1824Best.-Nr. 6000004London: George Eyre and Andrew Strahan 1824. Folio pp ii added general title-page for the parliamentary year 737-756; unbound neat paper spine. A crucial landmark in the creation of the Australian Agricultural Company and the first official use of the great company's name. Two months earlier the House of Commons had passed a bill incorporating "The Australian Company of London" which this overrides Ferguson 949. The Australian Agricultural Company or AACo played a huge role in shaping the early Australian economy. From its establishment in 1824 it was responsible for the development and expansion of the Hunter Valley and other regions. Surviving all the rural challenges - including droughts economic depressions and labour shortages - its long-term impact on early Australia was substantial in establishing agriculture as a primary industry and contributing to Australia's economy famously "riding on the sheep's back". AACo continues to be a significant player in today's agricultural sector today as Australia's largest integrated cattle and beef producer owning and operating approximately 7 million hectares of land in Queensland and the Northern Territory. This vast landholding represents roughly 1% of Australia's land mass highlighting the company's substantial presence in the country's agricultural landscape. . George Eyre and Andrew Strahan unknown

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.

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]
