1901rif. ST19567-099London: MacMillan and Co. Limited 1901. Fourth Edition. 220 x 140 mm. 8 3/4 x 5 1/2". viii 510 pp. Very pleasing deep brown pebble-grained morocco by Bumpus signed on the front turn-in covers ruled in gilt and black with scrolling fleuron cornerpieces raised bands spine with compartments outlined in black and gilt gilt-ruled turn-ins all edges gilt. Frontispiece portrait of Cromwell after the painting by Samuel Cooper. Spine very slightly sunned the frontispiece and half title with minor foxing but an extremely pleasing copy the text very clean and fresh and the attractive binding lustrous and showing virtually no signs of use. First published in 1900 this is an important biography of one of the most controversial of English leaders written by the universally respected British Liberal statesman writer and newspaper editor John Morley 1838-1923. Composed after very considerable research and with great care Morley's work expands upon the biographies of C. H. Firth and Samuel Rawson Gardiner but with a somewhat more disparaging lens. It is generally sympathetic but critics of the account suggest that Morley's own political concerns at a vexing time in British politics seem to color his portrait of Cromwell in a negative way that is unwarranted. The book was first published in October of 1900 and this the fourth edition was released in January of the following year. Our copy is a particularly attractive one in an elegant yet restrained binding by the distinguished Bumpus bindery. MacMillan and Co., Limited unknown

rif. 18911London: Printed by William du-Gard and Henry Hills Printers to His Highness the Lord Protector. MDCLIII 1653. title continued "As it was publickly declared at Westminster the 16. day of December 1653 . . . OLIVER LORD PROTECTOR of the said Common-wealth took a Solemn Oath for observing the same." Wing CD-ROM 1996 G1456F ; Thomason E.10635 Signatures: E2 F-L² chi¹. Issued separately and possibly also as part of a through-paged set. The last leaf bears "The oath taken by His Highness Oliver Cromwel Lord Protector" signed printed: O. Cromwell. Pp.2 21-46 modern rebinding marbled boards title on spine in red and gold quarter leather tract marked and stained throughout mainly title but text clear and complete. The number "26" has been scrawled on the title. Many institutions in UK and USA have copies but I have found no auction or catalogue reference suggesting great scarcity. This view is supported by the instigator Robert Amadeus Baron Heath of a facsimile edition for the Philobiblon Society "Reprinted in fac-simile for Private Circulation 16th May 1867" in an unknown number of copies. In an autograph letter enclosed in my copy he says "I possess what I believe to be the only copy of the original"!. Note: The importance of the text is indicated by its appearance in "The Making of the Modern World: The Goldsmiths'-Kress Library of Economic Literature 1450-1850". Locke uses the title phrase in his "Second Treatise" e.g. "Whoever therefore from thenceforth by inheritance purchase permission or otherways enjoys any part of the land so annexed to and under the government of that common-wealth must take it with the condition it is under; that is of submitting to the government of the common-wealth under whose jurisdiction it is as far forth as any subject of it."

Three reports from the Quakers during the Civil War on their ministry amongst the "Colored Refugees" of Virginia & Washington DC reporting on the conditions and needs at Fort Monroe Camp Barker Craney Island Alexandria Hampton Norfolk etc. Conditions are tough in the refugee camps but none wish to return to where they have fled from. "Slaves have been abandoned and we must help. Don't we owe them for our prosperity--- enjoying indirectly from the unrequited labor of these people." Encyclopedia Virginia writes on their website- "In this report dated May 1864 the Committee on Colored Refugees who were representatives of the New York Yearly Meeting of Friends gives its assessment of the needs of the formerly enslaved people escaping behind Union lines and how Quaker charity efforts were meeting them in contraband camps across Virginia including Alexandria. One of their agents Harriet Jacobs wrote her own letter documenting what she saw in Alexandria and Washington D.C. For Quakers the abolition of slavery was a moral and religious imperative."
