1714Best.-Nr. AQ15134London: Printed and Sold by J. Roberts 1714. 21pp 1. Without half-title. Recent red half-morocco red cloth boards lettered in gilt T.E.G. A trifle rubbed and marked. Marbled endpapers internally clean and crisp. The sole edition of an anonymous elegiac satirical epitaph upon army officer and politician John 1st Duke of Marlborough who contrary to the title survived until 1722 and indeed would certainly not have been interred at Antwerp given the allied offensive against the city during the recently concluded War of Spanish Succession. The prefatory remarks addressed to the publisher are signed by Thomas Johnson presumably the pseudonym of the unknown author. In those same remarks our author claims membership of the apparently fictional Marlborough Club who desired that he carry out this translation so that 'our own People may see the just Esteem which Foreigners have for the Memory of that Great MAN' a highly ironic proclamation that informs the intention of the epitaph as a whole.

Pointing out the manifest absurdities contradictions and falsehoods of the Awful Disclosures of Maria Monk 1836 including sworn documentary evidence and a biographical sketch of Maria Monk.
