1817réf. AQ27622London: s.n. 1817. 63pp 1. Disbound. Later resewn. Terminal leaf creased. The report of a parliamentary committee appointed to evaluate the condition of the state of trade and establishments of the African Company issued four years prior its ultimate dissolution by the British Government in 1821. With the exception of the major forts such as Cape Coast Castle many British forts were not particularly well defended nor maintained and as such their efficacy as a deterrent to slave traders greatly diminished. Parliament frustrated by this reduced effectiveness pursued a policy of reducing the number of African Company settlements through the abandonment of any upon strict inquiry not found to be of service in a sufficient degree to warrant their expenditure.

Foolscap folio viii 246 pp. edges uncut; bound in half crimson morocco by Sangorski and Sutcliffe original printed wrappers bound in at the end. Detailed report of New Zealand affairs from April 1850 to August 1851 providing an overview of this pivotal era in New Zealand history marking a transition from early unstructured settlement toward a more organized Anglican-led colonial identity and the first steps toward self-governance. Governor George Grey was under immense pressure from the Settlers' Constitutional Associations while this period also saw the arrival of the "First Four Ships" in Lyttelton in December 1850 and pressure from the newly formed Canterbury Association to create a "slice of England" in the South Island complete with a structured social hierarchy and a strong Anglican Church presence. Of special interest are reports for the introduction of Maori representation in government and parliament presentations from Queen Victoria to various native chiefs the acquisition of lands by the New Zealand Company and the settlement of pensioner emigrants in New Zealand. .

1791réf. 15177London; Printed by and for W. Woodfall 1791. 1791. First edition. Duodecimo pp. 2 123 1. Later maroon quarter calf over terracotta buckram; titled in gilt to spine; all edges sprinkled blue; marbled end-papers. Binding a little tight but strong the corners sharp. First and final leaves evenly toned; very occasional spots to margin but contents otherwise fresh. A clean copy in a near-fine rebind. The first edition of the landmark report on Wilberforce's first abortive bill to abolish slavery. This book contains an account of Wilberforce's legendary four-hour speech condemning the slave trade. Wilberforce had spoken vigorously against slavery since 1789 and had chaired a select committee on the subject of the trade in 1790 but this debate in 1791 was the first outing in the Commons for his Abolition Bill. As his biographer writes 'On April 18 in a four-hour speech that showed his mastery of the evidence and arguments Wilberforce moved for leave to bring in an Abolition Bill. Subsequent debate was lively and extended over two evenings but when the house voted at 3.30 on the morning of 20 April Wilberforce was defeated by 163 to 88 votes. The outbreak both of revolution in France and early in 1791 of a slave rebellion in the French colony of San Domingo Haiti had heightened insecurities and led the majority of M. P. s to oppose a measure that they perceived as potentially destabilizing.' ODNB. An important document in the history of Abolition. Scarce in commerce. The end of p. 60 ends 'and of such' and 3 page references to Pitt on p.124 conforming with ESTC N24631. London; Printed by and for W. Woodfall, 1791. hardcover

RWO. Shelved in Netdesk Office Case #1. A collection of ten acts passed by Parliament between 1833 and 1871 privately bound with holograph annotations in margins. Collection prefaced by the text of the Thames Valley Drainage Act of 1871 and all successive acts bound-in are related to the history and content of the 1871 Act. Appears to have been privately bound by Robert Harding Milward a Birmingham solicitor whose career ended ignominiously in 1903 following revelations of fraudulent activity. His precise role if any in the authoring passage or implementation is unclear but presumably relates to his role as solicitor in the funding of public works projects. 1365495.

1784réf. 20795London: J. Debrett 1784. 37 1 advt pp. Disbound a couple of spots else Very Good. First and only edition. "Considers the question whether the system of a strong responsible parliamentary administration should be restored" NUC. In England ministers are "responsible to parliament for their conduct and looking up to parliament for support; and not as in despotic governments the mere instruments of the will of an arbitrary master." This is "the great palladium of the Constitution." The author attacks "Lord B." Bute and the King for subverting this system during the events leading to the American Revolution and giving the executive arm of government over to "men ever unfriendly to liberty." FIRST EDITION.

1562réf. 2557Cambray: Nicolas Lombard 1562. First edition. Papered spine. With contemporary underlines throughout and occasional marginal notes in ink. Upper outer corners stained and chipped throughout first leaves with small loss. Closed tear on the title page not affecting the text. Overall in very good condition. First edition. Papered spine. ff. 14 2 blank. Sign.: A–D4 D3–4 blank. First edition of this scarce and important document of the French Wars of Religion. A protest against the Edict of Toleration also known as the Edict of January or Saint-Germain which was issued by the French Crown on January 17 1562 after a long series of repressive measures against the Protestant Huguenots in order to restore peace in the kingdom torn by civil and religious dissensions. The registration process of the edict led to the bitterest legislative struggles of the century between the Parlement and the Crown. After a vote on 7 February the Parlement very Catholic refused to verify or publish the edict and on 12 February a remonstrance the present publication was drawn up and sent to the Court. Eventually the Parlement had to capitulate and the edict was registered on March 6 five days after the Massacre of Vassy which triggered the first of the series of eight civil wars lasting some thirsty-six years in France the Wars of Religion. The Edict of Tolerance remained a reference for the Huguenots in the later negotiations between them and the royal power and became the foundation of the subsequent toleration edicts such as the Edict of Ambroise the resolution of the first war in 1563 and the Edict of Nantes which marked the end of the period of the French Wars of Religion in 1598. Seemingly two different editions 16- and 24-leaves were published by Lombard in 1562. Due to their substantial similarities the presence or lack of the last blank leaves and the peculiar dating “mil cinq cens soixante & un” the bibliographies list these editions under at least six different entries dated 1561 or 1562 later editions also by Lombard appeared in 1565 and 1566.
