Arbuthnot, John
[Arbuthnot, John.] An invitation to peace: or, Toby's preliminaries to Nestor Ironsides, set forth in a dialogue between Toby and his kinsman. London: printed and sold by Mr. Lawrence, n.d. (1714). 23 pp. 8vo, disbound. First edition. A very amusing Scriblerian contribution to an ongoing pamphlet attack on Addison and Steele, responding in particular to William Wagstaffe's Letter from the Facetious Dr. Andrew Tripe, at Bath, to the Venerable Nestor Ironside. "Toby" was the persona used by Wagstaffe in a previous mock-biography of Steele; he was in fact a nephew of the bookseller Abel Roper, and to judge from the frontispiece portrait in that tract he was feeble-minded. The satire here is much lighter than that of Wagstaffe, a high-church physician who hated all Whigs with a passion; the military metaphor is cleverly maintained throughout, and there are funny allusions to such contemporaries as Jacob Tonson, Swift, and Congreve. At the end is a two-page poem, "To Mr. Ironsides." The attribution of this pamphlet to Arbuthnot is cited by the NCBEL as tentative, but the manner of it is entirely consistent with Arbuthnot's other squibs; the ascription is not queried by the ESTC. A fine copy of a very uncommon satire. Rothschild 47 (listed as anonymous); CBEL II, 1052.

Arbuthnot, John, attributed author
[Arbuthnot, John, attributed author.] A postscript to John Bull, continuing the History of the Crown-Inn, with the death of the widow, and what happened thereon. The fourth edition. London: printed for J. Moor, and sold by the booksellers of London and Westminster, n.d. (1714). 19 pp. [With:] A continuation of the History of the Crown-Inn: with characters of some of the late servants; and the proceedings of the trustees to the coming of the new landlord. Part II. London: printed for J. Moor, and sold by the booksellers of London and Westminster, n.d. (1714). 19 pp. [With:] A farther continuation of the History of the Crown-Inn. Part III. Containing the present state of the Inn, and other particulars. London: printed for J. Moor, and sold by the booksellers of London and Westminster, n.d. (1714). 20 pp. [With:] The fourth and last part of the History of the Crown-Inn: with the character of John Bull, and other novels. Part IV. London: printed for J. Moor, and sold by the booksellers of London and Westminster, n.d. (1714). Together four parts, 8vo, disbound. Fourth edition of the first part, and first edition of Parts II-IV. A complete set of four pamphlets composed as a kind of sequel to Law Is a Bottomless Pit; Or, the History of John Bull, which, with three further parts and an appendix, had appeared in 1712 as a clever satire on the war policy of the Whigs; both Pope and Swift ascribed the original five pamphlets to their fellow Scriblerian John Arbuthnot (though at the time the authorship of Swift was widely suspected). The present group picks up the satire after the death of Queen Anne, and the fall from power of the Tory ministry. The attrbution of these pamphlets to Arbuthnot is very tentative; more likely they were the handiwork of an imitator. In very good condition; complete sets are scarce.

Argens, Jean Baptiste de Boyer, marquis d'
[Argens, Jean Baptiste de Boyer, marquis d'.] Lettres juives, ou correspondance philosophique, historique, et critique, entre un Juif voyageur Paris & ses correspondans en divers endroits. La Haye: chez Pierre Paupie, 1736-7. (8)240; (8)240; (8)199, 220-260; xvi, 240; (16)240; (16)244 pp. Six vols., sm. 8vo, contemporary calf, gilt, spines gilt, contrasting red and green morocco labels (spines a trifle rubbed). A complete run of 180 numbers of an exceedingly popular and influential periodical, bound up with the general title-pages, dedicatory epistles, and prefaces which were furnished gratis after each 30 issues; published twice a week, on Monday and Thursday, with each number consisting of 8 pages, except for Letter 151, which had 12 pages (an error in the pagination of Letter 85 affects the numbering of Vol. III). The Marquis d'Argens spent his early years in the army, but after receiving a wound in the Philipsbourg campaign, he settled in Holland and decided to pursue a literary career, of which the Lettres juives was the first substantial manifestation. Choosing for a model the Lettres persanes of Montesquieu, and adopting the guise of a Jewish observer, writing to two Jewish friends, he set out to describe and satirize the customs and institutions of contemporary European society; in doing so he was also much influenced by the writings of Voltaire and Bayle, especially the former's Lettres philosophiques. The scheme devised by d'Argens was not without its perils, and to avoid the scrutiny of both his family and his enemies, he moved from place to place within Holland, living successively in Amsterdam, the Hague, Utrecht, and Maarssen. He did not deal directly with the publisher Paupie, but submitted his numbers through an intermediary Prosper Marchand, who provided much criticism and advice to sharpen the satire. The Lettres juives were an immediate success, and were quickly pirated and imitated; an English translation ran serially in both the Gentleman's Magazine and Fog's Weekly Journal, before appearing in book form in 1739 as The Jewish Spy. There were a fair number of reprints over the next forty years, but in these the text has been significantly revised. In the 1750's the writings of d'Argens were widely cited by the philosophes in their battle against "infamy," and Voltaire remained a particular admirer, referring to these letters at one point as "ces verits courageuses." In fine condition; complete runs of the original numbers are very uncommon. Sgard, Dictionnaire des journaux, 1600-1789, 829; Cioranescu 8303.

Three vols., 8vo, original green cloth (traces of rubbing). First edition. A novel of romance and murder, set in an isolated part of the north-east coast of Scotland. This is the author's only work of fiction. Rev. Beaton seems to have worked for a time as a missionary; in 1859 he published an account of five years spent in Mauritius, and in the following appeared his description of a six-month's holiday in Reunion. A fine copy of a rare title; the NUC lists two copies (IU, NjP). Not in Wolff.

Bythner, Victorinus
Bythner, Victorinus. Lyra prophetica Davidis Regis. Sive analysis critico-practica Psalmorum. In qua omnes & singul voces Hebr in Psalterio content, tam propri qum appelativ, (null except) ad regulas artis vocantur; earmque significationes genuin explicantur; eleganti lingu propri evolvuntur. Insuper harmonia Hebri textus cum paraphrasi Chalda, & versione Grca LXXII interpretum, in locis, sententiis discrepantibus, fideliter confertur. Cui ad calcem addita est brevis institutio lingu Hebr & Chald. London: typis Jacobi Flesher; prostat ver venalis apud Gul. Morden (Cambridge), 1664. (8)352; (2)69 pp. [Bound with:] [Text in Hebrew] lingua eruditorum; sive methodica institutio lingu sanct: in qua ut omnia qu ad to tecnikon, plurima etiam qu ad to isogikon lingu pertient, absolut brevitate facilique ordine tractarentur . . . Cui addita est introductio ad linguam Chaldam veteris Testamenti. London: typis Jacobi Flesher, 1664. (8)46 pp. 4to, contemporary calf (minor rubbing). The author's two principal scholarly works. The first, a grammatical analysis of every word in the Hebrew Psalter, had first been printed in 1650, and re-issued in 1653; the second is a revised version of a grammar of Hebrew, with remarks on Chaldean, which had first been published in 1638. Bythner was a native of Poland. He became a member of Oxford University about 1635, but removed to Cambridge at the start of the Civil War; in 1651 he again appears at Oxford, but about 1664 he retired to Cornwall, where he practices medicine. "Bythner's grammatical works, though written in curiously faulty Latin, are models of lucid and compact arrangement, and continued long in use." -- DNB. First title-page printed in red and black; in fine condition. Contemporary signature on the front flyleaf of William Chaloner. These two works appear to have been available as a pair, but the second is frequently not present. Wing B6422 and 6415A.

Court of Chancery
[Court of Chancery.] Observations on the judges of the Court of Chancery, and the practice and delays complained of in that court. London: John Murray, 1823. (4)68 pp. 8vo, disbound. First edition. A conservative response to widespread calls for judicial reform; the writer is highly critical of the propensity for "lawyers by profession to attack, in our days, not only one of the first and most distinguished courts of judicature in the kingdom, but even the judgment and integrity of the first and ablest Law Officer of the Crown." Dedicated to Richard Preston, a highly successful Devonshire conveyancing attorney (see DNB), who also was very conservative in his approach to the law. Title-page a trifle dusty, otherwise a very good copy. The NUC lists two locations (DLC, NIC).

Dalrymple, David
[Dalrymple, Sir David.] The laws and judicatures of Scotland vindicated from the calumnies and false reasonings contain'd in a late pamphlet, intituled, The Case of the Forfeited Estates in Scotland, Consider'd: In a letter to a Noble L--d. London: printed for J. Roberts, 1718. 67(1) pp. 8vo, disbound. First London edition; possibly preceded by an edition printed in Edinburgh at about the same time. The author of this tract was the grandfather of the famous Scottish judge, Lord Hailes. He was involved as commissioner in arranging the Treaty of Union, and in 1709 was appointed Queen's advocate in Scotland at a salary of 1000 a year. Dalrymple here responds to a pamphlet by the Scottish advocate Patrick Haldane, in which questions were raised about the ability of the Scottish legal system to cope with the financial consequences of the forfeiture of estates following the Rebellion of 1715. As a member of the establishment, he argues that Scottish court were well able to deal in a timely fashion with the claims of legitimate creditors against sequestered estates, and that no emergency legislation was required. A fine copy of a scarce title. Hanson 2359.

Defoe, Daniel
[Defoe, Daniel, attributed author.] A letter from a member of the House of Commons to his friend in the country, relating to the Bill of commerce. With a true copy of the Bill, and an exact list of all those who voted for and against engrossing it. London: printed, and sold by J. Baker, 1713. (2)46 pp. 8vo, disbound. First edition. One of several similar issues, of uncertain sequence. This copy has the press figure 23-4 (and a comma after "printed" in the imprint); another issue has press figures 15-2 and 23-2, and a third has no press figures at all (but these appear to be to some extent at least the same setting of type). This pamphlet is written from the point of view of a Tory, explaining to his friend how Parliament came to make the mistake of rejecting the Bill of Commerce (the text of which is supplied), and arguing that only the Dutch would stand to gain from maintaining trade barriers against the French. The text has traditionally been assigned to Defoe, but has been "de-attributed" by Furbank and Owens, on the grounds that "an ascription to him does not seem very solid." Curiously, this conclusion follows a citation of rather good evidence of Defoe's involvement, i.e. the opening lines of an attack on this pamphlet ascribed to John Oldmixon: "There are but two wretches upon earth that cou'd write so villainous a libel." As Furbank and Owens point out, the author makes it fairly clear that he is referring to Defoe and William Pittis; and subsequent allusions to the "mercenary Mercator," Defoe's periodical, suggest that the usual ascription is very plausible indeed. A very good copy. Moore 265; Kress 2833; Hanson 1483; CBEL II, 893 ("probably by Defoe").
1713
Defoe, Daniel
[Defoe, Daniel, attributed author.] No queen: or, no general. An argument, proving the necessity Her Majesty was in, as well for the safety of her person as of her authority, to displace the D--- of M----borough. London: printed, and sold by the booksellers of London and Westminster, 1712. (4)52 pp. 8vo, disbound. Probably the second edition, though not so designated; the setting is different from a similar printing in which the last four pages are misnumbered 41-44 (though there was also a 42-page "second" edition the same year). An attack on Marlborough, in the ironical guise of an implausible defence. Almost universally assigned to Defoe, and consistent with what he is known to have written at this period, but "de-attributed" by Furbank and Owens on the basis of a rather general attack on "the Observators, Reviews, and the Pamphleteers of that Time;" that Defoe had been himself an author of the weekly Review seems inconclusive. A very good copy, complete with the half-title. Moore 227; Horn, Marlborough, 355 (with a long note, accepting the attribution); CBEL II, 892.

Among the topics are, "The Splendid Advantages of Being a Woman," "Fops and Foppery," "The Art of Walking," "The Pleasures of Begin Mad," etc. "A graceful writer of Latin, Greek, and English verse, and a semi-cynical essayist, Dunphie had something of the metrical dexterity of Father Prout and the egotistic fluency of Leigh Hunt." -- DNB. In very good condition. Like many Tinsley imprints of this period, a very scarce title; the NUC lists one copy (CtY).

In which are intermix'd all the intrigues both amorous and political relating to those memorable adventures: as also the characters of the old and new favourites of both sexes in the court of Britomartia. Collected from the memoirs of a courtier lately deceas'd. London: printed for J. Baker, 1712. (10)90 pp. [With:] Part II. London: printed for J. Baker, 1712. 80 pp. [With:] Part III. London: printed for J. Baker, 1712. 80 pp. Together three vols in one, 8vo, disbound. First edition. A novel published in three shilling parts, over a period of several months. The author has not been identified, but his principle aim was to create an elaborate fictional structre to satirize Harley and his government, and to comment upon the rise and fall of Marlborough. "This exceedingly rare work, in its three parts, stands as one of the most important and extended documents in the development of the reaction fo Marlborough and his career."-- Horn. In fact a fair number of copies survive, but not all are complete. Slight browning in Parts II and III, but a nice copy of an unusually complex work of "scandal" fiction.

[Forster, Nathaniel.] An enquiry into the causes of the present high price of provisions. In two parts: I. Of the general causes of this evil. II. Of the causes of it in some particular instances. London: printed for J. Fletcher and Co.; and sold by J. Fletcher (Oxford), 1767. viii(4), 216 pp. 8vo, disbound. First edition. A remarkable work on political economy, by the rector of All Saints, Colechester. "This is, perhaps, the ablest of the many treatises published about this period on the rise of prices. It contains, indeed, not a few principles and conclusions that are quite untenable. But the comprehensiveness of the author's views, and the liberal and philosophical spirit by which the work is pervaded, make it both valuable and interesting." -- McCulloch, p. 193. "Perhaps the best parts of the Enquiry are the arguments against breeding horses instead of oxen for farm work, and an explanation of the effects of enclosures upon the rpice of pigs, poultry, and eggs." -- Palgrave II, p. 121. Not a common title; the ESTC (on-line, 07/01) lists twelve copies (L, C, Ct; C-S, InU-Li, IU, KU-S, MdBJ, MnU, MH-BA, NNC). Bound without a half-title, narrow strip torn from one blank margin, but generally a nice copy. Kress 6435; Higgs 4046.

Haldane, Patrick
[Haldane, Patrick.] The case of the forfeited estates in Scotland. Consider'd in a letter to a noble l---d. London: printed for J. Roberts, 1718. 48 pp. 8vo, disbound. First edition. An argument by a Scottish advocate for special measures to deal with the legal and financial consequences of the forfeitures which followed the Rebellion of 1715. Haldane describes the inability of the Scottish courts to deal with the claims of legitimate creditors against sequestered estates in a timely fashion, and raises the possibility of further disaffection among the Scottish populace. A very good copy of a scarce tract; the ESTC (on-line, 08/01) lists twelve locations (L, ABu, E, STA; CaOKQ, CSmH, CU-Riv, DFo, InU-Li, ICN, MH-H, NNC). Hanson 2358.

Hawkins, Joseph
Hawkins, Joseph. A history of a voyage to the coast of Africa, and travels into the interior of that country; containing particular descriptions of the climate and inhabitants, and interesting particulars concerning the slave trade. Philadelphia: printed for the author, by S. C. Ustick & Co., 1797. 179(1) pp. + an engraved frontispiece. 12mo, contemporary sheep, spine gilt, red morocco label (rubbed, some wear to spine, upper joint cracked). First edition. The first printed account of an African voyage by an American. "Hawkins set sail from Charleston late in 1793. He travelled extensively and perilously in the country of the Ibos, who then as now were engaged in warfare with their neighbors. Much of the author's narrative describes a Galla invasion into Ibo territory. He was well treated by the Africans, and learned much about their customs and laws. . . . He was impressed by these Africans; he was not by the white factors on the coast who lived a debauched and lazy life." -- Library Company of Philadelphia, Negro History, 12. In the end Hawkins collected a cargo of slaves to sell in America. He went blind as the result of a disease contracted on his travels, and published this work to support himself. With an attractive engraved frontispiece, showing the author seated in a library, dictating to a friend. A couple of copies of this book are known with a leaf at the end containing a copyright notice, but this may not have been included when the sheets were first issued, and is not present here. A second edition was printed in Troy (NY), later the same year. A very good copy of a rare and unusual early American travel narrative. Evans 32239; Sabin 30956; Smith, American Travellers Abroad, H53.

A Seatonian prize poem; the author had been a fellow of Trinity College, Cambridge, and had already won the Seatonian prize with Duelling in 1775, and Prophecy in 1776. A very good copy.

Hellot, Jean
Hellot, Jean, Pierre Joseph Macquer, and M. Le Pileur d'Apligny. The art of dying wool, silk, and cotton. London: printed for R. Baldwin, 1789. ix(1), (6), 206, 209-508 pp. + six engraved plates, with four pages of letterpress explanation, and 4 pp. of advertisements at the end. 8vo, contemporary red morocco, gilt, spine elaborately gilt, green morocco label (joints very slightly rubbed). First edition. A translation of three separately published French works on the chemistry and technical procedures involved in dyeing. Hellot (1685-1766) was an analytical chemist of great ability; his work on dyeing, the most important of his publications, was first printed in Paris in 1750. "The major importance of this book lay in the careful discussion of techniques which made it a standard work for the rest of the century." -- DSB. Macquer (1718-1784) was one of the most influential French chemists of the 18th century (see the long article in the DSB); his treatise was first printed in 1763. A beautiful copy in a handsome binding of the period; it is most surprising to find a technical work of this sort so housed. At the end are six fine engraved plates (with four pages of printed explanation), and two leaves of ads. Very scarce; the ESTC also reports two copies (DLC; LEu) of what are evidently the same sheets, with a Paris title-page dated 1785.

His amusing tricks at school, his apprenticeship, death of his sweetheart, his speculations, his leap into the horse-pond when hunting on his favourite bull "Jupiter"; his revenge, his visit to Doncaster & Pontefract races, his journey to London and visit to the King, his encounter with two footpads, etc., etc. Knottingley: published by W.

An account of a Yorkshire eccentric, who trained pigs for use as setters in fox-hunting, hung the walls of his house with bits of old rope and iron, and wrote, printed, and sold doggerel verse. "Jemmy" Hirst died in 1828; his will required twelve old maids to run a footrace each year across the village green. With a lithographed folding frontispiece, printed on blue paper in Leeds. A nice copy of a scarce and unusual Yorkshire imprint; the NUC lists two copies (MH, CLU), each with a slightly different, but similar, imprint.

Ker, Charles Henry Bellenden
[Ker, Charles Henry Bellenden.] Six letters on Mr. Preston's Practical Treatise on Conveyancing. By a West Country attorney. London: printed for M. Trewman and C., Gilbert Dyer and Edward Upham (Exeter); Brodie and Dowding (Salibury); and Walker; and Ridgway (London), 1816. (4)86 pp. 8vo, disbound. First edition. A detailed, and at times ironical critique of a major legal text, which was first published in two volumes in 1806-9, and was several times reprinted. Richard Preston was a very successful Devonshire attorney. "In law, as in politics, he was intensely conservative . . . but his knowledge of the technique of real-property law was profound, and his works on conveyancing are masterpieces of patient research and lucid exposition." -- DNB. On a blank leaf following the title-page in this copy is an attribution to Charles Henry Bellenden Ker (see DNB), a legal reformer and conveyancer whose broad interests, in such areas as popular education, the diffusion of literature and art, and the growing of orchids, suggest raher a different temperament from that of Preston. Blank margins of the half-title and last page dusty, otherwise a very good copy, with outer edges uncut. Rare; not listed in either the NUC or the BM Catalogue.
