1807Best.-Nr. 18934215 July 1807. Diplomatic deals in the Napoleonic Wars A royal warrant signed by George III at the head ordering the application of the Great Seal to the Convention of Subsidy between Great Britain and Sweden signed at Stralsund on 23 June 1807. The document is countersigned on the second page by the Foreign Secretary George Canning later prime minister. The warrant orders the Great Seal be affixed to two instruments "containing our Ratifications of a Treaty concluded & signed at Stralsund on the 23d Day of June last between us and our good brother the King of Sweden by our respective plenipotentiaries". Annexed to the document are manuscript copies of the instruments. Sweden joined Britain in the war against Napoleon in 1805 in the Treaty of Bäckaskog. In early 1807 France launched an offensive against Swedish Pomerania and by June Swedish forces were weakening. Canning saw Pomerania as the only viable base for continental military operations against Napoleon and agreed in the treaty of 23 June to provide British subsidies to Swedish troops. The Swedes nevertheless capitulated in August. Britain reinforced Sweden in 1808 as France's allies entered the war against her but in 1809 King Gustav IV was deposed and in 1810 Sweden aligned with France and declared war on Britain.

Light toning negligible light foxing to a few pages internally clean. $750. Two acts of Parliament consolidating and regulating turnpike trusts in the wake of the "turnpike boom" of the late eighteenth century. Turnpike trusts established by individual acts of Parliament had the power to collect tolls that would be used for road maintenance. Before the widespread use of these trusts local parishes were responsible for raising revenue via taxation and repairing highways and often found the task difficult. The first act the Turnpike Act of 1766 established basic rules for drivers and provided for the erection of milestones to indicate the distance between towns. The second act the Highways Act 1766 expanded on provisions and standards for road repair. The volume includes a thorough 62 pp. index to both acts. The ESTC lists a 64 pp. index and an additional act from 1768. Our 62 pp. index appears complete and we have seen another copy without this additional act. As in the ESTC record our copy lacks leaf A1 which may have been blank or unissued. OCLC and the ESTC locate 2 copies of this title British Library Cardiff University.

Some of the more interesting acts include several acts regulating trade in America and an act allowing New York to pass an act "for the creating and issuing upon Loan Paper Bills of Credit to a certain Amount; and to make the same a Legal Tender." The right to issue paper money had been heavily restricted by the Currency Acts of 1751 and 1764 but after New York's government argued that these acts hindered full compliance with the Quartering Act Parliament relented and allowed New York to issue paper currency for public but not private debts. This concession was extended to the other colonies in 1773. Acts XXXIV dealing with the attempts to develop a successful marine chronometer and XLIV regulating mercantile fraud and hackney coaches are not present in our volume.

1827Best.-Nr. 619L14London: John Murray 1827. First edition. Leather. Good Only. 11" by 9". None. A selection of letters from George III to two political figures regarding the proposition of Catholic emancipation and his Coronation Oath. He writes to British politician and barrister Lord Kenyon and the then Prime Minister William Pitt. The first edition of this uncommon work. These letters are associated with the political process during the late eighteenth and early nineteenth century regarding the 'Catholic emancipation' or 'relief'. Following the Act of Union between Great Britain and Ireland there was a call to remove many of the restrictions on Roman Catholics introduced by the Act of Uniformity Test Acts and penal laws. During the Act of Union William Pitt the Younger the Prime Minister at the time promised emancipation to accompany the act. However no further steps were taken. This was due to King George III believing that any Catholic emancipation would violate his Coronation Oath. To this work there are correspondences between Pitt and George III regarding this matter. Pitt resigned from his position as Prime Minister when the King's opposition became known. To the main body of this work George writes to Kenyon regarding the standing of the Coronation Oath. He notes to the first letter that 'The following Queries on the present attempt to abolish all distinctions in Religion in Ireland with the intention of favouring the Roman Catholics in that Kingdom.' The King is enquiring to Kenyon as to whether emancipation would affect his Coronation Oath. With an introduction by Henry Phillpotts a well known opponent of Catholic emancipation. One of his well known works is 'A Letter to an English Layman on the Coronation Oath which was issued after this work. This copy is from the Bishop Phillpotts Library in Truro with a bookplate for the library to the front pastedown. The Philpotts library is still an important centre for theological studies. It was first opened in 1871 by Henry Phillpotts. Another prior owner's bookplate to front pastedown 'Henricus Exoniensis'. There are six letters between Kenyon and George III to this volume and five letters between Pitt and the King. With a facsimile letter by George III as the frontispiece.

1799Best.-Nr. 92483London: Printed by George Eyre and Andrew Strahan 1799-1824. Rare collection of three British Acts related to the regulation and abolition of the British slave trade including: An Act for better regulating the Manner of carrying Slaves in British Vessels from the Coast of Africa 12th July 1799; An Act for regulating.the shipping and carrying of Slaves in British Vessels from the Coast of Africa 28th June 1798; and An Act to Amend and consolidate the Laws relating to the Abolition of the Slave Trade 24th June 1824.

In near fine condition. An exceptional piece of history. The anti-slavery movement to abolish the slave trade became popular among the British public following barrister Lord Mansfield's judgement in the Somersett's Case which held that slavery was unsupported by the common law in England and Wales. In 1807 Parliament passed the Slave Trade Act of 1807 which outlawed the slave trade but not slavery itself. Over two decades later in 1833 the Slavery Abolition Act was passed which made the purchase or ownership of slaves illegal within the British Empire and provided monetary compensation for previous slave owners.

Best.-Nr. #[60986]British Empire d.d. 1 August 1817. Vellum charter good condition. 60x45 cm. Manuscript text and calligraphy with 4 coloured coats of arms three of the King and the officials and one of Hopton. Original 'signatures' written names and attached wax seals of both officials in decorated wooden spane casings. Encased in a made to fit oblong wooden case with metal closing mechanism and clothed with red linen decorated in gold with GR initials and crowns. This comes with an original letter from George W. Marshall Rouge Croix from the College of Arms dated 1900 and the Royal licence signed by Queen Victoria adressed to Lieutenant-Colonel Hopton for a change of name and arms from John Dutton Hunt to Hopton. This charter explains that William Hopton heretofore William Parsons only surviving son of John Parsons MP of Kemerton Court county Gloucester deceased by Deborah his wife who was the daughter of Richard Hopton of Canon Frome in Hereford and the aunt of Richard Cope Hopton also deceased took the name of Hopton by Royal decree of 11 March 1817 in order to inherit the Canon Frome estate. It also relates to the impressive family history dating several centuries back. The Hoptons had lived at Canon Frome for several generations the succession often being through the female line. The Canon Frome estate was one of the largest in the county and he was a typical squarson'. William Parsons Hopton married twice first to Mary Graves and second to Anna Poole and his eldest grandson by the second marriage Edward married his cousin Clare Ellen Trafford. A soldier who served in the Crimea Indian Mutiny and the Kaffir and Zulu Wars Edward became a General and was knighted in 1900. He and his son Edward after him were Trustees of the Michaelchurch Estate and Eliza Rawson bought them a house at Cagebrook in the parish of Eaton Bishop. It seems that Canon Frome Court is now inhabitated by a rural living community of adults and children. Kemerton Court apparently the ancestral home of the Parsons family still exists and in the village of Kemerton there is a two storey tower still known as "Parsons folly". Unusual is the grant of a crest "out of a Ducal Coronet" "under the peculiar circumstances and the antiquity of the family" but "may not be made a precedent." H96 hardcover
Best.-Nr. 19779St James 30 July 1796. 2 pages 9 x 7 inches plus integral address leaf gilt edges in fine fresh and attractive condition bearing two seals in red wax with ends of red silk ties SIGNED BY A RELUCTANT GEORGE III ON BEHALF OF HIS FORMER MINISTER TO THE UNITED STATES. The bearer of this letter George Hammond had returned to England after serving as the first British Minister to the United States of America in 1795. He was then promoted by George Grenville the Foreign Secretary to act as his senior Under-Secretary with George Canning serving as the second. Meanwhile faced with Napoleon's victories in Italy and the Rhineland Pitt's First Coalition was facing collapse. Grenville keen on an alliance with Prussia proposed that her support could be ensured by giving her a free hand in annexing either of the Belgic provinces or extensive domains in Germany; a plan that was turned down by George III with the cutting observation that 'Italian politics are too complicated for my understanding'. Nevertheless as Ward puts it the British Cabinet was in its desperation 'prepared to act on the degrading principle of gaining the help of a powerful State by conniving at its annexation of a week neighbour' Cambridge History of British Foreign Policy ii p. 267. Hammond as per our letter was therefore despatched to Berlin with George III's reluctant agreement. But he had no luck. For when he got to Berlin he discovered that the King was away and nothing could be done in his absence. So he let the matter drop. unknown
