Item description from seller

Single bifolium, separated into two constituent leaves. [4]pp. pp.[2-3] blank. Docket title to p.[4]. Later coloured pencil shelf-mark to head of p.[1]. Three old horizontal folds, chipping to margins. A remarkably rare example of polemical commercial lobbying literature, issued in an attempt to influence opinion in the run up to debates and divisions in the House of Commons, regarding potential harm to curriers and leather dealers if they are prohibited from selling hides and skins in pieces, at a cheaper price, to manufacturers of saddles, and that 'in Case of such Restraint, the Army could not, upon any emergency, be supplied either so Cheap, or with such Expedition as they now can be.' ESTC records copies at two locations in the British Isles (Senate House and NA), and none elsewhere. ESTC N41257.

Store description

Established 2007, Antiquates Ltd is an Antiquarian bookseller with a large, custom built shop in the heart of the Dorset countryside. We sell fine and rare books from our Wareham shop, in catalogues, and via our website (www.antiquates.co.uk). Specialising in early printed books both English and Continental, fine English Literature, and books by, for, and about Women and Children, we nevertheless stock a wide range of works on paper from 1500-present - including modern first editions. Our bias is towards the unusual, the interesting and the important - and always have a good stock of rare books by local authors such as T.E. Lawrence and Thomas Hardy; we are just the place if you're looking for an extra-special gift for a wedding, birthday, anniversary or graduation. (Open Wednesday - Saturday, 10am-4pm)…
