The printed Act sets out the revised parliamentary franchise registration procedures voting rules redistribution provisions and related administrative structures that governed the enlarged electorate. Its significance lies not only in the admission of approximately 8.5 million women to the electorate but also in the unequal structure of that admission: women's voting rights remained restricted by age and qualification while men received a broader franchise. Passed after a long suffrage campaign that included constitutional lobbying mass organizing civil disobedience imprisonment and militant protest the Act marked a decisive but incomplete victory for women's suffrage in the United Kingdom. Original wrappers with expected minor handling wear; internally sound very good.

1783réf. 113275No place: no printer identified 1783. Pro bono work First and apparently only edition of this speech promoting the establishment in Toulouse of an order of lawyers offering free legal representation to the poor a "league of generous defenders of the oppressed and destitute". When Maître Gez c.1700-1792 gave this speech to his peers at the Parlement in Toulouse he had already constituted a group of thirty-two lawyers providing free counsel to the poor. The group was divided into two chambers according to seniority and met monthly. Appealing to the generosity of his peers to form a society of men dedicated to the pursuit of justice and set free from the "domination of greed" Gez cites as models to follow Montesquieu Beccaria and Servan as well as the Bareau of the city of Nancy which had already implemented a similar system. Jean Nicolas Joseph Abraham Gez had a long career at the Bar and was made a member of the Académie des Sciences Inscriptions et Belles Lettres de Toulouse in 1785. Quarto 238 x 190 mm 21 pp. Engraved vignette at head of first leaf. Disbound and stab sewn through the original stab holes. Small marginal stain to first leaf top corner with small stain; a very good copy. unknown
