The School-Boy a Poem. In Imitation of Mr. Phillips’s Splendid Shilling.
Oxford: Printed for the Author; and sold by J. and J. Fletcher 1775. . iv 12pp. 4to. With the dedication leaf "To Charles G" after the title. A nice large copy disbound. First editon included here as it’s the only eighteenth-century poem I know of devoted to a schoolboy. It is also the first publication of a hugely prolific author perhaps best remembered for his studies of Indian antiquities. The poem itself is rather gothic but its sentiments are familiar to every student ancient and modern: Meanwhile the Paedagogue throughout the Dome His fiery Eyeballs like two blazing Stars Portentous rolls on some unthinking Wretch. . . A sudden Paleness gathers in my Face; Through all my Limbs a stiff’ning Horror spreads Cold as the Dews of Death nor heed my Eyes. . . from my trembling Hands The Time-worn Volume drops. . . .

1800. Engraving 5 x 4 inches. Light soiling. A few contemporary ink notations on verso. Engraved portrait of Governor Anne Joseph Hippolyte de Maurès Comte de Malartic governor of the island of Mauritius. The portrait is a line-drawing done in profile and framed in an oval. Flags flank either side of the oval frame and it is captioned beneath. There is some light wear to the tiny imprint information causing it to be slightly obscured but it is possible that the illustrator's name is "Girouai" and the engraver may be "Noiret." The engraving is a bit crude and printed on laid paper. It is likely that it was done shortly after Malartic's death in 1800. A most unusual and exotic image a tribute to the rich culture of printing that flourished on the remote island in the south Indian Ocean. unknown

Assemblée Generale de la Colonie. Séance du Vingt-Deux Février 1791 caption title
1791. Folio. 10 3/4 x 8 1/4 inches. 24pp. Stitched as issued. Top corner of first leaf torn away affecting several lines of text. Lightly dampstained and worn throughout. Still very good. Early and unrecorded imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France. Issued at a critical moment at the beginning of the French Revolution the lengthy text concerns the government and judiciary of the island together with a proclamation by the King dated August 24 1790. The text nominally recognizes the authority of the King while taking measures to establish major autonomy of local government. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton in 1710 the Dutch abandoned the colony. The French soon claimed it as "Ile de France" and the island remained under the control of the French East India Company until 1767. During the long war between France and England at the beginning of the 19th century Mauritius proved to be an important strategic naval base and as a result the British took charge of the island in 1810 and the Treaty of Paris confirmed official British possession in 1814. It remained an important sugar producing colony and in the 20th century agricultural production was expanded to include tea rice and other produce. Printing began on Mauritius in 1768. During the French period until 1810 only about 400 imprints were produced mostly in the form of official documents and newspapers though there are also almanacs and a few other items. All are quite rare. No copies located in OCLC and not recorded by Toussaint in his bibliography of Mauritius imprints. unknown

1794. Small quarto. 9 x 6 3/4 inches. 28pp. Stitched as issued. Contemporary notation on first page some contemporary underlining in text. Minor soiling. A remarkable early imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France in the south Indian Ocean. The text contains a report of the French Revolutionary Committee of Public Safety regarding prisoners arrested on the island of Réunion being held as enemies of the Revolution. The document was printed in the capital Port Louis which was called Port de la Montagne from 1792 to 1795. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in Mauritius taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton in 1710 the Dutch abandoned the colony.

1796. Small quarto. 4pp. Single folded sheet. Contemporary manuscript notations. Light soiling and wear. Early and unrecorded imprint from the colonial press at the French colony of Mauritius also known as the Ile de France. The text contains the deliberations and acts of the colonial assembly of the island at a time when it was operating virtually independent from France. The acts all concern measures to be taken for the defense of the island at a time when British invasion was feared. The Dutch were the first Europeans to become interested in the island taking possession in 1598. After exploiting the island's dense forests for a century and introducing the cultivation of sugar cane and cotton the Dutch abandoned the colony in 1710.
