1788réf. 38765London: Stockdale 1788. George III 1738-1820. Report from the committee appointed to examine the physicians who have attended his Majesty. . . . 8vo. 16pp. London: J. Stockdale 1778 i.e. 1788. 210 x210 x 133 mm. Modern boards. Fine apart from a little spotting. Reprint of a parliamentary report. Few illnesses of historic personages have been followed so closely and documented so well as the insanity of George iii king of Great Britain from 1760-1820. The king suffered five separate attacks of mental illness during his long reign the first in 1765 and the last in 1810; this final breakdown which ended only with the king's death resulted in the establishment of the Regency. Of the remaining four attacks the one that incapacitated the king between October 1788-March 1789 is the most interesting not only because of the political turmoil it generated over the regency question but also because of the stimulus it gave to the study of psychiatry. The question of the king's recovery was of such political importance that special committees from each house of Parliament were set up to interrogate the king's doctors about the progress and probable outcome of his illness. These examinations printed in the Parliamentary proceedings and republished in numerous cheap popular editions advanced the cause of psychiatry by educating the public about mental illness and by giving an aura of respectability to the study of insanity.

1789réf. 38761London: Logographic Press 1789. George III 1738-1820.

London: Logographic Press 1789. 210 x 160 mm. Later half calf marbled boards a bit rubbed. Occasional foxing otherwise very good. Bookplate of Charles W. Pilgrim. Reprint of a parliamentary report issued in January 1789. Few illnesses of historic personages have been followed so closely and documented so well as the insanity of George III king of Great Britain from 1760-1820. The king suffered five separate attacks of mental illness during his long reign the first in 1765 and the last in 1810; the final breakdown which ended only with the king's death resulted in the establishment of the Regency. Of the remaining four attacks the one that incapacitated the king between October 1788-March 1789 is the most interesting not only because of the political turmoil it generated over the regency question but also because of the stimulus it gave to the study of psychiatry. The question of the king's recovery was of such political importance that special committees from each house of Parliament were set up to interrogate the king's doctors about the progress and probable outcome of his illness. These examinations printed in the Parliamentary proceedings and republished in numerous popular editions such as the one we are offering here advanced the cause of psychiatry by educating the public about mental illness and by giving an aura of respectability to the study of insanity. The present report contains testimony from the eight physicians attending the king during his illness taken on January 7-13 1789. The most influential of these physicians was Francis Willis proprietor of a private asylum in Lincolnshire; his optimism about the king's eventual recovery found favor with Prime Minister William Pitt and the Tory government which had been supported by the king. Willis's chief rival was Richard Warren a friend of the leaders of the Whig opposition; his pessimistic views about the king's illness were adopted by those who wished to see the Prince of Wales established as Regent.

réf. AQ30653s.i.: s.n. 1788 Manuscript on paper. Seven joined vellum membranes. A trifle creased and discoloured. Inscribed at foot: 'Examined by Thomas Lowley Deputy Clerk of the Pipe 10 July 1811'. An examined copy of a roll of foreign accounts dealing at a largely superficial level with the financing of troops stationed in Gibraltar Ireland North America the West and East Indies and associated plantations. Some specific sums are recorded such as the receipt of £300 18s 2d for the sale by public auction in Quebec of the brig Maria. Charges and receipts amounted to £3377122 0s 11 1/2d and payments and allowances to £1772059 19s 11d which after further allowances was reduced to a debt of £423277 2s 2 3/4d. Perhaps the most interesting inclusion is the list of deputy-paymasters and their stations and the numerous officials and the salaries which they received. The office of Paymaster of the Forces was established in 1661. By the eighteenth century it had become a political prize and potentially one of the most lucrative offices one could obtain during a parliamentary career offering a salary of £4000. At the time this roll was produced the office was jointly held by future Prime Minster William Wyndham Grenville Baron Grenville 1759-1834 and naval officer and politician Constantine John Phipps 1744-1792. .
