THE OXFORD DECLARATIONS

At a meeting of heads of houses and proctors in the Delegates' room, May 2, 1834. A Declaration... We, whose names are underwritten, declare it to be our deliberate and firm opinion, that a Bill, now before Parliament, "To remove certain Disabilities which prevent some Classes of His Majesty's Subjects from resorting to the Universities of England, and proceeding to Degrees therein," will, if it pass into a Law, violate our legal and prescriptive Rights> subvert the system of Religious Instruction and Discipline, so long and beneficially exercised by us> and, by dissolving the union between the University and the Church of England, will impair the efficiency, and endanger the security, of both.

Oxford: Baxter, printer, 1834. Folio, 460 x 285 mm. pp. 4. old repairs to last page. The repeal of the Test and Corporation Acts in 1828 led the way for religious dissenters to enter public office, from which they had previously been barred. However, in many instances the freedoms were theoretical, nonconformists could not be legally married in their own chapels, nor buried in their own churchyards. Nonconformists were still barred from attending Oxford University> they could attend Cambridge, but not receive degrees there. A bill of 1834 would have removed these restrictions and passed the Commons but failed in the Lords. It was another 20 years before nonconformists could take bachelors degrees and it was not until 1871 that they were allowed to take higher degrees and hold offices at the universities. The number of signatories to this Declaration at the University of Oxford shows the strength of feeling of most academics.

London, M Gillflower, 1685. Leather. A collection of political and legal works from the seventeenth century. Bound in full leather. Contains four volumes bound as one. Very scarce. Collates complete. Henry Scobell (c1610 - 1661) was an English Parliamentary official, and editor of official publications. He was clerk to the Long Parliament, and wrote on parliamentary procedure and precedents. Sir John Doddridge (1555 - 1628) was a judge. As a lawyer Dodderidge was immensely well respected. He was known as the Sleeping Judge, not because of any shortcoming on his part, but because of his habit of concentrating on legal argument with eyes firmly closed. Dodderidge got to the heart of matters very quickly, and his arguments—as advocate, as judge, and as parliamentarian—had a compelling lucidity. His writings show the same quality. In a full calf binding. There is significant wear to the extremities including heavy rubbing with some loss to the leather and cracking to the spine. The front board is detached but present. The binding is generally tight and firm although it is coming loose at the bottom of the volume. There is an ink stamp mark to the front pastedown and a signature and annotation to the first title page. A few of the pages have underlinings. The final 33 pages have been close trimmed at the foredge with loss to the odd letter at the end of a line of text. There is a small tear with loss to the first title page and to the corners of a couple of pages, but with no loss to the text. Overall the volume is in fair condition externally but good internally. Extremely scarce and important work. Fair . Ill.: None. Fair .
