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.

* Adultery: Certificate of Decree, Derby, 1614. Certificate of a decree of Robert Bamford, clerk, MA, official of Christopher Helme, LLD, Archdeacon of Derby; sealed at Derby 25 June 1614, confession before him of Sir John Bentley, knight, of The Priory [Breadsell Priory] near Morley [in Derbyshire], accused and defamed of adultery with a certain Katherine Leigh; the judge enjoined a deserved and salutary punishment on account of his excess of immorality, which he afterwards performed, as more fully appears by a trustworthy certificate enrolled in the Archdeacon’s register, by his penitent face, effusion of tears and other just and lawful causes and considerations; decree dismissing him from any further trouble or judicial process; signed by Robert Bamford and Richard Brandreth, registrar; vellum deed with the red wax seal (chipped with slight loss to edges) of the Archdeaconry of Derby appended, 10 x 32 cm (Qty: 1)NOTESSir John Bentley was the son of Humphrey Bentley of Derby and Clement’s Inn ( Derbyshire Visitation Pedigrees 1569 and 1611 (London, 1895) 7; Baker, The Men of Court 1440-1550 302). Sir John was described as a ‘counsellor at law’ in Glover’s History of Derbyshire (1833), which states that he bought Breadsell shortly after 1597. By that year he had married, as his second wife, Mary Leigh, daughter of Thomas Leigh of Adlington in Cheshire; it is possible that the Katherine Leigh mentioned in the document was his relative by marriage. A personal friend of Sir William Cavendish of Chatsworth, he was knighted in the Royal Garden at Whitehall before the coronation of James I on 23 July 1603 (Shaw’s Knights 1 124). His will of 24 August 1621, including a bequest of the profits of York Castle and its gaol, was proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury on 24 May 1622 (TNA PROB 11/139/469). Breadsell was originally a small Augustinian Priory and was later converted to a large Elizabethan house after 1573 by Sir John Bentley. Successive owners have all left their mark on the building, covering the older parts of the building. In 1967 it was bought by the Harper-Crewe family from Calke who sold it for development and it is now a hotel and leisure complex. The most famous resident of Breadsall Priory was the poet, physician and scientist Erasmus Darwin, who lived there for a short time until his death in 1802. Grandfather of Charles Darwin, Erasmus is one of the most remarkable and internationally important figures of the 18th century and is buried in Breadsall church. Christopher Helme of Wiltshire matriculated from Hart Hall, Oxford, aged 18, on 17 December 1576; he was of Merton College when awarded a BA on 23 February 1579, became a fellow in 1580, MA on 18 January 1585 and DCL on 9 July 1594; in 1607 he became rector of Bredon in Worcestershire and Chancellor of the diocese of Worcester; succeeded to the Archdeaconry of Derby in April 1609 and by 1617 had been succeeded by Samuel Clerke. He died in 1628. See Oxford Historical Society 4 273. For letters from Richard Brandreth to Francis Burton regarding search for records relating to lead ore in Dean and Chapter of Lichfield's registry, May 1614, see Derbyshire Record Office D258/7/13/54. A Richard Brandreth, born at Derby c1616, the son of Richard Brandreth, was educated at Repton, matriculated at Christ’s College Cambridge in 1632 and served as headmaster of Derby School, 1652-c1656. Robert Bamford was educated at Brasenose College, Oxofrd (BA 3 February 1574, MA 10 June 1580); see Oxford Historical Society 12 37; he was incorporated at Cambridge in 1600; he served as prebendary of Tachbrook in Lichfield Cathedral, 1597-1629.
