A group of eight petitions submitted to the Court of Directors of the East India Company. Each dealing with general issues of service and promotion within the officer corps and conditions in the army. The petitions appear to have been in response to the attempt of the government's minister for Indian affairs Henry Dundas to alter the regulations of military service in India. This would have had considerable impact on the officer ranks in the service of the East India Company. The petitions were printed in London in 1795 as part of the parliamentary papers. They all bear docketed titles as follows: 1- Memorial of the Officers stationed at Futty Ghur No. 2; 2- Memorial from the Officers stationed at Chunar Ghurr No. 3; 3- Memorial from the Officers at Cawnpore No. 4; 4- Memorial from the Officers at Dinapore No. 5; 5- Memorial of the Officers stationed at Berhampore No. 6; 6- Memorial from the Officers of Artillery of the Bengal Establishment No. 7; 7- Memorial from the Officers on the Fort St. George Establishment No. 8; 8-Memorial from the Officers on the Bombay Establishment No. 9.

1831ref. 19854London 1831. FIRST PRINTING. Drop title; with a number of contemporary annotations corrections on Schedules A and B pp. 26-27. Sewn as issued preserved in a folding case. First printing of the final revisions to the Great Reform Bill. This was the second bill put up for a Parliamentary vote. The initial version of the bill March 1831 was rejected by Parliament. The Great Reform Bill of 1831 also known as the Reform Act was a significant piece of legislation in the United Kingdom aimed at addressing the deficiencies in the electoral system. Before the bill representation in Parliament was heavily skewed with many industrial cities lacking adequate representation while rural areas held disproportionate power. The bill sought to expand the electorate improve representation and reduce the influence of "rotten boroughs" which were sparsely populated constituencies that had the same voting power as more populous areas. The bill proposed to extend the franchise to more men particularly those in the burgeoning middle class and aimed to redistribute parliamentary seats to reflect population changes especially due to the industrial revolution. Although it faced fierce opposition from the House of Lords public pressure and widespread protests highlighted the demand for reform. The rejection of the initial version of the bill led to a wave of public agitation and a second attempt which was again passed by the House of Commons and rejected by the House of Lords. Ultimately this third version passed after the government threatened to create new peers to secure its approval in the House of Lords. The Great Reform Bill marked a pivotal moment in British political history laying the groundwork for future electoral reforms and increasing public participation in the democratic process. unknown

Il settimo opuscolo è una lettera scritta dall’Arcivescovo di Utrecht ad un ecclesiastico francese ignoto, in cui il prelato tratta delle questioni correnti nella Chiesa, tra cui il giansenismo. Gli opuscoli ottavo e nono sono rimostranze che il Parlamento normanno indirizzò a Luigi XVI riguardo l’imposizione di nuove imposte, mentre l’ultimo opuscolo è il discorso d’insediamento tenuto da Monsignor Le Franc de Pompignac davanti all’Accademia di Francia e il discorso in risposta a questo tenuto da M.

In-12 °, collection of ten pamphlets, contemporary calf binding, bands, label and gilt title on the spine, red edges, good copy, ex libris on the endpaper (back side). It is a collection of pamphlets of various subjects, the first six of which concern the mismanagement of the Jesuits in the Spanish and Portuguese overseas territories and the related letters of complaints addressed to the ecclesiastical authorities, the intervention of Benedict XIV in this matter with the appointment of Francisco De Saldanha as cardinal of Lisbon and the reform of the Society of Jesus in Portugal made by him. The seventh pamphlet is a letter written by the Archbishop of Utrecht to an unknown French clergyman, in which the prelate deals with current issues in the Church, including Jansenism. The eighth and ninth pamphlets are grievances that the Norman Parliament addressed to Louis XVI regarding the imposition of new taxes, while the last pamphlet is the inauguration speech given by M. Le Franc de Pompignac before the French Academy and the speech in response to this given by M. Dupré de Saint Maure, President of the Academy.
1860ref. 3220414Wood-engraved single sheet panorama in four strips 565 x 450 mm crudely coloured and folded with title at top left some splitting to joints; in the original green publisher's wrapper titled in black lower wrapper lacking some chipping to edges and lightly dust-soiled but a remarkable survival nonetheless. Rare panorama depicting the State Opening of Parliament likely sold on the day to crowds lining the procession route. The panorama itself presented as four strips one above the other on a single sheet has been printed from the same blocks as another we have seen by T. Goode but with new references set beneath the panorama image see below. The procession advances from right to left with the Queen accompanied by Prince Albert and captioned where appropriate: 'Entrance to Parliament House'; 'Beefeaters'; 'Carriage of the Prime Minister'; 'Herald'; 'Her Majesty's Spokeman's Carriage'; 'Officer of the Life Guardsmen'; 'Queen's Carriage'; 'Life Guardsmen'; and 'Lord John Russell's Carriage.' The procession advances from r. to l. The Queen is accompanied by Prince Albert. Earlier the block for 'Beefeaters' had been used for T. Goode's 'Panorama of the Lord Mayor's Show'; as too had the block for 'Her Majesty's Spokesman's Carriage' previously uncaptioned and 'Lord John Russell's Carriage' previously 'The Recorder in his Carriage' explaining why Lord Russell seems to be holding a mace. It would be the Horse Guards who would have taken part in the procession; the beefeaters would have been awaiting the monarch in the House of Lords. It is curious to note that the 'Entrance to Parliament House' bears no resemblance to the Royal Entrance in Victoria Tower and instead looks more like the Soane entrance but that was destroyed in the fire of 1838 so perhaps more evidence of earlier blocks being repurposed. In the London directories William Sutton's name replaces Georgina Duggan's at 2 Bartlett's Passage in 1860. The Prime Minister at the time was Palmerston and Lord John Russell was Foreign Secretary. The panorama also represents one of the final depictions of Queen Victoria accompanied by Prince Albert who died in 1861. Not in OCLC. W. Sutton, (late G.
