AMERICAN REVOLUTION PARLIAMENTBiblio.com

Customs Commissioners Act

1767réf. 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. Very nearly fine condition. hardcover

HENRY VIII PARLIAMENTBiblio.com

Acts. Anno XXXIII et. V. Henrici VIII

1562réf. 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. Foxing to a few leaves mild dampstaining to inner margin of some early leaves but text readable and clear; handsomely bound. Rare. unknown
