Richard III autograph signet-sealed document signed ”R. Gloucestre” (Richard III autograph) as Duke of Gloucester, one of less than a dozen such documents signed with the others residing in public institutions. Richard’s brother, Edward IV, appointed Richard as Lord President of the Council of the North, which sought to exert greater governmental control over Northern England. Document is dated by title donned on Richard as ”Constable and Admyral of England” instead of ”Great Chamberlain,” which dates the document circa 1473-77. As Duke of Gloucester in his early 20’s, Richard III was given many responsibilities by his brother, becoming a powerful landowner and political force to be reckoned with in the north, further establishing his future reign as King of England. Document illuminates his growing power as he hereby intervenes in a land dispute between Ralph Neville, 2nd Earl of Westmorland and some of his tenants. Countersigned by the Duke’s secretary, John Kendal.
Document is addressed to Sir Robert Claxton, William Claxton, Richard Bainbridge, ”and other of the ‘Counsell of our right entierly beloved Cousyn Therl of Wesm[or]land’, Pontefract, 22 April n.y.

He writes now to a larger group of Westmorland councillors, asking that they examine the petitioners and settle the dispute according to their own discretion, so th[a]t neyther p[ar]tie have cause to sue unto us for remedy in that behalve heraft[er].” Measures 11.75” x 7” on one page. Framed to an overall size of 18.5″ x 14.25″; frame has a drawer that pulls up from the top edge holding a transcript of the document and a biography of Richard III.

The activities of the Continental Congress for the watershed year of 1776 are recorded comprehensively here in this first edition, first printing of ”Journals of Congress Containing The Proceedings In The Year, 1776.” Published by Order of Congress, by Robert Aitken: Philadelphia: 1777. This is one of just 532 copies which were printed in 1776, with substantially less than that available today, and is complete with the original printing of the Declaration of Independence on pages 241-246.

In addition to the Declaration of Independence, this volume chronicles the preparation for the Revolutionary War, as well as Richard Henry Lee’s 15 May proposal of independence. The book reads as a diary, with each day’s activities noted, including letters from ”General Washington” and resolutions such as one from 14 August 1776, in part, ”…his British majesty, in order to destroy our freedom and happiness has commenced against us a cruel and unprovoked war; and unable to engage Briton’s sufficient to execute his sanguinary measures has applied for aid to foreign princes, who are in the habit of selling the blood of their people for money…” Volume runs 512pp. plus index and measures 5.5” x 8.5”. Deckled-edge leaves are bound in paper boards, not original calf binding. Loss of backstrip reveals a thin layer of fabric affixed over a ribbed spine. Title page is missing the top 1.5”. Chipping to bottom edge of front board and a stamp of the previous owner on the front pastedown. In very good condition considering age. A precious record codifying the founding of the United States of America. Sold for $6,083.
English Civil War Act Abolishing Monarchy in England
Historically significant and original from 1648, a broadside announcing the English Act to abolish the King of England, written by the newly established Commonwealth parliament. Dated 19 March 1648, the Act was officially passed in 1649 immediately after Charles I’s regicide, which occurred amidst Pride’s Purge, the violent coup d’etat in which the Army violently removed any dissenters from the House, including Charles I, who was executed in January of 1649. Act marks the beginning steps toward the Interregnum period in England, a period of a military and parliamentary control under Oliver Cromwell that lasted until 1660 when Charles II was eventually reinstated. The Act establishes the Commonwealth of England with unchecked executive and legislative power, in order to create legal basis of the Republic after Charles I’s execution. Though Charles II was proclaimed king by the Scots after Charles I beheading, this Act was passed immediately to prevent proclamation of a successor. Act is written in a terrifying tone of restitution and reads in full: “An Act For Abolishing the Kingly Office in England, Ireland, and the Dominions thereunto belonging. Whereas Charles Stuart late King of England, Ireland, and the Territories and Dominions thereunto belonging, hath by authority decided from Parliament, been, and is hereby declared to be justly condemned, adjudged to die and put to death, for many treasons, murders, and other hainous offences committed by him, by which Judgement be [good] and is hereby declared to be attained of high Treason, whereby his Issue and Posterity, & all others pretending Title under him, are become incapable of the laid Crowns, & of being King and Queen of the laid Kingdom of Dominions, or either or any of them: Be it therefore Enacted and Ordained, and it is Enacted, Ordained and Declared by the present Parliament, and by authority thereof, That all the people of England and Ireland, and the Dominions and Territories thereunto belonging, of what degree or condition [foeber], are discharged of a realty, homage and Allegiance which is [of] shall be pretended to be due unto any of the Issue and Posterity of the laid late King, or any claiming under him; and that Charles Stuart eldest son, and James called Duke of York, second son, and all other the Issue and Posterity of him the laid late King, and all and every person and persons pretending Title from, by or under him, are and be disabled to hold or enjoy the laid Crown of England and Ireland, and other the Dominions thereunto belonging, or any of them; or to have the Name, Title, Stile or Dignity of King or Queen of England and Ireland, Prince of Wales, or any of them; or to have and enjoy the power and Dominion of the laid Kingdoms and Dominions, or any of them, or the honors, Manors, Lands, Tenements, Possessions and hereditaments belonging to or appertaining to the laid Crown of England and Ireland, and other Dominions aforesaid, or to any of them; or to the Principality of Wales, Dutchy of Lacaster or Cornwal, or any or either of them, Any Law, Statute, Ordinance, [Usage] or Custom to the contrary hereof in any wife notwithstanding: And whereas it is and hath been found by experience, that the Office of a King in this Nation and Ireland, and to have the power thereof in any single person, is unnecessary, but burdensome and Dangerous to the liberty, safety and publique interest of the people, and that for the most part, use hath been made of the Regal power and prerogative, to oppress, improperly and enslave the subject; and that usually and naturally any one person in such power, makes it his interest to encroach upon the just freedom and liberty of the people, and to promote the fessing up of their own will and power above the Laws, that so they might enable [there] Kingdoms to their own [Lust]: Be it therefore enacted and ordained by this present Parliament, and by Authority of the same, That the Office of a King in this Nation, shall not henceforth recide in, or be exercised by any one single person; and that no one person whatsoever, shall or may have, or hold the Office, Stile, Dignity, Power or Authority of King of the laid Kingdoms and Dominions, or any of them, or of the Prince of Wales, any law, statute, usage or custom to the contrary thereof in any wife notwithstanding.
