1934rif. 180258Japan: 1934. A last-ditch attempt to repair Anglo-Japanese relations A well-preserved photo album presented by the Japanese government to members of the Barnby mission. This delegation was "unofficial and supposed to deal solely with commercial issues but the Japanese government and media treated it as if it had a political purpose much to the embarrassment of the British Embassy" Cortazzi p. 141. WorldCat lists no other examples. After the invasion of Manchuria and Japan's withdrawal from the League of Nations in 1933 a pro-Japanese group in Britain centred on Neville Chamberlain attempted to repair relations between the two countries. The group was led by Colonel Lord Barnby the former president of the Federation of British Industries and staffed by representatives of the Iron and Steel Federation and the banking firm Seligman Brothers. Officially its goal was to investigate business opportunities in the new colony but as the Japanese ambassador Matsudaira Tsuneo wrote "its real aim is to promote friendly relations between Japan and Britain and between Britain and Manchukuo" Nish p. 19. The delegation was greeted by an audience with the emperor much to the horror of the British ambassador Robert Clive who suspected that their friendliness was simply a ruse to persuade the British to "accept a subordinate position in East Asia" Cortazzi p. 142. The mission caused such a stir that it was debated in parliament on 7 November 1934 where Viscount Cecil of Chelwood asked whether the Japanese government had been properly informed of its non-political nature. The first photograph shows the mission meeting with the Japanese delegation and the final photograph shows the interior of a railway car. There are also many photographs of traditional Japanese sports and performing arts as well as the scenery of famous places like Nara Hakone and Kyushu. Oblong folio.

1713rif. 186652London: Printed for John Baskett Printer to the Queens most Excellent Majesty And by the Assigns of Thomas Newcomb and Henry Hills deceas'd 1713. A foundational document in the transatlantic slave trade First edition of a major development of the transatlantic slave trade which greatly expanded the market for British slave traders in the Americas and helped establish Britain as the predominant slave trading power. After the War of the Spanish Succession Spain ceded to Britain the exclusive right to import African slaves into Spanish America. This monopoly the Assiento was delegated to the newly formed South Sea Company and held until 1750. The supposed value of the Assiento was the basis of the South Sea Bubble. In fact the restrictive terms - slave numbers were capped and all shipments were heavily taxed by the Spanish Crown - resulted in the South Sea Company never making substantial profit from the agreement. Nonetheless the Assiento played a major role in boosting and consolidating Britain's role in the Atlantic slave trade. The front free endpaper contains a detailed contemporary owner's note naming the binder of the volume - John Worrall - the price paid how it was constructed and how the book should be used: a very unusual survival. The notes state "This book Intituled State Pamphlets was bound by John Worrall for 2s. 2d. and containes 425 leaves". Little is recorded of John Worrall. He was apprenticed from 1674 to 1682 and was working at Warwick Court in 1709 and at Fleet Ditch in 1722. He died in 1726 all from Howe p. 103. The notes continue that the contents are consecutively numbered in manuscript and to use that numbering not the pagination of the original pamphlets. It specifies that "Remarks" are to be "entred in the proper cleane leaves as the observation thereof sees best" - blanks are bound between the tracts. It then notes that the manuscript table should be placed as the second leaf as is found. It refers the reader to another volume with more detailed instructions - it is evident the volume was held in a library which anticipated wide use. The nine other works bound in the volume - an inventory is available on request - date from 1688 to 1714 and are tracts on religion law and politics alongside the Treaty of Utrecht. It includes Jonathan Swift's first political work A Discourse of the Contests and Dissensions between the Nobles and Commons in Athens and Rome 1701 - this copy is the second issue with most of the first edition type corrected and reset. 10 works bound in 1 vol. quarto 206 x 156 mm. Contemporary calf red morocco label to style covers ruled in blind edges sprinkled red. 19th-century ownership signature "S. Louise Langdon" to verso of manuscript contents leaf. Joints and extremities restored slight staining to endpapers a little browned occasional trimming to pagination. Overall very good.

1787rif. 162443London: Printed by Charles Eyre and Andrew Strahan 1787 i.e. 1788. Among the earliest Parliamentary responses to the British slave trade First edition of the first British law to regulate slave shipping preserved in its original volume of yearly parliamentary acts. The law bound 54th in this volume pioneered techniques of popular abolitionist appeal. The Slave Trade Act 1788 limited the number of enslaved persons that could be transported on British ships. It also required that all ships carried a doctor to monitor the conditions of the enslaved persons. The Act was supported through Parliament by Sir William Dolben 1727-1814 and Charles Stanhope 1753-1816. LoGerfo notes of their campaign that "the machinery used to appeal to the literate public would also be used in the future" p. 450. This volume collects 57 acts passed by the 16th Parliament of Great Britain which met from November 1787 to July 1788 and was led by Pitt the Younger. Like all Parliamentary statutes of this period the Slave Trade Act was separately printed with a general title page for inclusion in the yearly volumes of acts. Most of these statutes were printed with their own title pages included in the signatures and pagination - here all such pages have been removed. These laws were printed in limited numbers usually estimated at around 1100 copies only. The volume includes laws against chimney sweeps and child labour and measures to compensate dispossessed American loyalists in the years after the Revolution. Folio 304 x 191 mm pp. 1012 = 900 title pages of individual acts removed. Woodcut device to title page woodcut head- tailpieces and initials to contents. Contemporary quarter sheep spine lettered and with black morocco label in gilt marbled paper sides. Bumping and wear minor loss to spine ends joints cracked but holding firm slight browning and foxing to endpapers and contents slight marking to edges: a good copy.

1763rif. 1730471763. Grain policy in the ancien régime First edition of this exceptionally scarce economic tract on the grain trade. We trace only two institutional copies worldwide: at the University of Chicago and the BnF. The recent spine label attributes this work to Louis Paul Abeille 1719-1807 an early convert to physiocracy and a friend of Quesnay and Mirabeau. Abeille served as secretary of commerce under Louis XV & XVI from 1769-83. A series of subsistence crises brought concerns over public access to grain to the forefront of French economic debate in the mid-18th century. In the absence of public granaries government policy was to regulate more strictly the distribution of grain by private commercial interests but periodic subsistence crises revealed the inadequacy of this policy. Over the next decade the physiocrats continued to promote deregulation of the grain trade which contributed to spiralling prices and the Flour War of 1775. The attribution to Abeille is presumably based on his publication in 1760 of the Corps d'observations de la Société d'agriculture de commerce et des arts établie par les États de Bretagne années 1757 & 1758 which brought him to the attention of Quesnay and Mirabeau in Paris. Abeille was the secretary of the Agricultural Society of Brittany a learned society for agricultural improvement. Duodecimo 159 x 92 mm. Recent marbled paper boards gilt label to spine edges sprinkled red. Minor foxing and browning: a very good copy. Not in Black Goldsmiths' or Kress. hardcover
