4pp., folio. Bifolium. Complete, on aged and worn paper. From the papers of John Blackburne, who has marked in pencil an advertisement of 'TIMBER | TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION, | At the house of Thomas Green, in the Little-Corn-Market in Warrington, in the county of Lancashire, upon Wednesday the 3d day of March, 1790, at six o'clock in the evening, subject to such conditions as will be then and there produced.' Three lots are given: first, 370 oak trees on Blackburne's estate at 'Risley, within the parish of Winwick [.] in the occupation of Peter Wilkinson'; second, 577 oak trees at Risley, 'upon an estate in the occupation of George Rylands'; third, 25 ash trees, on estates in the occupation of John Eden and George Rylands. 'The tenants upon the estates will shew the Timber; and, for further particulars, apply to Mr. Phipp, steward to John Blackburne, Esq. or to Mr. Maire, attorney, in Warrington.'.

The poster, in the mixture of typeface and font size characteristic of the period, is 31 x 25 cm, and headed: 'TO THE | Gentlemen, | CLERGY, | AND | FREEHOLDERS | OF THE | County Palatine of Lancaster.' Signed and dated in type at foot: 'JOHN BLACKBURNE. | HALE, | November 12th, 1829. Printed on one side of a piece of wove paper, and with one central horizontal fold. In fair condition, worn and aged, with slight loss and chipping at edges.' The seventeen lines of text begin: 'In conformity with the Declaration I made at the last General Election at Lancaster, I think it my duty to make publicly known, that it is not my intention again to offer myself as a Candidate for the distinguished situation I have held as one of your representatives.' Blackburne stresses that 'The Honor of representing this County in Parliament has ever been my greatest pride, and ambition. You have for Forty-five Years entrusted that important charge to my care, and I flatter myself your confidence has not been misplaced. I can with truth declare I have uniformly supported those measures which to the best of my judgment and abilities appeared most conducive to your interests and to those of the Country in general.' An eccentric figure, Blackburne was educated at Harrow and Queen's College, Oxford, and served as Member of Parliament for Lancashire for 46 years from 1784. See his entry in the History of Parliament. From Blackburne's own papers, through the Lancashire antiquary Dr James Kendrick (1809-1882).

1p., landscape 12mo. On aged and lightly-creased laid paper ('PRO PATRIA' watermark), with chipping to extremities. On reverse, in another hand: 'At Northampton a Monument at the Inn'. The note reads: 'This ancent Mounement was Erected to perpetuate the memory of Queen Eleon [sic] Consort to Edward the First Who in an Expedition against the Scots was Shot with a Poison arrow the Queen Extracted the poisen from the wound By Sucking it out By which means she saved the Kings Life But Lost her own - This Being almost Come to Decay By age was Rebuilt and Beutified By the worshipfull the Justices of Peace for this County in that Memorable Year 1712 when the Arms of England was Crownd with Succes under the Conduct of Brave and Renownd John Duke of Malbrow'. The poison-sucking story, popularised by William Camden, has no basis in fact, and the present document is an interesting example of how stories are distorted in folk memory. As perpetuated by Camden, the incident is supposed to have occurred at Acre, not in Scotland, and the poisoning is supposed to have involved a dagger, not an arrow; nor is Eleanor supposed to have died as a result of her intervention.
