Clandestine Marriage.- Gally (Henry) Some Considerations upon Clandestine Marriages, second edition, light water-staining at beginning, modern marbled boards, by J.Hughs, 1750 § Leman (Sir Tanfield) Matrimony Analysed. Wherein is Proposed a Free and Candid Inquiry into the Force of the Objections against the late Act of Parliament for the better preventing Clandestine Marriages, only edition, lacking half-title, book-label of Charles Clark of Great Totham, Essex to verso of title with ink correction (?in his hand) to final leaf, a little browned, title torn at inner margin and mounted on stub, old roan-backed boards, rebacked, for H.Whatridge, 1755 § [Fry (John)] The Case of Marriages between near kindred particularly considered...with some Observations relating to the late Act to prevent Clandestine Marriages, first edition, lightly browned, modern calf-backed boards, morocco label, J.Whiston & B.White, 1756 § Stebbing (Henry) A Dissertation on the Power of States to Deny Civil Protection to the Marriages of Minors made without the Consent of their Parents or Guardians, first edition, half-title, modern marbled boards, C.Davis, 1755 § [Forster (Nathaniel)] Remarks on the Reverend Dr Stebbing's Dissertation..., first edition, modern marbled boards, J. & P.Knapton, 1755, 8vo (5)⁂ Lord Hardwicke's Marriage Act of 1753, or An Act for the better preventing of clandestine marriage, was the first statutory legislation in England and Wales to require a formal ceremony of marriage. The Act had been precipitated by a dispute about the validity of a Scottish marriage, although pressure to address the problem of clandestine marriage had been growing for some time, as indicated by Gally's pamphlet. Until that time neither prior notice nor parental consent for minors was required for marriage but the Act ordered the reading of banns in church, parents' or guardians' consent for minors, and the service to be conducted by an Anglican clergyman. Henceforth couples had to travel to Scotland in order to marry, the nearest place being Gretna Green just north of Carlisle.

This volume and those in the following 3 lots bear a marked similarity to the sets of The Second World War that were specially-bound by the publisher for presentation.

The First Great Inventions, light browning to endpapers, light bumping and wear to spine ends and corners, 1951, first editions, colour illustrations, original pictorial boards, 4to (3)⁂ An excellent group of scarce Isotype works including the rare true first edition of Railways Under London, we can trace no example of this work at auction or in commerce.Marie Neurath and her husband Otto pioneered the technique that came to be termed the International System of Typographic Picture Education (Isotype) as a means of widely communicating social-scientific data and instructions. After the pair fled to the UK from the Netherlands following the 1940 invasion of the Nazis, the Neurath's founded the Isotype Institute in Oxford, continuing the work they had begun on the continent. The war proved to be an opportunity to diffuse the ideas the couple had established and they received numerous commissions from the Ministry of Information. Following the end of the war and Otto's death in 1945, Marie continued to apply Isotype principles and designs to representing complex information, principally in popular science books for young persons as in the present examples.
