1734ref. 49723London. 1734-1762. Regulations for the English Navy A nice collection of British Acts of Parliament relating to the Royal Navy or related seagoing activities. The dominance of the British Royal Navy was unquestioned from the late 1600s until well into the 20th century. These mid 18th-century acts were printed at a time when the British Navy was swiftly ascending to the peak of its power through superior financing tactics training organization population support hygiene dockyard facilities logistical support and warship design and construction. By the early 19th century the British Navy saw little action mainly due to the lack of a worthy adversary.

1701ref. 29809London: Printed for Edward Jones and Timothy Goodwin 1701. With Details on the Commissioning of Captain Kidd Proceedings in the House of Commons regarding the impeachment of the Earl of Portland the Earl of Orford Lord Somers and Lord Halifax in March-April 1701. The Earl of Portland was one of the main negotiators of the Second Partition Treaty which sought to stave off what became the War of Spanish Succession. The treaty was wildly unpopular in England and after its signing discontent among the public and in the House of Commons led to impeachment proceedings against Portland along with Orford Somers and Halifax who were said to be cognizant of the negotiations. Orford for his part was accused of aiding and encouraging William Kidd and of failing to press his advantage against the French. Orford admitted to commissioning Kidd as a privateer but denied authorising his piratical activities and claimed to be unaware of the pirate's "ill Fame and Reputation." Somers and Orford were eventually acquitted and the charges against Portland and Halifax were dismissed. Folio.

1801ref. 845821801. A Rare Pamphlet Discussing an 1801 Act that Banned Ordained Church of England Ministers from Election to the House of Commons Great Britain. Parliament. A Review of the Principles on Which the Clergy are Excluded From Sitting in the House of Commons: With a Few Cursory Observations on Residence. In a Letter to a Friend. London: Printed by J. Barfield Printer to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales for T. Reynolds 1801. 51 1 pp. Publisher advertisements to last page. Octavo 8-1/4" x 5"; 21 x 13 cm. Disbound stab-stitched pamphlet. Moderate toning negligible light soiling to exterior leaves just starting to separate at ends but secure. A good copy of a rare title. $350. Only edition. This pamphlet was written in response to the Clergy Disqualification Act of 1801 which formally banned ordained members of the Church of England from election to the House of Commons. The status of ministers in other denominations was left ambiguous as was the status of Anglican clergymen elected prior to the Act's passage. The work disagrees with proponents of the Act arguing that the election of clergy ties the clergy to the state and creates a shared sense of civic unity. Banning the election of clergy on the other hand creates a diminished and disaffected class of citizens and deprives constituents of the liberty to select from the widest possible array of candidates. The Act would not be overturned until 2001. This is a rare title. OCLC locates 2 copies Harvard University of Cambridge. No copies listed on Library Hub. unknown books

The Select Committee on the State of Public Records was commissioned by the House of Commons in 1800 to assess the location condition and types of public records in the United Kingdom. Though public record keeping was an important tradition in Britain there had been no comprehensive parliamentary proceedings on the matter since the 1731 Cotton Library fire. Chaired by Charles Abbot a barrister politician and Fellow of the Royal Society and supported by a number of prominent clerks librarians and lawyers the committee began investigating in February and submitted its first report on July 4th 1800. A second report was issued soon after. The committee found that the kingdom's public records covered a significant period of time with some dating to the Domesday Book but that there were serious issues with storage indexing and cataloguing that made them difficult to access and often in danger of succumbing to fire or dampness. It recommended the creation and construction of specialized public record offices the standardization of record keeping and administrative practices and the compilation and printing of indexes and calendars to guide researchers. Both reports were republished at the request of the House of Lords in March 1801. The committee's work led to the establishment of the Record Commissions which would operate from 1800-1837 and produce a number of important publications. These in turn gave way to the Public Record Office now the National Archives of the UK. unknown books

1767ref. 1098111767. First Edition. CUSTOMS COMMISSIONERS ACT. Act to enable His Majesty to put the Customs and other Duties in the British Dominions in America and the Execution of the Laws relating to Trade there under the Management of Commissioners. London: Mark Baskett 1767. Folio 20th-century marbled stiff paper boards. $3200.Rare first printing of the 1767 Customs Commissioners Act one of the controversial Townshend Acts that united patriot opposition to British rule and provoked the Boston Massacre.Following the Stamp Act which had united colonial opinion against British authority ""as no issue beforeÉ a new period of agitation began in 1767 with the passage of the Townshend Acts"" Morison Sources xv. Engineered by Charles Townshend Chancellor of the Exchequer these were intended to raise revenue from the American colonies by imposing duties on goods Americans were already forced to import only from England punish New York's opposition to the Quartering Act and establish a board of customs commissioners in America. This is the first printing of that Customs Commissioners Act. ""To guarantee that colonial duties raised as much money as he had promised to Parliament Townshend was tightening control over America's slack customs procedures"" by appointing commissioners in England and sending them to Boston ""with broad powers. Since colonial jurors rarely convicted a local merchant of smuggling Townshend's acts set up new admiralty courts that could try smugglers without a jury. And the acts made it easier for customs officials to obtain writs of assistance"" Langguth 93. In addition ""the moneys thus raised in the coloniesÉ were to be usedÉ to render the royal governors and judges independent of colonial assemblies"" Morison xv. To Samuel Adams ""these new commissioners of customs were 'the greatest political curses that could be sent amongst usÉ From the time the acts took effect November 20 1767 many Bostonians had been boycotting luxury goods from Britain by signing a 'nonimportation agreementÉ Stricter enforcement at the customs offices was drawing off hard currency from America and bad times were spreading across the colonies"" Langguth 94 102-103. With increased colonial opposition to the Customs Commissioners Act and other Townshend laws ""the customs administration to enforce them became especially in ports like BostonÉ increasingly militarized"" provoking merchants such as John Hancock into ""calling one of his sloops Liberty and flaunting his intention of 'running Madeira ashore"" Schama History of Britain II:463. The day after the Liberty was seized by customs officials Sam Adams was overheard challenging the crowd ""If you are men behave like men. Let us take up arms immediately and be free and seize all the king's officers"" Langguth 98. With the Board of Commissioners of the Customs headquartered in Boston the city became the ""rowdiest of all the centers of protest"" and those who broke the boycott were often tarred and feathered. As tempers grew shorter and customs officers were accused of bribery and extortion matters often ""got completely out of control. On 23 February 1770 an eleven-year-old boy Christopher Seider joined by a noisy protest of schoolboys and apprentices outside the shop of an importerÉ was shot dead by a customs officer"" and his funeral turned into a mass protest led by Sam Adams. Only one month later on March 5th amidst these already heightened tensions ""a wigmaker's apprentice ragged a soldier all the way to the Custom House for an allegedly unpaid bill. When a guard struck the pursuing youth a tocsin normally used as a fire alarm was sounded and mobilized a large and angry crowd"" Schama History of Britain II 463. In the melee that followed the redcoats opened fire killing fiveÑamong them Crispus AttucksÑand the day would be memorialized in history as the Boston Massacre. Printed in gothic type indicative of the first edition. This first printing excised from the Sessional Volumes of Parliament pages 563-66 precedes all American printings. Minor rubbing spine.

1562ref. 1278941562. HENRY VIII PARLIAMENT. Acts. Anno XXXIIII et. V. Henrici VIII. London: T. Powell 1562. Slim folio 8 by 11-1/2 inches modern full brown morocco. $3800.Early edition of the Parliamentary Acts of 1542 featuring 25 acts featuring the important Act for the Advancement of True Religion and the first English act dealing with Bankruptcy finely printed in black-letter with lovely historiated woodcut initials.The first and most important act passed by the Parliament in 1542 banned the reading or owning of the Bible in EnglishÑat that point Tyndale's translationÑin England for most of the population. Exceptions were made for the clergy the gentry wealthy merchants and the wives of the gentry and nobility who were only allowed to read it in private effectively barring the Bible in English from the vast majority of the population. By the time of the act's passage Tyndale was already dead executed near Brussels in 1536 after being convicted of heresy for his promotion of theology influenced by Martin Luther. And Tyndale himself had never actually published a full Bible in English having only managed individual publications of the New Testament the Pentateuch and a few other books of the bible; the first full Bible in English was actually produced by Miles Coverdale in 1536 based heavily on Tyndale's earlier publications. The act also banned numerous other categories of books although it did provide exceptions for ""statutes and lawes of the realme cronicles Canturbury tales Chaucers bookes Gowers bookes and stories of menns lives."" The acts from this year are also notable for containing the Statute of Bankrupts the first codification of law for bankruptcy in England. First published in 1543 with several editions or issues following soon after; this is one of two editions published in 1562. Without the acts for Wales. STC 9409.
