1731Best.-Nr. 600P21London: W Pepper 1731. First edition. Disbound. Very Good. 7.5" by 5". None. An extremely scarce political pamphlet from 1731 written anonymously and regarded as attacking the Prime Minister Robert Walpole. The first and only edition of this work. Written anonymously and purtporting to be a speech given by 'The Grand Seignior to his Janizaries'. This work uses many forms of rhetoric to discuss war and the role of a 'Sovereign Judge' in a satirical manner. Walpole's own foreign policy was to avoid wars so that he could lower taxes. With a frontispiece of a Turkish infantryman. Walpole was the first British Prime Minister and held the position for twenty years. This pamphlet was published in 1731 and has been regarded by critics to be an attack on Walpole with the ESTC notes on this work support this view.

1609Best.-Nr. 14228London; Printed by Thomas Purfoot for Clement Knight 1609. 1609. Quarto sig. A-K4 L1 lacks the final blank. Later spotted full calf blind double fillets to boards titles gilt to spine all edges speckled red. An early English account of Morocco by an anonymous pamphleteer sometimes called 'Robert Cottingham'. This volume gives an account of the privateer and adventurer Sir Anthony Sherley's 1565-1636 ambassadorships from Rudolf II Holy Roman Emperor to Mowlai Abd-el-Aziz son of Ahmed II Sultan of the Ottoman Empire. These accounts were made famous in Samuel Purchas's influential 'Purchas his Pilgrimmes' 1614 which is a rather more robust volume. Sherley was a remarkably well travelled Elizabethan gentleman beginning his career as a captain in Robert Dudley's forces before becoming a knight of Henri IV and then launching military expeditions to West Africa Sao Tome and Jamaica. Sherley journeyed to Persia where he became the representative of the Shah in Moscow Prague and Rome. Effectively exiled from his own country Sherley went to Prague where he became emissary of the Holy Roman Emperor to Morocco. He would later became an admiral of the Spanish fleet in the Levant. He died in 1635 penniless and obscure. This pamphlet presents Sherley's experiences in Morocco as well as accounts from other travellers like him as it would have appeared to the English reading public for the first time. Slight nicks to boards joints beginning to crack. First and final leaves a little soiled and small contemporary ink numeral to title-page. Modest paper repair to margin of C4 and occasional light spots of soiling to margins only. A very good copy. Rare in commerce we can locate one copy only at auction in the last 70 years.

1805Best.-Nr. 11760London: Tabart and Co. Good with no dust jacket. 1805. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Front & back covers are loose and the spine is missing. ; Note that this is five books bound as one. Wilkinson's first book is a first edition.

"Hamlain" is not a first as it is dated 1804 and I believe the work was published in 1799. It may however be a first Irish printing as it was done in Dublin.
