1745réf. 583Anno Regni GEORGII II REGIS Magnae Britaniiae Franciae & Hiberniae DECIMO OCTAVO. At the Parliament Begun and holden at Westminster the First Day of December Anno Domini 1741 in the Fifteenth Year of our Sovereign Lord GEORGE the Second by the Grace of God of Great Britain France and Ireland King Defender of the Faith. FIRST EDITION 2 483-486 woodcut coat of arms on title woodcut floriated initial text in black letter folio 320 x 200mm London Thomas Baskett 1745 The third Act to be published on the Northwest Passage the act of 1745 offered the enormous sum of £20000 for the discovery of a north-west passage providing that they were a British subject. The preamble to the Act stated the expected economic benefits of the discovery of the passage and that it would be "a great encouragement to adventurers" to offer a prize. The allocated sum was £20000 to be paid to the owners of the first ships to successfully make such a passage. The Board of Longitude existed from 1714 until 1828 after the original Act of Parliament was passed in 1714. First added to in 1741 the act was subsequently amended or repealed and replaced on numerous occasions until the Board was dissolved by Act of Parliament in 1828. This Act established a group of commissioners to determine the validity of any claims and restricted the scope of the Act to only apply to British subjects. It further required all British subjects to provide help and assistance to the explorers when necessary. In setting a hefty monetary reward and promoting the potential benefits to society this act of Parliament likely intensified the Northwest Passage fervour and motivated explorers to venture deep into the Arctic. When the Act was extended in 1775 and the reward reiterated Cook took up the mantle leading to his third voyage. Thomas Baskett
1918réf. 165701918. Representation of the People Act 1918 1918 documents the statutory transformation of British electoral democracy at the close of the First World War granting parliamentary voting rights to women over thirty who met property qualifications while extending the franchise to men over twenty-one. The Act records the legal mechanism by which decades of women's suffrage agitation entered parliamentary law revealing how electoral reform operated through age sex residence and property qualifications and providing primary-source evidence for the study of women's political rights wartime citizenship and the expansion of representative government in Britain. Representation of the People Act 1918. 8 Geo. 5. Ch. 64. London: Printed by Percy Lund Humphries & Co. Ltd. for Norman Gibb Scorgie C.V.O. C.B.E. Controller of His Majesty's Stationery Office and King's Printer of Acts of Parliament 1918. First edition. 161 pages. Original paper wrappers. 9.5 x 6 inches. 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. A major parliamentary document for the study of women's suffrage postwar citizenship and the legal architecture of modern British electoral reform. unknown

réf. 18179AE's five letters on letterheads of 30 Ennismore Gardens S.W. London 3; and Spring Bank Oldham 2; four of them from between 1905 and 1907 the other undated. GHE's letter on letterhead of 35 Grosvenor Road Claughton Birkenhead; 1903. The six items totalling 9pp. are in fair condition on lightly-aged paper George H. Emmott's letter having slight wear at head. The recipient was Charles J. Holdsworth of Sunnyside Wilmslow Cheshire. AE's first letter responds briefly to Holdsworth's congratulations on Emmott's appointment as Chairman of the Ways and Means Committee; the second letter sends what 'appears to be an old scrap book of Henry King's' Holdsworth's uncle with reference to 'old Friends' books of his'; the third no more than a note states his 'only objection' as 'publication in the newspaper' ; the fourth and longest at two full 4to pages gives his views 27 April 1907 on 'Haldane's Territorial & Reserve Forces Bill': 'I do not vote on account of my official post but I do not want to pass by this communication from the Society of Friends without acknowledgment'. He is not commenting as he is 'out of political strife for the time being' but is 'tempted to say privately that I am told the number of volunteers from boys who have been in Cadet Corps is far smaller proportionately than from the general male population. The reason stated is that military training even of that imperfect kind lessens rather than increases the military spirit. I wonder if it really is so. If it is we need not fear the moral effect of military training very much. For any danger but that of the military spirit is not to be feared & the physical results are good enough.' AE's fifth letter refers Holdsworth to his brother George who with his wife will probably know 'who took most of these books'. George H. Emmott's letter dated 12 July 1903 is 3pp. 8vo and discusses AE's school days at the Quaker School in Kendal: 'I remember however that on one occasion when his half yearly report came home it contained the remark from Henry Thompson that he combined the good qualities of both his elder brothers - meaning I believe my studiousness and love of books and our brother John's love of games & outdoor exercise. I do not know how it arose but his nickname at school where he was quite a general favourite wwas "Madam" .'. AE's five letters on letterheads of 30 Ennismore Gardens, S.W.

Dall'introduzione: "Il primo volume di quest'opera si apre con un saggio critico sulla crisi del Parlamento italiano, la cui parte introduttiva documenta la unanimità delle critiche da parte dei gruppi politici, dopo un abbastanza largo compendio di storia parlamentare in un secolo (1848 - 1948), il volume si chiude con la esposizione critica delle vicende della Camera italiana durante le quattro legislature della Repubblica; il secondo volume offre tutta una serie di documentazioni inedite, dati per la prima volta raccolti, di curiosità utili al conseguimento di un valido quadro, intorno all'attività e al funzionamento della Camera italiana dal 1948 al 1968. ... La crisi, funzionale, strutturale, pianta purtroppo le sue radici nel costume stesso della Nazione e innalza i suoi fastigi fino ai vertici dello Stato. ..." Ben più che interessante, in ottimo stato, con un significativo corredo iconografico, impreziosita dalla dedica autografa di Giorgio Almirante.

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 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.
