Do it with the second parameter of $-method like this

var previousPage=$( "ul" );
$('li', previousPage);

This parameter specifies the context to search for the 'li'-tag...

And if you want the first li do this:

$('li', previousPage).first();

You can also combine the selectors like this:

$(previousPage.selector +' li');
