1749ref. 89871London: A. Moore 1749. First Edition. Octavo in fours. 21cm. Functional blue paper covered boards with a leather and gilt title label that runs the length of the spine. 16pp. Binding is solid and tight with a touch of sunning around the spine edges; internally clean and fresh half-title present some light soiling to verso of final leaf. A very good clean copy indeed in a functional later binding. An appalled excoriation of arch-rake Lord Viscount Bolingbroke castigating him upon his treatement and comments regarding Alexander Pope following the poet's death. Warburton Bishop of Gloucester and Pope's friend supporter and eventual executor was something of an authority on speaking truth to power although it is unlikely that his criticism had any effect upon Bolingbroke a man who was known for having a moral compass so eccentric it was a wonder he could find Parliament.

A very scarce eighteenth century pamphlet defending the healing properties of the water in Bath to one Dr Radcliffe of Tunbridge Wells. ESTC reference no: T62772.In this letter the anonymous author appeals to Radcliffe who is an 'enemy to our Bath-waters' as he vilifies them 'as good for little or nothing'. In the pamphlet the author addresses rumours that Radcliffe the physician to George of Denmark planned to poison the waters of Bath with a toad. This rumour has become a part of the legend of Beau Nash of Bath who was said to have calmed people's fears claiming he could neutralise the toad's poison with music which resulted in him raising money for an orchestra to play at the baths. The author tells Dr Radcliffe that he needs to stop speaking ill of the waters in Bath as it was once his favourite 'Tunbridg has been your Favourite formerly next Bath and then Tunbridg again; which argues you have much more fancy than judgement'.
