Scarce original civil war pamphlet, detailing the 'Third Remonstrance' and discussing the dangers of mis-interpretation of the law and actions on both side. The Kings and Parliaments authority and the interpretation of it. In this volatile time in the build up the start of the English Civil War.
The Siege of Hull in 1642 was the first major action of the English Civil War. As Royalists and Parliamentarians prepared for war, Parliament had access to more military material, due to its possession of all major cities including the large arsenal in London. In Kingston upon Hull, where the majority of the inhabitants were Royalists, there was a large arsenal which had been established for the Second Bishops' War in 1638. To deny the Royalists access to this, in January 1642 Sir John Hotham was ordered by Parliament to seize Hull. This was carried out at once by his son John, who became the Military Governor of Hull. Charles I. hoped that quick victories would negate Parliament's advantage, and as the armouries in London were beyond his reach he hoped to take the large arsenal at Hull to supplement the armouries he did have access to, such as those of the Derbyshire and Staffordshire trained bands. In April 1642 Hotham refused to admit Charles I. to Hull. Later he promised his prisoner, Lord Digby, that he would surrender the city to the king, but when Charles appeared again, Hotham refused a second time and drove away the besiegers. Charles took great personal affront to these actions, and declared Hotham a traitor. The Royalists' unsuccessful siege of the city was a major step on the road to full-scale war which would start in earnest with the pitched battle of Edgehill on 23 October 1642.
*Albert May Todd (1850 –1931), "colorfully known as "The Peppermint King of Kalamazoo, " was an American chemist, businessman, and politician from the state of Michigan. A philanthropist and renowned bibliophile, portions of whose collection now grace the holdings of several American universities."
