Manuscript on paper of an oration by Pope Pius II in support of the candidature of Ferdinand I of Aragon for the throne of Naples and Sicily
Description:
In Latin., Script: copied by a single hand writing a small Gothica Hybrida Libraria/Currens under Humanistic influence. Heading in pale brown ink. Opening word in capitals and marginal captions in pale red ink. 3-line pale red initial on f. 1r., The present manuscript was probably copied soon after the oration was held at the council of Mantua in 1459. The Pope had requested the help of the Christian rulers for a crusade against the Turks. The King of France Charles VII refused his support unless the Pope would favour the candidature of René of Anjou to the throne of Naples and Sicily against the pretensions of Ferdinand I of Aragon. In the present oration, the Pope explains why he regrets to deny René's claim and supports Ferdinand., and Binding: 20th century: plain parchment over pasteboard.

Of the several men who have been thrown over the back of a horse, one has had a pole thrust into his posterior; at the top of the pole is a liberty cap. The wife and children of one man who has been tied to the back of the horse, cling in desperation to his ragged clothes, as they are dragged along behind him

Five manuscript documents concerning Robert Bostock's involvement in the recently outlawed slave trade. The earliest is the November 1810 agreement between Bostock, Mason and five "Gallinas gentlemen" that allowed Bostock and Mason to establish their slave factory "on the point of Bance Island." The remaining documents are all connected to the 1813 raid on the factory by the Royal Navy. These include the Qui Tam writ by John Edward Browne describing the capture and setting forth the Crown's charges; an abjuration of the slave trade by a Mrs. Boy; a more detailed abjuration document signed by Phillipa Hayes and John Stirling Mills that includes a confession of their participation in the trade; and a letter to Mills from "Captain Roach" regarding the seizure of the slaves and his unsettled business with Bostock
