	Seal Presses
		The earliest seal press designed (apparently) to emboss a seal onto paper rather than wax that we have identified was made in 1782, although in all likelihood this was not the first.
		According to a history of the Great Seal of the United States, the 2.3" diameter seal of the Continental Congress and its seal press were made in 1782.
		The seal press to the left was made by the Pettibone Manufacturing Co., Cincinnati, OH, which described itself as "Fraternity Publishers" and suppliers of "Military, Band and Society Goods." At least from 1887 to 1896, the Pettibone Manufacturing Co. published literature and manufactured a wide range of goods for use by fraternal lodges.

	R (Moore) v. Attorney-General of Ireland (Pages 88-109.)
		Hall (1) the manner in which the laws of England are imparted to Dominions, Colonies, and ceded or conquered territory, was the subject of adjudication in the Court of King's Bench, and the case of Ireland came under particular consideration.
		It was also the bridge-head for operation against Tirconaill, and corresponded to the great fort upon the Blackwater which was constructed and maintained as a curb upon the activities of Tyrone.
		All the provisions in the grants of the Ballyshannon estates seem to me to be peculiarly appropriate to the plantation of a Warden of the Ford to protect the neighbouring counties against the aggression of the still unconquered Kinel-Connell.

	ENGLANDâS GLORIOUS REVOLUTION - Professor Wilkes - University of Georgia School of Law
		Mistakenly confident that government functions now would be paralyzed in his absence, the King arrived at the opposite shore and mounted a horse waiting in the darkness to take him to the seacoast where a sloop was supposed to transport him and his companions across the English Channel to France.
		Englishmen living 300 years ago believed that the Glorious Revolution was âa thing that cannot be paralleled in history,â whose greatness would be recognized âtill time shall be no more.âÂ They undoubtedly would be surprised to discover that the tricentennial had and gone with so little public awareness or interest.
		The Glorious Revolution ended three months later on Feb. 13, 1689, when William and Mary were officially proclaimed the new monarchs in London by a convention specially assembled in lieu of a Parliament.Â By then the deposed James II was living in exile in France, a guest of French King Louis XIV.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Thomas Cardinal Wolsey
		At this time the pope was endeavouring to raise a crusade against the Turks, and Wolsey adroitly succeeded in effecting a universal peace to which the pope and emperor as well as Francis and Charles were parties.
		Both parties to the war were soon willing to accept England's mediation, and Wolsey conducted a long conference during which his conduct was more diplomatic than honest, and before the conference was over he signed a secret treaty with the emperor which provided for an offensive and defensive alliance against France.
		When the pope appointed Cardinal Campeggio to try the case in England with Wolsey, the English cardinal soon learnt that the matter was entirely in his colleague's hands.
