PREFACE. NEARLY

twelve years ago (Christmas, 1886) I printed a small cata-

logue of English Proclamations, and in a few words of prefatory matter I made a promise, which I am now able to redeem. I said then that I meant to print a list of Black Letter Ballads, and of Broadsides in prose and verse, which would form a continuation to the work, and that I would defer any remarks on the subject until I was able to combine the two together. Changes of view advance with the lapse of time, and my little catalogue of Proclamations has grown from some 130 pages to three folio volumes ; the Ballads in Black Letter have been issued, and at last the British Broadsides are completed and now offered to my friends. The arrangement adopted here is, I think, the only satisfactory one—the chronological order—provided always that a good index of all sorts of information is provided by the compiler. The only other catalogue of this nature that I am acquainted

with is that of the collection in the library of the Society of Antiquaries, compiled by Mr. Robert Lemon, F.S.A. The collection belonging to the Chetham Library has what is called a catalogue, or rather what might have been made into a good catalogue, provided the original manuscript had been cut up and arranged in some order or other, alphabetical, chronological, subject or what not; but, as it is now, its only merit is that it is numerical. I cannot pretend to rival the famous collection of the Society of Antiquaries, which possesses so great a number of early examples of printing, but it must be borne in mind that that collection was made many years ago, at a time when such matter was thought trash. Even yet this class of bibliomania is caviar to the multitude, and I am often told that I waste time in collecting and arranging them. But I hold that these old prints are as worthy, in their way, of care and attention as any other branch of the library, and the getting them together has been of the greatest interest to me.

Almost all of

them reflect the opinion of the day on its special subject.

Later on,

the Broadside which was printed one day and lost the next was displaced by the pamphlet, the natural sequence of cheaper printing and paper, and greater facilities of distribution.

That, however, has al-

most passed into desuetude in favour of the " letter to the local newspaper."

The result is the same : if we wish to learn the popular

thought on matters of imperial interest, or of the bad behaviour of the village sexton, we have always to go back in our researches to the humble Broadside or its more modern equivalent. It is mainly for these reasons that this class of literature has laid

preface. so great a fascination upon me.

ix

I have not confined myself to our

own islands, but I have followed my inclinations boldly on to the Continent, though with the exception of those printed in Rome (some 8000 of Ecclesiastical and Civil Government), I have directed my energies principally to what may be termed the period of the French Revolution and the various turmoils of Europe.

In this

subject, and that of the Roman issues, I think I may say that the collection is probably second to none.

In due course these Foreign

Broadsides will be taken in hand and issued. It will be noticed that some of the more interesting entries in the following catalogue give as a note " See Facsimiles No.

."

These reproductions I do not intend to issue with the catalogue itself as it would involve folding plates.

Anything that seems to me of

sufficient interest I have photographed full size, and I shall issue occasionally a portfolio of prints to illustrate my catalogues.

When

I printed my Ballads I had not thought of this, but I shall print a flyleaf of those photographed, which may be inserted in the volume. This series of Facsimiles may. In fact, be taken as the illustrations to the general catalogue of the library in both branches, manuscript and printed matter. A word now as to the preservation of this collection.

They

have been dealt with In the same manner as the Ballads, i.e., each is mounted on a sheet of stout paper or card and ranged in its true chronological order In strong "book boxes." I fully recognise that " laying down " on a mount is by many considered to be a thing that should be avoided if possible, but I

hold that the well-being and safety of these flying sheets is so greatly enhanced as to outweigh the objections alluded to.

If they were

bound in volumes the mere diversity of size would render them awkward to use, and it would not be easy to insert fresh acquisitions in their proper place. Mr. Edmond has dealt fully in his Introduction of the methods and rules adopted, and has at my request added a note drawing the attention of the reader to some of the more interesting features of the collection. Agreeing with me as to the vital importance of the index, he has spared no pains to render it a key to the volume, and I hope that it will be found to others as satisfactory as it is to myself.

INTRODUCTION. the compilation of this catalogue certain rules have been adhered to as closely as possible, and it is well that they should be stated IN

so that readers may know what they may reasonably expect to find when they consult it for any particular purpose. In the first place, the broadsides included are in prose, or the prose occupies so prominent a position that its value was thought to be greater than any lines of verse, ballad, or other poetical effusion that they might contain.

This rule has been laid aside in Nos. 6 and

8, two early broadsides in Latin verse, which seemed to find a more fitting place here than in a catalogue of English songs and ballads. The broadsides are not necessarily written in English ; to have imposed such a limitation would have excluded the interesting and rare Indulgence, No. 4, besides several academical pieces of a later date.

However, it may fairly be claimed for all that they are either

written in English, printed in some part of the British Empire, or have a distinct bearing on English history and institutions. It has been a question of some difficulty to determine what constitutes a broadside. Some would limit this form of literature to single sheets of paper printed on one side only.

In this collection a

wider range has been taken by including prints of two pages. If this had not been done there would have arisen awkward points for settlement, as, for instance, where a printed docket is on the second page of the sheet, or where the sheet was printed on one side only, but on the second and third pages, or again, when the same broadside appeared in two editions, one printed only on one side of the paper and the other perhaps in larger type filling both sides. In fact, by this extension (if the use of such a term may be allowed) of the definition broadside or broadsheet, we obtain a much more satisfactory line of demarcation, beyond which lie the tracts. As the latter must have at least two leaves, or three printed pages, counting from the title-page onwards, there need be no mixing up of them with their more ephemeral neighbours, the broadsides. It is possible that some of the prints included in this collection may have had more than two pages when issued, but their presence must be apologised for as unintentional—in one case, at least, the fact was not discovered until too late. The title-heading and imprint have almost invariably been printed exactly as in the original. Peculiarities of typography have been reproduced as far as possible, but beyond the use of capitals at the beginning of words where they occur, or of words which are printed entirely in capitals in the originals, no attempt has been made to reproduce the form or size of letter. To have introduced italics and several sizes of roman capitals would have certainly approached the ideal, but it is doubtful if the increased expenditure of time and money would have been justifiable. Where there was no titleheading proper, the opening words have been quoted, at sufficient length to ensure identification. Where no imprint is given, the probable place of printing and date have been placed within square brackets.

The mention of date recalls to mind a very important feature in the catalogue. As Lord Crawford in his preface has observed, the order is chronological, and he has justly remarked that it was the only satisfactory arrangement for such a work. But the most superficial examination of the entries will show that a very large proportion of the broadsides issued from the press without dates, or only with the year in which they were printed. It would, of course, have been comparatively easy to have grouped the undated entries roughly under periods or reigns, but a far more arduous task has been attempted, and that is to determine not only the year, but the month and even in many cases the probable day to which the broadsides belong.

That is to say, we have had to discover from internal

evidence to what particular event these undated sheets refer, and, from sources of information far too numerous to mention here, to decide the exact date to which they can be with probability assigned. These dates, in some instances, refer to the historical event recorded, in others to the date of the issue as a broadside of the record of that event.

The compiler is perfectly aware that many of the dates so

assigned may be called in question, but he can assure his future critics that no one can be more conscious of the defects of this particular part of the catalogue than he is, and it must be borne in mind that, with the exception of the catalogue of the collection in the library of the Society of Antiquaries, it is the first time a catalogue dealing with this class of literature and arranged chronologically has been attempted. The remaining rules may be dismissed in a few lines.

The sizes

have been stated according to the watermarks, as folio, quarto or octavo. The term folio is used indiscriminately for one leaf of a sheet of paper which has been folded in two and cut apart, or for the whole sheet of paper, without folding, which was so commonly used for

broadsides.

It is a matter of regret that the size in centimetres was

not added, as that would have conveyed a more accurate impression to the mind than the form-size alone. by B. L., for black letter,

The type has been indicated

for roman letter; when italic letter is

employed, or a mixture of different kinds, it is plainly stated. cuts, borders, or other pictorial features are duly mentioned.

Wood-

The short notes appended to a great many of the entries are for the most part simply explanatory of the purport of the broadside when such was not clearly indicated in the transcript of the title.

In

some cases these notes have been carried perhaps to undue length, but this inequality of treatment has arisen from the compilation having been carried on in spare moments over the lengthened period of seven years. The " List of printers, publishers and booksellers " does not call for any comment beyond this—that the dates within which certain of the printers carried on business are not necessarily those of the broadsides in this collection, although all fall within the period named.

These dates have been compiled from a corresponding list

in the Catalogue of English Ballads issued by Lord Crawford, Mr. Gray's admirable Index to Hazlitt's series of Bibliographical Collections and Notes, and stray references to many catalogues and books on printing. The index, without which a catalogue compiled and arranged like this would have been useless, is deserving of notice and explanation. It has been made as full as possible, perhaps some will say that many of the entries might very well have been spared, but all can be justified.

It is a combined index of titles, authors, subjects,

names of places or of persons mentioned in titles, and in many instances of events or names which occur either in the broadside itself, but not in the title, or which are introduced into the explanatory notes.

3nfro^ucfion.

xvii

No pains have been spared to assist the literary toiler or historian. The large groups under such subjects as Ireland, Parliament, Scotland, William in., &c., will show at a glance the utility of such an index for purposes of research. It was considered that as so very large a proportion of the broadsides are anonymous the title entry was of paramount importance. The entry under the first word of the title, other than a date or place from which the writing was dated, has been strictly adhered to, even when it may to cataloguers or indexers appear to be absurd. When there is no title proper the opening words take the place of the title entry.

The necessity for this has

become so apparent to those using the collection, if for no other purpose than for the identification of duplicates, that apology seems superfluous. It has not always been an easy matter to determine whether the author of a sheet was really the person stated on it. Some are evidently satires ; others, like the speeches of monarchs, can only be credited to them by courtesy. In order to establish a marked distinction, authors' names are printed in italics opposite the various pieces which they are thought to have written.

These pre-

cede the broadsides, in which the person named may be either the subject or to whom allusion may be made in the title or explanatory note. The spelling of place names, and also'of personal names in certain cases, has been regulated by modern usage for the entry in the index under these names. In other places where they occur in the index, the spelling in the broadside, frequently amusingly phonetic, has been adhered to. Peers are entered under their family names, with cross references from their titles. Where only a single entry occurs opposite a peer's name the entries are in full under both family name and title. At the foot of each page of the index a " Key to Dates" will be found, which states the period within which the broadsides fall. The period covered by the broadsides is a long one—close on

xviii

400 years.

They are very unequally distributed over the various

reigns, as will be seen by reference to the running headline.

The

scantiness of the earlier time may be accounted for in two ways. There is first the great rarity of broadsides printed in the time of the Tudor Kings and Queens, and of James i. has been made in the preface.

To this reference

But there is another element, and that

is that the broadside in prose was not then so commonly employed as an ebullition of popular feeling.

Their use gradually increased

during the Civil War, and seems to have reached a culminating point in the reign of James 11.

After that date, although still

numerous even during the reigns of the Georges, they may be said to be on the decline.

With the increase of the number of news-

papers and the greater liberty of the press during the last two reigns, they have almost ceased, except during the time of elections. This will be evident when we examine the collection, which is fairly representative of nearly the whole period from the Restoration to the present time. It will be now convenient to refer to the most notable entries in the catalogue. The Indulgences (Nos. 1-4) have an especial interest as examples of early English printing. Two of them are believed to be from the press of Wynkyn de Worde ; the others bear Pynson's name as the printer.

It has been possible to determine the date of printing

of No. I to be within the Pontificate of Julius 11. (1503-1513), which the authorities of the British Museum were unable to do, as their copy seems to have been still more imperfect than that in the present collection, and the only clue to the probable date was the mention of Pope Alexander vi. in the opening words. Nos. 3 and 4 have, besides, a topographical interest, the former as being connected with Grey Friars' Monastery in Ipswich, and the latter with the Monastery of the Crutched Friars near Colchester.

Jnftobttcfton.

The entries under the reign of Queen Elizabeth are " An Admonition" (No. 5), which was issued by Edmund Grindal, Bishop of London, on precautions against the spread of the plague ; the verses (No. 6) by Theodore de Beze, addressed to Queen Elizabeth, on the defeat of the Spanish Armada ; and the " Golden Speech," an engraved sheet, which, although placed here, may have been published at a later date. The only entry, deserving mention, which certainly falls within the reign of James i., is No. 8, the verses on the death of Theodore de Beze by Robert OHphant.

This copy is important because of the

manuscript note, in which the author states that he composed the lines at Geneva in the month of March, 1606.

Being a Scot and

accustomed to reckon the commencement of the year at ist January, there is little doubt that the writer meant 1606 and not 1606-7. The " Horn Book" (No. 11), which was probably printed about the year 1625, is one of the most important sheets in the collection. As Raban, who printed it, is known to have worked in Aberdeen from 1622 to 1649, this horn book, or rather horn books—for there are in reality four, all different, which have never been cut asunder for mounting on the wooden boards—are the earliest examples of this most rudimentary form of school-book, which can be dated with any degree of certainty. In the time of Charles i., and during the Commonwealth, the majority of popular effusions appeared in the small quarto form. The broadside was, of course, always in use for the Proclamations, Ordinances and other sheets issued by the various authorities, but these belong to another class, yet to be dealt with in another catalogue. However, we have here some which are worthy of mention, particularly the "Injunctions" (No. 13), which is dated 1634 and is the earliest sheet in the collection dealing with Scotland.

They were

XX

issued by authority of the Edinburgh municipality, and prescribe that four stablers are to be chosen and appointed postmasters, and a tariff fixed for horse-hire.

Ireland and Irish affairs are referred to in Nos,

20, 21, 23, 25, 26 and 29.

Three of these entries relate to the land,

the others to the troubles in Ulster during 1641-2.

The mutterings

of discontent in England are not heard of until we come to No. 22, an interesting letter written by William Newton from the Hague, in which he tells of the visit of the Queen Consort of Charles i. to Holland.

The attitude of the Dutch was certainly not encouraging

to the Queen, who does not appear to have received the support which she hoped for. In No. 24 we have the first direct mention of the struggle between the King and the Parliament. The tone of His Majesty's speech is most kingly, and the fears he had expressed for his own safety, and which the Parliament declared to be trivial and groundless, were destined to be but too well founded.

The march of

events, fully displayed in the quarto news-sheets of the day during the Great Rebellion, is here but feebly reflected ; but, besides declarations, propositions, speeches and the like, we have in No. 32 the account of an engagement on 23rd August, 1642, at or near Coventry, which ended in a victory gained by the parliamentary forces under Lord Brooke.

In No. 38 the battle of Selby is related, and in No. 46

the surrender of Colchester, in a letter sent by John Rushworth to Lenthal, the Speaker of the House of Commons. Under the Commonwealth the most notable entries are found after the iron heel of Oliver Cromwell had been removed from the necks of the people. The intolerable tyranny of both Army and Parliament is seen in No. 60, where the Parliament is congratulated on having mastered the Army, and, in No. 61, a letter from General Monk, in which the Army is called upon to see that the Parliament put a legal period to their sitting.

The letter to Monk (No. 66) is

Jnfro^ucfion.

xxi

worth attention from the mention of the speech of that General, in which he so provoked the Parliament by fixing upon them a character in his speech "which the whole body of our language cannot equal, and they can never forgive or forget, for it will live as long as the name of Rump that spawn'd them." With the Restoration we have, in Nos. 75, "]"], 79 and 80, lists of the regicides; in No. 81 a curious "Catalogue of Pensioners in the Long Parliament; " and in No. 83 a list of those who died in defence of their king and country.

Perhaps one of the most interesting

groups is the very rare series, numbered consecutively from 89 to 99, of regulations issued by the Lord Mayor and the physicians during the year 1665, when London was visited with the plague. The notorious pair of judges, Sir William Scroggs and Sir George Jeffreys, come on the scene in No. 121 in a very curious satire, in which Scroggs addresses Jeffreys on the conduct of the Court.

It is

evidently a parody of a speech which was made by Scroggs on the occasion of his taking his seat as Lord Chief Justice of the King's Bench.

With No. 124, "An Answer to the Plarl of Danby's paper

touching the murther of Sir Edmondbury Godfrey," the Popi-sh Plot with all its attendant horrors begins. The prints relating to it are many and varied in interest and importance. Executions of priests of the Church of Rome are related in Nos. 131, 132, 133; and the condemnation and execution of Viscount Stafford in Nos. 165 and 170.

The speech made by the Earl of Shaftsbury (No. 180) on

20th November, 1680, received the not uncommon distinction, in those days, of being "burnt by the hand of the common hangman," as mentioned in a manuscript note in a contemporary hand.

Its out-

spoken nature, demanding that there "must be, in plain English, a change ; we must neither have Popish wife, nor Popish favourite, nor Popish mistress, nor Popish councellor at Court, or any new convert,"

xxii

Jnfro^ucfton.

cannot have failed to make the writing particularly obnoxious to the Government.

The distrust with which James, Duke of York, was

regarded produced much discussion on the succession to the Crown. To mention only a few of the entries which more or less deal with that question : in No. 200 we have an imaginary conversation between the Duke of York and the Parliament; No. 202, a paper entitled "Vox Populi, Vox Dei," in which the voice of the people is asserted to be " No Popish Successor ;" and the various petitions, some for and some against the policy of the Government.

Plot

succeeds plot, and in No. 226 we have "A New Discovery of the Sham-Presbyterian Plot," a curious paper in which James Carol accuses Lamport, an Irish Papist, of having endeavoured to suborn him.

The executions of Edward Fitzharris, of Oliver Plunket, the

titular Primate of Ireland, and of Stephen College, are related in various broadsheets under the year 1681.

In Nos. 231 to 234 we

have a curious series of lampoons on the infamous Titus Gates, whose downfall in the reign of James 11. and partial recovery of favour after the Revolution can be traced by referring to his name in the index. Other broadsides on this subject will be found by referring to the Catalogue of English Ballads. The taking away of the Charter of the City of London by Charles 11., an oppressive measure which led to great dissatisfaction, can be studied in Nos. 273, 274, 291 and 292, and the interference of the Court in the election of sheriffs finds frequent mention in the entries during the years 1682 and 1683,

With the discovery of the Rye-House Plot

we have a series of prints of considerable historical importance. The first, No. 294, "The Hue and Cry after James, Duke of Monmouth,

Lord Grey and Sir Thomas Armstrong," was evidently

printed immediately after the publication of the Proclamation for apprehending the three conspirators named on this~ sheet.

The

5nfroiucfton.

xxiii

places in which search is to be made for them indicate the scant measure of respect in which they were held. The trials, executions and other papers on this plot will be found under Nos. 295 to 303, and reappear in Nos. 324, 328, 329, which relate to the apprehension, sentence and execution of Sir Thomas Armstrong. The war carried on by the Turks against the Emperor of Germany is the subject of Nos. 304 to 306, which are narratives of the siege of Vienna ; No. 331, a letter from the King of Poland, who is setting out with a large army to attack the Turks ; No. 332, an account of the taking of Barthfeld by the Christians ; and No. 340, a relation of a victory over Count Teckely, and of a battle fought between the Duke of Lorraine and Serasquier Bassa, before Buda. The reign of James 11. has been already referred to as containing the continuation of the series of broadsides on Titus Gates.

It

is further remarkable for that on the rising in the West of England in favour of the Duke of Monmouth.

This mushroom rebellion was

answerable for much paper and print, and perhaps one of the most valuable is the broadside No. 376, which is Monmouth's letter to the Duke of Albemarle requesting him to render himself at his camp and recognise him as king in succession to Charles 11. Albemarle's answer is a refusal to recognise any other than James 11. as his lawful sovereign.

The future proceedings against the rebels, which will be

handed down to all time as the " Bloody Assize," are related in Nos. 380, 384 to 387, and 404. There is little calling for special notice until we come to the end of the reign of James 11. The paper entitled " Character," No. 440, an eulogy of William, Prince of Grange, is rapidly followed by prints issued by that Prince, or by his friends, on his landing in England. The letters by Prince George of Denmark and Lord Churchill (No. 455), addressed to James 11., and of the Princess Anne of Denmark (No. 456) to the Queen, her

xxiv

3nfro&ucfion.

mother, are historical documents of interest and recognised value. The withdrawal of the King from Rochester (No. 466) is the first entry dealing with affairs in England during the period of Interregnum.

This is followed by one of many publications contained in

this collection from the pen of that curious "mixture of benevolence and madness," Mrs. Eleanor James, who alternately praised, coaxed and scolded the Parliaments and reigning sovereigns, from Charles II. to George i.

In this one (No. 467) she professes a desire that

the Prince of Orange should unchain the King from the Popish yoke and restore him to the Church of England.

It vi^ill be unnecessary

to allude again to the productions of Mrs. James, the full list of which can be seen by referring to the index.

The Convention, and

the important questions of the vacancy of the throne, and whether the Crown was to be conferred on the Prince and Princess of Orange jointly, or only on one of them, are the subjects of Nos. 478 to 504, which last is followed by a letter from William (No. 505) intimating to the States-General of the United Provinces that he and Mary have been proclaimed King and Queen of England. The entries under the reign of William and Mary and of William in. are so numerous that we can only refer briefly to a few of the more interesting. The miserable end of Judge Jeffreys finds a place in Nos. 527 to 529, the last of which gives an account of his remarkable career— " In little more than seven years " he had mounted " from a Finsbury Petty-fogger to a Lord High Chancellor of England."

The stand

made in Ireland by King James 11. is the subject of many of the broadsides from No. 540 onwards. Of these we have, in 541 and 542, interesting accounts of the siege of Londonderry ; in 544, of the battle of Newton Butler ; in 549, of the success of the Irish under Sarsefield at James-Town ; in 566, of the battle of Beltarbet; and

3nfroittcfion.

xxv

in 581 and 582 two accounts of the decisive victory gained by William at the passage of the Boyne, which, although it resulted in the flight of King James to Dublin, cost the victorious army their great general, the Duke of Schomberg, who was killed in the battle. The wars, both on land and at sea, carried on against the Continental powers are the subjects of many entries in this reign.

Nos. 637 to

640 refer to the engagement off Cape La Hogue, and in No. 654 we have a list of the vessels in the combined English and Dutch fleets, with their armaments and the number of seamen on each.

The

battle of Landen, where William in. was defeated by Marshal Luxemburg, the commander of the French forces, is related in No. 660, and the taking of Namur in No. 686.

The Assassination Plot

is the subject of Nos. 697 to 701 ; No. 698 being the text of "The Association," or engagement, which all office-holders under Government were required to enter into, having for its object the defence of the King and the discovery of the plotters. In this reign the entries dealing with trade and commerce are much more numerous than hitherto.

The disastrous Darien Scheme

is the subject of five or six entries, beginning with No. 702. The various proposals of a chimerical nature put forth by Chamberlain and Briscoe for a Land Bank are met with in Nos. 667 and several other numbers.

The scarcity of money in 1695-6 is dealt with in

several schemes, such as No. 689, " The Mint and Exchequer United," and No. 712, " Some reasons for the speedy opening of the Mint." Lotteries are the subject of Nos. 690 to 692 ; life insurance of No. 735 ; and fire insurance of No. "j"]-^. The unpopularity of William iii. with his subjects is strikingly brought out in No. 807, "Some Remarks upon our Affairs."

The writer remarks that

William "is avaricious of our money, and as lavish in laying it out, and lets the trade of England sink ... he is sour, silent, sullen and

xxvi

Jttft-obuctton.

almost insolent; to be sure unmannerly, for there is a decorum even due from kings. ..." A foremost place should be allowed in the reign of Queen Anne to the broadsides relating to the foreign wars.

The interesting series

of newsletters give many particulars of the progress of affairs abroad, while other sheets contain more minute accounts of various engagements, such as the Expresses from the Duke of Marlborough, Nos. 870 and 873, one giving the victory gained at Donauwerth and the other at Blenheim.

The Union of Scotland with England produced

quite a crop of petitions, addresses, speeches and letters, a fair number of which will be found between Nos. 921 and 937, and bear witness to a high state of tension in the feelings of many classes of Scotsmen.

The Scottish broadsides in this reign relating to both

ecclesiastical and civil affairs are well represented, perhaps the most interesting being Nos. 900, 948 and (in a later reign) 1175, all referring to the publication of Anderson's " Diplomata ;" Nos. 991 and 992, which give respectively " The Case of James Greenshields " and "The Defence of the Magistrates of Edinburgh, and Lords of Session, against the Appeal of Greenshields."

This was a cause

cdlebre in which the penal laws against the Episcopal Clergy in Scotland were enforced, and Greenshields imprisoned for reading the Liturgy in a private house in Edinburgh. There are several Acts issued by the Edinburgh municipal authorities, such as No. 860, against adultery; No. 861, against playing at cards and dice; and No. 990, for regulating the price of bread. Sacheverell's trial is the subject of a group beginning with No. 979, a ticket of admission to Westminster Hall; Nos. 980 and 982 are lists of the Peers who gave judgment in the trial, and of the Commons who voted the impeachment of Sacheverell; while No. 981 is a lampoon on the burning of his writings, by Resolution of

3nfro^ucfion. Parliament.

xxvii

Nos. 983 and 997 have reference, one to the condemna-

tion of Sacheverell and the other to his visit to Worcester, where he was received with y^reat warmth by the clergy, which brought down on them the wrath of Lloyd, the Bishop of Worcester, and of his son, who was Chancellor of the Diocese. The disgrace of the Duke and Duchess of Marlborough is the subject of No. 1040, "The Case of a British General," No. 1041, "S h and J n beg Pardon for what they have done," and No. 1048, "The D

doubly fatal duel between the Duke of Hamilton and Lord Mohun will be found referred to under Nos. 1073 and 1075 ; ^"^ the Mohocks and Hawkubites, a society of disorderly fellows who rendered life in London unsafe through their debaucheries and disturbances, are considered, in No. 1081, by a Reverend Divine to be the Gog and Magog of the Apocalypse. Under the reign of George i. the first serious attempt of the Jacobites to place the princes of the House of Stuart again on the throne of Great Britain and Ireland occupies a foremost place.

The

rebellion of 1715 is foreshadowed in No. 1116, an address from the Lord Provost and Council of Edinburgh to George i., probably presented in December, 1714, in which they declare their firm determination to sacrifice their lives and fortunes in his defence, and to maintain the succession of the House of Hanover. This is followed by a " Declaration of the Free Holders of Great Britain, in answer to that of the Pretender" (No. 1118), curiously dated "Jan. 19 In the Second Year of our publick Happiness,'' It is evidently a reply to the Declaration by Prince James, dated 3rd January, 1714-5, put forth to remove all objections and resolving never to abandon his rights to the throne. Lord Boling-

broke's Letter of 27th March, 1715, of which there are two editions (Nos. 1122, 1123), is also worthy of notice. Two days before writing this letter Bolingbroke left London in disguise, fearing arrest for treasonable

Court

St.

Germains,

He excuses his flight on the grounds that he had no hope of a fair and open trial. The course of the rising may be traced in No. 1126, a circular letter in which the inhabitants in and about Edinburgh state that they have engaged themselves in a bond of association to assist one another in resisting and opposing all attempts to disturb the Government ; No. 1127, in which the Presbyterian Ministers in the north of Ireland exhort the people to quit themselves like men and resist the threatened invasion ; and No. 1128, a letter written by a Lancashire Quaker, named Gabriel Dutton, to William Bradine, a clothier in Berwick, where the advice is of quite another character, being a singular example of the policy of nonresistance as taught by the Society of Friends.

The writer bids the

recipient keep his garments clean, and not to trouble himself whether Rehoboam or Jeroboam the Son of Nebat be the Ruler.

Nos. 1129

and 1130 are papers issued, the former by the Synod of Perth and Stirling, and the latter by the Synod of Mers and Teviotdale, against the Prince and his followers.

No. 1131 is a letter from

the Duke of Ormond, who states that on the death of Queen Anne he was obliged to fly from his native country, but now returns to take his post as Commander-in-Chief of all the forces to which he has been commissioned by King James iii.

In the next, No. 1 132,

we have the only account in the collection of active hostilities, an engagement fought near Dunblane on 13th November, 1715, in which neither side gained any important advantage.

The left wing of the

rebels gave way, but in return their right wing, where were the Clans, dislodged the royal troops.

In No. i 133 we have " A Speech

xxix

intended to have been spoken " by three of the victims of this rebellion, who were executed at Tyburn on 7th December, 1715. The next two entries (Nos. of the Episcopal

1134, 1135) refer to the addresses

Clerg-y of Aberdeen, and of the Magistrates

and Town Council of that city, to the Pretender.

Each is ac-

companied with " Remarks " by a writer on the other side.

The

last entry of this group, which may be said to represent the rebellion in its activity, is No.

1136, an

Admonition

by the

Synods of Glasgow and Ayr in which they urge their people to stand by the Government and resist the rebels under the Popish Pretender. Although crushed, the Jacobite spirit was elastic, and many secretly printed papers bear witness to the discontent with the House of Hanover, which still prevailed.

The two broadsides, Nos. 1142

and 1143, may possibly have been circulated before or during the rebellion, but for convenience they are noticed here.

The former,

" The Character of Sultan Galga, the present Cham of Tartary," is a lampoon on George i., whose personality is thinly veiled under the name of Sultan Galga ; the latter, a reprint of a celebrated " Address to Oliver Cromwell," by Colonel Silas Titus, was evidently circulated by the Jacobites as an incentive to the assassination of George i.

In No. 1149, "The Translation of an old imperfect

Greek Manuscript found in Wales," the career of Prince James is told in allegory. Jupiter quarrelled with Juno, and Vulcan interposed, but as a result the God of Fire was thrown out of Heaven. The conclusion is very plain speaking and can refer to no other person than James iii. : " Being on earth, he fell into strange company ; half-sighted people with one eye, which being in the middle of their foreheads, left them no room for brains. By these he was worshipp'd, adored, and still call'd a pretty fellow, tho' they had most of

them been ministers of his pretended Father's cruelty, forging bolts of thunder for him." With No. 1151 we come to the impeachment of the rebel lords, which subject is continued in No. 1154, the speech of the Earls of Carnwath and Derwentwater, two of their number.

The paper, No.

1156, contains the reasons why the Earl of Derwentwater thought he might have given scandal to the people of England by pleading guilty at his trial, and No. 1157 is a paper delivered by Lord Kenmure on the day of his execution. Nos. 1160 and 1162.

Other victims of the '15 are the subjects of

The last named is a paper of some interest, as

it is an appeal to mercy of no fewer than thirteen men who allege that force was used by the rebels to compel them to march with the army of the Prince. No. 1165 is the earliest of an interesting and possibly unique collection of broadside Aberdeen Prognostications or Almanacs.

The

series includes ten different years, extending from 1717 to 1742.

For

further particulars on the subject of these very rare prints, the compiler refers the reader to his work on "The Aberdeen Printers." The quarrel between the King and the Prince of Wales, afterwards George 11., finds a place in No. 1173. The occasion was the christening of the Prince's second son. " The Prince, shaking his fist in the Duke of Newcastle's face, called him a rogue, and provoked his auo-ust father." The Prince and Princess were turned out of St. James's Palace, and their children taken from them by order of the King. The broadside contains the royal order, a letter sent to all Foreign Ministers, the King's account of the Prince's behaviour, and a letter to the King from the Prince, With more peaceful times at home we enter upon a series dealing mostly with commerce. Nos. 1197 to 1199 relate to the insurance of ships and nierchandise, and No. 1208 to fire insurance. No. 1213 is

a letter on the affairs of the South Sea Company, demanding that Knight, the absconding treasurer of the company, should be brought home.

Nos. 1219 and 1230 both refer to the celebrated Bishop

Atterbury, who took a prominent part in the Jacobite conspiracy of 1722-3.

There is rather an interesting group of Irish broadsides,

Nos. 1232, 1245 to 1247, 1251 and 1253, all dealing with Wood's brass half-pence and farthings.

William Wood had received a patent

from the Government to coin and issue in Ireland and America copper or brass coins, and this measure met with such determined resistance that they had to be withdrawn. opposition is shown in these prints.

The strenuous nature of the

The collecting of the malt-tax in

Scotland had always been a difficult matter for the officers of the excise since the Union, and disturbances which resulted at Glasgow and elsewhere are recorded in Nos. 1260 and 1261, the last being a circular from the Convention of Royal Burghs intimating their abhorrence of the thought of resisting the law.

No. 1262 is a curious Act by the

Lords of Council and Session, " for preventing the want or scarcity of Ale or Beer, and Bread in Edinburgh," and seems to have been put forth in consequence of these riots. The last broadside under this reign to which we shall refer is No. 1278, "the Order observed at the Ceremonial of delivering the Ensigns of the Order of the Thistle to James, Duke of Hamilton."

The interesting manuscript note in

an old handwriting referring to a later investiture is worth perusal although too long to repeat here. The broadsides deserving of special notice are equally numerous in the reign of George 11. as in that of his father.

No. 1299, " The

Norfolk Congress," is a satire on Sir Robert Walpole's retirement to Houghton Hall, after the Congress of Soissons. Another political lampoon (No. 1302), entitled "A Copy of a Paper drop'd in St. James's-Park," is not so easy of explanation.

The second title, " A

Hue and Cry after a Coachman," who goes by the name of Brazen Face, seems to point to a Minister, probably Sir Robert Walpole. He is said to have formerly served a widow lady of the first rank, and afterwards was employed by his late mistress's successor, who was a perfect stranger to his wicked and corrupt practices.

With

No. 131 2 we come to the last broadside in the collection dealing with the imprisonment of certain men who were committed to Newgate in 1696, for complicity in Porter's Plot, which had for its object the assassination of King William iii.

In the first print dealing with

this case (No. 908), issued in 1705, six men appealed to Queen Anne to be set at liberty, as they had never been tried, but were kept in prison by Act of Parliament, renewed again and again.

Ten years

later (No. 1137) five of them petitioned Parliament, the sixth having been set at liberty by Queen Anne.

In 1727 (No. 1286) three of

their number again petitioned for release.

Since the previous petition

was sent up, two of them had died in Newgate.

And now, in 1729,

Robert Blackburne, the last of the six, after an imprisonment of nearly thirty-three years, appeals to George 11. for relief.

Nos. 1324 and

1326 deal with the affairs of the Charitable Corporation, a company established for lending nioney on pledges, but which came to a disastrous end. In the last of the two broadsides, Giovanni Angelo Belloni writes that Thomson, one of the officers of the concern, who had escaped, was arrested on his arrival in Rome. His papers, letters and minutes were seized, and would be given up to the Parliamentary Committee upon their consenting to certain conditions. This letter was burnt by order of Parliament by the hands of the common hangman. With No. 1330 we again come upon the exiled Stuarts in "A Letter to Prince James Sobieski." It is a reply said to have been written by Prince James P'rancis Edward Stuart to a communi-

3ntro^ttciton.

An extraordinary letter from the pen of the mad Lord

Roseberry will be found under No. 1338, appended to which is a manuscript note, probably by Mr. James Maidment. History repeats itself

Under the previous reign we drew

attention to the quarrel of George i. with the Prince of Wales. That Prince became George 11., and he in like manner had a violent rupture with his eldest son, PVederick, Prince of Wales.

The " royal

row," as Thackeray characterised these domestic events, is the subject of Nos. 1349 and 1350.

The Prince removed the Princess, his wife,

from Hampton Court to the empty palace of St. James's, on the evening of I ith August, 1737, when she was on the point of giving birth to her first child.

The relations between the King and the Prince

had been very strained previous to that event, and the squabble which took place was so acute that they never met again.

In the first of

these broadsides a number of messages and letters are printed ; the second contains the King's intimation to the Prince that he must leave St. James's Palace with all his family, when it can be done without prejudice or inconvenience to the Princess. P'or the present the Princess was to have the care of the infant. The " Porteous Mob " will probably live longer in the memory of English-speaking people than any similar disturbance, through having been so dramatically narrated by Sir Walter Scott in the Heart of Midlothian.

No. 1355 relates to the trial of Thomas Lin-

ning, one of the suspected rioters.

Scott in one of the notes to his

novel mentions this trial, and adds that the accused was acquitted.

xxxiv

3ntroiucfton.

It was singular that although so many were concerned in the plot and in carrying out the murder of Captain Porteous, two men only were brought to trial, of whom Linning or Linnen was one, but the verdict was the same in both cases^not guilty.

While we are on

Scottish ground mention may be made of No. 1363, an " Act of the Presbytery of Edinburgh against the profanation of the Lord's Day." In the light of present-day freedom it is amusing to observe that the Presbytery protests against diversions and recreations, standing in companies in the streets, pastimes and plays of children, giving and receiving visits, gazing from windows, walking through the fields, washing and swimming in waters and rivers, unnecessary shaving, and carrying of dressed wigs through the streets. The time-honoured custom of " riding the marches " of a city was usually the occasion of a pageant varying in extent according to the importance of the place.

No. 1364, " The Whole Order and Proces-

sion," relates to the ceremony as observed in Dublin in the year 1740, when the four-and-twenty corporations of the city, arrayed in their various colours, visited each boundary mark.

With No. 1379 the

scene shifts to the Continent, and in that broadside we have an account of the battle of Fontenoy, and of the defeat of the Allied Forces by the French. The reputation which Edinburgh had deservedly earned for filthy streets in which it was unsafe to walk has been the theme of remarks by travellers, historians and novelists.

The warning cry, a curious

survival of the P ranco-Scottish alliance, which the inhabitants uttered before casting their filth from the windows of the houses into the streets, may have ceased to have been used, but, in No. 1380, an " Act of Council for keeping clean the streets of Edinburgh," we have unmistakable evidence that that dirty custom still prevailed.

A fine

offence the person shall stand in the pillory for two hours, and for a third offence shall be whipt by the hangman and banished the city. The rebellion of 1745 is but feebly represented in the collection, but some papers of interest on that subject will be found under 1381 and following numbers.

Three of them are Acts of the General

Assembly and of the Presbytery of Edinburgh, appointing days of fasting on account of the rising, and a fourth, an Act of the General Assembly, appoints a day of thanksgiving for its suppression. Nos, 1383 and 1385, containing, the former, a "journal of the Marches of the Prince Regent's Army," and the latter, two accounts of the battle of Falkirk, are of some interest.

Their value has been lessened in

the eyes of the compiler since he ascertained that these are not the original broadsides, printed by the rebels at their press which travelled with the army, but only reprints which were appended to " A Full Collection of all the Proclamations and Orders Published by the Authority of Charles Prince of Wales . . . ," two parts, and published at Glasgow in 1745-6.

The misfortunes of Prince James and

of his father James 11. are the subject of No. 1388, "A Letter to the author of the National Journal," signed Ithacus, and dated loth June, 1746, the birthday of the Prince.

One of the most remarkable

prints in the collection is (No. 1392) a letter which purports to have been written by Frederick the Great to the Young Chevalier on his safe arrival in France after the defeat of Culloden.

A very long note

is appended to the entry in the catalogue, which fully explains the nature of the letter and the circumstances of its publication. Two more entries under this reign deserve mention.

No. 1393,

" Resolutions of His Majesty's most excellent Blue-Gowns," recalls to mind Edie Ochiltree in Sir Walter Scott's Antiquary.

begging.

The prospect of this monopoly pleases them so highly that

they agree to petition the King and Parliament on behalf of the measure.

No. 1397, "The Petition of the Grave and venerable Bellmen

(or Sextons) of the Church of Scotland," is a facetious paper in which they petition the House of Commons for an increase of salary.

The

clergy and schoolmasters having applied to Parliament for an augmentation of their stipends, the bellmen considering that they too are ecclesiastical persons think they cannot do better than follow suit. The broadsides of the time of George in. will be found to be less interesting, and, with some exceptions, less important than in the two previous reigns.

A number of curious papers relating to parliamen-

tary elections in Edinburgh will be found under Nos. 1416 to 1424, and a longer series, numbered from 1426 to 1437, referring to a dispute about the patent for the Edinburgh theatre.

The discontent

which prevailed owing to the heavy taxes, and the alarm at the growth of the National Debt, are shown in No. 1442, a letter signed "A South Briton."

The writer, who is evidently a Jacobite, prophesies

that the taxes, which "now amount to fifteen shillings in the pound, three parts of our whole property . . . and as the K—— goes on, the remaining fourth must soon follow."

Nothing calls for special

mention until we come to Nos. 1460 to 1464, all broadsides dealing with the Irish rebellion of 1798. The first contains an account of the apprehension of Lord Edward Fitzgerald, one of the leaders in the rising ; the second, of an attack upon the town of Naas by the rebels, who were successfully repulsed ; the third, of several engagements, in all of which the rebels were the losers ; the fourth, of a defeat of 5000 rebels by iioo Government troops; and the last, a declaration explanatory of the-term Irish Papists, put forth originally in 1641, and probably reprinted during the rebellion of 1798. Perhaps one of the largest groups in the whole collection is that

relating to the threatened invasion of England by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1803.

The series extends from Nos. 1472 to 1546, and

consists largely of patriotic addresses.

They may have served a

useful purpose at the time, but these addresses are heavy reading at the present day. Here and there are prints from which a little amusement may be derived, but the writers were in such deadly earnest that it appears almost sacrilege to look for anything that may provoke a smile. mentioning.

The epitaph on Bonaparte (No. 1492) is worth

It relates that " underneath this dunghill is all that re-

mains of a mighty conqueror, Napoleon Buonaparte. . . . Providence at last, wearied out with his crimes, returned him to the dunghill from whence he sprung, . . . this beech, the only spot in our Isle polluted by his footsteps : this dunghill, all that remains to him of his boasted conquest."

The mock play-bill, No. 1516, and the bill (No. 1520)

offering ^20,000 for the body of Bonaparte are also instances of the humorous side of this collection. The Westminster election of 1806, in which Paull, Sheridan and Hood were the candidates, the last two being elected, forms the subject of Nos. 1548 to 1577. A second contest took place in the following year, in which Paull was again defeated, but this time by Sir Francis Burdett and Lord Cochrane. Nos. 1578 to 1583.

This second election is represented by

The sad end of James Paull is told in No. 1584.

His mind was unhinged, and having lost 1600 guineas at the Union, a gaming-house in Pall Mall, on the 14th April, 1808, the following day he deliberately committed suicide in his house in Charles Street, St. James's Square.

Burdett's imprisonment in the Tower,

ostensibly for breach of privilege, but really on account of his determined efforts to obtain some measure of reform, is referred to in No. 1586. It is a speech delivered by Sir Francis Burdett to Mr. Sheriff Wood when he waited upon him with the thanks and resolutions of

xxxviii

the Common Hall.

Another Westminster election, that of 1818, in

which the candidates were Burdett, Romilly, Maxwell, and Hunt, and which terminated in the return of the two first-named, will be found under Nos. 1597 to 1605.

This seems to be an appropriate place to

explain that, in connection with these contests, a few portraits of the candidates and caricatures have been introduced in illustration of the events.

They have no proper claim to be considered as broadsides,

and their appearance is apologised for and explained. Nos. 1607 and 1608 both refer to the Manchester massacre of 1819 (called also Peterloo).

The former is an account of a meeting,

with Sir Francis Burdett in the chair, in which the late riots are mentioned and the conduct of the military condemned ; the latter is the programme of a procession into London of Hunt, who presided at the Manchester reform meeting. The reign of George iv. opens with a solitary broadside (No. 1610) of the Westminster Election of 1820.

It is succeeded by three

on the Chartist movement:—No. 1611, an " Address to the inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland," in which all are requested to strike work on ist April, and to remain idle until they are in possession of those rights which distinguish the freeman from the slave ; No. 1612, an account of a disturbance at Glasgow ; and No. 1613, the " Plan of Bonnymuir," where the Radicals made a stand against a body of cavalry on the 5th April, 1820. There is only one broadside in the collection relating to the trial of Caroline. Queen Consort of George iv. (No. 1614), "Proceedings on the evidence of Barbara Crantz, and speech of Mr. Brougham." Although in a humbler sphere of life reference may be made here to other broadsides on the relations of husband and wife.

Nos. 1625 and

1656 are instances of wife-selling, while No. 1631 is an account of a woman selling her husband.

3nfro^ucfton.

The broadside, No. 1659, " Mansie Waugh's Dream, concerning the execution of Burke," brings to mind the crimes of William Burke and Hare his associate, and the horrors of the resurrectionists. Another dreadful crime, known as the Gilmerton murder, is detailed in No. 1661 and other twelve broadsides. Little calls for notice in the reign of William iv.

Nos. 1691

and 1692 give the arrangements for the opening of London Bridge by William iv. and his Queen Consort.

Nos. 1697 and 1698 contain

accounts of the riots at Bristol on the occasion of the public entry into that city of Sir Charles Wetherell, the Recorder, and a bitter opponent of reform.

No. 1699 refers to a great reform meeting held at Durham,

and the agitation for reform is also the subject of Nos. 1701, 1702, and 1703.

No. 1712 is a contribution to the early history of Trades

Unions.

Six agricultural labourers of Dorchester had been sentenced

to seven years' transportation for administering to other agricultural labourers a certain oath not required and sanctioned by law.

The

broadside is an account of a meeting at which a petition was drawn up on behalf of these men, requesting a strict investigation into the circumstances.

Lord Melbourne, however, declined to receive the

petition in the way it had been presented, as a great procession accompanied it.

The next entry. No. 1713, a parody on the Church

Catechism, " to be learned by every member of the Trades Union," probably relates to the same event as the entry immediately preceding. The issue of these senseless, blasphemous parodies seems to have continued for a considerable time.

Further examples of them will be

found in this reign under No. 1716, a parody on the Order for Morning Prayer, and No. 1718, a parody on the Baptismal Office. The reign of Queen Victoria is but meagrely represented.

Nos.

1726 and 1727 are speeches by the Queen on closing and opening Parliament ; No. 1728, a reprint in facsimile of the State procession at the

xl

5nfrobttcfton.

coronation ; and No. 1733, an account of the preparations for her marriage with Prince Albert. More parodies on the Offices and Catechism of the Church of England will be found under Nos. 1730, 1731, i737, 1739, 1750, 1756, and I 763, when it is to be hoped they died a natural death.

The opening of the Thames Tunnel is commemorated in No.

1743, a paper printed " 76 feet below high-water mark."

It contains

a view of the tunnel and a description of the work. The revolution in Paris of 1848 is narrated in No. 1764, and the fear of invasion of this country by Napoleon in. is the subject of a curious broadside, No. 1773, entitled "The Expected French Invasion, or the Hero of a Hundred Statues and his Dupes."

In the

woodcut which heads this sheet, the Iron Duke is represented on an ass, addressing an army of police-constables, tailors, chimney-sweeps, cab-drivers, scavengers, &c., drawn up in two lines, with cannon in front labelled " Times," " Chronicle," &c.

Four tubs are sailing in the

straits behind Wellington, three of which are named " The Bright," "The Hume," and "The Cobden."

On the French shore Napoleon

III. is looking across to England through a telescope, attended by two soldiers, one of whom carries an eagle and the other a cock as standards. The Crimean war is represented by three broadsides. The first, No. 1779, an account of the landing of the forces and of the battle of Alma ; the second. No. 1783, of the destruction and burning of Sveaborg, a fortress in Finland ; and the last. No. 1786, the Official Programme of a display of Fireworks on the occasion of the Peace. It is hoped that these remarks may in some measure indicate the varied and interesting character of the collection.

Their perusal

may also lead to a closer study and more extensive use of the catalogue. J. P. EDMOND, yd May, 1898.
