British Highways Broadside. A Proposal for mending our Highways, in a considerable Advantage to the Publick , circa 1710-20, single sheet printed to one side only, caption title, decorative woodcut initial, folio, together with: Broadsides & Tracts , The Case of the Mercers and Traders in the Silk and Woollen Manufactures of this Kingdom. Humbly offered to the Consideration of the Honourable House of Commons, circa 1710-20, single sheet printed to one side with caption title, docket title to verso, folio, The Case of the Woollen Manufacturers, and particularly those of the City of Worcester, with Relation to the Turkey Trade, circa 1710-20, 3,[1]pp., caption title and docket title to final page, folio, Observations on behalf of the Bill, for the better Employing the Poor, and Encouraging the Manufactures of this Kingdom, by preventing the clandestine importation of wrought Silks, mix'd with Gold, Silver, or other Materials, [1729], single sheet printed to one side only, caption title, decorative woodcut initial, lower 5cm of gutter margin excised, folio (Hanson 3960) (Qty: 4)NOTESNo institutional locations of the first title found. The first title refers to the Highway Law of 1692, which stated that parish rate payers could be charged up to six pence for every pound of yearly income from land and other real property. The six pence rate represented a 2.5% tax on property income, which was substantial considering there were also parish taxes for poor relief and constables. The broadside also describes the increasingly poor condition of the roads largely due to the transport of wool to London "the irons of our wheels enlarg'd, our horses hindred from growing single, and limited to a number, turn-pikes, etc. and our ways still growing worse: it seems reasonable to consider and find out the true reason from whence this calamity springs. And I believe, in the first place ... that the city of London, like Polyphemus, is at this time eating up most cities and towns in Great Britain" and considers the consequences of movement of goods within the country, "At Shrewsbury is an establish'd Fabrick of Cottens, as heavy and bulky Commodity, which, at this time, cost almost five per cent in their land carriage to London, when for a trivial expence they may be shipp'd at Bristol. At Worcester a considerable fabrick of fine cloth, most of which is sent to Turkey, all carried by land carriage, when it is much nearer to Turkey from Bristol than London; and London merchants may as well order the shipping of it there, as they do their North-Country Cloth at Hull, and save our highways. At Kidderminster a considerable new drapery which go to Spain and Portugal; the same at Tewkesbury, and Cheltenham abundance of stockings for exportation which are carried to London; but more particularly the Stroud water Fabrick of cloth within four or five miles of the city of Gloucester, most of which is sent to Turkey; ten waggon loads a week are now carried up to the city of London, and the waggons for the most part loaded down with wooll". The broadside calls for "all cities and towns to have an equal share in the exportation of our woollen manufactures". The second title concerns the smuggling of Indian silks & textiles into Britain which had a detrimental effect on the British silk & woollen manufacturers.

Fine copy of the first edition of Lansberg's astronomical tables, published five years after Kepler's Rudolphine Tables, which were based on elliptical orbits. Although a staunch Copernican, Lansberg dismissed Kepler's elliptical model and relied instead on the more traditional epicyclic theory and his own observations of the sun and moon. Lansberg's simpler method was widely adopted in the 1630's until his projections were found to be generally less accurate than Kepler's. The Tabulae were used however by the brilliant young English astronomer Jeremiah Horrocks to observe the Transit of Venus in December 1639, which Lansberg had correctly predicted, leading to a revision of Kepler's own tables.

Many of these prisoners would have been among the 1,500 who surrendered at the Battle of Preston the previous November, those who were not executed or transported being distributed between the gaols of Lancaster, Chester and Liverpool, where many of the trials were held, thanks to the reputation for being staunchly pro-Hanovarian and Whig. The majority of prisoners were to be released by the Act of Indemnity of July 1717. Prince George served as Guardian of that Realm during his father's absence in Hanover from July 1716 to January 1717, but relations between the two deteriorated rapidly, in part due to the popularity garnered by the Prince during his father's absence. On the four future occasions the King visited Hanover he never appointed the Prince as Guardian again. Consequently, documents signed by King George II in this capacity are uncommon.
