* Charles I (1600-1649). King of England, Scotland & Ireland, 1625-49. Document Signed, 'Carolus R', Beverley, [Yorkshire], 19 July [1642], in Latin, a Royal letters patent to Henry Earl of Bath, Edward Viscount Chichester, Edward Seymore and others, appointing Commissioners of Array for Forces in Devon for the defence of the county against the King's enemies, also calling for beacons to be put in place to give warning of danger, a little ink loss affecting lettering of one or two words near the centre of lines 5-14, a few letters rubbed with a little loss of lettering near lower right margin not affecting sense, blank upper margin clipped at centre [to accommodate tag at lower margin when folded], lacks pendant Great Seal, a little yellowing at extremities (probably from previous framing for display), decorative initial 'C' and signature of the King upper left, countersigned Willys lower right, endorsed 'A Commission of Array for the County of Devon, Willys', 27 x 51 cm, accompanied by an old printed transcription and English translation on two card sheets with mounting remains to extremities where presumably displayed with the documentQty: (1)NOTESAlthough long obsolete, commissions of array were revived by King Charles I in 1642 at the start of the Civil War, in an unconstitutional manner, without Parliament having been consulted, in order to counteract the equally unconstitutional Militia Ordinance enacted by Parliament in 1642 without the usual Royal Assent. Both decrees were issued in order to attempt to gain control of existing militia forces and to raise further troops. The Commission of Array issued by the king thus sought to muster a Royalist army at the onset of the English Civil War. Commissioners were appointed for each county, generally from leading members of the local aristocracy and gentry who might be assumed to wield great influence over their feudal tenants and the population in general. The commissioners proceeded to the major population centres and read out in public gatherings the text of their commission. Frequently such innovative royal decrees, uncertain in precedent and purpose, were met with open hostility on the part of the local inhabitants who suspected them as being instruments designed for general suppression of the people. Opponents of the king, whilst playing down the role of the Militia Ordinance in augmenting civil strife, portrayed the Commission of Array as being a sign that it was the king and not Parliament who was the real aggressor in the developing conflict. 28 Commissioners of Array were appointed in Devon.

* Edward Jenner (1749-1823). Pioneer of smallpox vaccination and the father of immunology. An important unpublished Autograph Letter Signed, 'Edw[ar]d Jenner]', Bond Street, [London], 15 April 1802, to the Yorkshire physician Dr [John Glover] Loy, about vaccination and equination, being an enthusiastic and triumphant response to a pamphlet by Dr Loy [dedicated to Jenner] proving Jenner's own early assertions about the equine origin of cowpox, '… I know of no Production on the Vaccine subject which has afforded me more satisfaction, since it was first brought before the Public, than yours. It contains the Experimentum Crucis & has effectually put a stop to the sneers of those little minded Persons who think everything impossible which does not come within the narrow sphere of their own comprehension. I regret that your confirmation of the Fact I had adduced, is not more generally known. You will be surprised to hear that this day before a Committee of the House of Commons, Dr [George] Pearson exalted at having refuted my preposterous supposition respecting the origin of the Cowpox. This circumstance alone will, I trust, induce you to send some of your pamphlets to London where they have a long time been loudly call’d for and I hope too that you will fully advertise it in the London Papers. …', concluding the letter with indirect reference to true and spurious horsepox, 3 pages with further text written horizontally at head and foot of page 4 (inside folds of address panel), some age wear to folds, small contemporary light blue-green stain to one fold intersection in lower part of letter, with very slight acidic loss to paper but barely touching letters and with no loss of sense and away from signature, indistinct circular postmark and seal remains, address and outer panels soiled, 4to, together with a half-length oval albumen print portrait of Dr Loy as an elderly man, 1850s, 9 x 7 cm, passe-partout mount within decorative oval wooden wall frame, inscribed 'Dr Loy' in an old hand to backing paper, overall 27 x 23 cmQty: (2)NOTESFrom the family of Dr John Glover Loy (1774-1865) by direct descent. An important unpublished letter concerning the work of Dr Loy which proved Jenner's view that the origins of cowpox was a disease of horses known as 'grease' (horsepox), and supported the role of horsepox in the prevention of smallpox. W.R. LeFanu, A Bio-Bibliography of Edward Jenner 1749-1823 lists only 3 letters from Loy to Jenner, 26 December 1802 and two undated letters from 1803. See John G. Loy, An Account of Some Experiments on the Origin of Cow-Pox, Whitby, 1801. Dedicated 'To Edward Jenner, M.D., F.R.S., F.L.S., etc.'. 13 October 1801. [LeFanu, p. 151] José Esparza, Livia Schrick, Clarissa R. Damaso & Andreas Nitsche, 'Equination (inoculation of horsepox): 'An early alternative to vaccination (inoculation of cowpox) and the potential role of horsepox virus in the origin of the smallpox vaccine', Vaccine, 35:52, 19 December 2017, pp. 7222-7230: 'A little-known fact is that Edward Jenner himself considered that the preventative against smallpox which is present in cowpox lesions, in fact derived from a disease of horses known as “grease” (horsepox). Early in the 19th century, European physicians conducted experiments that seemed to confirm the hypothesis that horsepox could protect against smallpox. Because of the relative rarity of cases of spontaneous cowpox, matter obtained from either cowpox or horsepox was interchangeably used in the protection against smallpox. Congruent with the use of the word vaccination, the inoculation from the horse (Lat. equus) was referred to as “equination”.' (p. 7223). 'The first independent evidence in support of a horsepox role in the prevention of smallpox was published in 1801 by John Glover Loy, a Yorkshire physician. Loy described several cases of people who became infected while treating horses suffering from grease or of individuals inoculated with horse matter that had been passaged in cows. Loy reported that the lesions produced had exactly the appearance of genuine cowpox, and in many cases the individuals were shown to be protected from variolation. A most important observation made by Loy was that “two kinds of Grease exist, differing from each other in the power of giving disease to the human or brute animal”, an observation that mirrors Jenner’s description of “true” and of “spurious” cowpox, which could explain the lack of success of some earlier investigators who attempted to equinate. The work of Loy was not in total agreement with Jenner’s original hypothesis which required that the horse matter was first modified by a passage in the cow before it could fully function as a preventative of smallpox. Nevertheless, Jenner considered that Loy’s work “decisively proves (his) early assertions” about the horse origin of vaccinia, although Jenner never again adopted the horsepox theory in his publications. Additional confirmation of the horsepox hypothesis was provided by Luigi Sacco, an Italian physician responsible for the early introduction and widespread use of vaccination in Northern Italy. In a letter from Sacco to Jenner, dated 25 March 1803, he explains that after reading the book by John Loy, he was encouraged to continue his own experiments to try to obtain the vaccine from horses with grease.'

This and the folio Oxford edition of the same year are known as the Oxford "Standard" editions, being a revision of the Authorised version by Benjamin Blayney following the lines of Paris’s Cambridge edition of 1762. According to the editor's Report the quarto was finished first, the folio being afterwards printed from the same type, differently disposed. The example in the collection cited by Herbert/Darlow & Moule refers to the copy having 'a MS. note by Josiah Pratt (1768–1844, English clergyman) states that 'a great part of the folio edition of 1769 having been destroyed at Woodmason's fire, a copy of that edition is scarcely to be purchased at any price. A copy of this edition is also very rarely to be met with; sometimes it may be found with a New Testament of later date substituted for that of 1769'.
