1646Best.-Nr. 17558London: Printed by T.W. Thomas Warren for Ed. Edward Husband 1646. FIRST EDITION. Engraved frontispiece woodcut headpieces. Contemporary calf worn especially at spine joints somewhat tender; first blank appears to be torn out leaf with frontispiece repaired some browning and soiling mostly on edges. Overall a good copy from the library of the Earls of Macclesfield with their dated 1860 bookplate motto “Sapere aude” on the paste-down and blind embossed stamp of armorial on first three leaves. First edition. In 1640 King Charles I established the Long Parliament in order to acquire funds for the Bishop’s War against the Scots. However as soon as the Long Parliament took control they began dismantling the monarchy’s authority by removing the king’s advisors and sympathizers. The orders and ordinances collected in this copy begin at this crucial moment and cover the duration of the English Civil War from 1642 to 1646. It is therefore an excellent reference source for laws and statutes during the English Civil War. It also contains several matters of Colonial interest including An Order for advancement of the Plantations in New England; An Order to make the Earl of Warwick Governor of the Plantations in America; An Ordinance against Importation of Whale-oyl; and An additional Committee for ordering Foreign Plantations among others. Wing provides the name of the printer for this copy and lists several other volumes containing records of orders over a range of years. Printed by T.W. [Thomas Warren] for Ed. [Edward] Husband unknown

1831Best.-Nr. 19854London 1831. FIRST PRINTING. Drop title; with a number of contemporary annotations corrections on Schedules A and B pp. 26-27. Sewn as issued preserved in a folding case. First printing of the final revisions to the Great Reform Bill. This was the second bill put up for a Parliamentary vote. The initial version of the bill March 1831 was rejected by Parliament. The Great Reform Bill of 1831 also known as the Reform Act was a significant piece of legislation in the United Kingdom aimed at addressing the deficiencies in the electoral system. Before the bill representation in Parliament was heavily skewed with many industrial cities lacking adequate representation while rural areas held disproportionate power. The bill sought to expand the electorate improve representation and reduce the influence of "rotten boroughs" which were sparsely populated constituencies that had the same voting power as more populous areas. The bill proposed to extend the franchise to more men particularly those in the burgeoning middle class and aimed to redistribute parliamentary seats to reflect population changes especially due to the industrial revolution. Although it faced fierce opposition from the House of Lords public pressure and widespread protests highlighted the demand for reform. The rejection of the initial version of the bill led to a wave of public agitation and a second attempt which was again passed by the House of Commons and rejected by the House of Lords. Ultimately this third version passed after the government threatened to create new peers to secure its approval in the House of Lords. The Great Reform Bill marked a pivotal moment in British political history laying the groundwork for future electoral reforms and increasing public participation in the democratic process. unknown
1731Best.-Nr. 5684London: William Bowyer 1731. First edition. A rare surviving example of this Bill in its original form with a docket title. Although no printer details are given ESTC states that this bill was printed by William Bowyer and from his records that only 1500 copies were printed and that most of the sheets were later 'overrun' i.e. reimposed and reprinted. The legislation was not passed on this occasion but was enacted in the next session as 5 Geo.II.c.30. It is interesting to see the original bill printed up but with gaps for dates and other details throughout the legislation. 311p. Without any binding or boards as issued. sewn to spine. Possibly abstracted from a larger volume. 33cm x 20cm. ESTC: T80404. . Première édition. Un exemplaire rare de ce projet de loi conservé dans sa forme originale avec un titre de dossier. Bien qu'aucune information ne soit fournie concernant l'imprimeur l'ESTC indique que ce projet de loi a été imprimé par William Bowyer et précise d'après ses registres que seuls 1 500 exemplaires ont été tirés et que la plupart des feuilles ont ensuite été « réimprimées » c'est-à-dire remises en presse et réimprimées . Le texte de loi ne fut pas adopté à cette occasion mais fut promulgué lors de la session suivante sous le titre 5 Geo.II.c.30. Il est intéressant de voir le projet de loi original imprimé mais comportant des espaces vides pour les dates et autres détails tout au long du texte. 31 1 p. Sans reliure ni plats tel qu'il a été publié. Cousu au dos. Probablement extrait d'un volume plus volumineux. 33 cm x 20 cm. ESTC : T80404. [William Bowyer] hardcover
