Important Royal Warrant in the history of the Postal Service – William III – autograph fine letter signed ‘William RÂ’ at head addressed to the Solicitor General^ 2pp large legal folio on paper (appearing to lack a third and final page carrying the date and countersignature^ but the letter is complete)^ granting a pension of £3^500 a year to the Marquis of Carmarthen (later the Duke of Leeds)^ to be paid out of the revenues of the Post Office.

English Civil War - The Treason Act of the Commonwealth: An Act declaring what offences shall be adjudged Treason^ July 17th 1649. Folio 6pp unbound good condition.

This is an interesting document as it fails to condemn communication with the exiled King Charles II which no doubt it should have done^ and also that it is issued in the name of the ‘Keepers of the Liberty of England’. This was a strange interim body drawn from Parliament which was the effective supreme power at the time. Its very existence showed the fragile nature of the governing powers after the demise of the Monarchy. It didn’t last that long.
