Holograph Document: A Bankruptcy Document Signed by Edward Thurlow, 1st Baron Thurlow, the Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain.

April 21, 1789. 1789. - An autograph document penned in an unknown hand on 1-7/8 inch high by 8-1/4 inch wide parchment paper with clipped corners. A bankruptcy document dated "21st April 1789" reading "Let a Commission issue as prayed and be directed to Samuel Buck Nicholas Smith Esquires Thomas Bolland Charles Coupland and James Nixon Gentlemen", signed "Thurlow" by the British attorney and Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. Closely cropped with a partial line of text along the top edge. Once likely mounted in an album, there is some soiling with offsetting to the edges of the document from the glue which adhered to the verso. Good. The British lawyer and Tory politician Edward Thurlow, 1st Baron Thurlow (1731-1806) served as Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain from 1778 to 1792. After practicing law, Thurlow had turned to politics in 1768 and was elected Member of Parliament for Tamworth. Appointed Solicitor-General two years later, he was promoted to Attorney General in 1772. He ardently opposed American independence. He was defeated in his attempt to indict the publisher of the "Letters of Junius" Henry Sampson Woodfall for seditious libel when Lord Mansfield issued a verdict of mistrial. Appointed Lord Chancellor by Lord North and he retained the position through the governments led by Lord Rockingham, Lord Shelburne, and subsequently William Pitt the Younger. While in office, he opposed the economic and constitutional reforms proposed by Edmund Burke and John Dunning. Good .

Nationalism and Irony : Burke, Scott, Carlyle

Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2004. orig.cloth. 24x15cm, viii,222 pp. Minor rubbing. VG.
¶ Nationalism and irony are two of the most significant developments of the Romantic period, yet they have not been linked in depth before now. This study shows how Romantic nationalism in Britain explored irony's potential as a powerful source of civic cohesion. The period's leading conservative voices, self-consciously non-English figures such as Edmund Burke, Walter Scott, and Thomas Carlyle, accentuated rather than disguised the anomalous character of Britain's identity, structure, and history. Their irony publicly fractured while upholding sentimental fictions of national wholeness. Britain's politics of deference, its reverence for tradition, and its celebration of productivity all became not only targets of irony but occasions for its development as a patriotic institution. This study offers a different view of both Romantic irony and Romantic nationalism: irony is examined as an outgrowth of commercial society and as a force that holds together center and periphery, superiors and subordinates, in the culture of nationalism" - Publisher's description.

MARVELL Andrew

The Works of Andrew Marvell. Poetical, Controversial and Political, containing many Original Letters, Poems, and Tracts, never Before Printed. With a New Life of the Author, by Capt. Edward Thompson. CRISP SET

Printed for the Editor by Henry Baldwin, and sold by Dodsley, in Pall-Mall [and nine other booksellers],, 1776. 3 vols., 4to., Sole Edition thus, with engraved portrait frontispiece and engraved portrait, some moderate (but largely marginal) damp-marking to first volume; second and third volumes in contemporary full calf, backs with five raised bands, neatly rebacked in calf to style, first volume in modern full calf to style, new leather labels gilt, a very good, crisp, firm set . With the list of subscribers, and additional list of subscribers, together totalling only some 170 names including those of Daines Barrington (friend, correspondent of Gilbert White) Edmund Burke, David Garrick and General Charles Lee. The list of subscribers in interesting; excluding the nobility the list demonstrates a wide coverage of the social and professional classes, and six women are listed which seems a healthy proportion for the period. One subscriber's name, that of 'Estcourt Cheswell' has the surname neatly amended in a contemporary hand to read 'Creswell'. Although there are no other indications as to individual ownership, this may have been his copy. As late as 1791 Creswell was a freeholder of the county of Gloucestershire resident near Cirencester. Marvell's 'Works', containing Poems, Satires and a few Letters, were first edited by Cooke (2 vols., 1726; reprinted 1772). To these are now added the Prose Works, further Letters, including those to the Corporation of Hull (which Marvell represented in Parliament) and the majority of his pamphlets. Thompson's 'Life' appears here for the first time. The most complete early collection of Marvell's poetry and prose, elegantly and clearly printed and with broad margins. CBEL: I, p.460.

Maxwell, Lida.

Public trials : Burke, Zola, Arendt, and the politics of lost causes.

Oxford : Oxford University Press, 2013. Hardcover. Dustjacket. xv,235 pp. Mailorder only - Alleen verzending mogelijk. Book condition : as new. - There are certain moments, such as the American founding or the Civil Rights Movement, that we revisit again and again as instances of democratic triumph, and there are other moments that haunt us as instances of democratic failure. How should we view moments of democratic failure, when both the law and citizens forsake justice? Do such moments reveal a wholesale failure of democracy or a more contested failing, pointing to what could have been, and still might be? Public Trials reveals the considerable stakes of how we understand democratic failure. Maxwell argues against a tendency in the thinking of Plato, Rousseau and contemporary theorists to view moments of democratic failure as indicative of the failure of democracy, insomuch as such thinking leads to a deference to authority that unintentionally encourages complicity in elite and legal failures to assure justice. In contrast, what Maxwell calls lost cause narratives of democratic failure reveal the contingency of democratic failure by showing that things could have been otherwise -- and, with public action and response, might yet be. A politics of lost causes calls for democratic responsiveness to failure via practices of resistance, theatrical claims-making, and re-narration. Maxwell makes a powerful case for the politics of lost causes by examining public controversies over trials. She focuses on the dilemmas and diagnoses of democratic failure in four instances: Edmund Burke's speeches and writings on the Warren Hastings trial in late 18th century Britain, Emile Zola's writings on the Dreyfus Affair in late 19th century France, Hannah Arendt's writings on the Eichmann trial in 1960's Israel, and Kathryn Bigelow's recent narration of (the lack of) trials of alleged terrorist detainees in Zero Dark Thirty. Maxwell marshals her subtle, historically grounded readings of these texts to show the dangers of despairing of democracy altogether, as well as the necessity of re-narrating instances of democratic failure so as to cultivate public responsiveness to such failures in the future.
