucluse. Il indique comment rencontrer Alexandre Ledru-Rollin (1807-1874), député du Vaucluse depuis le 1er mars, qui vit à Fontenay-aux-Roses, mentionnant Jean-Baptiste Saint-Martin (1840-1926), futur député du Vaucluse, les « infamies commises » par les légitimistes (non nommés ici mais il s'agit bien d'eux) qu'il faut documenter précisément afin que Naquet en parle à la tribune de l'assemblée.
