A propos de cet article

16pp. Sewn, original publisher's powder-blue paper wrappers. A little marking to wrappers and title, extremities slightly creased, else fine. A rare account, printed in the Channel Islands and preserved in original state, of a strident defence of the historical privileges granted to the Island of Guernsey traced since 'the patrimonial Inheritance of our most gracious Sovereign.William the Conqueror', occasioned by attempts made by Westminster to restrict the Islanders' cherished 'free trade' by establishing a Customs House at St. Peter Port in 1805. In impassioned language, Le Merchant, who signs the work at end, and dates it April 10, refers to historical precedent, Charters and guarantees of monarchs including Queen Elizabeth and Charles II, in order to justify the legal independence of Guernsey. Abortive attempts had previously been made - by the powers at Westminster- as far back as the first decade of the eighteenth-century - to restrict the smuggling that emanated from the Channel Islands by setting up a customs post. The 1805 Act for the 'more effectual Prevention of Smuggling' was initially ignored by the administration in Guernsey, who refused to officially register the Act, presumably citing the same objections as the author of this pamphlet. Rare; OCLC locates a single copy of this work (Newcastle). Provenance: from the recently dispersed collections of James Stevens Cox (1910-1997), bookseller, writer and proprietor of the Toucan Press, which produced a facsimile of this work in the 1990s (a copy of which is located at Cornell). Size: 8vo.…
