1800Best.-Nr. 8691800. Second Edition. London: printed by W. Stratford sold Cadell and Davies 1800. 4 47 pp. Neatly bound in later marbled boards cloth spine lettered in gilt. A fine copy. Surprisingly rare pamphlet no first edition located censorious of the enjoyment afforded the lower classes by the spectacle of torture inflicted on dumb animals in this case the unspeakable cruelties of bull-baiting. The attempt to outlaw bull-baiting figured significantly in the contest in England between reform and reaction at the time of the French Revolution. Advocated by Wilberforce and others the bill was defeated by conservative ideologies such as Edmund Burke and acolyte William Wyndham who foresaw in the abolition of such brutality the erosion of the traditions which supposedly bound the lower classes to the existing social order.

Like many Puritans abhorring decadent celebrations Prynne was strongly opposed to religious feast days including Christmas and revelry such as stage plays He included in his Histriomastix 1632 a denunciation of actresses which was widely felt to be an attack of Queen Henrietta Maria. This book led to the most famous incidents in his life but the timing was accidental. About 1624 Prynne had begun a book against stage-plays; on 31 May 1630 he obtained a license to print it and about November 1632 it was published. Histriomastix is a volume of over a thousand pages showing that plays were unlawful incentives to immorality and condemned by the scriptures Church Fathers modern Christian writers and pagan philosophers. By chance the queen and her ladies in January 1633 took part in the performance of Walter Montagu's The Shepherd's Paradise: this was an innovation at court. A passage reflecting on the character of female actors in general was construed as an aspersion on the queen; passages which attacked the spectators of plays and magistrates who failed to suppress them pointed by references to Nero and other tyrants were taken as attacks on the king Charles I. William Noy as attorney-general instituted proceedings against Prynne in the Star-chamber. After a year's imprisonment in the Tower of London he was sentenced 17 February 1634 to be imprisoned during life to be fined to be expelled from Lincoln's Inn to be deprived of his degree by the university of Oxford and to lose both his ears in the pillory. Prynne was pilloried on 7 May and 10 May. On 11 June he addressed to Archbishop Laud whom he regarded as his chief persecutor a letter charging him with illegality and injustice. Laud handed the letter to the attorney-general as material for a new prosecution but when Prynne was required to own his handwriting he contrived to get hold of the letter and tore it to pieces. In the Tower Prynne wrote and published anonymous tracts against episcopacy and against the Book of Sports. In one he introduced Noy's recent death as a warning. Elsewhere he attacked prelates in general 1635. An anonymous attack on Matthew Wren bishop of Norwich brought him again before the Star-chamber. On 14 June 1637 Prynne was sentenced once more to a fine to imprisonment for life and to lose the rest of his ears. At the proposal of Chief-justice John Finch he was also to be branded on the cheeks with the letters S. L. signifying 'seditious libeller'. Prynne was pilloried on 30 June in company with Henry Burton and John Bastwick and Prynne was handled barbarously by the executioner. He made as he returned to his prison a couple of Latin verses explaining the 'S. L.' with which he was branded to mean 'stigmata laudis' sign of praise. He was released by the Long Parliament in 1640. The House of Commons declared the two sentences against him illegal restored him to his degree and to his membership of Lincoln's Inn and voted him pecuniary reparation as late as October 1648 he was still trying to collect it. He supported the Parliamentary cause in the English Civil War particularly in the press and in many pamphlets while still pursuing the bishops. Printed at London : For M.S hardcover

1801Best.-Nr. 845821801. A Rare Pamphlet Discussing an 1801 Act that Banned Ordained Church of England Ministers from Election to the House of Commons Great Britain. Parliament. A Review of the Principles on Which the Clergy are Excluded From Sitting in the House of Commons: With a Few Cursory Observations on Residence. In a Letter to a Friend. London: Printed by J. Barfield Printer to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales for T. Reynolds 1801. 51 1 pp. Publisher advertisements to last page. Octavo 8-1/4" x 5"; 21 x 13 cm. Disbound stab-stitched pamphlet. Moderate toning negligible light soiling to exterior leaves just starting to separate at ends but secure. A good copy of a rare title. $350. Only edition. This pamphlet was written in response to the Clergy Disqualification Act of 1801 which formally banned ordained members of the Church of England from election to the House of Commons. The status of ministers in other denominations was left ambiguous as was the status of Anglican clergymen elected prior to the Act's passage. The work disagrees with proponents of the Act arguing that the election of clergy ties the clergy to the state and creates a shared sense of civic unity. Banning the election of clergy on the other hand creates a diminished and disaffected class of citizens and deprives constituents of the liberty to select from the widest possible array of candidates. The Act would not be overturned until 2001. This is a rare title. OCLC locates 2 copies Harvard University of Cambridge. No copies listed on Library Hub. unknown
