The speech has some variation and omissions from the fullest known text which was published for the first time in 1654. It is unclear whether Drake was present as intimated here, at Tilbury, on 9 August, as on 7 August he was at Gravelines, ordering the sending in of fire ships to attack the Armada in harbour. (2). [Henrietta Maria (Queen, consort of Charles I, 1609-69)] A Message from the Queen's Ma:tie to the House of Commons by Mr Comptroller...", 1p., [Rushworth iv 169], 6th February 1640.Henrietta Maria's message to the House of Commons on a variety of matters, including that she was willing to persuade the king to recall parliament, her acknowledgement that her approach to the pope to gain support for the king's northern wars was "distastfull to ye Kingdome...", and promising that she would not flaunt her Catholicism.(3). [Lenthall (William, lawyer and speaker of the House of Commons, 1591-1662)] Mr Lentall speaker of the Commons house his speech in the upper house of Parliament 5th November 1640, 14pp., [Rushworth iv 17], 1640.Lenthall's speech to the king in the House of Lords in which he accepts the Speakership of the House of Commons, with the king's affirmation.(4).

Charles R, 1p., Holdenby, 6th March 1646 [1647].A letter from the king imprisoned at Holdenby Hall, Northamptonshire, to parliament asking for "some of my Chaplins whom I esteme & reverend". The request fell on deaf ears, "for the whole of his time at Newcastle and Holdenby (May 1646–June 1647) he was refused his own choice of chaplains and offered only rigid presbyterians, whose services he spurned. He attended no act of worship and denied himself the sacrament of holy communion throughout that time." - Oxford DNB.(5).

The king had gone to war in Scotland without enough money and now faced the dilemma of calling on parliament, in abeyance since 1629, to make him a financial grant. The Short Parliament sat for only three weeks between April and May 1640, parliament being more interested in the redressing of its grievances with the perceived arbitrary powers of the crown. The Long Parliament, so called because it lasted intermittently from 1640 to 1660, proved to be equally intractable and eventually led to the king raising his standard at Nottingham in 1642, and to the start of the Civil War. The Scots and English wars were distinct, but both were inextricably entwined. The king had gone to war in Scotland in an attempt to impose changes in religious practice which brought about the Covenant and the expulsion of the bishops. The Civil War in England was about the governance of the realm, either through the authority of king or parliament. Both wars were ultimately about the sovereignty of the crown. These political tracts, many with folds, would have circulated in manuscript among the population, before being bound up later in the century.Provenance: Typed note of Roger Warner Antiques, Burford, "Purchased from sale of Library at Moccas Court, Herefordshire, property of Sir Geoffrey Cornewall, Bt.

The Lord Roberts Memorial Fund Stamp Album, in memory of disabled soldiers and sailors, published by Fawcett & Co 125 Strand W.C. This khaki and gilt example is complete with collector cards inside. Note: The idea for the fund originated in December 1908, when the Daily Telegraph celebrated its half centenary, by holding a dinner for 700 Crimean and Indian Mutiny veterans. Lord Roberts was the guest speaker and after paying tribute to the soldiers Lord Roberts VC walked amongst them and learnt that many of them were living in poverty. Lord Roberts immediately launched an appeal to help them, the money raised assisted over 800 ex-soldiers. After his subsequent death The Lord Roberts Memorial Fund was launched and soon £500,000 was raised which enabled the first workshop for disabled soldiers was opened in Fulham. The collectors album of 'war stamps' was one of many ways money was raised to continue this important work when British soldiers at the time were engaged in the First World War.

[ Peterloo Massacre ] A copy of Ralph Fletcher's oath of office as justice of the peace 1797, together with a small quantity of personal paperwork relating to the Fletcher family of Lancashire, comprising a letter to Miss Fletcher, a contract with Jacob Fletcher and his sons, a sermon dated 1803 and inscribed to Ralph Fletcher, minutes from a meeting relating to a portrait of the late Col. Fletcher, a sworn allegiance for John Fletcher to serve George IV in the Bolton Yeomanry Cavalry dated 1825 and his commission as a Lieutenant in the Duke of Lancaster's Corps of Yeomanry, by Edward, Earl of Derby, dated 1835[The Fletcher family were well-known industrialists in Lancashire owning mines and mills around Atherton. Ralph Fletcher (1757-1832), was colonel of the Bolton Volunteers, deputy Grand Master of the Grand Orange Lodge of England, spymaster and one of the local magistrates who triggered, then witnessed, the tragic events leading to the 1819 Peterloo Massacre in Manchester. Fletcher was a fierce loyalist who used his public roles as a soldier and magistrate to suppress radical political activism in the cotton towns of the north west of England whilst also running government spies and agents provocateurs in the region. In 1808, after the Bolton Volunteers disbanded, Fletcher took command of the local militia. During 1812 Luddites had been attacking Lancashire cotton mills in reaction to the widespread introduction of power looms. On 28 April 1812, Westhoughton Mill near Bolton, with 200 steam powered looms, was targeted and despite the late intervention of the militia, was burnt to the ground. In the reprisals which followed, coordinated by Fletcher, four men were hanged and nine transported. Although his spies were suspected of inciting the violence at the mill, for this service and his other activities against the Luddite threat, Fletcher was rewarded with a silver cup at a meeting on 12 July 1812 chaired by his fellow magistrate Thomas Ainsworth. By 1819, the Luddites had been suppressed only to be replaced by a new popular movement for political reform. On 16 August 1819 the Manchester Patriotic Union, a group agitating for parliamentary reform, organised a mass demonstration attracting up to 60,000 people. The local magistrates, including Fletcher, met in a house overlooking St. Peter’s Field where the crowd had gathered. When their attempt to arrest the speaker at the rally failed, they summoned the cavalry to help enforce the warrant. The local yeomanry responded first but, inexperienced, panicked and started cutting down the crowd. Regular Hussars then arrived to disperse the demonstration creating further chaos which led to the deaths of at least 11 people with a further 600 wounded. During the melée, Fletcher was seen beating some demonstrators with his stick. Despite their responsibility for decisions which led to the massacre, the magistrates were exonerated by the government and congratulated by the Prince Regent. In 1822, Fletcher received another large cup in appreciation of his services, this time from the people of Bury. Colonel Fletcher was in command of the Bolton Volunteers in 1805 when they were called upon to defend England from Napoleon’s proposed invasion martyndowner.com/current-exhibitions/peterloo-magistrates-cup]
