Quarter Leather. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A very good copy of this important pamphlet presented to the Long Parliament of 1640. The author, Henry Parker (1604-1652), was called to the Bar in 1637, and was a prolific writer in support of Parliament. The pamphlet has at its heart the issue of the balance between the authority and responsibilities of a king, and the rights and responsibilities of the people. Charles I had been ruling without Parliament since he had dissolved it in March 1629. At the time the raising and collection of taxes was somewhat haphazard and the power to do so rested with Parliament. Needing finance, Charles had resorted to the medieval tax of Shipmoney which could be levied directly by a King in times of military threat and war. In its original form it was levied on coastal areas and was usually the responsibility to build or equip ships that could be used in defence. Charles I expanded this to be a monetary tax across all the counties of England levied in peacetime, the proceeds of which went to the Crown. Since it principally fell on those with property, it caused considerable outrage among landowners, and one John Hampden of Buckinghamshire refused to pay on the grounds that this was a tax imposed without Parliamentary authority. He was taken to court and although he lost, his resistance inspired others. The pamphlet builds on the arguments from Hampden's case for the abolition of shipmoney. It also argues that a strong parliament, representative of the people, working with a king, will create a better and more resilient monarchy less open to popular revolt. This copy is in a newer quarter calf binding with marbled paper sides. The spine has a red title label and gilt lining. The contents are complete with: title dated 1640; blank verso; text pp 1-49 - page 1 with decorative headpiece and initial capital - finis. It is very clean internally with the occasional spot. Page 45/6 has lost the bottom corner tip. The top margin is close- cropped - clipping the top of of the first line of the title and occasionally clipping the top surface of the page numbers.

Shelved in Room G. Prepared to be presented to the Long Parliament on the day it first convened in 1640, The Case of Shipmony has been called "the first intellectually significant political pamphlet of the Long Parliament era" (Mendle, The Ship Money Case., 1989). Shipmoney was a royal tax of medieval origin, sometimes levied on coastal towns by the King in times of war. While it had largely fallen out of use by the 17th-century, it was revived (and expanded) by Charles I while the Crown desperately sought additional revenues for war with Scotland. With growing public discontent, the controversy came to a head when a wealthy landowner refused to comply with the tax. In Rex v. Hampden, the defense argued that the King was usurping parliamentary power in imposing a tax without legislative approval. The twelve judge panel voted seven-five in favor of the crown. The present work argues not only for the illegality of the shipmoney tax, but for an expansive theory of parliamentary sovereignty. Henry Parker (1604 - 1652) published the work anonymously, but would go on to become one of the most highly regarded political theorists among the parliamentarians and presbyterians. He served as secretary to Cromwell's army in Ireland, and died there in 1652. The Case of Shipmony is a consequential document of both political and intellectual history, representing not only an opening salvo in the English Civil War, but also an articulation of a concept central to the American Revolution over a century later: no taxation without representation. The printer behind this edition was the prolific Elizabeth Purslowe, who took over operation of her husband's printshop after his death in 1632. She owned and operated the business for fourteen years, publishing about 164 books (including John Donne's Juvenalia). She was also a partner in the printer's syndicate Eliot's Court Press, alongside Anne Griffin and John Halivand.

Disbound. Condition: Good. None (illustrator). First edition. Two politically fuelled pamphlets regarding the fallout following James II's Penal Laws. These pamphlets directly relate to the Seven Bishops' petition. The Seven Bishops were members of the Church of England who were tried and acquitted for seditious libel. The bishops include William Sancroft, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The seven men opposed James II's 'Declaration of Indulgence' which was supposedly a step towards establishing religious freedom in the British Isles. Many suspected that it was to suit the Catholic King's own agenda. The first pamphlet to this set regards the petition and is stated as being written by 'A true member of the Church of England.' There were two versions of this work published in the same year, an eight page edition and an eleven. This is the eleven page edition. This work, addressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury and the other six men, tells them that they are disrespecting the King by protesting his divine right. The individual discusses the Act in detail and the author tells the Bishops that they have 'divided yourselves from a loyal, judicious and religious part of the church you profess yourselves members of'. ESTC Reference R4980. The second work to this set is 'an Answer to a Paper Importing a Petition of the Archbishop of Canterbury and Six Other Bishops to His Majesty' which has been attributed to Henry Care. Care was a Whig propagandist who wrote many anti-Catholic works. It is believed that he founded 'The English Liberties'. ESTC R35842. Both pamphlets collated, complete. Two contemporary sources regarding the religious and political problems during the seventeenth century and an interesting insight into contemporary opinion regarding the Seven Bishops. It was this event that contributed heavily to the anti-Catholic riots of 1688 and the Glorious Revolution. Disbound, as is usually called for. Externally, sound with minor chips to the extremities. Large loss to the front wrap of 'An Address'. Prior owner's inscriptions to the top corner of all leaves, as pagination from when they were originally bound. Internally, both pamphlets are generally firmly bound. Pages are slightly age toned with the odd handling marks and spots. Good. book.

First edition(?) with the spelling "Policy" in the title; STC notes two other editions of the same year with the spelling "Policie". The Case of Shipmony "occupies a special place in the history of English political thought: The Case of Shipmony may be the first intellectually significant political pamphlet of the Long Parliament era. In this crisp and well printed quarto, Parker, a publicist and man of affairs, used issues raised during John Hampden's celebrated test case of 1637 to develop his own political views" (Michael Mendle, The English Experience: Its record in early printed books published in facsimile). From an important Sussex family, Parker (1604-1652) wrote anonymously, though he became well known under the pseudonym of the Observator in the pamphlet wars of the early and middle 1640s. See Michael Mendle, Henry Parker and the English Civil War: the Political Thought of the Public's "Privado", Cambridge, 1995.
