Turkey.- Parliamentary Papers.- Part XVII. Eastern Papers. Firman and Hatti-Sherif by the Sultan, relative to Privileges and Reforms in Turkey, 10pp., text in French and English, contemporary ink signature and note in red at head of title, a little soiled and stained, disbound, frayed at edges with slight loss, folio, 1856. ⁂ Transcript of important decree by Sultan Abdülmecid I, known as Hatt-ı Hümayun or the Imperial Reform Edict. This promised equality in education, government appointments, and administration of justice to all regardless of creed. Britain and France had assisted the Ottoman Empire against the Russians in the Crimean War of 1853-56 and this was seen as an attempt to please the Western powers. Although acceptance of the "minorities" and the promise of equality was well-received other requirements of the edict were not, such as compulsory military service, and some discontent resulted, especially among the Armenian Patriarchate.

(12 x 16 7/8 in), sheets approx. 400 x 570 mm. (15 3/4 x 22 1/2 in), some minor spotting and browning, mainly to margins, published by the artist, [circa 1787-1788], [bound with] Cook (Capt. James) [Atlas to accompany Captain James Cook's account of his voyages to the Pacific Ocean in the years 1776-1780], including two maps and 58 plates (of 61), without title and lacking plate nos. 27-29, without text leaves, engravings, on various laid papers, each sheet approx. 400 x 570 mm. (15 3/4 x 22 1/2 in), the front and back flyleaf watermarked 'J. Whatman 1821', occasional spotting and browning, some minor loss to margins in corners, bound in contemporary half-calf, spine gilt lettered, elephant folio, [circa 1784-1821]. Literature: [the four views] Joppien, Rüdiger and Smith, Bernard 'The Art of Captain Cook's Voyages', Yale, 1988, see nos. 3.44b; 3.157b; 3.120c; 3.397c ⁂ A very scarce set of Webber's "unpublished" aquatint views. Presumably bound together by an early collector, the four views in the present volume were Webber's first foray into the aquatint process and were separate from his later publication, Views in the South Seas. Only one of the four plates appears in this later publication, A View in Pulo Condore, but notably the buffalo driver is positioned differently, the lettering has changed, and it is printed in colour rather than monochrome; the variant states suggests that the present group of four are from an earlier printing, before the plate was re-worked, and before it appeared in Boydell's publication circa 1808-1820. Joppien and Smith record 3 or 4 other known impressions of these plates, with all but one or two in public collections (see The British Museum; Alexander Turnbull Library, Wellington; National Library of Australia), and at the time of publication they wrote of two of the plates: "The subject was not included in the later series of Webber's 'Views'. No other versions are known to exist." [Joppien, op. cit., nos. 3.120c and 3.157b]
