Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Seals and Documents If England thus provides the first examples of this mode of sealing, it has also the distinction of inventing the double seal pendent, the prototype of the Great Seal of all the ages after. This is found under Edward the Confessor; the seal and counterseal have different designs, and the seal is pendent upon strings. I have long been of Opinion and here, though I arrived at the conclusion independently, I am glad to find myself anticipated by Mr. Stevenson 1 - that this seal was not a new invention but merely a modification of the papal bull adapted to a different material. King Edward's seal, indeed, though very small, judged by the standard of later Great Seals - it had a diameter of less than three inches - was more than twice the size of the hull of that time, and unlike the bull it bore the royal effigy on both sides. But its origin is manifest, and it is strange that no one until Mr. Stevenson has drawn attention to its origin. The Benedictines indeed speak of the mode of hanging the seal as derived from the papal bull,2 but they omit to notice the other important point about the seal itself, that, unlike previous wax seals, it had two sides; it was a coin seal Such a seal so used has no earlier example. It is true that, as Mabillon observed,3 we find double seals in the Lombard principalities of Southern Italy from the end of the ninth century; these were evidently modelled on Byzantine bulls, which they resemble in size but they were not pendent to the document, the two sides were impressed separately one above the other.4 It is the hanging double seal which is the peculiar invention of Edward the Confessor. Though I am not immediately concerned with the design on the seal, it may not be out of place to notice that Edward's seal is modelled upon the seal of majesty - a single seal - of the Emperors.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Seal of Maryland: A Paper Read Before the Maryland Historical Society, December 14, 1885 The question as to which of the two was the one subsequently in use could only be settled definitely by the discovery of a patent or other document to which the Great Seal had been affixed between the years 1648 and 1652, so that the comparison with impressions of later date could be made. N e such paper has yet been found. But whichever it was, Lord Baltimore's description of the seal of 1648 affords an adequate description of the one actually in use from this time on during the continuance of the Proprietary government.

Download or read book A Jodrell Deed and the Seals of the Black Prince Classic Reprint written by Margaret Sharp and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-20 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Jodrell Deed and the Seals of the Black Prince In November Edward retired to Bordeaux, and there Christmas was celebrated. Shortly before, William Jodrell was given permission to leave the army, that is, after the great raid was over, but while the princes troops were still actively engaged in conquering the Agenais. The ties between the Black Prince and his palatine earldom of Chester were close; among his knights, and, as we see here, among his archers, many a Cheshire family of later repute was represented. The original pass described above is in some ways unique. As far as I know, no other license of the kind survives. Moreover it is written on paper, and, unlike other warrants on paper issued by the Black Prince, it has its seal remaining. As a consequence of the use of paper, the letter was not sealed and folded on the simple queue system. The seal here is only a mark of authentication; as a letter patent, the pass was not, of course, fastened up. The brevity of the letter and the size of the seal were together responsible for the curious shape of the piece of paper. I have seen no other seal plaque like this, attached to documents issued by the Black Prince, but sealing in this fashion was being revived in England about this time, perhaps in consequence of the use of paper. Few diplomatic points are raised by the pass. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Prentice-Hall Tax Service for 1919 This allowance is not based upon the difference between the actual war cost of such facilities and what they would have cost at pre-war prices. Obviously the taxpayer is not entitled to recover or extinguish through amortization more than the difference between the war cost of such property and what he can sell the property for after the war, or if he continues to need and use it in his business, what it would have cost him after the war. As the rule is expressed in Article 183 of the Regulations: The total amount to be extinguished by amortization, in general, is the excess of the unextinguished or unrecovered cost of the property over its maximum value (either for sale or for use as part of the plant or equipment of a going business) under stable post war.

That is why the second chapter, on handwriting and descriptions of old ink, paper, and paper marks and seals, was written, for all such items are of great importance.

The most solemn confirmation is the seal, which is universally accepted as the sure pledge of the validity and genuineness of the document, to which it is affixed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Camosun, Vol. 7: April, 1915 Bruin was but a soft plump bear cub, almost black in colour. He had Spent all of his short life in the mountains, was born where no man had as yet set foot, where the gigantic pines stand guard in a pathless wilderness defying wind 'and weather till, at last, they must go, crashing into the gorge beneath, and mingle again with the earth that fostered them. His mother was big, brown and shaggy - of the regular grizzly type. She was not of the ferocious kind but avoided man and con fined her wanderings to the steep mountain slopes where few hunters found their way. Then came the time when she ventured too far the summer when Bruin and his brother were her charges. Having scrambled farther down the mountain than ever b_efore, she made her way to the west of the great bald shoulder on one side of the mountain and came upon the camp of two sportsmen from town, Dick Ferris and Jack Turner, who had here exiled themselves for the summer.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southern Rights Documents: Co-Operation Meeting, Held in Charleston, S. C., July 29th, 1851 After the reading of the resolutions, the meeting was addressed by Hon. A. P. Butler, in opposition to separate State action. Although evidently laboring under severe indisposition. He spoke with animation and great effect. As we hope to be able to publish his remarks in full, we forbear further comment at present. The Hon. Robert W. Barnwell followed in an address of considera-v ble length, addressed to the point of the inability of the State to sustain herself alone, and the folly of looking to Great Britain for countenance and aid. He expressed f diy the abolition policy of that nation, as exemplified by her acts for many years. He referred to the great sacrifice at which she had abolished slavery in her own dominions, and to the fact that in her offer to Texas, the abolition of slavery was one of the conditions. Both speakers studiously refrained from any appeals to the passions or fears of the audience, and sustained their views of this great question calm and forcible argument.
