Although Magna Carta was often invoked in an unsophisticated and anachronistic manner, it became a prominent symbol of liberty for early nineteenth-century radicals. They saw Magna Carta as the basis of an ancient constitution that was under threat from an increasingly powerful and unaccountable executive. That position was demonstrated clearly in this book, published in support of Queen Caroline (d. 1821), which suggested that to defend the Queen was to defend the ancient rights established by Magna Carta. The book went through at least five editions in 1820, and was 'Dedicated to the Ladies of Great Britain'. In this illustration, 'Magna Charta' is depicted alongside the 'Laws of England' as part of a banner of 'Freedom': as the accompanying poem states, 'Destroy Magna Charta, and then in its place / Allow us like slaves, To exist in disgrace'.

William Blackstone's The Great Charter and Charter of the Forest contains the texts of fourteen medieval documents, tracing the history of Magna Carta from the Articles of the Barons in 1215 to the confirmation of the charter by King Edward I (r. 1272-1307) in 1300. The Great Charter was a pioneering piece of historical scholarship, based on examination of the original documents. Most importantly, Blackstone was the first to publish an accurate version of the text of Magna Carta as issued by King John in 1215. In so doing, he was able to establish that the 1215 Magna Carta was significantly different from the version entered on the Statute Roll in 1297 (itself derived from the 1225 Magna Carta)

Magna Carta and women'. In 1915, to coincide with Magna Carta's 700th anniversary, the suffragette campaigner, Helena Normanton (d. 1957), published this essay on 'Magna Carta and Women'. Appearing in the periodical The Englishwoman, Normanton's essay argued that the disenfranchisement of women contravened Magna Carta's famous clauses 39 and 40. For Normanton, 'it is expressly contrary to Magna Carta to refuse, deny, or delay, right or justice. The right of the franchise is still unconstitutionally withheld from women, but the spirit of Magna Carta sounds a trumpet-call to them to struggle ever more valiantly to realise its noble ideal'. Helena Normanton went on to become the first female barrister to practise in England, and she was also founder of the Magna Carta Society.

Having received a substantial grant of lands in 1681 in what would become known as Pennsylvania, William Penn set about devising a constitution for his new colony, which became The Frame of the Government of Pennsylvania. That document, and its accompanying 'Laws agreed upon in England', contained many provisions based on Magna Carta, including that 'all Courts shall be open, and Justice shall neither be sold, denyed nor delayed' (Law V), that court proceedings 'may be understood, and Justice speedily administred' (Law VII). The first of these provisions closely echoed clause 40 of the 1215 Magna Carta ('To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice'). This was the first time that an American colony had expressly adopted elements of Magna Carta as part of the initial act of colonisation

Letter of Sir Edward Dering sending Magna Carta to Sir Robert Cotton (Dover Castle, 10 May 1630.) Very few people can claim to have been sent a copy of Magna Carta, but that is exactly what happened to Sir Robert Cotton on 10 May 1630, when he received this note from his 'affectionate freind and servant' Sir Edward Dering (d. 1644), the lieutenant of Dover Castle. He wrote: I have sent up two of your books, which have much pleasured me: I have here the charter of K. John dated att Running Meade: by the first safe and sure messenger it is your's. So are the Saxon charters, as fast as I can coppy them: but in the meane time I will close K. John in a boxe and send him. Dering shared Sir Robert Cotton's antiquarian interests, and clearly regarded the Cotton library as a suitable home for Magna Carta. Edward Dering's copy can be identified as the nowdamaged Cotton Charter XIII 31A, part of the British Library's collections.

The Great Charter of 1832. After decades of popular agitation for reform, Parliament finally bowed to pressure in 1832 and passed the Representation of the People Act, commonly known as the Great Reform Act. The Act granted a limited extension of the franchise, based largely on a broadening of the property qualification in the counties and the creation of a uniform franchise in the boroughs. It also redistributed electoral constituencies, increasing representation for the rapidly growing industrial towns, to begin to reflect the major population changes of the period. The Great Reform Act was presented as a new Magna Carta in popular prints and in other mass-produced items, including cordial bottles and figurines. Published soon after the Act was passed, this book, entitled The Great Charter of 1832, presents it as another Magna Carta. In the introduction, the anonymous author traces the history of constitutional reform, claiming that Magna Carta was a milestone in the advance towards

In 1821 M. Landry of Fancy Repository, Greenwich, published this children's game which gave prominence to the Great Charter. Described by its anonymous author as an 'Instructive Pastime', the game was designed to teach chivalry to younger people. The playing cards were hand-coloured, with each one bearing an image of the twenty-four Orders of Knighthood, or an important event, item or person associated with English history. Among the cards were 'Magna Charta' (No. 52), 'Bill of Rights' (No. 39), 'Robin Hood' (No. 5) and 'Doomsday Book' (No. 4). According to the rather complicated rules, 'Magna Charta takes any card and is privileged to mark twelve points'. Intriguingly, 'Magna Charta' itself is represented not by a picture of a medieval document but by two pink roses.

The Frame of the Government of Pennsylvania. Having received a substantial grant of lands in 1681 in what would become known as Pennsylvania, William Penn set about devising a constitution for his new colony, which became The Frame of the Government of Pennsylvania. That document, and its accompanying 'Laws agreed upon in England', contained many provisions based on Magna Carta, including that 'all fines shall be moderate' (Law XVIII). Law XVIII in turn reflected clause 20, stating that fines should be proportionate to the offence committed. This was the first time that an American colony had expressly adopted elements of Magna Carta as part of the initial act of colonisation

The Statutes of the Realm was a ground-breaking publication which, for the first time, brought together printed editions of Magna Carta as issued in 1215, 1216, 1217, 1225 and 1297. The text of each document was reproduced to show abbreviations, corrections and variants between the surviving copies. Most remarkably, facsimiles were also published of selected manuscripts, including the Lincoln Cathedral version of King John's 1215 Magna Carta. The editors based their text of the 1215 charter on this Lincoln copy, collated with the two then held by the British Museum (now at the British Library) and the text in the Red Book of the Exchequer (now at the National Archives). The Salisbury Cathedral manuscript of Magna Carta was rediscovered after 1810, when this publication was prepared. The House of Commons had first proposed the publication of the statutes in 1800, and this is the copy presented to the King's own library.
