Best.-Nr. 107603London George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode 1847. . Folio 30 x 19 cm; woodcut royal coat of arms single leaf; a few small tears to upper margin not affecting text unbound. An act of Parliament confirming the validity of 'Marriages amongst the People called Quakers and amongst Persons professing the Jewish Religion'. The statute was drafted in response to the notorious 1844 case of R vs. Millis in which the House of Lords held that all marriages conducted without the presence of a member of clergy in holy orders were invalid in English common law. The effect was to throw doubt on the legitimacy of the marriages of all Jews and Quakers. William Christie 1816-874 the Liberal MP for Weymouth brought in a motion to dispel these concerns which was duly codified into law as 10 & 11 Vic. c.58. London, George E. Eyre and William Spottiswoode, 1847. unknown

A Louis d'Aumont de Rochebaron (1667-1723), duc d'aumont, alors ambassadeur extraordinaire du roi à Londres : « Monsieur, J'ai l'honneur de vous envoyer un mémoire sur la plupart des points dont vous m'avez parlé. Si vous ne recevez pas des réponses avec la même exactitude qu'elles se donnent à la cour de France, attribuez cela, s'il vous plait, à la constitution de notre gouvernement, qui nous oblige de veiller tant à nos affaires domestiques que nous sommes quelques fois obligés malgré nous de faire trainer celles qui sont étrangères. Je suis plus parfaitement que personne, Monsieur, votre très humble et très obéissant serviteur. Bolingbroke. Le conseil fini, je serai à mon bureau assez avant la nuit. Demain je serai à mon conseil qui se tient chez monsieur de Dartmouth à midi ». Très intéressante lettre, peu après le traité d'Utrecht, probablement pour régler les derniers détails. [554]

1818Best.-Nr. 24993London: John Baskett and others printers 1818. 12 works folio. 12 1/2 x 8 inches and smaller. Disbound or stitched A fascinating series spanning the whole of the period when whaling was carried out on a successful commercial basis in the waters off Greenland. After an abortive start by the South Sea Company between 1724 and 1732 the British whaling fleet operated off Greenland and the Davis Strait throughout the remainder of the 18th century with increasing success due to a large degree to the succession of bounties granted to ship owners by the British Government. The present selection of acts of parliament includes a number concerning the bounty: the first dated 16th January 1732 makes law "that a Bounty will be paid on the Return of every Ship of 200 tons and over imployed by His Majesty's Subjects in the Whale Fishery". For the bounty to be paid certain stringent criteria had to be met; these increased as the century progressed. By the time of the last Act in the present group March 1818 the Greenland whalers were reporting declining catches and were already beginning to turn their attention to other whaling grounds i.e. largely in the Pacific and Antarctic. This group offers and interesting series of snapshots of the industry during its most productive century. The acts comprise: 1. An Act for encouraging the Greenland Fishery. 1732. Stitched later wrappers. Exemption from duty extended for a nine year period. 2. An Act for the further Encouragment of the Whale Fishery carried on by His Majesty's British Subjects. 1733.
